- TOPIC: Modernity, Disenchantment, Secularization: A Critical Interrogation of a Modernist Cliché A brief course description: Although recent critical scholarship has begun to pick apart the foundational jumble that ties together global modernization with presumedly determinative processes of planet-wide secularization and disenchantment, this essential modernist triad remains present and often unthought as an unquestioned fact of modernity in countless discourses across many fields of the arts, the sciences, and the humanities, as well as within popular culture overall. This course will expose this fundamental ligature of modernist thinking and historiography to critical scrutiny, looking specifically at the origins of this master historical paradigm from both a longue durée and a planet-wide perspective. It will also examine recent efforts to liberate global historical understandings of human civilization and consciousness from the pervasive, and still stubbornly persuasive, conception of a recent global death of God and religion, and a corresponding "Disenchantment of the World." A readings seminar, the course will require substantive weekly readings and discussions, spurred by student presentations, and a ca. 5000-word final paper pursuing the themes of the course with respect to a concrete case or primary source document or artifact chosen by the student. The course is intended for graduate students, but is open to advanced undergraduates who obtain permission to enroll from the instructor.
