This course considers the intellectual and institutional developments of psychoanalysis and anthropology in the 19th and 20th centuries and the ways in which these disciplines defined a figure of the human that excluded the "African," the "Black," "the Negro" from the capacity to signify the universal. By examining these constitutive occlusions of race, the course considers the ways in which the "unthought" status of racial blackness, in particular, animates and aggravates the discipline of anthropology. The course will move from introductory readings in classical anthropology and psychoanalysis and a selection of works in Black critical thought towards contemporary scholarship that reappraises these fraught questions. |
