| COM LIT (F26) | 210 THE LONG COLONIAL | JOHNSON, A. |
| The Long Colonial (Fall 2026) Commenting her film Serpent Rain (co-produced with Arujuan Neimann) Denise Ferreira da Silva notes that ““The infrastructure of extraction in the present is part of an ongoing colonial infrastructure that has never changed.” (1:21:31) This course aims first to return to some of the key texts of postcolonial studies (Homi Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty) which have seemingly fallen off the grid of contemporary discourse, to see if they still have something to tell us about what Ferreira da Silva calls ongoing colonial infrastructures. Second, we will explore the manifestation and logics of newer colonial formations, with a particular emphasis on thinkers from the Global South (including readings on settler colonialism, the cognitive plantation, necropolitics, extractivism and others). Following Ferreira da Silva’s clue and understanding such logics in terms of infrastructure takes us to an interrogation of what might have settled into impercipience, perceived simply as environment, the lineaments of an “engineered, configured, purposed world’ (The Invisible Committee): that is, what might no longer take on the explicit face of the colonial. What is gained (or lost) in articulating contemporary configurations of power with an older discourse grappling with previous formations of the colonial? | ||
| COM LIT (F26) | 210 ETHNIC STUDIES | GAMBER, J. |
| CL 210: Critical Race Studies This course provides an investigation of central approaches and concepts animating the study of race, ethnicity, and Indigeneity, understanding these categories of difference as inseparable from other axes of social difference. We will apply interdisciplinary and intersectional frameworks to illuminate how these concepts have come to emerge and cohere within a number of familiar and less familiar socio-cultural and historical contexts. We will consider how racial and ethnic differentiation as processes have bolstered global labor regimes and imperial expansion projects; parsed, managed and regulated populations; governed sexed and gendered logics of subject and social formation and finally, opened and constrained axes of self-understanding, political organization and social belonging. | ||
