German 797L: German Social Theory from Marx to Marcuse
Prof. Sara Lennox
This course will explore German tradition of Western
Marxist thought that stretches from Marx, writing in the first half of
the nineteenth century to Herbert Marcuse, whose theory inspired
protesting students in the 1960s and 1970s. After examining the texts
of Marx most important for these German thinkers, we will investigate
Rosa Luxemburg's critique of the Bolshevik Revolution and her arguments
for the necessity of mass democracy and Georg Lukács's attempt
to explain why Western European workers after 1917 didn't follow the
Russian example and choose revolution themselves. We'll then turn to
the Critical Theory of the “ Frankfurt School ” (Theodor
Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Marcuse, and Walter Benjamin (a more peripheral
member)who confronted the task of explaining why European workers not
only failed to oppose fascism decisively but were themselves often
susceptible to its allure. We will analyze the ways in which they which
they integrated ideas of Max Weber, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Sigmund
Freud into Marxism to develop theoretical paradigms explaining how
advanced capitalism could induce citizens of bourgeois democracies to
consent to their own domination. We will also ask how they were able to
ground their own opposition and what alternative models for liberation
they advanced.
The course is premised on the assumption that in some
ways the ideas of these thinkers retain theoretical and political
relevance, but in other ways their thought has been drawn into question
both by subsequent theoretical developments and by changed historical
circumstances. Perhaps we may even conclude that some positions the
theorists take were never theoretically, historically, or practically
legitimate or warranted. In the spirit of Marxist critique, course
meetings will be organized around debates: each class session will
begin with one student presentation that makes the best possible case
for the particular thinker's continued importance and one presentation
that outlines the thinker's limitations. Though class discussions will
focus mainly on close readings of the thinkers' texts, we will also
investigate the rootedness of this thought in particular historical
conditions and the relevance of the thought for praxis today.
Students will be expected to write brief weekly response
papers and a research paper on a topic to be determined in discussion
with the instructor.
Course open to advanced undergraduates by permission of instructor.
