As the woman who introduced me to the great Dexter Morgan, of course you are perfectly welcome to use whatever you like on this front. I've been the recipient of more than one very helpful syllabus, and I've always thought that this is one of the great spaces of collaboration within the discipline.

Your comments on using real TRC interviews strikes me as very good, but I only really know the literature on South Africa. (Country of My Skull has some pretty harrowing perpetrator testimony, for instance.) Can you recommend anything from the various Latin American truth commissions?

One thing that motivates me here is the distinction between agent-attributions and spectator-attributions of responsibility, so I'd want to find some space for more analytic ethics as well. (Bernard Williams, specifically.) Then there's the issue of designing assignments.

Some other possible things to include:

– the Showtime series "Dexter" (the very model of a modern major antihero, in my book)

– any or all of Michael Moore's films

– George Schuyler's Black No More

– Errol Morris' "The Fog of War" (a great depiction of a villain's recognition of his own villainy, perhaps?)

– testimonies of "perpetrators" in the reports of various truth commissions

I'm unabashedly self-interested in your project, since our "Intro to Philosophy" class is always topic-oriented. I would love to steal this idea for my Intro class the next time my turn to teach it comes around.
