Please note: the first lesson will be October 24, 2022
This lecture series seeks to analyze North America via the analytical lens of movement/movements. Whether we follow cable news coverage on Latin American refugees, learn about supply chain disruptions due to COVID-lockdowns in newspapers or follow BLM protests on our social media accounts: on a daily basis we are witnessing various forms of “movement”. These range from people on the move, items being shipped to humans joining forces in order to pursue common goals. Admittedly, these are not recent phenomena. Migration, international trade and political advocacy by social movements have been with us – and shaped our societies – for centuries. Yet, looking at those seemingly distinct events and phenomena from a multidisciplinary angle will provide fruitful new insights. The lectures in the coming winter term will hence address the issue of “movement” from various theoretical and disciplinary angles. Ranging from historical accounts of the labor movement to podcasts as an “audiomovement” this series intends to make sense of the multi-faceted nature of movement/movements. close
