Being Together: Affect, Care and the Politics of Experimental Kinship
SOC 243
Fall 2023
| Section:
01
|
| Course Cluster and Certificates: Queer Studies, Urban Studies |
This course looks at unique and experimental forms of kinship, community, and intimacy through the implicit and explicit challenges they offer to the foundational role of the privatized family unit to civic and economic life. We will look at historical examples of collectives, communes, and intentional communities to explore the challenges and possibilities of alternative forms of being, living, and working together. This course will also focus on college as a perhaps unique context for work about and involving friendship and collaboration, and will involve students in creative and analytical projects. There will be a specific focus on digital culture and social media, aging and vulnerability, interspecies companionship, and the politics of affect. |
