SOCI 010T. 1968 and the Origins of New Left: Social Theory, War and Student Revolt

The course begins with an ending, the Treaty of Versailles, and the failed socialist revolutions in Germany (1919) and Italy (1920-21) and the subsequent recasting of Marxist theory evident in the writings of Gramsci, Marcuse and eventually Habermas, thinkers who stimulate the rise of the New Left of the 1960s. 1968 symbolizes the massive changes of an era, the Paris student/worker revolt, the Prague Spring, the Chicago Democratic Convention, Vietnam and the Tet Offensive, and the flowering of youth culture and the New Left. Thus, events and social theory form the nucleus of thought and investigation for a course with a year, 1968, as its descriptive title.
