Formerly Sr. Colloquium: Nazism and Stalinism.
This senior colloquium will engage in a comparative study of the politics, society, and cultures of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin. Students will read works on governance, modernization, culture and everyday life, gender and sexuality, wartime encounters, genocide, and historical memory, and will focus on the similarities between the two regimes (the leadership cult, role of the party, mobilization of the masses, and erosion of boundaries between the private and the public) and the differences (the relationship between state and society, dynamics between inclusion and exclusion, and the role of violence in constructing social utopia).
