2 One of the hallmarks of our contemporary commonsense is that everything we do in our everyday life is political the food we eat, the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, the poetry we read. Yet, we also continue to view certain people (i.e. elected officials, street protestors) and certain practices (ie voting and throwing rocks at police) as properly the domain of politics. Further still, dominant western conceptions of politics assert that only certain kinds of cultures can produce democracy, for example one that is modern, westernized and secular. Each of these assertions assume a relationship between something called culture and something called politics fundamental concepts within a range of disciplines and theories that seek to understand how societies reproduce and are transformed. This interdisciplinary seminar will examine the following questions: What is culture and how has it been defined in different texts and disciplines? What is politics and how has it been defined in a range of texts and disciplines? How and why have scholars and activists sought to put the cultural and the political in some dynamic relationship to each other? The seminar will not only include a range of texts across disciplines but will enact an interdisciplinary perspective by having four instructors from a range of disciplines (anthropology, political theory, cultural studies/sociology/media studies, and literary studies). COURSE OBJECTIVES 1) Introduce students to key concepts (culture, politics) and seminal, classic texts across a range of disciplines and fields of inquiry. 2) Introduce students to interdisciplinary modes of inquiry and help them to understand how one goes about producing interdisciplinary thinking and writing. 3) Develop critical and analytical skills through close reading of texts and writing. REQUIRED TEXTS Reading materials will be available through NYU Classes under resources. For class reference purposes only -- do not copy or distribute. COURSE PROCEDURES AND ASSIGNMENTS This course follows a lecture/seminar format. Therefore, punctuality, regular attendance and participation are important for this class to work well. Arrival in a timely way and regular attendance is a requirement. If, due to illness or other emergency, you must miss class, please let your section instructor know via . MISSING MORE THAN ONE CLASS WILL JEOPARDIZE YOUR GRADE. Three papers are due during the semester (each one should be 5-8pages in length, double-spaced). These are short, analytical papers for which you will be given prompts. Your papers will be graded by your section instructor. If you get a B- or less, you have the opportunity to re-write your paper within two weeks of when the paper was due.

3 No laptops, ipads, phones are allowed in class. Plagiarism is an increasingly important and difficult issue in college teaching that we take it very seriously.
