عن المقرر

Through the last ten years the world we live in can be characterized at best as unstable. Regimes and orders of thought, government, technology, lifestyles, art and space have been in a continuous motion of rapid changes and dislocations. Trends on social media platforms can be the best example of such phenomenon where groups of different kinds are formed and later shattered, from sports to politics to music genres to art, thought, and ways of life. Quick affiliations and conflicts emerge in real life, insecurity, anxiety and aggression coupled with the stress of contemporary everyday life under a global capitalist system mark the confusions that haunts our societies and communities, and made clear since covid-19 pandemic. Together we will embark on a journey through basic themes in psychology and psychoanalysis in order to explore how groups are formed, and how we engage with each other as social beings. Through critically engaging with the readings and audio-visual material, we as a group will attempt to open discussions about what we mean when we simply use the words “us” and “them”

مَن يقدّم المقرر

Hazem Ehab graduated with a Bsc. in Political Science from the Faculty of Economics and Political Science, Cairo University, in 2015, and holds an MA in Political Philosophy from Pompeu Fabra University in Spain. I submitted my PhD thesis in Humanities at Pompeu Fabra University in December 2023, which focuses on the political ontology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
His research interests include phenomenology, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, film and music studies, and political philosophy. In general He adopts an interdisciplinary research agenda which tries to work its way in-between those disciplines. Aside from academia, he is interested in different aspects of photography and filmmaking - having worked from time to time on independent small-scale film projects- and music.

Course flow: As an introductory course to the subject matter, we will focus on a few readings as compulsory while having additional optional readings. The course is discussion based so it’s advisable to read the compulsory material in order for a discussion to be fruitful. In addition to readings, we will watch films, listen to podcasts and music, and of course all suggestions are welcomed. By the last session, each participant will have a presentation on a topic of his own choice using what we learned together.
