Extractions: Focusing on the cultural and social formations of Anglo-Americans, Native Americans, and Mexican Americans in a dynamic contact zone (i.e., The "New" World), this course also explores the continuities and discontinuities in popular and academic representations of the "American" experience and mission from the disciplinary perspectives of American and Cultural Studies, History, Geography, Sociology, and Political Science. Our analysis of the "the business of America" as a discursive formation, a constellation of metaphors and symbols surrounding the phenomenon and experience of life in the industrial and post-industrial 20th century United States (America=U$), includes a study of the public policy, ethno-history, literary productions, and the filmic responses of diverse "American" cultures in transition. INTELLECTUAL AND CONCEPTUAL AIMS The course aims to introduce students to the interrelationship between diverse American populations, cultural traditions, institutions, resources, and economic agents during the process of North American economic development and integration from 1776 to the present within the context of the U.S. polity. A thematic approach is adopted to explain the "Business of America," the principal focus being the influences that shaped the development of social institutions, social identity, and business enterprises at various periods in American social, cultural, and economic history. Concomitantly, we also consider the effects of the growth of big business, of big monopoly capital, of big labor, and in the mobility of other factors of production on the evolving nature of capitalist production and distribution that have led to the ascendancy of the U.S. as "global hegemon."

LII: Law About...Critical Legal Studies Critical legal studies (CLS) is a theory that challenges Although CLS has been largelya us movement, it of legal thought that flourished in the 1920s and 1930s http://www.law.cornell.edu/topics/critical_theory.html
Extractions: CLS was officially started in 1977 at the conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but its roots extend back to 1960 when many of its founding members participated in social activism surrounding the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. Many CLS scholars entered law school in those years and began to apply the ideas, theories, and philosophies of post modernity (intellectual movements of the last half of the twentieth century) to the study of law. They borrowed from such diverse fields as social theory, political philosophy, economics, and literary theory. Since then CLS has steadily grown in influence and permanently changed the landscape of legal theory. Among noted CLS theorists are Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Robert W. Gordon, Morton J. Horwitz, Duncun Kenney, and Katharine A. MacKinnon. Although CLS has been largely a U.S. movement, it was influenced to the great extent by European philosophers, such as nineteenth-century German social theorists Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Max Weber; Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse of the Frankfurt school of German social philosophy; the Italian marxist Antonio Gramsci; and poststructuralist French thinkers Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, representing respectively the fields of history and literary theory. CLS has borrowed heavily from

Extractions: British Cultural Studies, or the Birmingham School (named for its founding University of Birmingham (UK) Centre for Cultural Studies ) is a broad-ranging interdisciplinary approach that has existed for several decades, running more or less parallel to AS, fulfilling some of its functions but differing in significant ways. The school has made major contributions to literary and historical theory, the ethnography of urban sub-cultures, popular culture and media studies, women's studies, and to ethnic studies, among other areas. In its current incarnation, it is perhaps best represented by Stuart Hall who combines theoretical models and insights drawn from marxism, post-structuralism, critical race theory and feminism with tools drawn from the disciplines of sociology, history, ethnography, and media studies. Hall also follows the school's tradition of aiming his scholarship as directly as possible into current arenas of political contestation. Through the work of people like Hall, Raymond Williams, Dick Hebdige, Angela McRobbie, and others, British Cultural Studies has long influenced individual AS scholars.

Extractions: Today is University of Wyoming The Graduate Program The American Studies Program at the University of Wyoming serves as an interdisciplinary location for the discussion of American culture by faculty, students and the public. The program, which offers an MA in American Studies, was founded in the early 1950s through a bequest from William Robertson Coe and has always specialized in graduate education. We are especially committed to interaction with the culture surrounding us and arranging ethnographic projects, practical experiences, and internships so that students communicate with the community. The Setting The University of Wyoming sits on the high plains (elevation 7,200 feet) between the Laramie and Medicine Bow Mountains in southeastern Wyoming. The semi-arid Laramie Basin offers a unique environment: 330 sunny days a year, cool summers, and moderate snow in winter. The town of Laramie is surrounded by the Medicine Bow National Forest, and the nearby Snowy Range Mountains offer hiking, camping, and skiing possibilities in a wilderness enviroment. With a population of about 27,000, Laramie has the advantages of a small town combined with rich cultural and historical resources. The University sponsors an excellent cultural programs series, a notable film festival, and regular lectures by nationally and internationally known schollars.
