KNW 2303 - Under the Influence: Discourses of Inebriation, Addiction, and Recovery


Credits: 3

Examines through various disciplinary approaches (historical, literary, sociological, cultural, and media studies) the ways in which mind altering substances have been understood over the expanse of transatlantic and global histories. Uses the varied historical responses to these substances (alcohol, cocaine, opium, designer drugs, pharmaceuticals, etc.) as a means for examining issues of colonization, class formation, gender identity, subjectivity, immigration, religion, consumerism, and social conformity.
