HIST   473 MYTHS OF IDENTITY IN  MODERN NATIONS     Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
           * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP II
The identity of the nation is the most sensitive issue a state can face;
myth communicates common meaning where none seems to exist. The American
Pledge of Allegiance simultaneously conveys a myth, provides
an identity, unites the nation, and raises questions. What does it mean
for the nation to be "one" and "indivisible?" Who are the "all"
referred to in the pledge? General readings in the course offer
definitions for the nation and its key elements. Four case studies
(France,Germany, Israel, and the U.S.) then examine various domestic
struggles to shape the nation.

HIST   578 AFTER P0STMODERNISM                      Credits 4.00  Spring 2000
Why has postmodernism failed--run aground, as it were, on its own
superficiality? What are the new, 'positive" intellectual paradigms that
have emerged in its wake? After surveying the reasons postmodernism
proved unable to respond to the posttotalitarian caesura of 1989, we
will examine the renewal of democratic thought. Among the thinkers we
will examine will be Richard Rorty, Jurgen Habermas, Charles Taylor and
Jean Elshtain.
