OxTalks is Changing

OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The Political Thought of Carl Schmitt

Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) was a controversial German thinker whose work has recently garnered new interest across the world. However, Schmitt’s writing is often challenging and convoluted owing to its 20th century German jurisprudential roots. This seminar seeks to demystify Schmitt’s political writings and offer participants a robust understanding of Schmitt’s key ideas within the appropriate historical and intellectual context. All interested parties are welcome; no prior acquaintance with, or affection for, Schmitt necessary.

All recommended readings and accompanying handouts will be uploaded to the web address below, however I will endeavour to make the seminar intelligible even if you do not complete the reading. Unlinked readings will be distributed by email. To be added to the seminar’s mailing list please email me or register here: forms.gle/1C5XmBGE5UuFhKeS7
