1 DEMOCRATIC THEORY POLI 7991 Dustin Howes 9:00am-11:50pm Wednesday Professor Dustin Howes Office Hours in 219 Stubbs Wednesday 1:00pm-3:00pm Monday 4:30pm-5:00pm or by appointment. Course Description The Pnyx, Athens This course examines some of the most influential texts in democratic theory, with a slight emphasis on the relationship between freedom and violence and texts not covered by other graduate level political theory courses at LSU. The purpose of the course is to acquaint you with primary texts, which provide a jumping off point for your own ideas and research. While the complexity of some of the texts requires us to spend significant time grappling with the meaning and importance of the course materials, a high premium will be placed on creativity and the application of theory to practical problems. Course Requirements 2 Presentations/Précis Each week, one or two students will share their thoughts about the readings and the recommended readings for 10 to 20 minutes. Discuss things that provoked you, examine arguments that troubled you and raise questions that occurred to you. Along with the presentation, each presenter will write a one-page précis (no more than two pages), which encapsulates the most important themes in the book and distribute copies of it to all of the students in the class. If there is more than one book or reading, you may write a précis for each. One way to think of the précis is as a slightly longer version of what one might write on the back cover of the book if you were a translator or editor of the text. You should describe the significance and main arguments of the text. However, also be sure to note in parenthesis after each sentence the sections or chapters of the book to which your claims about the text refer. Do not read your précis during the oral presentation. You must speak extemporaneously to the class. Your presentation and précis will be graded as excellent ( +), adequate ( ) or inadequate ( ). 2 Papers You will also write two papers for the course. Each paper must examine at least one thinker and text from the first half (first paper) and second half (second paper) of the syllabus. You are 1
2 welcome to examine more than one text and if you choose to write about only one thinker or text you must also engage with the recommended reading or other secondary sources examining that text. I will distribute prompts a week before each paper is due. You can also write on topics of your own choosing but both papers must relate to core issues for democracy. The final paper can serve as a trial run for a journal length article. Papers should be single-spaced, in Times 12-point font. Papers should be ed to the instructor by the time and date on the syllabus. Late papers are deducted a full letter grade. Participation Your participation grade will be based on my sense of your overall engagement with the course materials and the quality of your effort in the class. This includes participation in class discussion but can also include coming to office hours or questions and thoughts shared over .
