Institution:

Subject:

Description:

Human Rights This course traces the history of the militarization of European society and its close relationship to the rise of new media on the eve of the modern era. Against the backdrop of its unspeakable enactment, war incited discourse and, perhaps, invented the modern public. Students explore how that invention and how the ethos of war entered into such everyday and pleasurable practices as listening to music, theatergoing, dancing, sex, and gambling. The first half of the seminar is structured around intensive readings; the second half focuses on student projects.
