Not Available. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)H599: Nationalism in a Globalized Era in Splash Fall 2017 (Nov. 04, 2017)
As the danger of xenophobia and isolationism is looming large, we will use this class as an opportunity to examine the evolution of nationalism in a global context. The main theories we will study are Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations and Edward Said's Orientalism. Using those texts as a springboard for discussion, we will investigate the development of the Other in a nationalistic point of view, and how this concept has become more and more threatening as civilizations come into contact with one another in today's world.
