POLT 330 - Seminar: Responding to Disaster: Politics, Philosophy, LiteratureFC SSCI
4 credits
Political disasters turn our worlds upside down. These events disrupt ordinary life and cause immense suffering. How can the tools of politics, philosophy and literature help us respond to disasters? We will seek to answer this question primarily by examining political, literary and philosophical responses to three disasters: The rape of Nanking, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Authors include Martha Nussbaum, Richard Rorty, Jgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, Michael Eric Dyson, Iris Chang, and Tom Piazza.
