Write an essay that answers one of the following questions. Your essay should be printed and SINGLE SPACED (so it is easier to grade) and about three to five pages long. Quality is more important than length, but these are difficult ideas and you may need to use the full five pages to adequately answer the questions.
Please use a simple header with your name, the date, and the course name on the top of the first page. Preferred format: Times New Roman, 12 font, one-inch margins on all sides.
A good answer will cite relevant course materials (lecture, readings, discussion, presentations) and outside research if needed, and will focus for the most part on ideas/material covered in the second half of the course (since the midterm).
Feel free to quote course texts to make your points. Use simple in-text citations where appropriate (e.g. Brecht, Measures Taken, p. 6; or Foucault, History of Sexuality, p. 154).
Do not plagiarize or engage in acts of academic dishonesty as you complete the exam. Anyone who violates the rules of academic integrity will face the full consequences as defined under university codes.
Answer one of the following questions:
1. Over the course of the twentieth century, European intellectuals appropriated, revised, and challenged the legacies and ideas of Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. Which intellectuals, or bodies of thought, offered the most interesting (or most successful) revision of their legacy? Your answer should review at least three different intellectuals and/or sets of ideas.
2. In their attempts to disrupt or transform, or revolutionize mainstream society and philosphy, many of the thinkers and cultural producers weve studied since the midterm have challenged conventional understandings of language as a transparent source of meaning and stability. Which intellectuals, or bodies of thought, offered the most interesting (or most successful) critiques of language? Your answer should review at least three different intellectuals and/or sets of ideas.
Note: this is not a question about how intellectuals used language (though this may be a part of your answer), but rather a question about how intellectuals understood and critiqued language itself as a system of meaning.
