300-400 LEVEL COURSES 324: Short Story #6720
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Boston
MW 4:00 NELSON, DUNCAN OLD CATEGORY: C This course will focus on the short stories of Ernest Hemingway (In Our Time) and James Joyce (Dubliners), and on a selection from Raymond Chandler and Joyce Carol Oates. You will be encouraged to read "the lines themselves" rather than "between the lines"; to get what the story says rather than what it means (Krishnamurti: "The highest form of human intelligence is observation without evaluation"); to engage with the story rather than to figure it out; to dance with it rather than to bend it to your will. You will try your hand at writing a short story of your own, and you will surprise yourself with the result. You will keep a notebook in which you will record your pilgrims progress. You will hopefully unlearn a good deal more than you learn.

300-400 LEVEL COURSES 369: Politics of the Middle East
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Boston
The attacks of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in September 2001 and the war on Iraq in 2003 have made the Middle East one of the most regularly covered- and hotly debated-regions. This course asks why the region is important and why it appears unstable and resistant to international and domestic pressures calling for economic development and democratization. It seeks to provide answers to these questions by discussing the creation, and then transformation, of the modern states in the region. It also examines the role of Islam and nationalism, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the history of Western involvement in the region, and the ways in which economic and international developments impact Middle Eastern States' openness or resistance to democracy. The course pays attention to central themes such as modernization, development, democratization, state/society, and state/military relations. TuTh 2:00 - 3:15 Farsakh

300-400 LEVEL COURSES 371: Latin American Politics
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Boston
The 1990s sounded the death knell of Latin American authoritarian regimes, but hopes for economic and political stability were soon tempered by uneven economic performances and rising inequality, bouts of neo-populism and a puzzling citizens' disenchantment with workings of their democracies. The new millennium brought the "pink tide" of reformist, left-leaning governments in Bolivia, Chile,Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, Nicaragua and Ecuador. This course provides an overview of the political economy of Latin America, and explores the main frameworks to account for these changes. We will focus on Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Cuba and Mexico to deepen our understanding of the reconstruction of the political system, the limits of democratic citizenship, changes in social movements, ethnic identities, violence, migration, and the renewed importance of human rights in the region.

300-400 LEVEL COURSES 377-1: Special Topics:Nations and States
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Boston
What is the State and why do we, or should we, obey it Why are some States interventionist, involved in shaping the economic and social structure of their societies, such as China or France, while others defend small governments, such as the USA and the UK And why do people rebel against the State and when do they do so The French revolution, the wars of national liberation in the Third World and even the Civil Rights movement in the US were all forms of rebellion against the State that happened at specific times. Yet only some revolutions managed to topple the State, while others were crushed by it. A few had their demands incorporated into or diffused by the State. This course tries to provide some answers to these questions by examining major theories of the State through the eyes of political thinker such as Hobbes, Marx and Weber. It will also review theories of revolutions from various perspectives. The course will analyze the historical, economic and international factors that help explain States' rise and fall, drawing on examples from different countries. TuTh 9:30 - 10:45 Farsakh
