Overview
We look at the ways and means by which power has operated in the past to consider who has power, why it might be shared, and how it is resisted. We examine different sites of power, from bodies to institutions, and its multiple workings, from slavery and torture to consumer decisions and food sustainability. The struggle for power can be reflected in racism, sexism, and homophobia – attacks on people’s identities to reinforce the dominance of one group or ideology. Yet those identities are also sources of pleasure, celebration, and resistance, whether through conflict or cooperation. Power can also be shared within communities, whether to bolster the dominant group or to provide more social equity.
This History, Power and Identity course at University of Essex explores urgent questions about how systems of power shaped, and continue to shape, people’s lives, opportunities, and identities, including:
- What is power, and how have these meanings changed over time?
- When and why do people cooperate with power or resist it?
- What are the sites of power and its contestation?
