Alternate history assumes a different form in Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Calculating Stars (2018), which won the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus awards for best novel. Kowal’s narrative of the first Lady Astronaut reimagines a space program in which women earn an important place in a nation devastated by a meteor strike. Naomi Alderman’s The Power (2017) shows a world turned upside down when women acquire the electrifying power. The classic adventure form of space opera moves into new dimensions with the brilliant character studies in Becky Chambers’s The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (2015), the first volume in the Wayfarers series which recently won the Hugo award for best series. These four novels exemplify the ways in which recent works of speculative fiction have engaged the most pressing issues of our time in a variety of imaginative ways. October 9, 2020: Justina Ireland, Dread Nation (zombie pandemic, slavery and racism). October 23, 2020: Mary Robinette Kowal, The Calculating Stars (an alternate history featuring the first lady astronaut). November 6, 2020: Naomi Alderman, The Power: (the most intriguing feminist s/f novel of our time). November 20, 2020: Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (space opera redefined). Time: 10:00-11:30 am Dates: October 9, 23, November 6, 20, 2020 Alfred Bendixen received his Ph.D. in 1979 from the University of North Carolina and taught at Barnard College, California State University, Los Angeles, and Texas A&M University before joining the Princeton faculty in 2014. Much of his scholarship has been devoted to the recovery of 19th-century texts, particularly by women writers, and to the exploration of neglected genres, including the ghost story, detective fiction, science fiction, and travel writing. His teaching interests include the entire range of American literature as well as courses in science fiction, graphic narrative, and gender studies. Professor Bendixen may be best known as the founder of the American Literature Association, the most important scholarly organization in his field, which he continues to serve as Executive Director and as a frequent director of its national conferences. ASC 200 – Behind the Scenes, Beyond the Script Professor: Debbie Bisno, Resident Producer, McCarter Theater Description: Join us for a Lunch and Learn! What does it mean to be an artist or a theatrical producer in a COVID world? Peek into the lives and careers of established and award winning theater professionals amidst the backdrop of halted productions, commissions-in-progress, rehearsals relegated to ZOOM, and suspended Broadway shows. Live performance is in limbo, and the entertainment industry is facing its greatest challenge – pivoting and reinventing how to create and deliver content, and how to connect with an audience. Grab your lunch and dive into a conversation about theatrical work and the performing arts in this moment – what’s happening in the world of “virtual performance” from the artists’ and the critics’ POV, and what the future holds for creative professionals in both the non-profit and commercial sectors. You’ll have an opportunity to read a play script, hear music demos composed in quarantine, view a theatrical budget/or Broadway Tour schedule, explore virtual performance/experimentation, and engage with a range of special guests & established artists and industry leaders working in stage & film (ie. an actor, director, designer, playwright, composer, agent, Broadway & West End/London producer, a journalist.) Bring your lunch! The artists will too! Time: 1:00-2:30 pm Dates: October 2, 16, 30, and November 13, 2020 Debbie Bisno (Resident Producer) joined McCarter in 2016. Her experience spans Broadway, Off-Broadway, West End, regional and nonprofit theater. Broadway highlights include the 2019 revival of Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune starring Audra McDonald and Michael Shannon. Other Broadway: Grace, War Horse, HAIR, Merchant of Venice, Annie, Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Off-Broadway and London: Ingmar Bergman’s Through a Glass Darkly starring Carey Mulligan, Passion Play, and Merrily We Roll Along. Debbie was Founder and Producing Artistic Director of Chicago’s Roadworks Productions with residencies at Steppenwolf and Victory Gardens theaters, producing over 20 Midwest and World Premieres by playwrights including Mike Leigh, Kenneth Lonergan, Chuck Mee, Eric Bogosian, Phyllis Nagy, and more. She’s an Advisory Member of NYC’s Playwrights Realm and on the Board of FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics.) Debbie lives in Princeton with her husband David and their Portuguese Water Dog, Bernice. AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES African American History Since Emancipation AAS 367 Professor: Guild, Joshua B. Description: This lecture offers an introduction to the major themes, critical questions, and pivotal moments in post-emancipation African American history. It traces the social, political, cultural, intellectual, and legal contours of the black experience in the United States from Reconstruction to the rise of Jim Crow, through the World Wars, Depression, and the Great Migrations, to the long civil rights era and the contemporary period of racial politics. Using a wide variety of texts, images, and creative works, the course situates African American history within broader national and international contexts. Schedule: 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM T TH PROGRAM IN AMERICAN STUDIES America Then and Now AMS 101 Professor: Fernández-Kelly, Patricia, Gleason, William Albert, Valenzuela, Ali Adam Description: An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of American Studies. Employing history, theater, law, and politics, and focusing on such critical concepts as "community," "xenophobia," and "race," we will consider the structures of knowing and feeling that have formed America since its founding. Throughout the course, we will pay special attention to the ways that culture and difference have shaped, and continue to shape, the signature ideas and debates that have made the nation what it is today. In Fall 2020, we will be particularly interested in the political, social, and cultural questions that inform the current U.S. presidential election. Schedule: 01:30 PM - 02:50 PM M ARCHITECTURE Introduction to Architectural Thinking ARC 203 Professor: Allen, Stanley T. Description: The objective of this course is to provide a broad overview of the discipline of architecture: its history, theories, methodologies; its manners of thinking and working. Rather than a chronological survey, the course will be organized thematically, with examples drawn from a range of historical periods as well as contemporary practice. Through lectures, readings, and discussions every student will acquire a working knowledge of key texts, buildings and architectural concepts. Other Information: Architectural thinking will be explored thematically by focusing upon a series of significant debates (historical and contemporary) about tectonics, program, representation, and urbanism. Debates will include history versus utopia, handcrafted versus machine made, generic versus iconic, form versus program, drawing versus scripting, and image versus surface, among others. Schedule: 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM T TH ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY Intro to History of Art: Visual Arts ART 100 Professor: Kitzinger, Beatrice Ellen Description: Introduction to the history of art and to the discipline of art history.

The Significance and Shortcomings of Karl Marx Abstract In this essay I explain both why Karl Marx remains an important thinker and why he is in some respects inadequate. I focus on the central issue of 'materialism vs. idealism,' and briefly explore ways in which contemporary intellectuals still haven't assimilated the insights of historical materialism. In the last section of the paper I examine the greatest weakness of Marxism, its theory of proletarian revolution, and propose an alternative conceptualization that both updates the theory for the twenty-first century and is more faithful to historical materialism than Marx's own conception was.

PUB DATE Jan 83 NOTE 38p.; Paper presented at the Sociology of Education Conference (Birmingham, England, January 3-5, 1983). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (120) -- Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Comparative Analysis; Comparative Education; *Economic Change; Educational Objectives; Educational Practices; *Educational Sociology; Elementary Secondary Education; Government School Relationship; *School Role; *Social Change IDENTIFIERS Correspondence Theory; *Great Britain; Marxism; *Relative Autonomy Theory; United States ABSTRACT The British school system has relative autonomy, and therefore, could be,potentially transformative--used to change existing economic and social relations. The correspondence thesis, which states that the schobls perpetuate existing capitalist economic and social' relations and'serve as agents of reproduction, was the dominant paradigm of the last decade within the British sociology of education. This thesis has been bitterly contested', and, in recent years, substantially modified. Four developments within British social science over the last decade suggest a form of relative autonomy that grants considerable freedom to the educational system within British society to act either in a reproductive or tráns+formative fashion. The four developments are: (1) the lack of fit between what the educational system produces and the needs of the British economic structure, (2) recent findings in social policy studies, (3) the partial penetration of capitalism in Britain, and (4) the independence of the school. The relative autonomy theory may be a helpful method by which Marxists may cope with the empirical reality of the British educational system/economy relationship.

  • 1 Globalisation and Economic Determinism Luke Martell Abstract
    Paper given at Global Studies Association conference, Challenging Globalization, Royal Holloway, London, September 2009 Globalisation and Economic Determinism Luke Martell Abstract There has been a reaction against economic determinist explanations of globalisation. This paper takes anti-economistic arguments in globalisation studies and argues that they unwittingly show the importance of the economy, or fail to undermine the importance of economic determinants in globalisation. The paper looks at meanings that economic determinism in globalisation studies is given and argues that economic determination is more complex than it is made out to be. It is politically important not to dismiss economic causality as out of date, reductionist or too determinist because structures of power and inequality in globalisation come from the economy. If the determinant role of the economy is pushed out then globalisation is made to look more benign, equal and democratic than it is and its darker sides are concealed. This paper argues that criticisms of economic determinism in globalisation studies are wrong to reduce the role of economics, and that economics plays a big role in globalisation. I am focusing on criticisms within the sociology of globalisation. The arguments here may be more applicable to British and European sociology than to sociology in other countries. In the USA, for example, a political economy approach within the sociology of globalisation is more common (see, for instance, Sassen, 2007, 2008). In the UK and other European countries it is more likely to be seen as out of date and crude. Nevertheless, my discussion does not apply only to sociology or the UK or Europe.

    DjalectiCalAflthropologY 1(1975) 7 — 2 3 © Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company, Amsterdam — Printed in The Netherlands MODE OF PRODUCTION AND MODE OF EXPLOITATION: THE MECHANICAL AND THE DIALECTICAL' Eugene E. Ruyle In the social production of their life, men enter into definite relations that are indispensable and independent of their will, relations of production which correspond to a definite stage of development of their material produc- tive forces. The sum total of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which rises a legal and political superstruc- ture and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the social, political and intellectual life process in general. It is not the consciousness of men that deter- mines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.2 The specific economic form, in which unpaid surplus labor is pumped out of the direct producers, determines the relation of rulers and ruled, as it grows immediately out of production itself and in turn reacts upon it as a determining agent. .. It is always the direct relation of the owners of the means of production to the direct producers which reveals the innermost secret, the hidden foundation of the entire social structure.3 In the first of these two passages, Marx in crypto-Marxist bourgeois social science, and appears to be arguing for the sort of techno- then by exploring the possibilities of supple- economic determinism which has become menting the "mode of production" approach increasingly fashionable in bourgeois social with a "mode of exploitation" analysis.

He was not only a thinker involved in the revision and development of Marxism, who wrote in several socialist and communist Italian journals, but also a politically active militant. The fascist government of Benito Mussolini imprisoned him between 1926 and 1937. May 06, 2020 Gramsci’s political activities were not only related to his publications. His actions as a politician, activist, and intellectual were consistent with his ideas. He believed that the proletariat More from The Public Historian needed “organic” intellectuals (described below) to become a hegemonic class, and during his lifetime, he himself assumed BOOKS such a role. As a member of the Socialist Party and, later, the Communist Party, he wrote in several journals seeking to reach a wide audience and indoctrinate it in the basic ideas and principles of the proletariat and social struggle. While incarcerated, and away from mass media, he wrote his most America for Americans: A History of celebrated and influential theoretical contributions to Marxist theory.
