Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Content: A complex relationship with death characterises any form of political rule. On the one hand, political domination involves the control of people's deaths, for example by mobilising them for war or executing them for a crime. On the other hand, the willingness to risk one's life can intensify political action and shift power relations. Modern sovereignty brings this to a head. In its original form, it transferred the absolute power of God to a secular ruler, the absolutist monarch. The transformations of modern sovereignty over the following 400 years are accompanied by a series of reflections on the possible appropriation of death, either by authority or by the individual. The seminar will explore these extreme aspects of modern politics through some now classic texts.Objective: To raise intellectual awareness of the existential dimension of modern politics.Method: This is a reading seminar. Students should be prepared to engage in intensive reading and discussion.
