Description
In a series of workshops students are taught how to ‘make a case,’ i.e. how to:
1) give a cultural ‘reading’ of a trial by teasing out the larger (philosophical, political, moral) issues that are broached by a trial;
2) give a legal-philosophical ‘reading’ of a cultural text (i.e. a film, novel, work of art, piece of music) by reflecting on the larger (philosophical, legal, political, moral) issues that are broached by a cultural text.
During the course students will work in small groups on the assembling of a dossier, a set of political, legal, cultural and theoretical texts that shed light on a specific case. On the basis of these dossiers, students will write individual position papers that will be presented at a symposium which will serve as a conclusion to the course.
