Expanded Course Description
| This course interrogates the significant role of penal techniques such as policing, incarceration, and other forms of coercion and domination within repertoires of urban governance in the United States. Students will explore the race-making effects of policing and inquire into the strategies deployed under the banner of policing to manage the political-economic tensions of the capitalist city. We will be particularly attentive to how the “police power”—broadly construed by Michel Foucault and other scholars as a regulatory power that municipal administrators use to maximize “public welfare”—governs not only crime and punishment, but also a much wider swath of social, economic, and political life. Police intervene into urban property markets, enforce public morality, pacify insurgent political movements, inflict punishment outside of the prison, and manage myriad inequalities structured by race, class, gender and sexuality, and national origin. Course readings cover multiple historical and geographical scales, though our center of gravity is the policing of Black lives in postwar American cities. Applies towards the US History field requirements. |
