- Inhalt
- While some instances of the phrase “stay woke” can be found in African-American English throughout the 20th century, the term woke as an adjective with the meaning ‘alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice’ only entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017. The 2008 song “Master Teacher” by Erykah Badu, in which the phrase “I stay woke” constitutes the refrain, may have contributed to the popularity of the term, but it was mainly in the course of the Black Lives Matter protests that it gained greater prominence in American culture.
After being used by people on the left for a few years, Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez commented in November of 2021 that “wokeness” was “a term almost exclusively used by older people these days.” Her dismissive remarks provoked Bill Maher to ask the following question about the term woke: “Why, in such a short time, has it gone from a rallying cry to a pejorative?” For Maher, it has to do with the extreme and irrational nature of woke policy proposals as well as an attitude of victimhood and tiresome oversensitivity.
This seminar is based on the conviction that the debate on wokeness far transcends semantic niceties. The concept now serves as an important reference point of controversies over the course of American culture, particularly in the fields of race relations, gender and “trans rights”.
After looking at this debate as a late outgrowth of the American culture wars of the 1960, 70s and 80s, the seminar will study landmark contributions of writers that are considered to be at the heart of wokeness, Ibram X. Kendy, Robin DiAngelo, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Judith Butler. A particular focus will be on Nikole Hannah-Jones’s 1619 Project. At least as much attention will be paid to the critics of wokeness, Noah Rothman, Ben Shapiro, Wilfred Reilly, John McWhorter, Christine Rosen, Jordan Peterson, and Bari Weiss among them.
