Average Course Rating

(-1)

How do we come to imagine particular individuals, communities, and groups as threats? What is at stake in such namings and classifications? In this course, we will explore the ways in which we come to know the Other and what such knowledge is productive of. With a special focus on works by anthropologists, we will consider the mobilization of affect, governmentality, the discourse on terrorism, and border regimes.
