# EPOL 479 Fall 2026: references by week This is an audit of `course.md` and `lecture-1.md` through `lecture-8.md`. It includes identifiable readings, books, articles, films, course resources, and external links. Repeated works are retained when they recur in more than one week. Where the lecture names an author, theory, video, or reading without enough information to identify a particular work, that limitation is recorded instead of silently supplying a guessed title. Local slide images are excluded. The two externally hosted Wikimedia images and the source-only (commented-out) Week 4 reference are included for completeness. ## Course-wide readings - Hayles, N. Katherine. (2017). *Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious*. University of Chicago Press. (`course.md:28-31`) - Hegel, G. W. F. *The Phenomenology of Spirit*, Preface and Introduction. The course page does not identify an edition or translation. (`course.md:32-35`) ## Week 1: Synthesis and course introduction ### Identifiable works and resources - Hegel, G. W. F.

(`lecture-8.md:220-248`) ### Four Week 8 readings named only by author/concept The lecture explicitly calls these “the first four readings this week,” but it does not provide titles, dates, or links.

(`lecture-8.md:141-153`) - Marx, Darwin, and Freud are named as materialist accounts of historical development, without further titles. (`lecture-8.md:189-201`) - N. Katherine Hayles (2024) is cited for the sentence “The truth is that no one really knows how AIs will develop in the coming decades,” but the source does not identify the publication. (`lecture-8.md:220-231`) ## Source limitations worth fixing - The Fall 2026 folder’s eight lecture files are almost entirely copies of the existing `courses/479/` materials; several still carry Fall 2025 CGScholar URLs and `course: "479"` frontmatter. - Weeks 5, 7, and 8 discuss assigned readings without consistently printing the reading list or full citations. - Week 3 dates Petersen and Posner’s original attention-system paper to 1989, while Week 4 assigns the 2012 “20 Years After” update. - Week 8 does not identify any of its four principal contemporary readings beyond author and concept. - Week 4 contains one bibliographic item only inside an HTML comment, so it is present in source but absent from the rendered course page.
