On Credible Fictions and Thinking the Political with Prathama Banerjee

History from the Global South with Professor Prathama Banerjee

We will begin with a brief discussion of Banerjee's most recent book, Elementary Aspects of the Political (Duke UP 2020). The book interrogates concepts with universal pretensions from a Global South perspective, disassembling "the modern political into four elementary aspects—subject, act, idea, and people." From there, Banerjee will present new work on the relationship between law and economics. To close, we will have space for a discussion between Banerjee and audience members.

This presentation is sponsored by Stanford Global Studies through one of its Global Research workshop series, "Law and Literature in the Global South," which aims to broaden the horizons of the Law and Humanities critical paradigm. It is co-sponsored by "In Search of Epistemic Justice: A Tentative Cartography," a research group that explores epistemic inequality in various cultural, historical, and geopolitical contexts, as well as within the academy.
