Course Description:
This course explores Frantz Fanon's philosophical output from 1952 to 1961. Through a series of close readings, we will consider Fanon's contributions to psychiatry, critical philosophy of race, phenomenology, decolonial theory, and Africana philosophy. In the final part of the course, we engage with a number of Fanon commentators to enter into ongoing debates surrounding Fanon's work. Some of the issues we will discuss include the nature of race; the legitimacy of violence in revolution; the connection between psychiatry and society; the place of women in anti-colonial struggle; the question of humanism; and the meaning of decolonization. |
