Dear students,

 

this is the Classroom Code for the Global History Lab 2023-24: 6fojdg3

 

Kindly register and send me privately your exams' list. I need to create a list of the first twenty students who can be directly enrolled in the course. The list will be based on merit, therefore we will be looking to the exams you have done during the first year's course and create a list of twenty students (plus other twenty for a possible second list).

 

You will find on the Classroom all the necessary information. Kindly be aware that the course starts earlier than others, it is extremely time-consuming and you'll need to comply with the rules set by Princeton/Cambridge. Therefore, if you are not fully committed to work on assignments on a weekly basis and participate to all the sessions having read and prepared the requested work, kindly refrain from enrolling.

 

Thanks,

MM

Theory from the Margins, CoFutures and Mythopolitics in South Asia

Online event: https://www.facebook.com/events/oslo/decoloniality-webinar-with-walter-d...

 

OUR WEBINAR LINK FOR TOMORROW: https://mf-no.zoom.us/j/62495029541... 

The event is at 18.00 hrs Norway time. Please convert to your own timezone.

In this Theory from the Margins event, we discuss two works (published and forthcoming) by philosopher and semiotician Walter D. Mignolo, one of the world's foremost thinkers on epistemic decolonization, and one of the founders of the modernity/coloniality school of thought.

 

In On Decoloniality, Walter D. Mignolo and Catherine E. Walsh explore the hidden forces of the colonial matrix of power, its origination, transformation, and current presence, while asking the crucial questions of decoloniality's how, what, why, with whom, and what for. Interweaving theory-praxis with local histories and perspectives of struggle, they illustrate the conceptual and analytic dynamism of decolonial ways of living and thinking, as well as the creative force of resistance and re-existence. This book speaks to the urgency of these times, encourages delinkings from the colonial matrix of power and its "universals" of Western modernity and global capitalism, and engages with arguments and struggles for dignity and life against death, destruction, and civilizational despair.

In The Politics of Decolonial Investigations, Walter D. Mignolo provides a sweeping examination of how coloniality has operated around the world in its myriad forms between the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries. Decolonial border thinking allows Mignolo to outline how the combination of the self-fashioned narratives of Western Civilization and the hegemony of Eurocentric thought served to eradicate all knowledges in non-European languages and praxis of living and being. Mignolo also traces the geopolitical origins of racialized and gendered classifications, modernity, globalization, cosmopolitanism, placing them all within the framework of coloniality. Drawing on the work of theorists and decolonial practitioners from the global South and the global East, Mignolo shows how coloniality has provoked the emergence of decolonial politics initiated by delinking from all forms of Western knowledge and subjectivities. The urgent task Mignolo stresses, is the epistemic reconstitution of categories of thoughts and praxis of living destituted in the very process of building Western Civilization and the idea of modernity. Overcoming the long-lasting hegemony of the West and its distorted legacies is already under way in all areas of human existence. Mignolo underscores the relevance of the politics of decolonial investigations, in and out the academy, to liberate ourselves from canonized knowledge, ways of knowing and praxis of living.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Walter D. Mignolo is William H. Wannamaker Professor and Director of the Center for Global Studies and the Humanities at Duke University. He was associated researcher at Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Quito, 2002-2018) and an Honorary Research Associate for CISA (Center for Indian Studies in South Africa), Wits University at Johannesburg (2015-2019). He is a Senior Advisor of DOC (Dialogue of Civilizations) Research Institute, based in Berlin and received a Doctor Honoris Causa Degree from the University National of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Among his books related to the topic are: The Darker Side of the Renaissance. Literacy, Territoriality and Colonization (1995, Chinese and Spanish translation 2015); Delinking: The Rhetoric of Modernity, the Logic of Coloniality and the Grammar of Decoloniality (2007, translated into German, French, Swedish, Rumanian and Spanish), Local Histories/Global Designs: Coloniality, Subaltern Knowledges and Border Thinking (2000, translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Korean); and The Idea of Latin America (2006, translated into Spanish, Korean and Italian, On Decoloniality: Concepts, Analysis, Praxis, co-authored with Catherine Walsh, 2018; and, forthcoming, The Politics of Decolonial Investigations (Duke University Press, 2021).

Do the Humanities matter? From which perspective and in whatever manner do we study histories, cultures, arts, literatures, social sciences? This course aims to familiarise students with key texts, concepts and methodologies in Cultural Studies and Critical Theory. It addresses the reasons why it is important to study theories on literary and visual cultures in a transnational and global perspective, opening up debates on Colonialism, Postcolonialism and Decoloniality; Orientalism, Occidentalism, and Border Thinking; Ethics, Aesthetics and the Imaginary; Subalternity, Indigeneity and ‘Minor’ Narratives; Feminisms, Gender and Sexuality; Migrations, Diasporas and Nomadic Subjectivities, and more. Far from being disconnected from issues of social justice, democracy and global citizenship, critical theory engages with ideas and questions that regard all of us as human beings and ‘organic intellectuals’ concerned with issues of culture and society, identity and alterity, literatures and media, arts and multiple ways of producing and communicating meanings, from a range of different perspectives and through a plethora of creative strategies of intervention and interruption. Critical Theory, addressed from a global perspective to include the intellectual and creative voices of scholars, writers, filmmakers and artists from different parts of the planet, first and foremost questions the ways in which we think of the world and make sense of it, through a critical appraisal of artistic and cultural artefacts, material and symbolic things, histories, memories and traces of the Human. This course is open to everyone who wishes to study cultures, histories, and arts by developing a self-reflexive approach to our experiences of the world and the ways in which we make sense of it.

The course “Hindi Language and Literature III” is comprised of two specialised educational routes, respectively coordinated by the Italian teacher, Mara Matta, and by two highly competent native speakers, the Indian teachers Tanya Gupta and Anju Kumari. The module carried out by Prof. Matta focuses on the translation and critical analysis of works by modern and contemporary writers, playwrights and poets. These selected texts are characterized by a medium linguistic and stylistic complexity. In the current academic year 2019-20, students will critically read sections of Premchand; a short story by Rajat Rani ‘Minu’; a short story (in Hindi translation) by Manṭo; selected poems from Jacinta Kerketta’s book Angor (see Bibliography). 

Acquiring competencies in literary translation will allow students (a) to reply to the growing request for such professional specialization; and (b) to develop advanced skills in the field of linguistic, conceptual and stylistic analysis of a written text, in both the origin and the destination language, which will be usefully employed also in contexts different from the specific discipline. 
These readings will also allow students to better understand some of the processes and dynamics which have shaped the cultural identity of modern and contemporary India.

Building on selected teaching tools, the module carried out by the native speakers professors will be specifically dedicated to 1) the in-depth study and revision of grammar and lexicon, mostly based on the units 21-24 of the ‘Corso di Lingua Hindi’ (Milanetti-Gupta, ed. Hoepli, Rome 2008, see Bibliography); 2) to developing high-level operating skills in the field of spoken Hindi. Students will take part in training sessions (individual and collective) where specific issues regarding the culture and society of contemporary India will be debated in Hindi. At the same time, they will study and analyse elements and peculiarities of selected linguistic registers, such as regional idioms, jargon expressions, theatre and cinema dialogues, etc. A specific focus will be given to understanding and orally translating audio-video materials, such as songs, movie clips, theatrical sketches, documentaries, etc., with a focus on developing professional skills that today are specifically requested. Most of the learning activities will take place in linguistic laboratories, but an active engagement with the local diasporic communities will also be facilitated in safe and supervised learning environments.
Thanks to the specialized seminars and conferences that are regularly organized by the teaching staff, students will also reach a high level of knowledge on major issues regarding contemporary Indian culture, society, and economy. Hence, students are expected to develop good operating skills in currently strategic sectors such as written translation, intercultural communication, cultural industries, etc.

Organization of the Course

The course will be organized around different teaching modules and various approaches aimed at facilitating a progressive and interactive teaching/learning modality of language acquisition. Frontal teaching will be supported by grammar exercises, language practical training classes and interactive work to be carried out in the linguistic labs. The students will be required to read and translate literary texts, to study and gain functional knowledge of the grammar and new lexicon, to carry out practical exercises and fieldwork which may include students-students interaction or supervised engagement with the Indian diasporic community based in Rome. The active participation of the students will be encouraged and stimulated by the teachers. The use of media and other technical devices is aimed at further stimulating the students’ interactive learning.

 

Exams' modality

The final exam will be divided in two parts (written and oral), to be held separately and in different days. 

The written exam, which will last maximum 3 hours, will assess the capacity of the student to read and translate a short literary texts, of adequate difficulty. Besides the translation of this excerpt, the student will be requested to translate some sentences from Italian into Hindi and viceversa, in order to assess the acquisition of the grammar and the syntactical structures of the language. Moreover, he/she will be requested to complete exercises that will be focused on the grammatical rules the student will have studied and mastered during the third year of the Hindi course.

During the oral test, the student will have to prove his/her capacity of reading, translating and analyzing the literary works assigned during the year. Moreover, the student will conduct a conversation in Hindi and will have to answer to some questions related to the grammar, syntax and lexicon.
