Examines the politics and psychology of terror, terrorism and being
terrorized. We look at these processes from the perspective of the self,
the group and the state; and study the dynamics of power present in all
three levels. We use major feature films to demonstrate the emotional
and political impact of the operation of terror. Students may take
GVPT388A in conjunction with GVPT399A for a total of six credits.
Students may enroll for either three or six credits; if you
enroll for three credits and intend to take the on-campus course, sign up for
GVPT 399A; you may also take the course as an online, three credit
course. If you do that sign up for GVPT 388A. If you choose to take
the course for six credits sign up for both 399A and 388A. For those
taking the course for six credits, 388A covers the second three weeks of the first
summer session. You do an independent project on your own that builds
from the first three-week 399A session. You work with your discussion
leader on a paper topic and that paper will be due at the end of the first
summer session. You do not have to be on campus to do GVPT
388A. For those of you taking the online 388A ONLY, you have the
entire first summer session, through July 11, to complete the above list of
films. If you have any questions feel free to contact Professor Glass at extension
5-4119 or jglass1@umd.edu.
