The aim of this module is to introduce you to cutting edge work on the philosophies and spatial politics of life and living. The authors that we will read and discuss are driven by a curiosity about life as a social, political, and economic force. At issue is not only life as a concept, but also the material bodies and biological processes said to constitute it, both human and non. Throughout the course, we will address fundamental questions concerning the nature of life and its implications for human subjectivity and more-than-human society as well as politics and ethics. Alongside foundational philosophies that have shaped understandings of life, we will maintain an empirical focus on lives lived amid late capitalism. Students will encounter novel conceptual tools to help you reframe and rethink social, political and existential aspects of existence. How are life and living are being reshaped in the early decades of the twenty-first century? How have life’s key components been made to circulate as never before? What are the consequences of rethinking community, identity and difference through the lenses of materiality, performance and practice? What becomes of the social when we acknowledge that humans are by no means the only actors in the world? And what difference does it make to our understanding of social-spatial formations such as capitalism, or ways of organising the political sphere such as democracy, when we understand their primary battlegrounds as life and living?
