[ecrea] summer school on rhetoric-performative post-foundational analysis

*this summer we are having the second summer school course on 
Rhetoric-performative post-foundational analysis in social sciences and 
humanities 
<http://www.helsinkisummerschool.fi/courses/course/rhetoric-performative-post-foundational-analysis-in-social-sciences-and-humanities/>at 
the Helsinki Summer School, University of Helsinki, Finland,**7–23 
August 2018.*

*

This course focuses on post-foundational political thought and the 
related perspectives of conceptual analysis, post-structuralist 
discourse theory, interpretive political analysis, and discourse theory. 
The broader aim is to learn how to make use of theory in research in 
social sciences and humanities. With emphasis on rhetoric and 
performativity, the course investigates how meaning-making takes place 
through contingent concepts, discourses and structures we 
inhabit.**These theoretical approaches will be discussed in relation to 
themes such as democracy, economy, populism, gender, climate change, 
identity politics, and the notion of ‘post-truth’. The students will 
learn about different forms of post-foundational thinking and get to 
explore the ways in which it can be combined with various research 
methods. As central to the post-foundational framework, the course will 
introduce the works of authors such as Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, 
Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau.

**

The course is particularly designed for MA and PhD students and 
postdocs. BA degree or previous knowledge of research methods and 
research practice required.Teaching will be composed of lectures, 
seminars, and workshops. We collaborate with the Helsinki Summer Schools 
on Populism in Europe and Beyond 
<http://www.helsinkisummerschool.fi/courses/course/populism-europe-beyond/>and 
Introduction to Conceptual History. 
<http://www.helsinkisummerschool.fi/courses/course/introduction-conceptual-history>

**

We designed the course as a**special opportunity to learn the 
underpinnings of post-foundationalism in a friendly environment and in a 
collaborative way. It also offers great possibilities for academic 
networking during and outside teaching hours.
