Remaking the world? An intellectual history of decolonization
Alexandra Paulin-Booth
Kommentar
Decolonisation was one of the most significant historical processes of the twentieth century: empires gave way to independent nation-states and the world order was fundamentally reshaped. Decolonisation had manifest political and economic dimensions, but it was also an intellectual process. It was profoundly influenced by—and, in turn, influenced—ideas. This course proposes to study the long, complex, and multifaceted phenomenon of decolonisation from the vantage point of intellectual history: what were the ideas that made decolonisation possible? Which thinkers were key to the process? What possibilities and constraints did their ideas face, and what were the paths not taken? What trace did their ideas leave on the world? We will examine these questions through the work of thinkers such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire, alongside less well-known authors. Their work reveals the questions and the complexities of all the dimensions of decolonisation, from the political to the psychological. At its broadest, it offers an aperture onto the perennial question of the place and the significance of ideas in history. Texts and classes will be in English. Schließen
