Studying civil war<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why civil war? And why now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s globalized and fragmented world, civil war is a constant, yet its nature is rarely investigated. While scholars prefer to see civil war as one of the many facets of the question of war itself, Giorgio Agamben has set to examine the question of civil war as separate altogether and, in contrast to the established discourse, as even more ancient. From his defiant assertion that civil war lays at the foundation of Western political thought, we will consider the practices and the implications that civil war poses on human civilization. We will analyse if<\/p>\n

Agamben\u2019s inquiry can be the first step in the inauguration of a newer and proper political thought. The goal is equipping future politics to face upcoming<\/p>\n

challenges such as AI, environmental collapse, and dehumanisation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What should participants expect from the seminar?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants will analyze constructs and tenets at the basis of modern political thinking. They will learn to assess and scrutinize between similar yet different concepts. Participants will also be tasked with reading English language papers and documents, as well as providing response papers.<\/p>\n
