Institution:

Mount Holyoke College

Subject:

Description:

(Same as CST 250, Speaking- andWriting- Intensive) An introduction to some of the great critical voices of the nineteenth century. We will explore the ideas of such mutinous thinkers as Karl Marx, Friedrich nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Franz Ka?a, focusing on the style as well as the substance of their works and the circumstances that provoked them to write and/or that their writings helped provoke. The course will highlight the tension between appearance and reality, the dialectic of domination and subordination, and the place of reason and irrationality in social life. Meets Humanities I-A requirement, but not the language requirement. K. Remmler Prereq. none; taught in English, no knowledge of German required. Students with previous study of German are encouraged to take German Studies 232 as a complement to this course. For credit toward the major/minor in German studies, students must enroll in German 232 (2 credits) as well (and read, write about, and discuss selected materials from 231 in German); 4 credits
