ARTH211: Picasso's Art: Erotics and Politics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course explores the private and public worlds of Pablo Picasso and presumes that his art cannot
be understood without considering both. The course begins with his early work affected by the
anarchist movement in Barcelona and ends with his joining the French Communist Party in 1944.
Students develop a visual familiarity with the most significant works done by Picasso starting from
his youth, continuing through the Rose and Blue Periods, the highly innovative Cubist experiments,
the Neoclassical phase, his Dada and Surrealism involvement, and ending with his monumental Guernica
in 1937. Students are offered a method of critically analyzing his paintings, art historical writing
on them, and their relationships to political and biographical events in his life: the anarchist
movement in Barcelona, WWI, the Spanish Civil War, Picasso's troubled relationships with several
women. We consider how he devises political statements from erotic experience. Conversely, how are
his relationships with women formulated by political and social factors, constituting a "sexual
politics"? How does all this affect the meanings of his art? A major goal is to demythologize
Picasso and to locate his progressive art within patriarchal culture. Thus the course interrogates
the connections between Picasso's art, politics, and sexual politics. No prerequisites.
 
ARTH220: CP Harems Imagined and Real Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
For centuries western observers have been fascinated by the harem, based as it was in slavery and
multiple wives. This course interrogates that cross-cultural fascination, as evidenced in paintings
and prints of the harem made mostly in the 19th-century in England and France. We use poetry,
literature, and travel accounts to understand such imagery, including written works by Victor Hugo,
Lord Byron, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Florence Nightingale. We take a backward look at 18th-century
writers and artists such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Montesquieu, and even Mozart. Some early
20th-century texts are also analyzed: French photographs of North African "harem women" c. 1930 and
a mini-series titled The Harem made for television in the 1990s. The course integrates some
theoretical writing by authors such as Edward Said and Homi Bhabha.

ARTS212: Imagining the Self: Autobiography and Biography in Creative Expression Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
What is the self and how to describe it? In the postmodern age, the self is said to be
nonexistent--elusive at best. Yet the current popularity of memoirs and "tell-all" biographies
attests to an interest and belief in real selves that can be documented and explained. This course
examines works by predominantly 20th-century Western visual artists, photographers, film makers,
musicians, choreographers, and writers of drama, poetry, and fiction in order to explore how artists
have attempted to portray either their own identities or those of others. Students will also compose
their own works using a variety of art forms to explore how creative expression can capture
personality and how each art form offers its own avenue to portraiture.

interdisciplinary exploration of biological, philosophical, and social processes of death and dying.
Some of the questions we will examine include the following: Who or what dies when a body ceases to
function? Is there a limit to how long a person, or any biological organism, lives? What determines
such a limit? What are legal definitions of death in different societies? What are the limits of
human exposure to extreme environments and what can this teach us about human adaptation, whether we
live or die? How do various cultures around the world view death from a biological perspective? What
are the origins of our beliefs about death? How do dying people wish to be treated? What happens to
the body after death? Should we assist people in dying? At the conclusion of the course, the

economic theorizing; and third, as a contemporary example of economic theorizing. From these
foundational works, the essential questions and concepts of political economy are developed.

HIST224: Where is the West: Europe from Ancient Times to the Present Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
How did the cultural and economic backwater that was Europe in late antiquity come to constitute the
core of a "western civilization" that would dominate the world by the end of the 19th century? How
did classical Athens, Renaissance Italy, and Revolutionary France come to signify progress in human
liberation, if women were excluded from progressive developments in all three? Were the Crusades
early examples of western imperialism? How were the bloody religious wars of the 16th-17th centuries
linked to the rise of capitalism, democracy, and tolerance of dissent? Do the French and Russian
Revolutions demonstrate that all attempts to refashion polity, society, and economy are doomed to
end in terror and dictatorship? Was the Nazi Holocaust an aberration in the history of the West, or
one of its quintessential expressions? How is it that Eastern Europe ceased to be part of the West
after World War II, while Japan was welcomed into it? These are among the questions that will be
considered in this exploration of classic and contemporary debates about the nature and historical
significance of Europe from the fifth c. BCE to the present. Against the backdrop of a survey of
European history, students will analyze primary texts and contrasting scholarly treatments of a
series of historical issues crucial for understanding our contemporary world, the place of Europe
within it, and the contested nature of terms such as "western civilization" or "the West."

LATN100: Accelerated Beginning Latin I Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Latin is the language not only of Vergil, Cicero, Horace, Catullus and Tacitus, but also of poets,
historians, scientists, philosophers and theologians through the time of St. Augustine down to the
Middle Ages and on into the Renaissance and beyond. It is the language in which western culture was
transmitted to Western Europe, beside being the source of a large proportion of English vocabulary.
Students with no (or relatively little) previous experience of Latin will acquire a working
knowledge of the language. Latin will be learned as a language spoken and heard in the classroom,
not as abstract rules and paradigms. We will speak, chant, sing and perform skits in Latin, in
addition to reading. Explanations will be given in English, and we will practice translating in
both directions. By the end of the spring continuation of this course, students will be able to
hold their own in conversation and also, with the aid of a dictionary, to read most Latin authors.

repertoire of strategies--voice, irony, metaphor, style--available to creative writers as they
choose a medium in which to express themselves. By looking at selections of contemporary writing in
a variety of genres, the students will deepen their critical abilities as well as sharpen their own
skills as writers. Unlike more advanced workshops, this course is open to all students, and does not
require submission of writing samples.
 
LIT203: Art of Fiction: The Novel Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
According to one contemporary author, all novelists share a single goal, "to create worlds as real
as but other than the world that is." Free to tell us what might happen, what might have happened,
or even what couldn't happen "once upon a time," novelists help us understand the social, political,
intellectual, and emotional frameworks shaping what did happen. This course examines the worlds of
novelists from the 17th to the 20th centuries whose works both embody their individual visions of
what the novel can be and do and offer examples of a range of novelistic forms, such as the romance
and anti-romance, the Gothic, science fiction, realism, naturalism, impressionism, surrealism, and
stream of consciousness. Most recently, students read novels and novellas by Cervantes, Fielding,
Austen, Mary Shelley, Balzac, Zola, Dostoevsky, Mann, Kafka, Ford Madox Ford, Joyce, and Woolf. No
prerequisites.

analysis of film sequences, as well as through discussion and reading of film theory and criticism,
the class will seek to develop critical viewing skills and an understanding of cinematic structure.
To develop a vocabulary for discussing film and an appreciation of the variety of approaches to
film, students read a textbook on film analysis, essays on film theory, and reviews by professional
film critics. Each week the class sees a film and meets as a group to discuss it.
 
LIT239: Crossing the Water: Contemporary Poets of the U.S. and U.K. Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Throughout the last two centuries there has been a rich exchange and influence at work between poets
of America and the United Kingdom countries. This course will look closely at the work of six
American-based poets - Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, Theodore Roetke, John Ashbery,
and Rita Dove - in tandem with six United Kingdom poets - Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney,
Derek Walcott, John Kinsella, and Carol Ann Duffy - in order to draw comparisons and distinctions
between poetry on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as to consider the global developments of
poetry written in English over the last fifty years in Australia, the Caribbean, England, and
Northern Ireland. In addition, students will read and respond to twelve other U.S. and U.K. poets,
whose poems will be placed on electronic reserve, in order to provide themselves with a fuller
picture of the wide range of poetries that have developed in each of these regions. Themes to be
explored will include the uses of autobiography, the uses of nature, cultural history, gender,
national identity, and evolutions in language and formal approaches. Through papers and a
presentation, students will also hone their critical skills in reading and celebrating the richness
of contemporary poetry in English throughout the world. No prerequisites.
 
LIT247: The Face in the Mirror: Literary Forms of the Double Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Double, doppelganger, alter ego, evil twin - the possibility of encountering another version of
oneself, whether as visionary image, material entity, split personality, or psychic archetype, is a
recurrent literary theme, but one that has also been of special interest to students of psychology.
In varying ways, these writers and thinkers indicate that the encounter with one's double is seldom
easy, and that it inevitably precipitates some kind of radical change, inner and outer, for the
individual. This course examines a variety of literary works from the past two hundred years in an
effort to better understand the different forms, meanings, and functions of the double as it appears
in literature. Along the way, we will also examine various theoretical and critical approaches to
the subject, such as those of Freud, Rank, Jung, Rogers, Keppler, Miller, and Webber. Primary texts
will be drawn from the following: Conrad, The Secret Sharer; Dostoevsky, The Double; Pirsig, Zen and
the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Wilde, The Picture of Dorian
Gray; Williams, Descent into Hell; James, "The Jolly Corner"; Hoffmann, "The Sandman," "The Golden
Flower Pot." "Die Doppelganger"; Gogol, "The Nose"; Poe, "William Wilson," "Ligeia," "The Fall of

of good and evil, the promise of salvation and damnation, the notion of faithfulness and sin, and
the concepts of eschatology and apocalypticism. Further, we will read a variety of literary texts
imbued with these themes in order to understand the ways in which good and evil have been
personified in literature.

Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course offers students the opportunity to write in an informal style and personal voice about a
wide range of topics. The personal essay typically combines elements of storytelling and description
with reflective exploration. By locating the writer's personal experience within a larger context of
ideas, the personal essay draws the reader into situations and settings that address questions of
more universal relevance. Over the course of the term, students experiment with different ways of
achieving the essay's mixture of rendering and reflection. Students produce some new writing every
two weeks, both on assigned topics as well as ones of their own choosing, and must write and revise
two extended essays during the course of the term. Class time is spent discussing students' writing

Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course explores literary works and the ways in which they have been interpreted, adapted, and
reimagined in later centuries by a range of writers and filmmakers. While each work is examined on
its own, we will also look at the ways in which the works together illuminate both the source text
and the counterpart, offering opportunities to examine the times and the cultures that produced
each. The source texts will be canonical English works; the counterparts demonstrate how this act of
transformation occurs across eras and cultures. The course examines different ways that this
transformation is enacted, with pairings that turn the tables on the relationship of protagonist to
antagonist, that explore inventive adaptations, or that suggest connections that are more
associative or intuitive. Critical readings include works on literary influence, intertextuality,
and narrative theory. Texts include Beowulf, Sir Gawain & The Green Knight, King Lear, Robinson
Crusoe, Jane Eyre and later works by John Gardner, Akira Kurosawa, J.M. Coetzee, Jean Rhys, and
others.

Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course examines the historical roots and modern practice of the religious and philosophical
traditions of China, Japan, and Korea. First we start in northeast India in the 6th century B.C.,
examining Vedic traditions and the historical development and diffusion of Buddhism. Before tracing
the spread of Buddhism to East Asia, we study the development of Daoism, Confucianism, and Shinto,
and the cultural traditions with which they coevolved. The next phase of the course focuses on the
coexistence of these philosophies and religions, changes in their collective and individual roles
within society, and their integration into the visual arts, music, literature, martial arts, daily
life, and cultural landscapes. In the final phase of the course, we examine the roles that these
belief systems play in contemporary East Asian and North American culture. Guest speakers
discuss their own experiences and practices. Students are encouraged (but not expected) to observe
or participate in activities at local Buddhist and Daoist communities. Students are also encouraged
to relate their own experiences and practices to the course.
 
PHIL223: Doubt and Dogmatism: Faith and Rational Inquiry in Greece and Rome Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Histories of philosophy often leave the impression that philosophy in Western antiquity ended with
Plato and Aristotle. But in the Mediterranean world after Alexander the Great and down to the
ultimate victory of Christianity, the intellectual landscape was dominated by a very different group
of philosophies: Stoicism, founded by Semitic thinkers and focused on a belief in fate and duty;
Epicureanism, a seemingly atheistic belief in science and pleasure; and the Skepticism of Plato's
Academy. They argued over the issues that guided people's lives. How do we achieve happiness? What
are the greatest good and the greatest evil? What role do the gods play? How do we live in harmony
with nature? Are women equal to men? And what about slavery? What happens to me after death? In
answering these questions, these schools established the concepts and arguments that defined the
intellectual world of late antiquity and Western Europe well into the modern period. We will engage
with these questions and arguments in this formative phase, in which science, philosophy, and
religion were not distinguished as they are today. Whereas for Plato and Aristotle we possess their
own works, almost all that we have of these philosophers has been handed down to us by others: Later
adherents, Greek historians of philosophy (Sextus Empiricus and Diogenes Laertius), and often by
Christian authors seeking to refute pagan ways of thinking. We must reconstruct the original source
in order to critique it. Students will be encouraged and expected to argue with these thinkers, in
class and in papers. No prerequisites.
 
PHIL225: Phenomenology & Existentialism Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Existentialism is an important and very influential intellectual movement that flourished in the
middle of the twentieth century. Emphasizing and indeed thematizing the human being's search for
meaning in an uncertain and apparently meaningless universe, it achieved wide resonance among
writers, thinkers, and artists in a world still reeling from the horrors of the two world wars. It
centered around such writers as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, although the movement
appropriated, and was to some extent influenced by, such earlier writers as Kierkegaard,
Dostoyevsky, and Kafka. As a philosophical perspective, however, it is directly indebted to, and
continuous with, the phenomenological movement initiated by Edmund Husserl in the first decades of
the twentieth century, and especially as Husserl's phenomenology was developed and revised by his
erstwhile collaborator, Martin Heidegger. This course will therefore focus upon the development of
phenomenology, beginning with Husserl's attempt to establish an a priori science of the universal
structures of human consciousness, and culminating in Sartre's humanistic existentialism. Some
emphasis will placed on the pivotal--and controversial--figure of Heidegger, whose Being and Time
(arguably the most influential philosophical text of the twentieth century) presumed to have
transformed Husserl's phenomenology into a comprehensive and radical revision of traditional
philosophical thinking.
 
PHIL313: Topics in Classical and Contemporary Metaphysics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course will investigate fundamental problems in metaphysics, such as universals, identity over
time, time itself, necessity and causation, and the relation between mind and world. It will do so
by examining how these problems are treated by contemporary philosophers and by examining how
analogous problems were treated by philosophers from different epochs, with some emphasis upon late
mediaeval philosophy. There will also be some discussion of why different generations of
philosophers have come to treat rather differently problems that are at least generically similar.
Pre-requisites: One course in philosophy, and Sem III or permission of the instructor.

THEA107: Studies in Production: Performance Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This module is concerned with the faculty-supervised, student-generated, dramatic endeavor. This
project is realized with limited technical support and is intended to be an intensive interface
between the student director, the student performers, and the faculty supervisor. The student actors
and stage managers involved are introduced to the principles and elements of performance without the
rigors of the faculty-directed, semester-long project. Generally, the content of the performance is
equivalent to a one-act play. This course includes some basic research and readings pertaining to
acting/directing theory and texts related to the performance material(s) themselves. A paper is due
at the end of the module and all students are expected to fulfill their assigned duties and adhere
to the rehearsal schedule. Almost all rehearsal occurs during class time, with the direct
supervision of the faculty instructor. This module is intended as an introductory course in the
theater program. It has no prerequisites for any participating student, except for the student
director. The student director must have the instructor's permission.

a play for its needs; research time periods and places, and adapt them to a play. Strong emphasis
will be placed on planning effectively in order to produce real costumes and props for a given play,
as envisioned by a director, within a budget and a proscribed period of time. Some time will be
spent on getting input from a director, actors and other designers, using that information in a
design concept and getting final approval before starting. Along with methods of effective research
and planning, students will be exposed to the rudimentary skills needed to find, purchase, adapt
and/or construct costumes and props.
