ENGL 90187 - Marxism, Religion, and Utopia

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

Classical Marxism originated as an agnostic and anti-utopian movement and problematic, yet classical and subsequent Marxisms have had much to say about, and to do with, religious and utopian visions. The course will focus on modern, especially Marxist theories of religion and utopia, and on the relations between them. We will read a mix of theoretical works (Marx, Durkheim, Charles Taylor) and literary texts (Thomas More, Leguin, Premchand), the latter especially for their theories of religion and utopia.
