The course explores the special topic ‘Psychology of Self and Identity’ and examines it in relation to different historical material contexts and global geographies. The course starts with an introduction to diverse approaches in understanding the topic; mainly the Freudian, the Marxist, and the Existentialist. Then, it moves to approximate the analysis to three specific themes; power, capitalism, and colonialism. Each theme covers both theory and empirical material – novels, movies, and art which form students’ primary sources as they analyze and write their term papers.
