Document Summary

How do we know what we know: freud and foucault each offer us an epistemology (different perspectives, for foucault knowledge is historical circulates through discourse, for freud, knowledge is an outcome of our desires, fears and anxieties. Identities are also historical, ie, gay cannot be taken for granted, it is a historical construct made for the changing conditions of the social and discursive world. The more we take ideas, beliefs and identities for granted, the more power they have. Power for foucault is linked to knowledge (not people), which assumes the authority of truth (we are not questioning what we know or think, therefore not likely to protest and resist) We do perform what we believe in. Anything new is going to happen within the field of knowledge. Foucault believed that power works through institutional apparatus and its technologies (techniques): rule, laws, institutions, morality, administrative measures.

Compare and Contrast European and American Financial Crises and Perspectives on Crises

First, consider what you have learned about the financial crisis, politics, institutions, like the Federal Reserve, and the aftermath of the crisis in the United States and Europe (and, of course, in Europe there is a continuing debt crisis). Has your study in this class changed your perspectives on the economic crisis itself, politics or any aspect of recent American history?
