Intellectuals and power: a history of institutions (6 points)
(ARTS)
Leader: Axel Fliethmann
Offered:
Clayton Second semester 2004 (Day)
Synopsis:
Objectives: Upon successful completion of this subject students will have gained a basic knowledge of the social, political and theoretical conditions of the history of academic/intellectual culture. They will be able to apply critical categories in an analysis of any culture-related text and will have developed a more complex understanding of the university. Eventually students will have developed a critical understanding of how disciplines and paradigms in the academic world come up, develop or disappear. In addition, students will have better analytical skills and a theoretically more reflexive understanding of the history of intellectual concepts and how these have been influenced by non-academic powers. This understanding will be crucial for the study of literary texts as well as for scholarly texts.
