REVOLUTION:FUTURE PAST?

Prerequisites: Application Required. To apply for this seminar, please email sm3373@columbia.edu with your degree program, area of interest, and list any previous courses you've taken with Professor Balibar. Be sure to indicate if you want to be registered for a letter grade or as an R-credit.
In the anniversary year of what was called once “The Great October Revolution”, the class will undertake a genealogy and semantic examination of this central category of modern philosophical thought. The general title is borrowed from a collection of essays by Reinhard Koselleck, “Futures Past: on the Semantic of Historical Time”, originally published (in German) in 1979, that includes a seminal essay on the word “revolution” (written in 1968). In the class I will confront the question of typical
narratives
of revolutionary moments in history (and history itself as a succession of such moments), and the question of antithetic
concepts
of revolution as social, political, cultural and technological phenomenon (particularly insisting on the competing schemes of transformation and antagonism). Rather than discussing the issue in a deductive manner, the class will be based on accurate readings of classical or more recent texts, which highlight some of the central themes and recurrent dilemmas. It will prepare for a discussion on the possibility of a “revolution in the imaginary of the revolution”.

POL CONTEXT-PUB/PRIV ENVIR MGT

This class explores how the political system identifies public issues as problems requiring public action, and creates and implements policy solutions. It assesses what conditions foster change by anticipating likely outcomes and effective points of intervention to achieve policy goals. The course emphasizes the politics of environmental policymaking, using agriculture as a case study because it is a global enterprise with local to global scales of inquiry. We will explore the tension between the market and economic models and politics and political models of policymaking; interests and interest-group politics; the connections among expertise, knowledge, and policymaking; and the particular politics of policy issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries, including federalism and globalization.

MOVEMENT & FEELING IN 18 CENT

(Seminar). Literature, we like to say, moves us. We also say that it makes us feel for others, moved on their behalf. This seminar asks what it means to think of literary experience as both feeling for someone (but whom?) and traveling to someplace (but where?). We will trace the history of this connection between motion and emotion back to the Restoration and eighteenth century, an age of remarkable expansion for the British Empire. Though travel and sentiment are often kept separate in studies of this exuberant period, we will find that British writers working across a range of genres—novels, plays, poems, sermons, journals, and philosophical treatises—frequently drew the two together. Their works raise questions about empire and relocation even as they contribute to a new psychological and textual emphasis on the sympathetic heart. Slaves, prisoners, servants, and political or religious outliers test this emphasis, and we’ll discuss how our authors by turns facilitate and foreclose emotional identification with them.

POLICY & WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP

Despite gains in recent years, gender disparities in leadership roles – particularly in the corporate and government sectors – remain significant.  This 7-week course will explore policies within organizations, as well as governmental policies, designed to address gender disparities in leadership roles, examining questions such as: What are the goals such policies are/should be seeking to achieve? What are the best approaches – e.g. gender-focused vs. more broadly crafted policies?  Which approaches are/are not working? What are the unintended consequences of policies designed for this purpose? How do we consider debates in popular culture (from Sandberg to Slaughter) in the context of organizational and governmental policymaking and use them to inform policymaking? What are the limitations on what policy can achieve? The course will begin by briefly exploring historical and current gender disparities in leadership roles and the diverse reasons behind them, examining the roles of women, men, culture and policy.   We will explore the potential impact policy can have, identifying and recognizing limitations and challenges.  Finally, we will focus the bulk of our time on policy approaches tried by governments and organizations (with a focus on corporations, as well as academia and non-profits) to attempt to address leadership gender disparities, exploring the questions above.  The course will include accomplished women leaders from multiple sectors as guest speakers, and active student participation, including presentation of case studies, will be required.

GENDER, ARMED CONFLICT & PEACE

This course will consider how gender aids us in understanding the root causes of conflict and in crafting long-term solutions to conflict. We will explore gender dimensions of human rights violations that are created and exacerbated by conflict, including torture, rape, and genocide. We will also analyze how armed actors manipulate vulnerabilities created by prevailing gender-based discrimination to achieve strategic ends. We will review critical debates on women’s relations to peace and violence, examining relevant theoretical frameworks. Additionally, we will learn about the work of local and international women’s rights activists and what male allies are doing to address these issues. We will apply theoretical perspectives on gender and conflict to concrete case studies from Syria and Iraq. This class will also explore both the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of this emerging paradigm for addressing conflict. Students will work in project teams and produce individual research and analysis of the human rights situation for women and other marginalized persons in the context of the ISIS conflict.

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS & CITIZENSHIP IN AFRICA

This course focuses on social movements and citizenship in sub-Saharan Africa to examine how people form political and social movements and deploy citizenship strategies within social, historical, and economic structures that are both local and global. It draws on readings and lectures from scholars in history, political science, anthropology, sociology, and African studies to explore the following topics and themes: histories and theories of social movements and citizenship; cities and social movements and citizenship; citizenship outside the nation-state; social movements and democracy; citizenship as a creative enterprise that emphasizes claim-making and improvisation; citizenship within imperial, international, and national contexts; infrastructures, claim-making, and coalition building; opposition, leadership and democracy; and social movements of African youth and women. This course features guest lectures by and discussions with French and American scholars from Sciences-Po, Universite Paris 1, NYU, and Columbia, and is part of the Joint African Studies Program (JASP) at the Institute of African Studies that is supported by the Partnership University Fund (PUF) and the French Alliance Program at Columbia. It includes foundational readings on concepts, theories, and histories of social movements and citizenship in Africa as well as in-depth case studies on selective themes by various experts working on sub-Saharan Africa. It is unique insofar as it offers a strong foundation in social movements and citizenship while exposing students to in-depth case studies by leading experts working in a variety of disciplines and geographical contexts.
