Class Description:
Globalization produces complex, sometimes volatile, local responses. This course explores the interconnectedness of the world, considering not one world, but many. Often, the texts we will study demonstrate the collision of worlds made possible by the increased mobility of populations and the weakening of sovereign borders. In other cases, multiple worlds coexist in the same space, with contradictions and tensions that have emerged as the result of historical and political processes. Topics include colonialism, diasporic conditions, global media, nationalism, migration, human rights, and democratic pluralism. Examines how globality is experienced and contested locally and specifically. To the extent possible, the course combines study of significant historical phenomena with current political crises. The objects of analysis will also be varied and include literary texts, journalism, philosophy, documentary cinema, anthropological analysis, and critical theory.
