Description: From the Paris arcades and the Inkan ayllu, people have mobilized a usable past to envision new communities that confronted capitalist institutions and socialized work. This course examines critiques of modernity in East Asia, Europe, and Latin America during the twentieth century to analyze experiences of displacement, dispossession, and class formation in the context of such social structures as capitalism and settler colonialism. It particularly focuses on the works of scholars who theorized the problem of modernity and drew on local traditions to resolve their tensions.
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
