RS 300W - Living Myths: War and PeaceUnits: 3
Examines how the nation’s “sacred stories” have developed in the context of war mobilization and anti-war movements, with special attention to the experience of diverse, often marginalized and embattled, populations. Organized according to America’s war eras, beginning with early colonialism and extending to the present. Foundational mythic themes - such as American exceptionalism, self-evident truths, and moral communities (e.g. “We the People), manifest destiny, and the frontier - are traced into modern experience, highlighting the development of the nation’s mythos through changing historical times.
