Social Change and Political Protest

From staring in the face of oppression to occupying streets, from everyday rebellion against conformity to self-immolation and fasting unto death, humans have formed multiple cracks and crevices in oppressive structures, some of which have crumbled and paved way for social change.

This course is designed to give students an overview of key debates in political philosophy about social change and political protest. It pulls from a diverse range of literature, from more strictly academic texts to activist manifestos and interviews, to understand what counts as protest and social change theoretically, the aesthetics and performance of protest, political imaginations embroiled in this process, the form and content that elongates these imaginations onto different realms, and its interaction with bodies etc.
