課程宗旨 Objectives

這門課將以雙語進行。 Bi-lingual Course.

這門課的核心問題是：共同體為什麼成為一個困難的概念？共同體政治的內部邊界治理，如何輕易使得共同體成為不可能？為何當代社會出現了內部殖民，而造成了不平等公民與新種族主義？如何能夠透過政治性的介入，使其再度成為可能？如何重新定義政治性行動？如何重新定義共同體？當代思想家如何思考解放政治？是否可以構想一個超越國家而平等共存的社會？

為了回應上述問題，這門課設計為三個單元：

第一單元將討論共同體基本難題、內部殖民暴力、不平等公民、無分之分、政治性等基本概念；

第二單元將針對當代複雜的科技技術、物流體系與基礎建設，思考這些物質機制如何更為尖銳地促成社會分裂與階級化。

第三單元將著重於社會介入的案例研究。我們會挑選不同亞際社會跨地區的介入性計畫，超越國家的視角，針對不同形式的不平等，挑戰法律，提出藝術性與知性的實踐模式，重新構想全球脈絡下的共同體與公民。

我們特別邀請了不同的藝術介入與社會介入的藝術家/行動者/NGO來演講。

1) 5/10 國際非政府組織的連結：
    TFCF 台灣兒童暨家庭扶助基金會。朱筱琪以及家扶基金會同仁。
2) 5/12 (Wed) Daily Life resistance from the cyber network 網路日常生活的運動介入：
    Invited speaker: Stacy Lo, postdoc fellow of the ICCS 羅琇如。
3) 5/17 藝術介入 Artistic Intervention：
    Invited Artists: 王虹凱
    Topic: 《想像一種感官地理與跨時性》

我希望藉由這門課，可以和大家一起思考知性行動如何政治性地介入社會？如何參與共同體的共構或是解放？如何考慮劇場行動、策展行動、紀錄片、視覺研究計畫的不同方案？是否能夠提出一個跨地視野的「政治-藝術-行動」的研究計畫？

我歡迎參與課程的同學將自己的計畫帶入課堂的討論。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 core objective is to address the following questions: Why is the community a problematic concept? Why does the community become difficult and even impossible? How does any community's internal border politics easily contribute to the effect of unequal citizens and even new forms of ethno-racism? Would any political intervention be feasible to revive the sense of community? How do we re-assess the meaning of the political and re-envision the composition of a space of equal co-existence? What forms of civic activism, law reform, and intellectual re-conceptualization of communities can move beyond the confines of the nation-state?

To address the above questions and to identify contemporary critical issues, this course is designed with the following three units:

Unit I will start from general discussions about the aporia of the community. The keywords are border politics, internal colonial violence, unequal citizenship, racism, and the question of the part-of-no-part.

Unit II will then trace the complex technological infrastructures of contemporary societies that intensify communities' fragmentation and hierarchization.

Unit III will consist of several case studies for intervention. We will invite NGO activists, documentary/film directors, and artists to share their intervention projects. We want to re-envision and re-conceptualize citizens and communities in the global context.

We have invited activists/artists to come to our class to discuss their ways of interventions as the NGOs, the artists, and the intellectuals.

1) 5/10 International Network by NGOs
    Invited NGO speaker: Taiwan Fund for Children and Families.
    Ms. Hsiao-Chi Chu and other colleagues from TFCD.

2) 5/12 (Wed) Daily Life resistance from the cyber network
    Invited speaker: Stacy Lo, postdoc fellow of the ICCS

3) 5/17 Artistic Intervention
    Invited Artists: Hong-Kai Wang
    Topic: Making a haptic geography and intertemporality

I welcome participants of this course to bring in their projects for classroom discussion. We can think about how to contribute our intellectual/artistic practices with this class through our research to address our concerns, such as dramatic action, curatorial action, documentary, or visual project.

Participants are welcome to discuss with me during the winter break the issues or readings they would like to study. I will modify the design of the course according to the participants’ plans. Students are encouraged to take cultural texts such as films, documentaries, literature, arts, historical documents, and social media as their project interface.
