課程宗旨 Objectives

這門課的設計主旨在於和學生一起探討不同形式的邊界政治，以及這些邊界政治如何透過不同歷史脈絡的論述建構與體制操作而固定下來。本門課將略分為兩大部分：第一部分著重於邊界政治與論述構成的基本理論層面，我們將從佛洛伊德、拉岡、洪席耶、阿圖塞、阿岡本等人的著作中，思考劃分我他的運作邏輯，以及這些邊界如何透過論述政治，在不同文化與不同社會中，構成各種民間心態與大眾共識，而造成我們所關注的問題，包括我他區隔、理性的計算、法的暴力、國家機器、意識形態等問題。第二部分將著重於邊界政治的全球脈絡，尤其是新殖民主義，全球物流，種族政治，在地機構化縫合，以及對於當地社會的衝擊。我們將閱讀傅柯、法農、大衛·哈維、漢娜‧鄂蘭、米尼奧羅等人的著作，探討殖民性的歷史因素、種族主義、地緣政治、邊界複數化、全球物流、咽喉點、一帶一路、新帝國主義、新殖民主義，以及解殖方案等問題。

我們將將根據修課同學的需求，分別探討可以凸顯個別議題的例子，例如紀錄片、影片、政治論述、公民政治、物流學的特殊經濟區、移民與難民議題等。我們歡迎不同背景的同學參與課堂，討論台灣、大陸、香港、東南亞、南亞、中東以及非洲等地區的例子。我希望這門課可以協助同學們完成自己所思考的問題或是正在進行的研究計畫。

This course aims to study different forms of border politics and their discursive formation in different historical contexts. This course will be composed of two parts. In the first part, we will focus on the theoretical considerations on the questions of border politics and discursive formation. We select texts from Freud, Lacan, Althusser, Rancière, Agamben, and discuss the fundamental theoretical questions of the partition of We group and Them group, the justification of the count of the part and non-part, the violence of law, state apparatus, and ideology. In the second part, we will focus on the global context of border politics in contemporary societies, particularly the rise of new colonialism, new racism, global logistics, and local infrastructure. We select texts from Foucault, Fanon, Sandro Mezzadra, Brett Neilson, David Harvey, Hanna Arendt, Walter Mignolo, and look into questions of the historical factors and the contemporary geopolitics, such as BRI and its impact on local societies. We will end our discussion on the potential project of decolonization in our time.

This class will incorporate participants’ projects and work on various issues related to the questions on border politics, unequal citizens, discursive formation. We welcome recommendations of examples of documentaries, films, art exhibitions, literature, political debates, citizenship politics, the logistics of Special Economic Zones, migrant workers and refugees. We will try to include cases from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, and Africa, depending on the need of the participants in this class. The objective of this course is to assist students to think through their problematics and conduct their project.
