ISHU 28700 /38700: Human Rights I:Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The aim of this course is to help students think philosophically about human rights. We ask whether human rights has or needs philosophical foundations, what we need such foundations for, and where they might be found. We also ask some questions that tend to generate the search for philosophical foundations: Are human rights universal or merely the product of particular cultures What kinds of rights (e.g., political, cultural, economic, negative, positive) are human rights Can there be human rights without human duties Without universal enforcement Do the rights we enshrine as human mark only some of us (e.g., men) as human Autumn.

ISHU 28800 /38800: Human Rights II:History and Theory
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course is concerned with the theory and the historical evolution of the modern human rights regime. It discusses the emergence of a modern "human rights" culture as a product of the formation and expansion of the system of nation-states and the concurrent rise of value-driven social mobilizations. It juxtaposes these Western origins with competing non-Western systems of thought and practices on rights. The course proceeds to discuss human rights in two prevailing modalities. First, it explores rights as protection of the body and personhood and the modern, Western notion of individualism. Second, it inquires into rights as they affect groups (e.g., ethnicities and, potentially, transnational corporations) or states . M. Geyer. Winter.

ISHU 28900 /38900: Human Rights III:Contemporary Issues in Human Rights
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
For U.S. students, the study of international human rights is becoming increasingly important, as interest grows regarding questions of justice around the globe. This interdisciplinary course presents a practitioner's overview of several major contemporary human rights problems as a means to explore the utility of human rights norms and mechanisms, as well as the advocacy roles of civil society organizations, legal and medical professionals, traditional and new media, and social movements. Topics may include the prohibition against torture, problems of universalism versus cultural relativism, and the human right to health. S. Gzesh. Spring.

ISHU 29001: Moments of Happiness
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The sudden moment of illumination is a rare and sudden cognitive experience. In its high modernist version it is irrelevant to its cause, while later on it is mediated by diverse phenomena that range from works of art to libido. This course traces the presence of these awakenings in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. We also refer to several very brief poems and essays by Hugo von Hoffmanstahl, James Joyce, Czeslaw Milosz, Zbigniew Herbert, and Adam Zagajewski. B. Shallcross. Autumn.

ISHU 29200: Introduction to Ethics
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Open only to College students. Some prior work in philosophy helpful. The central question of ethics, as traditionally conceived, is how we ought to live, or how we ought to live together. This course begins with the examination of two ancient expressions of "immoralism," according to which it is only a kind of a high-minded foolishness to think of the good of another, or to worry oneself about justice. We consider how this challenge is addressed by Plato and, then, overleaping the centuries, by a number of modern and contemporary authors . A. Ford. Autumn. Winter.

ISHU 29201 /39201: Traumatic Everyday:The Holocaust in Polish Literature
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
In this course, the Polish perspective is juxtaposed to that of Polish Jewry. Our investigation of the search for adequate means of representing and conceptualizing the Holocaust ranges from the poetics of absence to testimonial accounts and traumatic memorization. Cinematic, literary, and pictorial representations of the Holocaust run from Borowski's real life experience in Auschwitz through Grynberg' s sense of mission as a survivor t o Polanski ? filmic vision seemingly unrelated to his own survival. We also reconstruct the realities of the Holocaust against the post-Holocaust mechanics of idealization and aesthetization, trace the emergence of the new approach to the "other," and read recent theories (e.g., Agamben, Rothbe rg).
