Cultural Studies Sections I & II SS. 330.01 & .02 Syllabus Slides		Marx, Darwin, Nietzsche, Freud: Value, Transvaluation and Society SS. 490.05 Syllabus Slides for 1st Darwin session
________________		Internet Sources for Course ________________ Karl Marx Marx-Engels Internet Archive & The Marxist Internet Archive See especially the works of Rosa Luxemberg , Professor of Economics, author of the first sustained critique of Marx's Capital in her Accumulation of Capital, and leader of the Spartacus rebellion; and I. I. Rubin, Professor of Economic History, whose view that Marx presented a theory and critique of culture ---and not a science of society--- earned him a death in the Gulag. A reading of these will provide a foundation as well to understanding the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School. Many of the tranalations of Marx date from the Soviet era, and although sometimes the differences can be subtle, the effect of the politics of the era on the translations could itself be the subject of a course. We will use the Penguin Classics translation, which is considered more up to date. Genealogical Sources for the Study of Karl Marx (unfinished fragment) Bibliography on Karl Marx and Marxism from Stanley Aronowitz's course: "Marx," CUNY Graduate Center, 1996. ________________ Charles Darwin Cambridge University Darwin Project Darwin Correspondence Project Voyage of the Beagle in Blog format ____________________ American Museum of Natural History: Darwin Digital Library of Evolution American Museum of Natural History: Darwin Exhibition New York Botanical Garden Biodiversity Heritage Library Darwin's Home: Downe House Census of Marine Life Tree of Life Project Maps of Ancient Earth It is important to remember that the Earth has not always looked as it does today. ________________ Friedrich Nietzsche The Nietzsche Channel Friedrich Nietzsche Society There are a number of tranlations of Nietzsche online, but we will use the standard translations by Walter Kaufmann.
