History of Political Philosophy. Culture and Power. This course introduces different theories of the relation of culture to power within and between societies, as well as to such processes as cultural nationalism, cultural imperialism, and cultural appropriation. Attention is given throughout the course to the interaction of gender, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, nation, and other factors in the distribution and circulation of power. In this course we will examine theoretically and experientially models of historical and contemporary resistance to monocultural patterns of knowledge and social relations.
