  • 1 Modernity and the Crisis of Value (Hums 288 / Engl 284
    MODERNITY AND THE CRISIS OF VALUE (HUMS 288 / ENGL 284 / LITR 246) Spring 2020 Benjamin Barasch W 3:30-5:20pm Office: WHC 303 WLH 115 Office hours: T/Th 4-5pm [email protected] What is genuinely valuable? What makes one thing better than another? How can We make judgments of value that transcend personal or group prejudice? These questions have come to seem impossible to ask, let alone ansWer. And yet they remain central to our lives, especially in a time of conflict so intense it threatens thought. In order to gain insight into our predicament, this course offers a moral psychology of the human subject since 1800: an account of the transformations of human consciousness that accompanied the social changes of modernization, including the rise of capitalism and democratic egalitarianism, the decline of aristocratic and religious authority, and the growth of technology and the mastery of nature. Readings are split evenly between social theory and literature, and include Hegel on the master/slave dialectic, Marx on alienated labor, Nietzsche on nihilism and the revaluation of values, James on religious experience, Du Bois on double consciousness, Weber on rationalization and disenchantment, Adorno and Horkheimer on the dialectic of enlightenment, and poetry and prose texts by WordsWorth, Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Dickinson, Stevens, and Baldwin that, amid modernity’s crises of transcendence, reground value in persons, things, and existence itself. Students will also develop their oWn methods of judgment and discrimination in order to discover What these critical practices might look like in 2020. We will ask: What criteria of value can we bring to bear upon works of art and thought? What does it mean to “get it right” in the humanities as opposed to the sciences? What is the relation betWeen a fact and an insight? Above all, We Will seek to grasp how acts of judging and valuing are central to What it means to be a person.

  • The Gradual Loss of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tropical America: a Review
    The Gradual Loss of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tropical America: A Review 1 ,2 INA VANDEBROEK AND ROBERT VOEKS* 1The New York Botanical Garden, Institute of Economic Botany, 2900 Southern Boulevard, The Bronx, NY 10458, USA 2Department of Geography & the Environment, California State University—Fullerton, 800 N. State College Blvd., Fullerton, CA 92832, USA *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] Leaf vegetables and other edible greens are a crucial component of traditional diets in sub-Saharan Africa, used popularly in soups, sauces, and stews. In this review, we trace the trajectories of 12 prominent African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) in tropical America, in order to better understand the diffusion of their culinary and ethnobotanical uses by the African diaspora. The 12 AIVs were selected from African reference works and preliminary reports of their presence in the Americas. Given the importance of each of these vegetables in African diets, our working hypothesis was that the culinary traditions associated with these species would be continued in tropical America by Afro-descendant communities. However, a review of the historical and contemporary literature, and consultation with scholars, shows that the culinary uses of most of these vegetables have been gradually lost. Two noteworthy exceptions include okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and callaloo (Amaranthus viridis), although the latter is not the species used in Africa and callaloo has only risen to prominence in Jamaica since the 1960s. Nine of the 12 AIVs found refuge in the African- derived religions Candomblé and Santería, where they remain ritually important. In speculating why these AIVs did not survive in the diets of the New World African diaspora, one has to contemplate the sociocultural, economic, and environmental forces that have shaped—and continue to shape—these foodways and cuisines since the Atlantic slave trade.

  • Modernity and Revolution
    Perry Anderson Modernity and Revolution The subject of our session this evening has been a focus of intellectual debate and political passion for at least six or seven decades now.* It already has a long history, in other words. It so happens, however, that within the last year there has appeared a book which reopens that debate, with such renewed passion, and such undeniable power, that no contemporary reflection on these two ideas, ‘modernity’ and ‘revolution’, could avoid trying to come to terms with it. The book to which I refer is Marshall Berman’s All that is Solid Melts into Air. My remarks tonight will try-----very briefly-----to look at the structure of Berman’s argument, and consider how far it provides us with a persuasive theory capable of conjoining the notions of modernity and revolution. I will start by reconstructing, in compressed form, the main lines of his book; and then proceed to some comments on their validity. Any such reconstruction as this must sacrifice the imaginative sweep, the breadth of cultural sympathy, the force of textual intelligence, that give its splendour to All that is Solid Melts into Air. These qualities will surely over time make it a classic in its 96 field. A proper appreciation of them exceeds our business today. But it needs to be said at the outset that a stripped-down analysis of the general case of the book is in no way equivalent to an adequate evalu- ation of the importance, and attraction, of the work as a whole. Modernism, Modernity, Modernization Berman’s essential argument, then, starts as follows: ‘There is a mode of vital experience-----experience of space and time, of the self and others, of life’s possibilities and perils-----that is shared by men and women all over the world today.

  • Harrison Stetler Thesis
    “A skilled surgeon presiding at the birth of a new culture”: Christopher Lasch on the Politics of Post-Industrial Society Senior Thesis by Harrison Stetler Advisor: Professor Rebecca Kobrin Second Reader: Professor Casey Blake April 2016 Department of History Columbia University 16, 520 Words Acknowledgements: Writing this thesis has been an extraordinarily trying and rewarding experience, which I would not have been able to complete without an inordinate amount of help and support from friends and family. I owe a great debt to all my fellow students and to Professor Kobrin for providing an immense amount of support over the past year. I would also like to thank Professor Blake for guiding me through this study of Lasch’s thought. Likewise, I owe a debt of gratitude to a number of other teachers—Professors Mark Mazower, Adam Tooze, Mark Lilla, and Nicholas Dames, in particular—who have participated in a number of smaller yet indispensible ways throughout this long process. For letting me rant incessantly about Christopher Lasch, I am not sure whether I should apologize to or thank my friends. Thank you to my suitemates—Mark, Jackson, Kal, Derek, and Gerry—in particular. Thank you to Ruby, my intellectual soul mate, for venturing with me— through Adorno, Melville, and Flaubert—along our path to mystical modernism. I see this essay as a partial capstone to that journey. Thank you to Max for preventing me from thinking that “this is not the land of truth.” Thank you to Elena for humoring me during many a procrastination break outside of Butler.

    CIGNA TAPE: INA VANDEBROEK INTERVIEW FOR TRANSCRIPT_MIXDOWN TRANSCRIPT DATE: ............................................................................... SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 NUMBER OF PAGES : 15 VSI MEDIA 860.426.9253 VSIMEDIA.COM PAGE 1 OF 15 TAPE: INA VANDEBROEK INTERVIEW FOR TRANSCRIPT_MIXDOWN I’m Shannon McCormick from Cigna. This podcast is part of a continuing series we’re doing at Cigna focused on health equity. I recently interviewed Dr. Ina Vandebroek [VAN DE BROOK] in her office at the New York Botanical Garden. Dr. Vandebroek’s office was filled with all kinds of plants – and plant materials. In this interview, she talks about her work as an ethnobotanist and how her research on the use of medicinal plants in Carribbean and Latino communities can lead to improved health equity in those communities. Here’s Ina [EENAH] introducing her work… INA VANDEBROEK Well, I’m a researcher here at the New York Botanical Garden and the Matthew Calbraith Perry Assistant Curator of Economic Botany and the Caribbean Program Director at the Institute of Economic Botany of the New York Botanical Garden. My research is focused on the links between culture, health, and plants – botany. So, I study how cultural groups, communities in New York City, and I’m focusing on Caribbean communities and Latino communities, use medicinal plants for their health care and what their cultural beliefs about health are, and that research, those results are used to develop cultural competency training with health care providers. SHANNON MCCORMICK What is cultural competence and what does it look like? INA VANDEBROEK Cultural competency training is teaching medical students, residents, and healthcare providers on how to become more culturally sensitive with their Latino and Caribbean patients.

  • A SINGULAR MODERNIST: FREDRIC JAMESON and the POLITICS of MODERNISM Sean Homer American University in Bulgaria
    VTU Review: Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 1 Issue 1 2017 “St. Cyril and St. Methodius” University of Veliko Tarnovo A SINGULAR MODERNIST: FREDRIC JAMESON AND THE POLITICS OF MODERNISM Sean Homer American University in Bulgaria For the past 30 years Fredric Jameson’s name has been so inextricably tied to the fate of postmodernism that his recent work on modernity and modernism has been interpreted by some critics as a “retreat” from the cutting edge of contemporary cultural theory to politically regressive and imperialistic notions of modernity. For some of us, however, Jameson’s recent work marks a welcome return to what he always did best, writing about modernism. The “Preface” to A Singular Modernity (2002), however, seems to exhibit a marked weariness on Jameson’s part to returning once again to all those old undesirable issues that it had been “one of the great achievements of postmodernity” to have discredited (1). It is not just the renewed interest in notions of modernity in popular political and academic discourse that concerns Jameson but, I want to argue, a much older “dispute in the politics and philosophy of history.” What remains at stake for Jameson in these “undesirable” issues of modernity and modernism is the fate of socialism’s emancipatory project in light of the seemingly irresistible triumph of global capital. Keywords: Fredric Jameson, Marshall Berman, T.J. Clark, aesthetics, politics, modernism, postmodernism, utopia. Fredric Jameson observed more than a decade ago that we are experiencing a certain “return of the repressed” in the early twenty-first century as those previously moribund concepts of aesthetics, ethics, citizenship and civil society are once again resuscitated in academic discourse (Singular 2-3).
