Description
Provides an introduction to classical and contemporary texts of radical political theory, a body of work that critically examines fundamental premises of politics. Addresses the question "What is the 'political?'"
Class Notes
In this seminar-style course we are exploring Political Theory in two senses of the word ?Radical?. First we are looking at texts that are exemplary of the edges of contemporary political theory, ideas of politics and the political that are original, defy convention, and challenge our notions of what is acceptable to say, do or think. The second sense is one that takes seriously the etymological origins of the word, suggesting ?roots? or the hidden networks underground that both give strength to the work of political theory (foundations), and draw into it the necessary elements for flourishing. In this sense we will be looking at contemporary works of theory that attempt to do more than ?prune the tree? of existing politics, but rather seek to transform the world from the (under)ground up.
