PS 1622 - "OUTSIDER POLITICS" : ANARCHIST, PUNK, QUEER, AND FEMINIST THEORYMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 This course examines the notion of what "outsider" means in political thought, and focuses on a specific subset of inter-related theoretical, social, economic, and political movements that emerged in the 1970's and into the 21st century. While there were elements of each of these long before that time, the past fifty years have been marked by increasing visibility, and thus tension with the very notion that they are "outsider". This class focuses on some (but certainly not all) "non-dominant" approaches to political thought and life, covering specifically anarchist, queer, punk, and feminist thought. The class will explore their historical progression as theories and movements both, as well as focus students on current and intersectional approaches to each. The class will motivate students to be not merely consumers of these theories, but producers in the spots where they are inclined-a strong focus on writing, making, and publishing one's own and peers' scholarship will be the core of work for the class. Note: This course is paired with PS 1621 History of Feminist Political Thought. That course is not a pre-requisite for this one, but students will find that this one picks up historically roughly where that one ended (with just a bit of overlap).
