AFRI128 AF - Black PhenomenologyPhenomenology is a school of philosophy that emerged at the turn of the 20th century and is described by its forefather Edmund Husserl as a philosophy of experience. This class will explore how black experience challenges the Eurocentric proclivities that structure phenomenology’s fundamental tenets. ‘Black phenomenology’ is not a school of thought in opposition to phenomenology, but an engagement with different black thinkers who in articulating black experience, have come to reject, modify, and, in some cases, adopt in non-intuitive ways ideas concepts and frameworks from classical phenomenology and its many outshoots. Also listed as PHIL 142 CM .
