FGSS 6241
On MAN: Sociogenesis and Subjectivation

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

In this course, students will read and engage how "man," as a concept, has come to be understood in certain areas of philosophy and critical theory. The class will engage how "man" has been socially constructed within a colonial context, with readings from Frantz Fanon, Homi Bhabha, and Sylvia Wynter. Students will also explore how "man," emerged as a consequence of discourse, with readings from Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Hortense Spillers, and others. Memoirs, novels, and auto-documentary films will supplement the courses' exploration of the genealogies of "man."
