Week 3: The Congress of Vienna and the Norms of War
“The Theory of the Partisan: A Commentary/Remark on the Concept of the Political”, Michigan State University, 2004. [Pages 1-78] (Amanda)
Ronald Frazer, Unknown social identities: Spanish guerrillas in the Peninsular War, 1808–14 [20 pages]
We will review last weeks Foucault reading to make sure useful concepts are clear.
Then we will discuss the Peninsular War in Spain in which popular uprisings reached previously unseen levels of violence, inspiring Goya’s “Disasters of War” and the attempt at the Congress of Vienna to codify rules and conduct of war.
