This is a variable subject course. The topic for Fall 2010 allows participants to study more closely than they may have before the basic texts of Nietzsche, Simmel, Foucault, Deleuze, Agamben to the end of developing familiarity with classical challenges to modern ideals of the good and the truth; early studies of the exile and the stranger; the general question of populations, security, and territories; issues of control and the dissolution of the vector theory of modernity; and, finally, the theory of assemblages as the global social form of life and death. |
