What is Politics? Chomsky's course at U. Arizona

Question

Is there any way to get more information about what happened in this class?

Here's hoping that the University of Arizona set up a stream of his lectures. I would pay $250 to stream his class!

Someone posted the syllabus at least, which lists all the stuff that was read/watched.

Who put Children of Men, Dr Stangelove, and Snowpiercer on the recommended viewing?

Good question, but good taste, whoever chose them (aside from Snowpiercer, which I haven't seen).

Snowpiercer is terrible; children of men is a classic. I haven't seen doctor strange love. Chomsky clearly didn't recommend them though.

Yes, unfortunately, it appears the second course at UA on language (offered later) has not had a syllabus made public however.
