Episode 4: Annette Vowinckel on Harry Potter
In our fourth episode, we speak to Annette Vowinckel about her new seminar on Harry Potter. The seminar uses J. K. Rowling's books as a springboard into theories of the twentieth century, such as those of Hannah Arendt and Francis Fukuyama. We discuss their theories and how they relate to the history of the twentieth century, how useful Harry Potter is for analyses of the present, and of course, who our favourite witches and wizards are. Can you guess which house she's in? Further reading: Vowinckel, Annette: Grundwissen Philosophie. Hannah Arendt, Leipzig: Reclam 2006 und Stuttgart: Reclam 2015. Deets, Stephen: Wizarding in the Classroom: Teaching Harry Potter and Politics, in: PS: Political Science and Politics 42 (October 2009), pp. 741-744.
