This course
explores definitions, concepts, and theories used to explain and
understand central features of institutional power and the dialectic
of liberty and domination. We study the structure and history of
selected systems of control in modern western society and relate
these systems to larger social arrangements. Themes covered include
legitimate and illegitimate uses of authority; legal and extralegal
management and disciplining of individuals, racialized and gendered
groups, and social classes; and the mechanics of coercive and
consensual controls.
