AMST601 INTRODUCTORY THEORIES AND HISTORY IN AMERICAN STUDIES
0101 M 4:00 - 6:40 HZF0108 Nancy Struna
AMST601 is the initial course of a two-course sequence introducing graduate students to some of the literature–from the field, the discipline, and beyond–that has shaped and reshaped Americans’ cultural studies over time. In this course, we focus on the theories and paradigms, or conceptual frameworks, evident in scholarly work through the mid-1990s. There is extensive reading in both the primary sources of theoreticians (e.g. Marx, Gramsci, Foucault, Butler, Bourdieu, Anzaldúa, etc.) and the scholarship that has employed a range of theorists.
