Hoston Class Meetings: Mon 5:00 p.m‐7:50 p.m. Office : 376 Social Science Building Location: 2204 Warren Lecture Hall Telephone: 858.449.0455 Hours: Mon 3:00‐4:30 p.m. and by appt. E‐Mail: [email protected] Professor Hoston’s Website: www.germaineahoston.com Course Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chineserevolution2013/ Course E‐Mail: [email protected] This course is the second of a two‐course sequence1 designed to explore the political dynamics of revolutionary change in comparative historical perspective. However, the course is designed as a stand‐alone course (most students enrolled will not have taken the Russian Revolution segment) so that those who have not taken POLI 130AD will not be at a disadvantage. We will begin by examining key elements of political philosophy in East and West that might enable us to comprehend more fully the origins and nature of revolutionary change from above and below. We will scrutinize critically competing social scientific models of political and social revolution. Our common point of departure is the French Revolution of 1789, a world‐historical event that defined both the notion of revolution itself and the key dynamics that defined its leadership and consequences as revolutionary in nature. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was inspired by the French example and in turn encouraged Chinese thinker activists to consider socialist revolution as the solution to China’s national dilemma. Among the themes we will consider are the notion of a continuous or ʺpermanentʺ revolution, the notion of ʺOriental society,ʺ and the difficulties that Chinese thinker‐activists faced in relying on a European theory of revolution (Marxism) to guide a revolution in a non‐European social and cultural context.
