DR. GÜL’S TAKE: FOUNDATIONAL THEORIES OF GRAMSCI, FANON, AND FOUCAULT
In this seminar, we will engage in the works of three influential theorists: Antonio Gramsci, Frantz Fanon, and Michel Foucault. Reading Gramsci, Fanon, and Foucault together is crucial because their combined insights offer a comprehensive exploration of power dynamics, ideology, and resistance across different contexts, from colonial struggles to societal structures.
We will read from their original work, and other works reading their works and putting them in conversation with one another.
