Hammer-philia

Outline Due November 8th
Paper due November 15th


Did the new turn-of-the-century attitudes and behavior call into question the Enlightenment? If so, how so?

The requirement for this paper is that you use at least 3 shards of evidence from our textbook, or the readings online.

Your outline should consist of at least six points. (1) will be an introduction; (2)-(5) will be the pieces of evidence you plan to use; and (6) will be your conclusions (i.e. how did it happen, and your opinions.)

Here are some themes that your paper could engage in, although if you have any other ideas, please let me know:

New Imperialism
Racism and Anti-Semitism
Irrationalism
Nietzsche
Freud
Ethnic Nationalism
Feminism

I am available via email to help you with this, and can make appointments to meet people next Wednesday, November 8th, before class.
