https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/RSP5036?type=COREThis course offers a selection of themes for reflection concerning critical perspectives on knowledge production. My intention is to have us together provoked to learn from and create in response to a few very daring feminist and decolonial projects to undo some of the most encompassing strategies to marginalize and render invisible subjects and forms of life excluded from social sciences and from political life by a pervasive discourse of Western liberal modernity. I am hoping that we will do two things simultaneously: critique (undoing) and creation (doing). In other words, my hope is that as we encounter powerful modes of critique of hegemonic epistemologies we can at the same time start creating new ways for us to express ourselves. What exactly is knowledge in academic fields, who produces it and who consumes it? What is the vocation of knowledge in public space? Who wants to use it to emancipate human experience from oppressive regimes that circulate hegemonic institutions and practices of power through the marginalization of vast registers of knowledge disregarded as such? What are the political stakes of its organization in disciplinary fields and, most of all, in the distribution of roles between researcher and researched?
