RULES FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY ON MARX: 1. FOUR PAPERS. Each about 10 pages long. They can be on topics of your choice, but they need to show close, careful reading of Marx; they may also involve contextualization of one kind or another. You don't HAVE to go beyond what we are reading, unless the material compels you to do so. I strongly suggest that you find topics that fit with your trajectory/interests in the department. If you are doing a third field in World History, for example, then you might want to develop a couple of the papers on Marx and methods in world history. First paper due at start of Session III. Second paper due at start of Session VI. Third paper due at start of Session X. Final paper due by the end of the semester, HOPEFULLY BEFORE FINALS. BOOKS: EARLY WRITINGS: translated by Livinstone, Penguin 1975ff MARX-ENGELS COLLECTED WORKS V--this is THE SAME as the edition of GERMAN IDEOLOGY that we used in last Fall's HIST 575, just without the footnotes.
