The aim of this course is to introduce some central methods and motifs in critical theory. In this seminar, the term “critical theory” is not limited to particular traditions or philosophical schools (like the “Frankfurt School”) but has a broader meaning: a theory is to be called ‘critical’ if it understands itself as part of social or political struggles, thus reflecting on its own historical situatedness. We will focus on classical and contemporary texts on the topics capitalism, gender relations, and racism, and we will read canonical texts from Marxist, feminist, poststructuralist, and post- and decolonial traditions.
