Program accomplishments

  • THE MAJOR SERVICE PROVIDED BY OICR IS TEACHING. HERE IS A REPRESENTATIVE SEMINAR: IN THE CRITICAL THEORY SEMINAR, STUDENTS ANALYZE NOTIONS OF CRITIQUE IN THE WORK AND LIFE OF MAJOR THINKERS, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THEORY AND PRACTICE, THOUGHT AND ACTION, FORM AND FEELING, MEDIUM AND MESSAGE, MATTER AND MEMORY, TIME AND EXPERIENCE, INTELLIGENCE AND THE SENSES, AESTHETICS AND REPRESENTATION IN RELATION TO TECHNOLOGICAL PROCEDURES, SOCIOLOGICAL CATEGORIZATION, POLITICAL PHENOMENA, AND THE CAPTURE AND CREATION OF LIVED REALITIES. WE BEGIN BY EXPANDING THE MEANING OF CONTEMPORANEITY AND GO ON TO EXAMINE HOW MEANING, INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE, IS MADE OR, CONVERSELY, UNMADE UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS. WE ARE INTERESTED PARTICULARLY IN GENERATING NEW MODES OF CRITIQUE AND JUDGMENT THAT WILL ALLOW US TO EVALUATE ANY NUMBER OF CONTEMPORARY PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE NOTION OF JUDGMENT ITSELF, THE SUBJECT TO WHICH ARENDT DEVOTED THE LAST YEARS OF HER LIFE AND ABOUT WHICH SHE WAS WRITING AND THINKING SHORTLY BEFORE HER DEATH. STUDENTS CAN EXPECT TO READ AGAMBEN, ARENDT, BACHELARD, BAUDRILLARD, BENJAMIN, BERGSON, FLUSSER, FOUCAULT, LEVINAS, MCLUHAN, MERLEAU-PONTY, RANCIRE, AND SIMMEL.
