Course description
This course will focus on concepts as part of methodological inquiry in the humanities and social sciences. The aim is to address the work of traveling concepts (Mieke Bal) as part of cultural analysis, which helps to define disciplinary and transdisciplinary discussions as well as look at what has been coined creative humanities through conceptual writing (van der Tuin and Verhoeff). The course will include lectures and discussions on the role of concepts as well as lead into writing exercises: how to write with concepts, what concepts are part of our inquiry, how is writing itself a methodology across disciplines. How do we practice writing while also inquiring what are the concepts that both circulate and hold together disciplines we are involved in?
Aim
From this course the students will gain:
- A core understanding of conceptual work in the humanities.
- Developing insights to practice of writing, including concepts in scholarly argumentation and writing.
- A cross-disciplinary comparative perspective.
