Using discourses of Modernism/Modernity as a conceptual horizon, the course grapples with some of the leading ideas that have "entranced the minds of men" (cf. Borges) throughout the "cycles" (cf. Hegel, Marx) of modern history, with special focus on a number of recurrent demons of history: Imperialism, Anti-Semitism, Fascism, and totalitarian-style usurpations of other kinds. Assigned readings in theory, in juxtaposition with literary texts, will include interrogations and reconceptualizations of politics, history, society and art penned by Machiavelli, Rousseau, Marx, Nietzsche, Schmitt, and others, modern philosophers of culture such as Foucault, Althusser, Adorno, Weber, and Singer, and several related soundings (in sociology, anthropology, etc, such as Bronislaw Malinowski, Bruno Latour, Gaston Bachelard, and Sigmund Freud).
