  • HIS 349: American Dissenters

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC American Dissenters uses biography and autobiography, as well as fiction and histories, to analyze the development of lives, movements, and ideologies in American history that challenged mainstream culture, politics, and attitudes. We are most concerned with two problems: the nature of commitment to a frequently unpopular course of action; and the ways in which people choose to explain their motives, fears, and aspirations. Politics as such is of less concern to the work of the course than the study of what motivates people to stand against the main currents of the times in which they live. Among the lives we may study are the following individuals: Karen Silkwood; Lenny Bruce; Joe Hill; Mother Jones; Emma Goldman; Agnes Smedley; Jack Kerouac; and Allen Ginsburg. Among the problems we will discuss are the limits of free speech and the moral dilemmas of whistleblowers.

Following a general survey of social and religious tensions in the late Middle Ages, attention will be given to the contexts and political trends in fifteenth century Europe leading to the so-called magisterial Reformation under Luther and Calvin. The religious ideologies of the reformers will be examined against the background of Renaissance culture and developing ideas of the nation-state, the rediscovery and transformation of classical learning, the development of literary and historical criticism, the growth of populism and the power of the laity in the Radical Reformation, and the beginnings of anti-Trinitarian ideas among the Socinians. Some attention will be given to the conciliar and theological efforts to reform the Catholic Church, and to the dispersion of Reformation political ideals and theology to the New World, with special reference to New England.
