There have been popular social scientific theories at least since the early nineteenth century, when the craze spread for interpreting individuals’ character from the bumps on their heads. But popular social science is really a twentieth-century phenomenon, growing especially after World War I, involving dissemination of versions of thought in psychology, anthropology and economics to popular audiences. This course explores what happened to social scientific schemes as they moved from academia to popular culture—and back again. We will study both academic works, such as G. Stanley Hall’s Adolescence (1907) and Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), aimed at both an academic and a popular audience and designed to test Hall’s theories through anthropological research; we will consider the role as a public intellectual that Mead developed after publishing this book, as well as the controversy surrounding it that continues to this day. We will emphasize analyses of such features of everyday life as childrearing and marriage. For examples, we will read selections from popular manuals as John Watson’s Psychological Care of Infant and Child (1928) and Benjamin Spock’s The Commonsense Book of Baby and Childcare (1945), as well as from the columns published in the Ladies’ Home Journal since 1953 under the heading “Can This Marriage Be Saved?” There will be no exams. You will display the knowledge you have acquired in the course in your essays. Written assignments will include: A paper on the life history of a book that appealed to both scholarly and popular audiences—often for very different reasons. You can plot its life history by consulting reviews and articles referring to it. You will almost certainly need the assistance of a reference librarian; I recommend consulting David Azzolina. Examples of such books are: Ruth Benedict, Patterns of Culture (1934); William H. Whyte, The Organization Man (1956); Stephen Jay Gould, The Mismeasure of Man (1981); Robert D. Putnam, Bowling Alone (2001). A paper on a human behavioral phenomenon that captured the popular imagination—whether or not it appeared in large frequency among the population. Some examples are: multiple-personality disorder; “recovered” memory; the “culture of poverty”; and autism. This may be done as a team project. A paper on recent self-help literature, showing continuities and changes with the past. This literature is enormous, and the project must be done in groups. Each group will organize its research around a particular self-help theme, and will present its findings to the class as well as write a collective paper. ˆJ V r ˆ [ ‚ ž Ш ў  K^yŽЉОйцSѓытытытытытытытытытыhЮт>*OJQJhЮтOJQJhЮтB*OJQJphJx…†ˆ  Q R н я№S§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§Sў#0PАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %АЅD@ёџD NormalCJOJQJkH'mH sH tH DA@ђџЁD Default Paragraph FontZi@ѓџГZ  Table Normal :V і4ж l4жaі _H(k@єџС(No List S џџџџS S S rw­ЗU lx№‚ у ф  n U :::џ@€ww И wwYїS 0 @џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџGTimes New Roman5€Symbol3 Arial9Garamond9MNew York"A€а7ЛКF7ЛКFЃV ƒЋƒ ь€+„ЅРxx>dw .
