The Political Theory Working Group- "Humor and Totalitarianism"

The Political Theory Working Group is meeting tonight, January 20th from 7:00 to 9:00 PM in Perkins 218. Our theme this month is "Humor and Totalitarianism" and to that end we will be discussing the film The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin and the short play Largo Desolato by Vaclav Havel, with short theory selections from Hannah Arendt and Slavoj Zizek. The film is available at Lilly Library and is streaming on Amazon. Although we will be screening relevant clips during the meeting, we recommend that you watch the film in its entirety in advance.If you plan to attend the meeting, please RSVP to Jackie Kellish at jak64@duke.edu.
