ENG 214 - Freedom & Authority

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

English

Description:

We focus on four main themes: personal authority, social authority, political authority, and religious authority. The overarching theme of all of these topics could be posed as a question: How does the individual relate to the group? Nearly all academic disciplines have something to say about this question, and in the course of the semester we will investigate and discuss a variety of texts drawn from different intellectual traditions. Reading includes selections from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and such authors or philosophers as Dostoevsky, Kafka, Thiong'o, Saadawi, James Carroll, Freud, Jung, Fanon, Foucault, and Berlin.
