Comment/Description

This course offers an introduction to the critical theory of Posthumanism and it uses it as a lens to analyze the representation of migration in contemporary literature. The course’s objective is to equip students with posthumanist critical tools to understand the phenomenon of migration through cultural practices. The Blockseminar will follow a trajectory that begins with the most pressing theoretical and conceptual concerns and ends with an opening onto the most creative and affirmative ways of thinking about migration through posthumanism. Each class focuses on a specific thematic thread. The first class will introduce migration and posthumanism. The final four intensive classes will be each focuses on the following topics:
1) Technology and Migration
2) Mastery (Dehumanism) and Migration
3) Nonhuman Migration
4) Other Forms of Migration
The course is heavily focused on critical theory and close reading exercises. We will study the primary texts closely with narratological rigor and paying specific attention to the formal aspects of the text.
By the end of the course, the students should be able to employ posthumanist thinking in their understanding of migration phenomena. More information is provided in the Syllabus document.
