RELG 001C. Religion and Terror in an Age of Hope and Fear
Religion kills: this is the verdict against religion since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. Since that time, here and abroad, the United States views many forms of religion as potent security threats. Various forms of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, in particular, are seen as direct challenges to the secular ethos and global mission of late capitalist societies. This team-taught course in religion, politics, and culture, will offer a counter-narrative to the argument that religion and violence are equivalent terms using the resources of postcolonial theory, critical race theory, sustainability economics, liberation theology, and psychoanalytic theory.
