JPG1503H: Space, Time, Revolution

This seminar explores historical, geographical, and political aspects of revolution. This semester, we will approach key issues of space, time, and revolution by engaging some influential reflections on history, studies of production of space and conceptions dialectics, ideology, and subjectivity, in order to make sense of their relevance to radical politics positioned within — and against historical geographies of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism. This theoretical work will be complemented by surveys of exemplary revolutionary experiences, such as the Paris Commune and the Bolshevik Revolution, alongside internationalist anti-colonial struggles. While addressing strategic questions posed by them, this course interrogates subjective and objective conditions of revolutionary politics — past, present, and future.
