Power, Movements, and Political Economy Sample Clauses

Power, Movements, and Political Economy. This track examines relations of power and the movements they instigate, from the broad structures of political economy to the micro-politics of interpersonal exchange. We consider questions such as: How have distinctive patterns of governmentality-of authority and dominance, of acquiescence and subversion--emerged? How is resistance to neo-imperial globalization manifested, and how have different modes of organization and control inspired a variety of critical movements over time? How do capitalism and consumerism condition contemporary experience? How might contemporary scholars theorize and trace the roles of supranational institutions and networks? Themes: capitalism, commodities and consumer culture, circulation, governance, inequality, and global civil society.
