Called “Icarians,” members of this party ascribed to the social philosophy and utopian vision outlined in Cabet’s 1840 novel, Voyage en Icarie , written while in exile. This thesis analyzes the conception of space developed in Cabet’s book, and tracks the group’s actual spatial practice over the next seventeen years. During this period, thousands of Icarians led by Cabet attempted to establish an actual colony in the wilderness of the United States.

Nas últimas Contrary to this, I argue that they either bring about décadas, as teorias da história em geral pretenderam particular historiographical innovations in terms of transformar a prática dos estudos históricos por meio methodology but leave the entirety of historical studies de uma aplicação direta de seus insights. Em vez disso, intact or change the way we think about the entirety argumento que essas teorias ou trazem inovações of historical studies merely by describing and explaining historiográficas particulares em termos de metodologia, it in fresh and novel ways, without the need (and mas deixam a totalidade dos estudos históricos intactos, possibility) of application. In the former case, theories ou transformam a maneira como nós pensamos sobre appear as internal to historical studies. In the latter case, a totalidade dos estudos históricos apenas descrevendo they appear as theories about history, and such theories e explicando-os através de formas novas e inovadoras, are no longer limited to study history understood as sem a necessidade (e possibilidade) de aplicação.

Marxism and the Solidarity Economy: Toward a New Theory of Revolution Abstract In the twenty-first century, it is time that Marxists updated the conception of socialist revolution they have inherited from Marx, Engels, and Lenin. Slogans about the “dictatorship of the proletariat” “smashing the capitalist state” and carrying out a social revolution from the commanding heights of a reconstituted state are completely obsolete. In this article I propose a reconceptualization that accomplishes several purposes: first, it explains the logical and empirical problems with Marx’s classical theory of revolution; second, it revises the classical theory to make it, for the first time, logically consistent with the premises of historical materialism; third, it provides a (Marxist) theoretical grounding for activism in the solidarity economy, and thus partially reconciles Marxism with anarchism; fourth, it accounts for the long-term failure of all attempts at socialist revolution so far.

    Yale University Department of Political Science Syllabus THE PHILOSOPHY, HISTORY, AND SOCIOLOGY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (Seminar) Nuno P. Monteiro Office: Rosenkranz 226, Tuesdays 2:00‐4:00 [email protected] Class: Rosenkranz 202, Tuesdays, 9:20‐11:10 Spring 2010 PLSC 193/671 COURSE OBJECTIVES This seminar explores the philosophical foundations of the study of international relations, as well as the history and sociology of the discipline. We’ll cover the historical development of IR as a professional discipline since the interwar period, going over the main foundational debates that organized the field, and addressing its sociological evolution. By the end of the course, students should have an understanding of the main meta‐theoretical issues in the discipline and thus be able to enlarge their toolkit to critically engage scholarship in IR, political science, and the social sciences more broadly. COURSE OUTLINE The course covers the historical evolution of IR as a professional discipline from the meta‐theoretical perspective. As the field evolves, we’ll look at the development of the philosophical foundations of IR scholarship, covering the main positions in it and addressing the main criticisms of each. Finally, we’ll study the sociology of IR, interrogating the ways in which scholarship is produced and the field is structured and disciplined. REQUIREMENTS, GRADING, AND DEADLINES Basic knowledge of IR theory is a plus. The course will consist in a series of seminar sessions with pre‐assigned readings. Students are expected to do all the readings prior to each session, as well as attend and participate in all sessions.

    SOCIOLOGY 9191A Social Science in the Marxian Tradition Fall 2020 DRAFT Class times and location Wednesday 10:30am -12:30pm Virtual synchronous Instructor: David Calnitsky Office Hours by appointment Department of Sociology Office: SSC 5402 Email: [email protected] Technical Requirements: Stable internet connection Laptop or computer Working microphone Working webcam “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.” – Karl Marx That is the point, it’s true—but not in this course. This quote, indirectly, hints at a deep tension in Marxism. If we want to change the world we need to understand it. But the desire to change something can infect our understanding of it. This is a pervasive dynamic in the history of Marxism and the first step is to admit there is a problem. This means acknowledging the presence of wishful thinking, without letting it induce paralysis. On the other hand, if there are pitfalls in being upfront in your desire to change the world there are also virtues. The normative 1 goal of social change helps to avoid common trappings of academia, in particular, the laser focus on irrelevant questions. Plus, in having a set of value commitments, stated clearly, you avoid the false pretense that values don’t enter in the backdoor in social science, which they often do if you’re paying attention. With this caveat in place, Marxian social science really does have a lot to offer in understanding the world and that’s what we’ll analyze in this course. The goal is to look at the different hypotheses that broadly emerge out of the Marxian tradition and see the extent to which they can be supported both theoretically and empirically.
