Course Content
This course deals with the so-called dialectic of law and transgression that has been conceptualized in many different and offen contradictory ways. It refers to the theoretical frameworks developed by Bataille, Zizek, Foucault, Stallybross and White, Kristeva, Derrida etc., with a specific attention to certain notions such as "law-making and law-preserving violence", "inherent transgression", "carnivalesque economics of transgression" and "transgression as the disavowed foundation of law".
