This course investigates a concept that is very intimately tied to commonplace narratives about the United States: freedom. We will begin with an overview of transnational philosophical conceptions of freedom and self-determination such as those of Mills, Marx, and Schopenhauer. Our overall focus will then turn to how 19th-century Abolitionist and Black Nationalist, Transcendentalist, and Gothic texts explore and represent what it means to be free during the first century or so of North American democracy. Our primary literary texts include writing by Frances Harper, Leonora Sansay, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Rebecca Harding Davis, and Edgar Allen Poe.The course is organized into 4 modules beginning with a brief introductory module followed by three main modules, each of which include an in-person class meeting (dates below), guided asynchronous reading and responding to course material, and an opportunity for individual and small-group zoom discussions. The course culminates in an extended period of supported research toward a final project tailored to students’ individual professional and intellectual goals.
