Lecture 3: The State

In this lecture we break down the category of "the state," by examining its boundaries, its limits, its capacities. We add Habermas’ concept of the “public sphere” to our toolbox and discuss the place of the arts in relationship to the state, using historical examples from the Russian and Habsburg Empires and the Soviet Union. We also practicing using our tools to analyze primary sources.
