MA (BA) Seminar Racial Capitalism |
| Description |

Racial capitalism has emerged as a key optic and point of analysis highlighting the co-production of race, racism, racial difference alongside capital. This course interrogates the intersections of race and capitalism, what this helps explain and the potential limits of this conjoined analytical use. We need to think clearly through: what is race, racism and capital, capitalism? Where is gender in this configuration? What are the material and the immaterial processes by which capital is produced? Bridging political theory with anthropology of capitalism, this course offers a longue-durée approach to understanding contemporary phenomena. This covers social and political theory on key debates on capital as well as ethnographic investigations of capital and its entanglements with race. This will traverse both material forms of extraction and the appropriation and the more ideological, religious appeal of capital. We will explore debates on racial capitalism that span multiple colonial and post-colonial locations and engage with forms of resistance that emerge from these settings. Throughout the course, the question of whether capitalism is simply an ‘economic’ system or a system encompassing other domains will be kept central. |
