課程宗旨 Objectives

這門課將以雙語進行。 Bi-lingual Course.

這門課要從拓撲分析的角度，重新探討治理技術的問題。

我們可以借用拉岡的「符號-想像-真實」的主體拓撲學，來進一步考慮社會與歷史的複雜系統。符號層是指社會文化所遵循的規律共識，包括政治、經濟、司法；想像層是指主體在符號世界中所扣連的主觀意識型態與感受性結構：真實層則是指個人生命歷程以及歷史運動中的偶然遭遇與多重決定，以及其中的不可確定性。

我們將特別注重在不同歷史時期治理技術的演化，尤其是從殖民時期銜接到冷戰時期獨立建國的現代國家，以及轉進新自由主義資本全球化的階段。我們將透過個別案例，針對關於治理技術的關鍵概念——物流部署/基礎建設、主體感知結構、歷史環節——所構成的三環拓撲結構進行探討。我們也要透過個別案例，討論在治理技術的三環結構中，無法預料的無分之分出現的可能性，例如藝術、電影、劇場、生命經驗、社會運動等。

我們將以下列單元進行：

主體拓撲學與感受性機制：拉岡，克莉絲蒂娃，洪席耶

治理性的問題：傅柯，海德格，阿岡本，洪席耶、巴里巴爾

從殖民主義到新自由主義的物流部署與基礎建設：華勒斯坦、施密特、哈維、巴里巴爾

劃分邏輯：種族主義，歧視，不平等公民，少數族群、性別不平等、性少數

邏輯革命：無分之分的出現

我歡迎同學們帶著各自的研究計畫參加。研究計畫可以涉及不同歷史時期，透過不同文化文本，例如電影、藝術、紀錄片、歷史檔案，進行上述議題之探討。我們可以根據學生的需求，調整課程的設計。報告可以用中文撰寫。

歡迎要修課的同學在開學前和我討論期待閱讀或是研究的議題。

This course aims to explore the question of governmentality through the topological perspective. We will move from Lacan’s topology of the subject to the analysis of the complex system of socio-historical conditions. The symbolic order refers to the normative consensus demanded by the world we live in, including its politico-economic-juridical institutions. The imaginary order refers to the subjective position and the affective regime the subject is situated. The real refers to the contingent and over-determined conjunctures of the historical trajectories, as well as the indefinite aspects of the trajectories.

Our discussion will focus on the evolution of the techniques of governmentality from the colonial era, through the independent modern states in the Cold War, to the globalization of neoliberal capitalism. We will pay particular attention to the topological knot--logistics/infrastructure, subjective perception, the historical conjuncture--in the contexts of governmentality. We will also discuss the possibility of the appearing of the singular non-part in the topological knot. Cases may include artist work, film, theatre, live experience, social movement, etc.

We include the following units:

The Topology of Subject and the Regime of the Sensible: Lacan, Kristeva, Rancière

The Question of Governmentality: Foucault, Heidegger, Althusser, Rancière, Balibar, etc.

The Techniques of Logistics from Colonialism to Neoliberalism: Wallerstein, Schmitt, David Harvey, Brett Neilson, Sandro Mezzadro, etc.

The Logic of Separation: Social Inequality, Discrimination, Racism, Unequal Citizenship, Subalterns, Ethnic Minority, Gender Inequality, Sexual Minority

The Logical Revolution: Appearing of the Part-of-no-Part

I welcome students to take their projects to participate in this course. The design of the course can be modified according to the participants’ plans. Students are encouraged to take cultural texts such as films, documentaries, literature, arts, historical documents, social media as the interface of their project.

Participants are welcome to discuss with me during the winter break the issues or readings they would like to study.

Homework and Evaluation

(1) Students are expected to complete all required readings before class, participate in the discussion, taking turns to lead and facilitate discussion in the class, and submit five bi-weekly or tri-weekly two-page journals (1000-1500 words) on the issues that they have read for this class and that concerns their project.

(2) Students can form study groups (4-5 people per group) for the presentation to lead discussions. The group in charge of the report are expected to do their presentation with PPT and provide additional materials on contemporary conditions, artistic works, and film clips to facilitate the discussion.

(3) The final paper should be in the form of a research paper (minimum ten double-spaced pages, ranging from 4000-6000 words in English, and 6000-8000 words in Chinese, for MA students; and no upper limits for Ph.D. students) on a chosen topic related to the student’s research project. It can be a continuation or an extension from the reading journals. It is therefore strongly encouraged that students start to conceive the topic of their final project from the beginning of this course. Titles and thesis statement should be submitted by the 8th week after individual conferences with the instructor. We will arrange oral presentations in the form of the colloquium in the 18th week, and the final revised paper will be due two weeks after the oral report.

Grading:

Bi-weekly or Tri-weekly Journals: 30%

Participation/Discussion: 30%

Final Project: 40%
