OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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
