RLST189F PO - Toward Afro-Diasporic and Afrofuturist Philosophies of ReligionWhen Offered: One-time only; fall 2018.
Instructor(s): J. Gill
Credit: 1
In this course, we will analyze the field of philosophy of religion as it stands to determine which of its insights can be applied to Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturist notions of religion and which ones cannot. In an attempt to aesthetically experience what Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturist philosophies of religion are/could be, the course will rely heavily on fiction novels, poetry, music, movies, and texts written by Afro-diasporic people from various social locations and perspectives on some African notions of religion, among other centers of reflection. The course will also seriously pose the question if Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturist philosophies of religion need to be constructed for the field of religious studies. Letter grade only.
