Russian Revolutionary Theory
This seminar will deal with the period of
revolutionary upheaval in Russia beginning in the
mid-19th century and ending at Kronstadt in 1921
To be examined are three specifically basic con
tributions to revolutionary thought — populism,
anarchism and Russian socialism.
The hope is that students will become
acquainted with dissident strains of thought from
Russia which contribute to an overall un
derstanding of political theory. Primary sources
will be read in translation, including writings of
Venturi, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Trotsky, Lenin,
Emma Golman and others.
Course requirements will consist of a research
paper for both graduates and undergraduates, with
an oral presentation of research findings for
graduate students only. While reading knowledge of
Russian is not required, it is suggested that you
consult the instructor early in the quarter in order
to select a research subject suited to the available
sources.

Politics of Divided Nations
Korea, Germany, Vietnam and Ireland are
divided nations wherein two sometimes harshly
competing regimes have been established in once
unified nations. Each participant will define and
carry out a seminar project stressing the com
parative analysis of divided nations or their foreign
relations. Although other areas will receive con
sideration, much emphasis will be placed on the
case of Germany.
Students with special backgrounds (e.g.,
language training) and interests (e.g., European
history) can be accommodated within the
framework of the seminar. Individual projects will
be required and students should be prepared to do a
great deal of writing and research.

Fiction and politics
PS 47HG
Political Fiction
This is a course dealing with the political implications of some
great fiction writing. All the works probe well into the core of
problems of political morality.
Students are encouraged to build into their own psyches and
develop their own sense of responsibility for their actions in the
political turns of our time. The fundamental variable is the person
taking the class whose task it will be to understand such fundamental
problems as unconstitutionally, immorality, and to distinguish these
from the trivial aspects. Discussion sections of from 6 to 10 people will
meet once a week, in which the opportunity will exist to speculate
freely upon the fiction and its relation to polical awareness.
Enrollment limit is 65.

Science Fiction and Public Policy
For students interested in relating science fiction to life on earth,
Peter Schneider of the political science department has an answer in
the form of a three-credit course called Science Fiction and Public
Policy.
Schneider, a newcomer to the faculty, decided to offer the course
this term out of a personal fascination with science fiction.
The course, which will be offered at 2:30 MWF, proceeds from the
assumption that science fiction is relevant to important public policy
issues that societies face now or may face in the future. Students will
examine the theme and content of a variety of socio-political science
fiction stories and the possible impact of the literature of a whole from
the perspective of decision-makers or concerned citizens.
Schneider specifically designed the course for undergraduates
and plans to use five paperback texts: “Player Piano” by Kurt
Vonnegut, “Childhood’s End” by Arthur C. Clarke, Brunner’s “Stand
on Zanzibar, “The Space Merchants” by Pohl and Kornbluth
(“multinational corporations gone wild” according to Schneider) and
an anthology of stories by Merrick and Greenberg called "Politican
Science Fiction.”
There is no enrollment limit for the class.
