This course, which is a follow-up of the minor ‘Evolution of Human Culture’, investigates various discourses produced under today’s capitalism and as such is concerned with one of the dominant cultural forms that presently shape our lives. By combining different narratological approaches to capitalist narratives, from cognitive narratology to new formalist perspectives, with critical theories, such as (new feminist) Marxism, capitalist realism and critical race studies, this course tackles the discursive atmosphere under contemporary capitalism from a multidisciplinary perspective.
The main aims of this course are 1) to shed light on the popular narratives under capitalism and their (often suppressive) power to organize our social world, and 2) to explore the possibilities of arts to act against capitalist hegemony by identifying, criticizing and retelling dominant narratives under capitalism in order to shape a socially more just world. In this course, narratives, and their formal aspects, are seen as cognitive tools that make us understand, experience, and feel about social reality in a socially constructed manner. Case studies range from non-fictional genres such as documentaries, media coverage, and pod-casts, to fictional texts such as films, literature, graphic novels, and digital art; in terms of methodology, students will employ (critical) hermeneutic and, if suitable for their research projects, empirical approaches. |
