Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Political Studies Do classifications of "left" and "right" really heus to classify conflicting outlooks on globalization or other aspects of the North-South divide? What about political teachings associated with one or another kind of intense religious commitment? Where/how does "identity politics" fit inthe familiar scheme? This course provides a historically grounded account of the ideological spectrum from left to right and demonstrates how extremes of ideology dominated political discourse and sociological analysis in the 20th century. It also considers whether that picture of the ideological field still applies as we move into the current epoch.
