다음 학기 자격 고사 준비하면서 참고가 될 만한 수업 커리큘럼이다. 두 과목인데, 둘 다 이론 수업이다. 하나는 문화연구에 대한 역사적 고찰이고, 다른 하나는 탈식민주의에 대한 소개이다. 여기 박사반 분위기는 학점 이수가 끝나고 나서도 상당기간 자기 논문 주제와 관련해서 이런저런 수업을 더 듣는다. 그러면서 자격고사를 준비하는데, 그러다 보면 4-5년은 금방 가는 듯 하다. 그러고 나서야 박사논문을 쓸 '자격'이 주어진다.

수업을 맡은 앨런은 화교인 것으로 알고 있는데, 국적은 미국인이라는 얘기가 있다. 시카고대학에서 박사 학위를 받았다고 하고 사카이 나오키의 후배라는 학연이 있다. 지난 번에 사카이 나오키가 왔을 때 같이 외곽으로 가서 차를 한잔 마신 적이 있었는데, 인간적으로 그다지 친화적인 것 같지는 않았고, 나도 별 다른 흥미를 못 느꼈었다. 박사 첫 학기 때 합동 수업 중 인류학 관련 부분을 맡아서 수업을 한 바 있었다. 그 때는 잘 몰랐으나, 주변 박사반 선배들이 자주 대만에 많지 않은 이론가 중 하나라는 이야기를 해줬고, 공교롭게 나도 이 쪽 이론을 내 생각을 전개하기 위한 출발점으로 삼고자 하는 생각에서 자격고사(1)을 준비하려고 하는 중이라, 마침 잘 되었다는 생각이다. 한 과목은 청강을 하고 한 과목은 수강을 할 생각인데, 영어로 진행되는 '문화연구' 수업을 정식 수강을 해 볼까 생각 중이다. 우리 연구소 내에 영어수업이 갈수록 늘어나고 있는데, 이는 최근 외국학생이 많이 늘어난 상황을 반영하는 듯 하다. 최근에 프랑스, 이탈리아, 아이티 등의 친구들이 박사반에 들어와서 공부하고 있다.

The Birth of Contemporary Cultural Studies

Allen Chun

2011 Fall

教學目標

This course will be conducted in English, 10 class sessions, 3 hours per session. It may be taken as common sense that cultural studies today is inextricably embedded in the study of contemporary society, but this is in my opinion the consequence of particularistic theoretical transformations. The goal of the course will be to reread familiar classic works, with an aim toward understanding the root of embeddedness that links the object of societal inquiry and subjective interpretation or critical involvement. One of the ironic results of the Foucaultian revolution that gave birth to postmodern theory of various kinds is that the kind of historical analysis of culture or systems of thought that was characteristic of his approach disappeared at the same time. This did not prevent, of course, prevent the evolution of neo-Foucaultian approaches of various kinds (for example, governnmentality), but similar trends can be seen in the advent of other schools of cultural studies. In short, through this re-reading, we will take seriously the notion of discursive “birth”, the seeming inevitability of “contemporary” and their relationship to the emergence of critical subjectivity, by examining case paradigms.
