530 War and Peace: Conflict and Human Nature
The seminar will provide insights into our complex attitudes toward war and peace as we consider such topics as heroic warfare in the Classical Age; patriotism and the warrior king; World War I in literature, history, and film; gender and war; genocide; the "banality of evil"; the contemporary "humor of despair"; and theories of conflict resolution.
