Section Information for Spring 2018

This section of the course explores the question of the ‘Self’ as a philosophical and cultural issue via an examination of modern subjectivity and its limitations through theoretical, literary and filmic texts. We establish the background for this course by identifying the modern roots of the self and identity in the works of Descartes and Locke. Thinkers and writers such as Nietzsche, Freud, Kafka, Foucault, Nolan and Lispector will provide the framework for our investigations of the question of selfhood as it was challenged and reshaped in the 20th Century.
