MTL 334A: Concepts of Modernity 1: Philosophical Foundations

Modernism, modernity " the obsessive question (asked since the age that we call 'Renaissance') of what is 'now' will be approached from the perspective of historically changing 'chronotopes' (i.e. 'social constructions of time'). The different ways in which different cultures shape the horizons of past, present, and future determine changing modalities of experience and perception, action and behavior, and they thus offer a complex access to and understanding of cultural institutions and discourses. Works by (among others) Kant, Hume, Baudelaire, Marx, Nietzsche, Apollinaire, Heidegger, Beauvoir, Arendt, Lyotard.

MTL 210: Critical Theory and The Environment (AMSTUD 210, ANTHRO 210B)

Critical theoretical approaches (such as cultural studies, Marxism, postcolonial theory, cultural geography, feminism, and science studies) have generally been underutilized as methodologies for grappling with environmental situations, yet they hold much promise for addressing their complexity. This course asks: How does critical theory about the environment construe the current situation? What kinds of political or technological solutions do these theories call for or imply? The first half of the seminar introduces critical approaches and methodologies in relation to the environment. In the second section, we will use a variety of theoretical approaches to address environmental justice, water, agriculture, toxics, and animals.
