1 Political Theory in Popular Culture POSC 3421 The Marvel Universe has provided the basis for several of the most popular movies of the past decade, including the X-Men and Avengers series. Are these movies teaching liberalism, conservatism, socialism, anarchism, fascism, multiculturalism, or something else entirely? This course combines the study of political ideologies and cultural critique. An Advanced Social Science course Professor Nicholas Tampio Summer Session II 2015 MTWTH 6-9 pm, Keating 114 Required reading Andrew Heywood, Political Ideologies: An Introduction, 5 th Edition (Palgrave 2012) Grading Midterm 20 Final exam 30 1
2 Class participation 10 Discussion group 2x5= 10 Research paper 20 Research presentation 10 I will place each student in a discussion group. Each group will be responsible for giving a 20 minute Powerpoint presentation on the assigned article, including summarizing its argument, offering responses, and posing questions to the rest of the class. The group will then lead discussion. Each student will write and present a 8-10 page research paper on a Marvel movie. Make 5 subsections: the introduction, three sections that consider how the movie could express a certain ideology, and a conclusion on what you think is the political teaching of the movie. Cite at least 5 movie reviews. The IMDB, Metacritic, and Rotten Tomato websites all have links to movie reviews. I personally like the reviews in The New York Times, New Yorker, Salon, Village Voice, and Film Comment. Cite definitions and key ideas from Heywood s Political Ideologies. Course schedule 1.
