Course objectives
The course introduces students to current interpretations of the Anthropocene, especially those related to violence and political ontology. This course shifts focus: from (violent) human behaviour to (violence as) mode of being; from the (violent) human to (violence of) relations in more-than-human worlds. By rethinking and studying violence from a different perspective, the aim is to contribute to social and political debates on dealing with technology and technopolitical pathways.
