Extensive interdisciplinary overview and in-depth discussions of debt research as a social issue.
Debts represent an economy of obligation. But: are we always obliged to pay back our debts or is there room for other logics (David Graeber)? In our lecture series “The Debts Complex”, we want to explore particularly the philosophical and anthropological side of indebtedness and culpability by focusing on the genealogy of debts as a discursive product of society. How are economy and morality intertwined? In which ways do gouvernemental mechanisms of debts produce the inner industry of the indebted self (Maurizio Lazzarato)?
Lectures, discussions, group work and short student presentations.
Active participation, written coursework.
