SoSe 24: Politics of Love and the Intimate
Dr. Omar Kasmani
Comments
We swipe for love; we tap for it, but what do we speak of when we speak of love? Is a love a gift, a craft, a calling or a quest? What work does intimacy do, what names does love take in other geographies? Can love ever be a decolonial force, and intimacy, a shared ground for solidarity, political worldmaking? Through cross-disciplinary readings, workshopping ideas in class, students will be invited to think through such questions and to collaboratively develop a glossary – a la Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse – and write entries so as to arrive at a shared lexicon of love(s). Combining literary and scholarly sources, students will learn how to read and write creatively across ethnography, queer-feminist modes of memoir, prose and autotheory. close
