AMST 103-01 | The Problem of Race in US Social Thought and Policy | TR | 09:40 am-11:10 am | HUM 112 | Karin Aguilar-San Juan | ||
*First day attendance required; First Year Course only* In this discussion-based and residential course, we will explore the hypothesis that 21st century racism has morphed from simple and evil formulations of bigotry and exploitation into more nefarious and decentralized systems of cultural camouflage, spatial demarcation, physical surveillance, and ideological control. Our interdisciplinary and integrative approach will employ multiple methods of inquiry and expression, including: self-reflective essays and maps; a scavenger hunt in the Twin Cities; library research; and deep, critical analysis of arguments about race/ethnicity/assimilation/multiculturalism. We will hone writing and speaking skills through highly structured assignments paired with open-ended conversations in order to discover the questions that truly matter to us. The semester will culminate with a short college-level paper directed toward the Clint Eastwood film, �Gran Torino.� |

AMST 194-02 | Introduction to American Indian Studies | TR | 01:20 pm-02:50 pm | HUM 111 | Scott Shoemaker | ||
*First day attendance required* American Indian Studies/Native American Studies as a discipline has its beginnings in American Indian activism of the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, the discipline has emerged from various other disciplines such as history, anthropology, literary studies, and art and matured into a new interdisciplinary approach and epistemological framework. In this course we will examine what American Indian Studies scholar, Clara Sue Kidwell (Choctaw), describes as the �five premises� of the discipline of American Indian Studies: 1) The relationship between people and land, 2) the inclusion and privileging of American Indian historical perspectives, 3) the inherent rights of American Indians as sovereign nations, 4) the importance of language, and 5) the link between cultural values and contemporary forms of American Indian art and expression. | |||||||

*Cross-listed with HIST 294-04; First day attendance required* 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of statehood for Hawai`i. This anniversary, like the history of Hawai`i itself since the turn of the twentieth century, is highly contested. This course will introduce students to the history of Kanaka Maoli, indigenous Hawaiians, and the history of encounters between Americans, Hawaiians, and Asian migrants during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We will consider labor migration to the islands that profoundly altered their ethnic make-up and how, after American takeover, politics, race relations, and the status of Native Hawaiians, including laws about who counts as Native Hawaiian, have been shaped in a settler colony. We will also examine how and why Hawai`i became a state, the transformation of the islands from a plantation to a tourist economy, and how these changes affected residents based on their class, gender, ethnic group, and status as settlers or indigenous people. | |||||||

ANTH 394-01 | Darwin and Evolutionary Thought | MWF | 02:20 pm-03:20 pm | CARN 06B | Scott Legge | ||
This course examines the influence of Charles Darwin on both the discipline of Anthropology and general scientific thought in the 20th century. It will begin with an exploration of the emergence of modern evolutionary biology, its role in society, and how it is essential to the understanding of biological anthropology. We will consider some of the work of Darwin�s predecessors, who laid the intellectual and scientific foundations that Darwin built upon. Students will also read and discuss some of the biggest debates surrounding the theory of Natural Selection, both past and present. Finally, we will look at the future of evolutionary theory in light of recent developments in molecular biology and the fossil record. | |||||||

*Cross-listed with ENVI 194-02; first day attendance required* Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed (SER 2004). This new course will provide a broad overview of the interdisciplinary field of restoration ecology, include specific case studies of restoration efforts, and involve extensive hands-on field experiences. We will focus on using knowledge of basic ecology and ecosystem functioning to facilitate the recovery of degraded ecosystems. Topics related to the implementation of restoration projects such as assessment of reference conditions, planning and setting objectives, manipulating successional trajectories, evaluating success, legislation, and funding will be included. Additional topics will include management of introduced/exotic/invasive species, environmental design principles, and complications due to climate change. Labs will include field trips to restoration efforts in the Twin Cities area and a semester long project at Macalester�s field station, the Katherine Ordway Natural History Study Area. | |||||||

Sources of stem cells include embryos, adult tissues, and most recently, adult cells that have been genetically engineered back into an embryonic state. Because of the developmental plasticity or pluripotency of these cells, the biomedical field has been interested in developing methods to direct the development of stem cells into specific cell and tissue types with the longterm goal of treating or replacing diseased tissue. This course will entail extensive reading and discussion of the primary literature of stem cell research to gain some historical perspective as well as an up-to-date view of the current state of the field. Several methodologies used to generate and/or study stem cells, such as cell culturing techniques, transgenic approaches, and microarrays will be covered in some depth, as will related concepts such as cell signaling and differential gene expression. We will also read and discuss a variety of perspectives on the socio-ethical issues associated with stem cell research and its potential therapeutic applications. Three discussion/lecture hours per week. Pre-requisites: Cell Biology & Genetics II (old BIOL 205), or both Genetics (BIOL 260) and Cell Biology (BIOL 265); junior or senior standing. | |||||||

The chemistry of the environment involves highly complicated processes in the atmosphere, in soil, and in natural waters. To allow for appropriate depth, we will focus in this course on the chemistry of the lower atmosphere. We will use the concepts and techniques of thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular structure and bonding to explore topics such as ozone depletion, acid rain, smog, and global climate change. Class activities will include critical reading of two environmental chemistry textbooks and articles from the primary literature, lecture and discussion, problem sets, and a final paper. Prerequisite: Chemistry 211 (Organic Chemistry I) with a minimum grade of C or permission of the instructor. | |||||||

This course will investigate reading and writing in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds from a number of angles. We�ll consider (among many other topics): the 'invention' and diffusion of the alphabet in Greece and its adaptation in Italy (including the question: was the Greek alphabet created by a single man at a particular point in time for the purpose of writing down the Iliad and Odyssey?); the physical media of ancient writing and how texts were produced and circulated; how the physical media of ancient writing affected the content of the work; who was able to read and how these readers consumed their texts; how people were educated to read and write (if they were); ancient scholarship and the development of (personal and public) libraries; how ancient as well as modern thinkers treat the relationship between orality and literacy; how literacy is related to the development of Greek and Roman social institutions (e.g. banking, law); how literacy is related to the development of the human brain and cognition. We'll also consider trends in the development of literacy studies in Classics over the last twenty-five years, and how current research on literacy in other fields can be profitably applied to the ancient world (or not). | |||||||

This course will provide students with a introduction to the study of poetry in the English language, including poems in translation. We will examine the historical evolution of the poem as a flexible literary form and read a generous selection of influential poets. We will also explore the cultural politics of poetry in our world today. Where do we find and consume poems in our day-to-day lives? What is the place of poetry in the books we read, the music we listen to and the ceremonies we attend? For example, why does the government commission poets (rather than other types of writers) to solemnify national occasions such as presidential inaugurations? By working together to address these types of questions, we will gain a better understanding of poetry as both a literary development and a living cultural artifact. Classroom time will include a mix a lecture, discussions and possible film or poetry reading screenings. Grades will be determined by course participation, short writing assignments and quizzes on key terms and literary/historical developments. There are no prerequisites for ENGL 135. Non-majors are welcome. This course fulfills the gateway requirement for English majors and the College's Writing requirement. |

*Permission of English Professor Ping Wang required for entry into this course.* This class will use discussions of the readings and class exercises to generate and shape student writing. In the first half we will explore texts which break down traditional narrative and use techniques such as collage and crossing genres (writers such as Susan Sontag, Kimiko Hahn, Kathy Acker, Michelle Cliff, Leslie Marmon Silko, John Cage, Sei Shonagon). We will examine the mixing of various forms which can take place in a nonfiction text�memoir, cultural analysis, history, quotations, myth, stage dialogue, film script, e-mail, news stories, lists, poetry, etc. In the second half, we will read short stories (writers such as Junot Diaz, ZZ Packer, Denis Johnson, Jumpha Lahiri, Sherman Alexie). We will take aspects of the writing from the first half of the semester and then attempt to discover and shape a nonfiction narrative. We will address how a protagonist--in either memoir or fiction�is revealed, shaped and changed through narrative. We will work on the creation of scenes as a way of defining and depicting a self or character. We will study various structures of narrative, from myth to drama to fiction to film, and the literary and psychological need for stories. |

This course focuses on the study and context of French literary masterpieces in the 17th century. The reading list includes major playwrights such as Corneille, Moli�re, Racine, philosophers such as Descartes and Pascal, and other well-known writers. The course also explores the general climate of the time with authors, memoirists, letter and storywriters, artists, who contributed to the glory of the century, but have also revealed its darker sides (La Bruy�re, La Fontaine, F�nelon, the painters Le Nain etc). In a traditionally all-male French literary culture, the course also acknowledges the unique and asserting movement of the "Pr�cieuses", as well as the birth of French novel through the artistic creativity of women. Several films will complete the exposure of students to the life of the time. Prerequisite, French 306 or permission of instructor. |

*First day attendance required.* In this course, we will use a variety of modes and genres (ethnological travel accounts, poetry, novels, essays, films, etc.) to explore various representations of Africa and Africans through the notion of race. We will first examine how the notion of race in French literature, particularly in hamitic myth, served to juxtapose and contrast African cultures and Africans with the superior and civilized western world. Then, we will analyze African francophone texts that rejected the colonial discourse by anthropologists and travelers as a way of reinterpreting (rewriting) African history. Finally, we will discuss writings suggesting the �prise en charge� or the appropriation of �racial theories� by Africans through debates on citizenship, ethnic identity and democracy and the role they played in the rise of mass violence. Readings and films will include selections of texts by Voltaire, L�Abb�e Gr�goire, Montesquieu, Gobineau, Maran, Gide, Fanon, C�saire, Mongo Beti, Paul Del Perugia, Mudimbe, and Boubacar Boris Diop as well the book of Genesis and La Chanson de Roland. | |||||||

*First day attendance required* Maps tell us much more than merely how to get from here to there. One of the oldest forms of human communications, they ultimately express the many ways we attempt to understand the world and be part of it. The explorers, their itineraries and their diaries offer a complex view of this world too. The class will expose the different interactions between the maps, explorers and writers from Antiquity to present. During the Renaissance and later on explorations, colonization also ushered a significant challenge to Christian and Muslim accounts of their travels. The indigenous peoples of Africas and the Americas offered for the explorers and cartographers ways to express their consternation or their enthusiasm. Our class will explore the ways Egyptians and the Greeks influenced the thought of travelers of the Middle Ages (Marco Polo, . We will discuss the French Renaissance exploration and travel writing (Verrazano, Cartier, Thevet, L�ry, Lescarbot) read about the influences of 17th and 18th century mapmakers through diaries of Lap�rouse, Nicollet, Bougainville, Rousseau. The 19th century will bring a lot of diaries and maps from utopian discourse to romantic travels (Flaubert, M�rim�e, Dumont D'urville ). The study of contemporary diaries (Ruffin, Le Clezio) and their maps of the world will be studied through discussion and show the changing dynamics of identity and the other in the Modern world. The study of maps, diaries and films through authentic material answers the needs of the French and Liberal Arts college. This class will prepare majors and minors in French language, French and francophone cultures and literature. It will help non-French majors achieve language competencies appropriate for study in their own fields, for future professional needs or for personal enrichment. It will provide all students with the opportunity to acquire, as part as of a liberal arts education, knowledge of the French language. As the topic relates to France and the Francophone world, it addresses the diverse disciplinary areas well established in the French Department and the long term affiliation with the humanities, media and cultural studies, and women�s and gender studies programs. In French: Prerequisite, French 306 or permission of instructor. |

GEOG 294-01 | Regional Geography of Eastern and Central Europe | W | 07:00 pm-10:00 pm | CARN 107 | Jennifer Blecha | ||
In just one hundred years, Eastern and Central Europe has gone from a land of emperors and princes, to dictators both fascist and communist, to increasingly stable democracies. Rebellions and revolutions, both peaceful and violent, have marked the century, as well as the lives of the diverse peoples who resisted and succumbed to various regimes. For years, Americans knew little about the countries "behind the iron curtain" of Soviet control, but now an increasing tourist trade takes us easily to Prague, Budapest and Krakow, and new countries seem to join the European Union every year. Does it make sense to think of these countries as a distinct region, or are they seamlessly reuniting with the rest of Europe? In order to understand current issues facing Eastern and Central Europe, we must know more about the geography of this region. This course will examine layers of physical, historical, political, cultural, economic and environmental geographies of Eastern and Central Europe in order to better grasp and evaluate contemporary life and concerns there. | |||||||

GERM 360-01 | Proseminar: Sex and the (German) City | MWF | 10:50 am-11:50 am | HUM 215 | Brigetta Abel | ||
*Taught in German.* In this course we will discuss the connections between sex and the city within German modernism: how is the city itself represented as sexualized? How does the city become the site of (sometimes hyper-)sexuality? How does gender play a role in this trope? And how does this connection between sex and the city intersect with other socio-political, historical, and/or literary trends? We will begin with the obvious setting for this topic, the Weimar Republic, and then delve into some other contexts chronologically. The course will be taught in German, with primary texts in German (literary works, films, music), but secondary texts will be primarily in English. Requirements include: daily reading and journal entries, several short reaction papers, final exam. | |||||||
GERM 364-01 | The Birth of Modern Germany | TR | 09:40 am-11:10 am | HUM 217 | David Martyn | ||
*The 19th century in Germany and Austria was marked by the fault lines of modernity: revolutionary radicalism and stodgy conservatism, Victorian prudishness and deviant sexuality, religious piousness and an avowedly atheist scientific revolution. All of these tensions are discernable in the literary works of the period, which include some of the greatest the language has to offer. The course will introduce students to the four major movements of the century: the politically radical Junges Deutschland and its reactionary twin, Biedermeier; bourgeois Realism, which reflected the political and social fragility that followed the failed 1848 revolution; and Naturalism, which made literature into a scientific experiment and inaugurated modernism. The emphasis will be on literature in its intellectual and social context. Readings by Morike, Droste-Hulshoff, Heine, Buchner, Marx, Gotthelf, Grillparzer, Hebbel, Keller, Fontane, and Hauptmann. Requirements: 3 short papers; oral presentation; daily reading responses. Prerequisite: German 306 (may be taken simultaneously) or study abroad. Taught in German.* | |||||||
GERM 394-01 | Metaphysics in Secular Thought | MWF | 03:30 pm-04:30 pm | HUM 215 | Kiarina Kordela | ||
*Cross-listed with HMCS 394-01 and RELI 394-01; A widespread tendency in contemporary Western societies is to associate metaphysics with religion, if not with what is often dismissively called "irrationality." This course will dismantle this myth by turning to the European (continental) philosophical tradition since the seventeenth century and its reception by twentieth-century critical theory, in order to examine the ways in which secular thought emerges not as an alternative to metaphysics, something which thought cannot supercede anyway, but simply as an alternative way - and one that by no means is more "rationally grounded" than religion - of dealing with the very same metaphysical questions and issues than concern religion: What can infinity be and what is its relation to the finite? I know I am mortal, but is there something immortal about me? What is the relation between matter and thought (spirit, soul, etc.)? Is there a gaze that always looks at me and judges me? Am I responsible for my wrongdoings or was I predetermined by a higher power to commit them? Is there a meaning or goal in human (and other) life and history? Is there a reason (and a purpose) for everything that happens or is it all just random? Is the universe chaotic or is there order ("entropy" being an attempt to deal with this question in physics), and so on. All readings in English. No pre-knowledge is required. Assigned readings will include: St. Augustine, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and twentieth-century critical theory. | |||||||

*First day attendance required; course taught in Spanish.* The rise in femicide across Latin America, most shockingly exhibited in the city of Ju�rez, Mexico, has resulted in broad discussions of women's relationship with violence. However what happens when the traditional paradigm is inverted and we explore women as perpetrators, rather than victims, of violence? This class will dialogue with selected Latin American and Latino narratives (including novels, short stories, films, and newspapers) constituting different representations of women who kill. Why are violent acts perceived to be more disturbing when a woman commits them? What type of language is used to describe a woman's violence? How do archetypes such as the femme fatale or scorned woman filter our perception? These questions will motivate our reading, discussion, and writing for the semester.

This course will examine the modern history of Europe in the context of tensions between Euro-optimism and Euro-pessimism, which alternately see a unified Europe as the inevitable future or an impossible dream. While this debate larger focuses on the rise of the European Union after World War II, this course will examine its broader historical implications for our understanding of European history and identity since the French Revolution and Industrial Revolutions. We will use primary documents, leading historical scholarship, and pieces of literature, multimedia, and popular culture to aid in our consideration of shifting internal and external borders, stratifying and collapsing systems of social hierarchy, and the political and cultural values that variably pushed the peoples of Europe closer together to and pulled them farther apart from each other and the rest of the world. | |||||||

*Cross-listed with WGSS 194-03* Is biology destiny? This introductory course in the history of science and American culture will examine scientific ideas about race, sex, sexuality, and heredity from the early nineteenth century through the present. We will explore the historical intersections of scientific, medical, and popular ideas about differences in bodies and behavior, the emergence of eugenics, the relationship between ideas about heredity and the evolution of sexual mores, gender norms, and the definition of deviance, and the development of genetic science and its applications. Ideas about differences in anatomy, physiology, and psychology have shaped social norms, public policy, and the development of identity. Readings in the history of biology, medicine, and sexuality, as well as a selection of films, will assist us as we examine the ways in which ideas about difference have evolved and persisted in American culture. | |||||||
HIST 194-05 | African Life Histories | MWF | 02:20 pm-03:20 pm | MAIN 002 | Jamie Monson | ||
This course is an introduction to personal narrative as a form of African historical expression. We will read several published life histories, from anthropological recordings to slave narratives to autobiography and memoir. We will consult scholarly essays about life history as a genre, to help us discuss the methodology behind the production of these important texts. Our task is therefore twofold: as we learn about the lives of African men and women through their own stories, we will also examine the processes through which these stories are made available to us. The format of the course will be a discussion seminar, with intermittent background lectures where necessary. | |||||||

*Cross-listed with ENVI 294-02; From 1347-1350, a great plague swept across Europe, killing an estimated 1/3 of the entire human population. As if that wasn�t bad enough, the fourteenth century also witnessed animal diseases, famines, large-scale climate change, and the human crisis of war. This had both immediate and long-term effects on medieval Europe, changing daily life, social networks, and economic decision making. Understanding the degree to which the medieval world was altered by (and survived) this natural disaster also offers glimpses of medieval psychology, scientific knowledge, spirituality, and aesthetics. We will also set the medieval epidemic in its broader context, by discussing problems in studying historical plagues and by looking at the earlier outbreak of plague in Europe at the end of the Roman Empire. | |||||||
HIST 294-02 | Saints and Society in the Middle Ages | MWF | 01:10 pm-02:10 pm | MAIN 111 | Ellen Arnold | ||
*Cross-listed with RELI 294-02.* In the Middle Ages, religious practices and beliefs were deeply integrated into the social, political, and economic fabric of society. In this class, we will look at medieval saints in order to discuss the character and nature of medieval society. Medieval people interacted with saints (both living and dead) in fascinating and unique ways. We will discuss the earliest desert saints who shaped ideas of Christian holiness, crusading-era ideas about the power of saintly intervention in worldly conflict, and medieval ideas about miracles, death, and redemption. We will survey the full span of the Middle Ages, from the waning of the Roman Empire to the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation. | |||||||
HIST 294-03 | Socialism in History and Philosophy | MWF | 02:20 pm-03:20 pm | MAIN 009 | Peter Weisensel | ||
This class will study the idea of socialism from its earliest forms in ancient times to its present through a series of original socialist texts. Two professors, one in history and the other in philosophy will teach it. We will engage thinkers like Plato, Thomas More, the early French communists, the Utopians, Marx and Engels (the heart of the course) and their Revisionists, the Fabians (an Anglo-Saxon alternative), Lenin and Stalin, the Frankfurt School, the socialist feminists, and contemporary socialist thinkers. We will study socialism critically: we will recognize its strengths but also identify its flaws when we see them. We will contextualize these socialist texts, that is, study how changes in real-world circumstances change the way socialism is written or used. Lastly, we will try to understand the gap between socialist theory as written by intellectuals and the way socialism is understood by ordinary working people. The class is discussion-based. Exams will be in class. Often students will be expected to lead class discussions. Students who have already taken Hist. 255 and Phil. 255 may not take this course. Otherwise, the course is open to all students, first year students with the permission of the instructors. | |||||||

HIST 294-05 | Captivity and Slavery in the Making of Early American Society | TR | 09:40 am-11:10 am | HUM 227 | Andrea Cremer | ||
This course explores the complex histories of captivity and slavery in early America. Rather than focusing solely on chattel-based African-American slave institution, the history of slavery is taken back to the point of contact between European explorers and indigenous Americans. European colonists from the fifteenth century onward encountered Native American systems of captivity and slavery; the Euro-American settlers both incorporated and changed Indian captivity within their new colonial communities. Captivity and enslavement became a dynamic site of cultural conflict and exchange in colonial America. With the arrival of African slaves in North America in the seventeenth century, the history of slavery in American society transformed into a complex web of relations between Native Americans, Africans, and European colonists. Systems of slavery and captivity effectively acted as borderlands for European, Native American and African societies. This course requires students to engage in a critical analysis of slavery and captivity and the ways in which they shaped diverse cultures in North America. Specific attention will be given to the intersection of gender and sexuality in captivity and slave systems, and to the emergence of racial ideologies and political power in early America. | |||||||
HIST 294-07 | German History from Reformation to Unification, 1500-1871 | MWF | 03:30 pm-04:30 pm | MAIN 009 | Aeleah Soine | ||
How do we understand German history before there was a Germany? This course seeks to answer this question by examining key moments in German history beginning with the Lutheran Reformation in the sixteenth century and concluding with the creation of the German nation-state at the end of its nineteenth-century Wars of Unification. Our course materials will include a diverse assortment of scholarly perspectives, political and personal documents, and elements of high and popular cultures from Bach and Goethe to beer drinking and Grimm's fairy tales. More broadly, we will look at how identities (German or otherwise) are constantly shaped by dimensions of gender, class, race, ethnicity, religion as well as tensions between nationalism, regionalism, and internationalism. | |||||||

*First Year Course Only* An introductory, first-year course on raced representation in US silent film, concentrating on a comparison of the productions of D. W. Griffith and Oscar Micheaux, perhaps the leading white and black filmmakers of their time. These films were made and exhibited within separate cinemas shaped by white supremacist institutions, and, most important, with segregated audiences in mind. Comparisons illuminate the way the works reproduce strikingly different discourses of race, gender, and class. Attention will be paid to the distinctive editing styles of the two sets of films, and the way in which such styles, like their cinematography, can be seen as raced. Extensive discussions, readings, and screenings (for which extra time has been included in the schedule). Several essay exams and one short paper required. | |||||||

HMCS 294-01 | Introduction to New Media | TR | 03:00 pm-04:30 pm | HUM 402 | John Kim | ||
*Suitable for new first years.* In the last couple of decades we have seen the invention and popularization of a wide assortment of digital technologies and with them, a bewildering variety of new media forms. The internet (which includes a collection of media forms, from web pages and peer-to-peer software to social networking and video sharing sites), massively multiplayer online video games, mobile computing, software, cell phones � together, many argue, these and other forms of new media are reshaping how we live, create, work and, even, what it means to be human. In this class we�ll examine a cross-section of contemporary humanistic research that has sought to understand the impact(s) of new media through a comparison to earlier, pre-digital media. In addition, we will engage in hands-on workshops, where we will use and learn some of the tools, software and websites that our texts consider. By the end of the course, you should be able to critique and synthesize the ways in which others have characterized the impact of new media. You should have a sense of just what is and isn't "new" about new media. And most important of all, you should have begun to build your own theories of how new media and the humanities interact. | |||||||
HMCS 294-02 | Afro-Futurism in Old and New Media | MWF | 09:40 am-10:40 am | HUM 401 | Leola Johnson | ||
*Cross-listed with AMST 294-02; first day attendance required* Afrofuturism is an artistic movement that uses science fiction and technoculture to address African-American concerns. In 2005, the Soap Factory, a local art space near the University of Minnesota, sponsored one of the first exhibits in then nation of Afro-futurist work, and HMCS was one of several co-sponsors of that event. The exhibit introduced our students to the critical and scholarly work of Yale sociologist Alondra Nelson, as well as the curatorial and artistic work of Black local and national artists whose work is displayed on the web and in art galleries, as well as in popular film, television and literature. That exhibit has since traveled to other locations, and Afrofuturism has taken off as a movement that engages scholars, critics and artists. In this course, we will explore some of the key works in the emerging Afro-futurist cannon, including Black science fiction in literature and on film and television, futuristic Black representations from the music world (e.g., Space is the Place by Sun Ra, and George Clinton�s mothership connection), and the web design and video installation work of Cinque Hicks and others. | |||||||

We begin with a consideration of Native American perspectives on the three rivers. In September we plan to take a weekend canoe trip on the Minnesota River under the direction of the Healthy Nations Program of the American Indian Center. Our consideration of Native American perspectives will raise questions of ownership and property rights and lead to consideration of environmental justice as well as the environment as a human rights issue. The written work for the course will include creative writing such as poems, short stories and reflections as well as philosophical writing such as conceptual analysis and arguments for ethical and political positions related to environmental justice and human rights. There are no prerequisites. |

This course will focus on some central topics in contemporary Anglo-American (or "analytic") social and political philosophy. We begin with John Rawls�s theory of justice as it evolved from its first articulation in 1958 to its final in 2001. We�ll then likely move on to questions about what sort of equality, if any, is an attractive social goal and then to issues about global justice. What duties do members of one society have to members of others? | |||||||

Most everyone agrees that the US health care system is in need of reform, but policymakers are divided over what kind of reforms to prioritize and pursue. In this course, we situate the health care reform debate in a historical and comparative context, comparing the US system to other countries, and consider both the merits and feasibility of health reform through classroom discussion, a legislative simulation, and end-of-the-semester symposium. The course�s aim is to enable you to participate in the today's health reform debate through a primer on health care politics and policy and also, in a more general way, shed light on the politics of public policy. | |||||||

This is an intermediate-level course designed to introduce students to the various ways in which feminist scholars have contributed to the study and practice of international relations/world politics. It challenges students to assess these contributions and to consider the implications � for both scholars and practitioners � of `taking gender seriously�. The course begins with an exploration of feminist theories and their relationship to theorizing both within and beyond International Relations. Building on this exploration, the course then turns to feminist scholarship on war, peace, and security; human rights and humanitarianism; and the global political economy. | |||||||

This seminar will examine the interplay of culture and the mind. In the first part of the course, we will briefly examine theoretical developments and methodological limitations in the field of cultural psychology, which has highlighted fundamental differences in models of the self, attention, perception, memory, morality, and emotion across East/Southeast Asians and Western Europeans/North Americans. The remaining time will be spent examining a series of topics on how culture and psychology interrelate in our increasingly globalized world. These topics include, but are not limited to, acculturation, multicultural identity negotiation, cultural evolution and reproduction, multicultural competence, emotion and memory across cultures, culture of gender, and culture of socioeconomic status. Culture and Context course. Prerequisite: Senior major or minor. | |||||||

This seminar will examine individual functioning and development using a social-ecological framework (i.e., we will discuss the ways in which the multiple contexts in which we live and interact with others impact our development and functioning across the lifespan). We will specifically focus on the roles of the family system, work and school, poverty/welfare, social support, health care, media, cultural values, national customs, and historical time in shaping development and functioning. Also discussed will be the ways by which individuals affect the ecologies in which they develop and live. Culture and Context course. Prerequisite: Senior major or minor. | |||||||

Since the beginnings of the European colonial encounter with Buddhism, Buddhism has often been presented (by Europeans and Asians alike) as an atheistic, practical, philosophy, opposed to ritual and superstition. Yet, wherever Buddhism has taken root, the practices of Buddhism are often deeply involved with, and perhaps even rooted in, strong beliefs in spirits, gods, ghosts, and magic. This class examines "the supernatural" in Buddhist lands and Buddhism's interaction with the same, along with an examination of three different theories of how this connection should be conceived. Sections on Tibet and East Asia will be included, but the general geographic focus will remain on Southeast Asia. |

*Cross-listed with HMCS 294-04* This course introduces students to classic and contemporary approaches to the academic study of religion. It assumes no background in theory and method and minimal background in particular religious traditions. This semester our work together will be driven by the questions "Who cares? and Why bother?" We will explore, in what I hope to be exciting and engaging ways, significant theoretical and methodological work by scholars across the social sciences and the humanities who seek to define and to understand the concept religion, the religions, and religious phenomena. Course materials include classical texts, critiques of these texts, and contemporary applications of both the classics and the critiques. These assignments exemplify and stress the necessarily interdisciplinary character of the academic study of religion and the political, economic, social, and ethical implications of how both scholars and people outside the academic world think about religion, the religions, and the religious. | |||||||

In 1654 twenty-three Jewish refugees fled Brazil and landed, by mistake, in what is today New York. 300 years later American Jewry constitutes the largest, richest, and one of the two most important Jewish communities in the world. The five to six million men, women, and children of the contemporary American Jewish community constitute a "mixed multitude": Sephardic and Ashkenazic, "yordim" and Zionists, religious Jews and secularists, feminists and "Black Jews", converts and "bagel-and-lox" Jews, and those who are "just Jewish"! Although comprising less than three percent of the U.S. population, their educational, social, and economic success gives them heightened visibility in the media, politics and literature. We will explore the creation and evolution of the American Jewish community, focusing on the successive waves of immigration, the ways in which they constructed their American Jewish identities, and the reactions of others to their entrance into American life. Of particular focus is the relationship of American Jews to 1.) the African-American experience, 2.) the creation of, and conundrums in Israel, and 3.) the interfaith reality of American, both personally and collectively. | |||||||

RELI 294-03 | Martyrdom Then and Now | TR | 09:40 am-11:10 am | MAIN 001 | Susanna Drake | ||
From Socrates to Joan of Arc to suicide bombers, martyrs have chosen to risk theirs lives and even to die, rather than renounce their beliefs or practices. This course explores how stories about martyrs ("martyrologies") relate to the formation of religious identities and communities. Over the course of the semester, we will analyze martryrologies from the early Christian and Jewish periods, the beginnings of Islam, the medieval age, the sixteenth century, and modernity. Guest faculty will also address comparatively examples of martyrdom from the non-monotheistic traditions. We will pay special attention to the social and political contexts with which martyrs often found themselves at odds (including the Roman Empire, medieval and Renaissance Europe, and U.S./Middle East in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries). In class discussions, readings, and written work, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the following questions (among others): How do the stories we tell about martyrs shape the way we understand religious practices and beliefs? How do narratives of bearing witness, suffering, and death help to illumine relationships between religious and political domains? Finally, how might our current understanding of martyrdom be informed by a study of history? |

From Socrates to Joan of Arc to suicide bombers, martyrs have chosen to risk theirs lives and even to die, rather than renounce their beliefs or practices. This course explores how stories about martyrs ("martyrologies") relate to the formation of religious identities and communities. Over the course of the semester, we will analyze martryrologies from the early Christian and Jewish periods, the beginnings of Islam, the medieval age, the sixteenth century, and modernity. Guest faculty will also address comparatively examples of martyrdom from the non-monotheistic traditions. We will pay special attention to the social and political contexts with which martyrs often found themselves at odds (including the Roman Empire, medieval and Renaissance Europe, and U.S./Middle East in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries).

THDA 110-01 | Intro to Theatre Studies | TR | 01:20 pm-02:50 pm | THEATR 205 | Lara Nielsen | ||
*First day attendance required* This course provides an introduction to studies in theatre and performance by way of critical dramatic and performance frameworks, from antiquity to present. This is an initiation, in other words, for the student of Theatre and Performance into a selection of global sources of performance forms, histories, and research methods. Around the world, artists have deployed written and embodied crafts for performance, and we will examine interpretational practices for engaging with written as well as performance texts. Key important terms include: representation, mediation, historiography, politics, philosophy, theory, performance -- as well as Theatre, Drama, and Audience. Students engage with the critical tools necessary to begin exploring histories of the critical arts, addressing methodologies of thinking, writing, reading, and researching works in the theater and the performing arts. The organizing project is to carefully consider the question of Mimesis (imitation): how it continues to inform conceptualizations of the field of Theatre and Performance Studies, and what it is that disciplines our research activities in it. In asking 'what is theatre, what is performance? How have they worked?' we also consider Methexis (participation). How are performance practices located? What are the imperatives of difference and repetition for thinking sources of global performance? Sources include Euripides, Plato, Aristotle, Ngugi wa Thiongo, Everyman, Shakespeare, Islamic and Golden Age Spain, Aztec ritual, Mayan theatres, and other indigenous performance practices. | |||||||

THDA 194-01 | Theatre and Performance in the Twin Cities | W | 07:00 pm-10:00 pm | THEATR 205 | Lara Nielsen | ||
*First Year Course only; first day attendance required.* The Twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are second only to New York City for the number of theatre and performance tickets sold annually, supporting an active creative community, and artistic institutions. In this class we attend to many aspects of performance in the vibrant Theatre and Performance communities -- including Dance -- of the Twin Cities. We will attend theatre and dance performances throughout the city as a group, and study the genres of their crafts through the examination of texts and performance in the classroom. The course meets once a week (Wednesday night), in order to facilitate a schedule of evening excursions, and on-campus seminars. The viewing of performances alternates with campus classroom seminars (sometimes every other week, or every second or third week), in which we discuss play and other kinds of performance practices, reflect on their enactments in performance, learn about the key terminologies for the poetics of work in performance, and develop our capacities for interpretational strategies in the performing arts. We will also study the distinctive missions (and audiences) of such acclaimed institutions as the Walker Art Center, the Southern Theatre, the Penumbra Theatre, the Ten Thousand Things Theatre Company, the Guthrie Theatre, The Theatre at the University of Minnesota, and Macalester�s own mainstage theatre productions. In sum, we make Macalester's Fine Arts Division, and the Theatre and Dance Department, our critical home: they are our laboratory spaces for studies in artistic form in Theatre and Performance. |

THDA 294-01 | Topics in Acting: "Brain to Bone" Aliveness, From Rehearsal to Performance | MWF | 02:20 pm-04:30 pm | THEATR STUDIO | Beth Cleary | ||
*Permission of instructor required.* The performance experience, for both actor and spectator, is a collaboration in "aliveness:" switched-on cognition, participatory embodiment systems (muscles, nerves, organs, etc.), moment-to-moment discovery. This course will establish effective practices for character embodiment for curious and serious students, while bypassing the "head trips" that underlie much of naturalistic acting. Students will learn how to apply accurate and experiential knowledge of their own body -- from brain to bone, ligament to heart -- to the building of character: using playwrights' language as cues for physical responses; finding and sustaining characters' voices and physicalities; being able to inhabit characters' whole system(s), physical, emotional, social. The work of the class will involve anatomy study and research, exercises and explorations, original application of work to character, and ultimately scene and monologue work. The class will be highly physical, and meet six hours per week. Preference will be given to students who have taken a Theatre acting course, though well-described curiosity and commitment will be considered favorably. | |||||||
THDA 294-02 | Hip Hop Performance: REMIX2009 | TR | 01:20 pm-02:50 pm | THEATR 204 | Harry Waters | ||
*First day attendance required; cross-listed with HMCS 294-03 and AMST 294-03.* What is Hip Hop culture, what is Hip Hop performance, and can we stage such a performance here at Macalester? In line with these questions, the course is divided into sections. From the beginning we will read and discuss critical examinations of hip hop culture. We will learn about leading figures and events in the development of hip hop and talk about its� sexism, homophobia and consumerism. We will investigate the theory and practice of hip hop performance, including one person shows, theatrical performances, and various hybrid forms (such as the hip-opera).This will include a series of workshops with local and national hip hop artists on graffiti writing, spoken word, hip hop dance, and dj�ing/producing, during which we will construct and present a class produced Hip Hop Performance. Limited Class enrollment. | |||||||
THDA 294-03 | Staging Hard Times: Global/Local Practices | MWF | 10:50 am-11:50 am | THEATR STUDIO | Beth Cleary | ||
n the 1930s in New York City, theater artists made galvanzing and legendary performances based on newspaper reports of repossessions and evictions. In Soweto and Johannesburg, South Africa, under the apartheid State of Emergency in the 1980s, theater activists rehearsed plays about police round-ups and passbook burnings. And in the streets of Indian cities, theater activists draw crowds to their short plays about food prices, government corruption, and housing shortages. We will look at the texts and practices of theater artists who made (and make) performance work about "hard times," through a comparative study of selected practices, contexts and time periods. How does a text read as not only reflective of its times but "resistant" or revolutionary? How do the persuasions of performance -- the action of text, body, collectivity, image -- constitute a discourse worthy of censorship or repression? Are these endeavors "merely" utopic? How does historical/political context affect such endeavors? And is it important for these endeavors to be "effective"? Who or what decides? Students will study texts (playscripts, accounts, designs, etc.) and reconstruct practices: performance research exercises, dramaturgical collectives, performer-audience relationships. Projects in the class will include several original works created in small groups, based in the practices studied, and performing contemporary "hard times." No prerequisites, though the Theatre/Dance course "Issues and Methods in Performance Studies," is recommended. | |||||||
THDA 489-01 | Performance Theory Seminar | TR | 03:00 pm-04:30 pm | THEATR 205 | Lara Nielsen | ||
*First day attendance required.* This seminar examines the vibrant and highly productive field of Performance Studies, and its attentions to theatrical, artistic, and cultural practices, focusing on the key theoretcial innovations which mobilize interest in Performance across many disciplines. In particular, we will pursue the question of performance, and performance theory, in the current era of globalization, ie: how do studies in theatre, performance, and dance engage with the many registers of thinking what Spivak calls `a planetary� arts and criticism? How do performance artists and theorists conceptualize and address formal artistic methodologies, culture, and globalization? Our premise is that all researchers are cultural producers, at once located within processes of globalization and mapping their terrains. Understanding theory as a method of doing (nothing more, nothing less) we examine some of the essential critical vocabularies for thinking the site-specific theories and practices of performance and globality together. Readings in Theatre and Performance research, in addition to Literary, Media, Anthropology, and Cultural Studies, contribute to our study of contemporary Performance Studies. | |||||||

WGSS 105-01 | Transnational Perspectives | TR | 09:40 am-11:10 am | MAIN 009 | Paige Sweet | ||
*First day attendance required.* In this course we will explore how the interlocking categories of race, class, gender, sexuality, and citizenship shape our lived experiences. We will be attentive to the global dimension of these categories and how issues such as globalization, immigration, nationhood, and technologies of communication inform the ways we understand ourselves in relation to others and as individuals. The goal of the course is to understand global feminist struggles for gender, racial, sexual, and economic equality. Toward this end, we will examine the cultural (artistic, literary, media) and material (labor, familial) forms that feminists use to advance these goals. |

*Cross-listed with AMST 112-01; First day attendance required* This interdisciplinary course offers an introduction to LGBT and queer studies. Using empirical studies, film, narratives, critical texts and various methodologies, we will trace the emergence of LGBT studies and its linkages with, and divergence from, queer theory. This critical interrogation of sexuality is one heavily influenced by feminism and social constructionist perspectives. Central to this course will be an exploration of �normativity� as it relates to sex and sexuality, how power is implicated in queer politics and sexualities, and the ways in which race, gender, nationality, and dis/ability impact and influence sexual identities and sexual subjectivities. | |||||||

* This course introduces students to contemporary feminist thought and queer studies. We will examine an array of feminist perspectives and methodologies which seek new and emergent possibilities and realities. Out of these feminist frameworks, we trace the development of queer theory. In addition to closely interrogating the intersections and antagonisms between these two fields of study, we examine their �liberatory potential� and limitations when it comes to representation and dealing with �difference.� More specifically, we explore the forms of privilege and power operating within feminism and queer studies by way of examining globalization, heterosexism, citizenship status and the intersections of race, sexuality, and gender. | |||||||

*Cross-listed with ENGL 294-01. * In this course we will examine a selection of texts from the Anglophone (English-speaking) Caribbean. We will focus on themes of family and place; memory and history; gender, race, and sexuality; and variations of Caribbean English. Readings will include short stories, novels, poems, and essays. In the course of our study we will consider how various writers use or modify traditional literary genres (novels, memoires, poems, etc.), how they incorporate or fictionalize personal experiences and historical events, the politics of standard and non-standard uses of English (and how these standards are determined), and how these factors influence representations of gender and cultural identity. | |||||||

WGSS 294-01 | Topics in Feminist Postcolonial or Postmodern Literature | TR | 03:00 pm-04:30 pm | MAIN 111 | Paige Sweet | ||
*Cross-listed with ENGL 294-02.* What is the novel? Is it a political form? Is it a popular genre? Is it gendered? Since its inception in the modern period, the novel has been one medium through which nations fashion their self-identities. But it has also been dismissed at times as a �feminine� form that lacks serious literary value. This course will examine the novel genre and its specific contours in postmodern literature. Our goal will be to trace how the novel is used as a way to articulate desire and imagine different ways that gender and sexuality might be expressed. We will be especially attentive to the norms, taboos, and transgressions that organize our understanding of gender and sexuality. At all points our readings will be informed by the historical, political, and cultural circumstances of each text and how these conditions come to bear upon female and male sexuality. | |||||||
