    History 1014 (12) McMahon Fall 2018 Hubbard Hall 11 TTh 8:30-9:55 am [email protected] Sills 209 Utopia: Intentional Communities in America, 1630-1997 This first-year seminar examines the evolution of utopian visions and utopian experiments in American history. It begins with John Winthrop’s 1630 vision of a “City upon a Hill,” explores the proliferation of both religious and secular communal ventures between 1780 and 1920, and concludes with an examination of 20th-century counter-culture communes, intentional communities, and dystopian separatists. Primary source readings include official statements of vision and purpose by a variety of charismatic leaders; personal accounts by members, both loyal and apostate; descriptions and evaluations by “informed” contemporaries; and utopian fiction. We will read scholarly analyses by historians to help us locate those documentary readings in their historical contexts. In combination, the readings, class discussions, and essay assignments introduce students to the sources and methods of historical inquiry and critical analysis, and provide opportunities for students to strengthen their writing skills. Course Requirements. The seminar consists of two class meetings each week. The reading assignments for each class should be completed by that class meeting. The History 1014 (12) Reading Guide on Blackboard provides questions to help focus your reading for the class discussions. The further readings (listed in the reading guide) are not required. Most of the reading assignments come from the essay collection and monographs assigned for the course. The rest of the assignments (journal articles and primary documents) are available either through e-reserve (use the Library Reserves link on Blackboard or the e-reserves link on the Reading Guide) or by link to an online source or Library database through the Reading Guide.

  • Utopian Communities
    Critical Cultural Landscapes Copyright 2010 Ingolf Vogeler Chapter 2 -- Communal Landscapes 1 Chapter 2 -- Communal Landscapes Regardless of official ideals, immigrant groups and assimilated groups in North America had very specific religious, social, and economic ideals of their own which they often could not pursue in Europe. All these groups, whether native- or foreign-born, wanted afterall to “do their own thing,” and not “to fit in.” The fundamental choice was and continues to be between the degree of individualism and communalism to achieve “the good life.” Individualism versus Communalism As social creatures, humans form many kinds of communities to meet their complex needs and desires. Starting with the Industrial Revolution in Europe and particularly since World War II in the United States, individuals and families have become members of many different kinds of communities. For example, individuals might belong and be active in a local Lutheran Church and the Green Party, bowl with co-workers, participate in block parties with immediate neighbors, be active in the PTA at their children’s school, and be part of numerous blogs, or virtual communities. In contrast, all the individuals and families in intentional societies belong to the same community with its many forms (Figure 2-1). All members of a Shaker village, for example, shared everything with the other members of the community, following a strict and standard set of beliefs and behaviors in religion, education, work, politics, and social America was the only country that started with perfection and aspired to activities in similar outdoor and indoor physical settings. Their neighbors progress.

  • AN ETHNOGRAPHY of CANAL ZONE AMERICANS By
    DIVIDING TO CONNECT: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF CANAL ZONE AMERICANS by MARILEE ROSE BREWER A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS In THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Master of Linguistics We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard Jamin Pelkey, PhD; Thesis Supervisor Doug Trick, PhD; Second Reader Lori Gardner, MA; Third Reader TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY December 11, 2017 © Marilee Brewer ii Abstract This thesis is a linguistic ethnography of the Americans who moved from the Panama Canal Zone to the U.S. when the Canal was sold to Panama. Theirs was a society of authoritarian socialism, lived beneath the Canal Zone’s official motto: “The Land Divided, The World United.” Close-knit, but wary of outsiders, they called themselves “Zonians.” Upon returning to the United States en masse between 1978 and 1999, they experienced overwhelming nostalgia for the Canal Zone, declaring it a “utopia.” Using Thomas More’s Utopia as a gestalt for the utopian experience, this study compares the features of More’s Utopia with the Panama Canal Zone. In particular, it examines the utopian gesture of dividing from the old to connect to the new, arguing that the image-schematic metaphor of dividing in order to connect is constitutive of Zonian culture at multiple semiotic levels, from the physical transformation of the earth, to the social construction of group identity to everyday practices involving intercultural relations. The author’s fieldwork within the Zonian community in the USA is intertwined with findings from cognitive linguistics and semiotics in order to interpret Zonian language and culture today, exploring the idea of dividing as connecting, from the way that division and connection formed the primary meaning of the Canal, to how these seemingly opposite forces are perpetually reinterpreted by one another until they are fused into a single construct.
