PHIL 6050: Topics in Philosophy: Necropolitics and Gender
University of North Carolina, Charlotte
In-depth treatment of selected problems and issues in philosophy. Section information text: In this course, we will explore the relationship between necropolitics and gender. Achille Mbembe coined the term “necropolitics” in an attempt to think the political situation that postcolonial regimes face nowadays as a result of racialized regimes. In this class, we will examine the ways gender also plays a role in necropolitics. We will read texts that allow us to think about the relationship between necropolitics and violence against women. We will concentrate on ways contemporary feminists have developed conceptual tools to think about violence directed against women, as well as engage with feminist forms of resistance against this violence.
