Code#5061 HW 207
Note: Prerequisite: English 220; Fulfills GER Stage 3(A)
This seminar explores the history of human rights discourse, with a special focus on how twentieth century literature and critical theory both support and challenge that discourse. The course weaves together critical strands currently preoccupying twentieth century studies: transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, Cold War politics, transitional justice, post-colonial studies and globalization. It should be of particular interest to those students interested in exploring questions of law and ethics. Questions we will consider include: How do we define “human rights,” and what do those rights have to do with global literary production? How do we negotiate between the subject who bears rights and the literary subject? How are human rights and literary narratives (or non-narratives) related? How can the logic of human rights account for imperialism and colonialism, and material disparities? Where is the “difference” in human rights rhetoric?
Requirements include
2000 word midterm paper, 4000 word research paper, and oral presentation.

Reflecting on the broader social and political context of these developments we will study a range of topics. These may include, but will not be limited to, a consideration of the historical significance of the myth of the self-made man evoked in Horatio Alger novels, the role of the frontier and the cowboy popularized in Owen Wister's The Virginian, the resonance of early Disney films, such as The Three Little Pigs, during the Great Depression, and the critique of mass consumer culture found in the poetry of Allen Ginsberg.

POLSC 304.01 Marx and Marxism Prof. Marasco
Section 900 T/F 11:10-12:25
Code#4565 HW 1731
This
course provides an intensive survey of Marx’s writings and the
theoretical work that travels under his name. Neither a comprehensive
study
of Marxist scholarship across the disciplines nor a history of Marxist
thought
and practice, this course offers a focused tour of Marx and Marxist theory.
Given the geographical, historical and disciplinary range of what goes by the
name of Marxism, our tour cannot cover everything, nor can it to justice to
the richness of the subject matter in just thirteen weeks. Instead, this
course aims to give students a working grasp of Marx’s most significant
ideas, concepts, and arguments, as well as the capacity to test these ideas,
use these concepts, and evaluate these arguments for contemporary political
thinking.
Naturally, we will devote much of our energy to a systematic study of Marx™s own writings, from his early philosophical engagement with German Idealism to his mature analysis of capitalism. Before we begin with our reading of Marx, we will start the semester with a look at some of his philosophical influences and touchstones, specifically G.W.F. Hegel and Ludwig Feuerbach. We will turn then to questions and writings pertaining to Marxist method, the theory of politics and the state, the philosophy of history, and the critique of political economy. Along with Marx, we will engage a number of twentieth-century Marxist theorists, including Raymond Williams, Georg Lukács, Louis Althusser, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and others. We will conclude the semester with oral presentations, in which small groups of students will prepare and present book reports for the rest of the class.
POLSC 304.66 Power Prof. Feldman
Section 900 M 5:35-8:15
Code#4564 Roosevelt House 204
This seminar will be devoted to exploring rival theoretical formulations of the concept of power. What is power, and who has power? We will examine issues such as the balance between popular power and institutionalized power, the relationship between the state and economic power, ideological power and the question of “false consciousness” and social science debates concerning the multiple dimensions of power.
Texts are likely to include: Robert Dahl, Who Governs? Steven Lukes, Power: A Radical View; Hannah Arendt, On Violence; James Scott, Domination and the Arts of Resistance; John Gaventa, Power and Powerlessness; Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish.
