The Rebirth of Metaphysics and Morality: Anscombe, Murdoch, Foot
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom
When World War II drew away Britain’s male philosophers, the universities of England became, to paraphrase Mary Midgely, “places where the voices of women could finally be heard.” What they said and wrote would amount to nothing less than a revolution in analytic philosophy. Midgely, Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, and Iris Murdoch, all students at Oxford, shared in common a dislike of the anti-metaphysical orientation then prevailing in...

African Witchcraft: Rumor, Politics, and Memory
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom
In Africa, and in African Studies, witchcraft is awkward. Witchcraft and sorcery practices, the belief in its power, accusations of witchcraft, and fears of witchcraft alike are sites of perpetual racial stereotyping—a stereotype that, for many Africans, is forever anxiously anticipated. In this context, witchcraft comes to operate as both a proving ground and a metaphor—for African “primitivity” or for modernity, for “superstition”...

Imagining Africa: Concept and Reality
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom
What does it mean to “do African Studies”? As a rubric, the phrase is broad and imprecise, and the body of scholarship collected under it likewise ample and disparate. If anything, what unites the field is the continent itself, the persons and things that inhabit it, and the phenomena that take place there. But even the scholarship written in Africa, about Africa, rarely refers to itself as “Africanist.” How, then, did the idea of “Africa”...

African American Literature in the 21st Century
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom
African American Literature in the 21st Century: Race, Aesthetics, and Theory Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel Beloved forever changed the course of literary study. But if, as the scholar Kenneth Warren has suggested, 20th-century African American literature was a response to Jim Crow, how do we read the vibrant and diverse output of American American literature—and theory—in the 21st century? Everywhere we turn, we see African American...
