2018/2019
Temporalities, subjectivities, politics
Seminar 2018-2019
Paris 8 University
2, Rue de la Liberté – 93526 Saint-Denis
The temporality of political upheaval is that of a rupture relative to the continuity of an abstract, homogeneous and empty time of capital. Conversely, the chronopolitics of capitalism and its dream of global synchronicity finds its ultimate realization in the crisis, which has become a mode of governmentality.
What if we take up the question again from the notion of subjectivity as it relates to a capacity to act, that is to say to politics in a given place and time, according to a point of view that was not interchangeable? Moreover, what forms of political temporalities and subjectivities do the movements we know give rise to? What are their forms of inscription in social practice, the languages by which they are transmitted, their forms of historicity?
This seminar invites to an exploration of the notions of temporalities and political subjectivities, by asking the question, not only of how to make history, but also of what forms of action and political praxis relay on the present situation. We will question the conditions under which the modalities of the relationship between life and politics have been transformed, following inter- and transdisciplinary methodologies. A large place will be given to research dealing with the forms of the archive.
