Question: Audre Lorde contends that “master’s tools will never dismantle master’s house” in order to emphasize the need for an overall alteration of “old structures of oppression.” Can the structures that oppress the “other” be altered with a critique using the tools available in the exist ing system/relations of power? Why or why not? Discuss with reference to the theories of Machiavelli and/or Aristotle. 1) Your paper MUST have an introduction with a thesis statement that provides a clear, complete, and direct answer to the question. 2) To answer this question you may either choose one of the thinkers, or you may write a paper comparing the two. You must explain HOW the thinker engages with the “other,” and whether their theories provide the tools for a systemic criticism and an alterat ion of the relationships between self and other . You must engage into a discussion of what these “ tools , ” that reinforce the system or provide points of resistance. 3) You may choose to discuss a feminist critique of either thinker as it relates to this question, in which case you would need to articulate HOW/WHY the critique you discuss is important for answering the question. What insights does this critique offer for thinking about the systemic criticism of self/other relationship ? Why do you find this critique convincing or not? How does the method of the critique supports/challenges your central claim. 4) Your paper will be evaluated by the following criteri a: clarity and thoughtfulness of the central argument (including a clear thesis statement in the introduction); the organization of your paper as a defense of your thesis; the depth of engagement with the course r eadings ; and basic writing mechanics (gramm ar, punctuation, avoidance of sentence fragments and run – ons).

Based on one of the questions below, write a 5-6 page essay (typed, double-spaced). You may draw on all available materials for this class but the focus should be on the primary texts in question. No outside reading is necessary or expected. If you would like to write a paper on another topic or another question, please contact me about this at least one week in advance so that we can discuss alternative topics/questions. All essays should be concise, tightly argued, and to the point. They should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the text(s) and the relevant contexts. Use proper grammar, punctuation, and style. Avoid lengthy quotations from the texts, but do not stray into vague generalities.

Please number your pages. You do not need to include a title page. 2. Dostoevsky’s novel The Possessed/Demons (1872), which we read in the dramatization by Albert Camus, was based on the so-called Nechaev Affair of 1869, in which Sergey Nechaev, the leader of a revolutionary cell at the University of Moscow, killed or had killed a member of the cell named Ivanov after he attempted to leave it. Ivanov’s body was dumped in a hole in the ice (this was late November in Moscow!) but it was soon found. In the ensuing police reaction, many of Nechaev’s followers were arrested while Nechaev himself slipped across the border to Switzerland. Based on the evidence in The Possessed, how does Dostoevsky understand the origin, nature, and adherents (leaders and followers) of Nechaev’s form of revolutionary violence? What does he see as the role of “nihilism” in it? Given other things we have read, what are the strengths and limitations of Dostoevsky’s approach to understanding terrorist violence in this era? NOTE: you will want to consult the pieces by Bakunin and Nechaev in Voices of Terror, as well as the essays by Verhoeven and Miller. (please do #2
