Poslední úprava: Dagmar Lorenz - Meyer, M.A., Ph.D. (22.09.2021)
This course introduces students into the racial structuring of contemporary societies, including their bio- and necropolitics, the forgotten places of slow death, and white innocence. Of particular interest are questions of how we can take account of histories and experiences that are not integrated into historical discourses or archives, and what forms of futurity might inhere in these histories and everyday practices and sensations.
