Sylabus

The United States in the 1960s and 1970s: Cultural and Political Aspects Course number: JMB178 Instructor: Doc. PhDr. Francis D. Raška, PhD. Tel.: 732 309561 E-mail: francisraska@gmail.com   Office hours: Tuesdays from 3:30 PM until 4:30 PM and Wednesdays from 2 PM until 3 PM in Office J3079. PURPOSE OF THE COURSE This course aims to help students think critically about the events and overall impact of the ideas of the 1960s and 1970s on the United States. Students should foster and improve their analytical capabilities by questioning what they read rather than accepting the opinions of others at face value. All readings will be sent to students electronically. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES Each student will be awarded a final mark at the end of the semester, which will be determined by three factors:                                                            Class participation 30%                                                            Term paper 50%                                                            Oral examination 20%             Students will be expected to read the assigned materials. Attendance in class and participation in class discussions are required and each student will be required to submit a term paper containing 8 to 10 double-spaced pages at the end of the semester. In order to avoid any problems, I will need to know term paper topics beforehand. During the first weeks of the course, we will agree as a group on the submission dates for the topics and the term papers themselves. If a student repeatedly fails to read the assigned materials and/or does not attend the course regularly, I reserve the right not to accept his/her term paper at the end of the term. This translates into "No work, no credit." Past experience has taught me that, largely on account of other university requirements and responsibilities, students need help with time management and guidance in their work. Therefore, I have decided upon several courses of action. First, I will insist that students let me know how they are getting on with their work throughout the course of the semester. Second, some time will be spent during the first session(s) discussing what is expected in a term paper. Third, all students can expect to be examined orally on the topic of their term paper at the end of the term. Questions asked during individual examination sessions may involve the given term paper topic as well as the research methods employed. The utlilization of others’ ideas must be cited. Failure to cite the words and/or ideas of others constitutes plagiarism. The Faculty of Social Sciences has very severe penalties for plagiarism, including expulsion. I ask each of you to be very careful and make sure that you cite all sources consulted. It is in your interest. Finally, I would like to stress that, in order for the course to be successful, we need to work together as a group of dedicated, mature scholars whose members communicate constructively with one another. Let the festival of learning begin! TEXTS Bailey, Beth and Farber, David (eds.), America in the 70s, Lawrence, KS., 2004. Berkowitz, Edward D., Something happened, New York, 2006. Cowie, Jefferson, Stayin’ Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class, New York, 2010. Hall, Simon, Peace and Freedom: The Civil Rights and Antiwar Movements in the 1960s, Philadelphia, 2006. Isserman, Maurice and Kazin, Michael, America divided: The Civil War of the 1960s, New York, 2008. Klimke, Martin, The Other Alliance: Student Protest in West Germany and the United States in the Global Sixties, Princeton, 2010. Lytle, Mark Hamilton, America’s Uncivil Wars: The Sixties Era from Elvis to the Fall of Richard Nixon, New York, 2006. Monteith, Sharon, American Culture in the 1960s, Edinburgh, 2011. O’Neill, William L., Coming Apart: An Informal History of America in the 1960s, Chicago, 2005. Stanley, Richard T., The Psychedelic Sixties: A Social History of the United States, 1960-1969, Bloomington, 2013. COURSE TOPICS AND ASSIGNED READINGS Perspectives on 1960s "Idealism" Readings:1.     Monteith, Sharon, American Culture in the 1960s, pp. 1-36.2.     Lytle, Mark Hamilton, America’s Uncivil Wars: The Sixties Era from Elvis to the Fall of Richard Nixon, pp. 72-140.3.     Isserman, Maurice and Kazin, Michael, America divided: The Civil War of the 1960s, pp. 1-66. Vietnam and the Anti-War Movement Readings:4.    O’Neill, William L., Coming Apart: An Informal History of America in              the 1960s, pp. 319-354.5.     Hall, Simon, Peace and Freedom: The Civil Rights and Antiwar Movements in the 1960s, pp. 141-166.        Social and Cultural Radicalism in the 1960s Readings:6.      Stanley, Richard T., The Psychedelic Sixties: A Social History of the United States, pp. 65-126.7.      Klimke, Martin, The Other Alliance: Student Protest in West Germany and the United States in the Global Sixties, pp. 10-74.  Unpleasant Hangover: The Early to Mid-1970s Readings:8.      Bailey, Beth and Farber, David (eds.), America in the 70s, pp. 1-28.9.      Berkowitz, Edward D., Something happened, pp. 1-103. Desperate Times: The United States during Jimmy Carter’s Presidency Readings:10.   Berkowitz, Edward D., Something happened, pp. 104-177.11.   Cowie, Jefferson, Stayin’ Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class, pp. 313-369.
