First-Year Seminar II: Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Professor

 Helena Sedlackova Gibbs

Schedule

 Tu Th 1:30 pm - 2:50 pm ASP 302
Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1982) is regarded as a postmodern novel par excellence. What does this mean?  Keeping the question in mind, we will examine the novel in the view of textual strategies, the construction of the main characters, and the treatment of philosophy, history, and politics.  We will also discuss larger issues that Kundera's novel addresses, such as the question of Central Europe and the political situation in Czechoslovakia during the period depicted in the novel, as well as the time it was written and initially read. We will also consider matters of language and translation (cinematic as well). Additional readings will include further fiction and critical essays by Kundera and some of his contemporaries, Nietzsche on "eternal return," and we will view Philip Kaufmann's film of the novel.

Hieroglyphs, Emblems, Natural Magic, Eros, Forbidden Books, Heretics: Italian Academies of the Renaissance

Professor

 Nina Cannizzaro

Schedule

 Mon Wed Fr 11:30 am - 12:50 pm OLIN 308
Many of what now seem to us the most striking beliefs held by Italian thinkers of the Renaissance -- the belief in "divine madness", natural magic, "hidden wisdom," and an essential cosmic harmony underlying poems, hieroglyphs, emblems, and even mathematical formulas-- were considered both dangerous and heretical at the time, but could be discussed and explored in privately run academies (le accadmie). This course will introduce students to the canonical literature of this period within its academic, historical, and cultural context. No prior knowledge of the period is assumed. All class discussion, coursework, and primary texts are in Italian; secondary literature predominantly in English. Students must also attend a weekly lab section to review grammar and improve written and oral expression.

Prerequisite: Italian 110, 219, 245, or permission of the instructor.

 Tu Th 8:30 am - 9:50 am OLIN 203

Cross-listed: American Studies, Gender Studies, MES

Geographer Andrew Herod has argued that "it has been capitalists' success in organizing the economic and social landscape in such a way as to facilitate the production and realization of surplus value that has been key to their ability to reproduce capitalism on a daily and generational basis." Imbedded in this claim is the presumption of a historical dynamic: that the present state of global capitalism evolved from the conjoining of the built environment(space) and the social relations connected to modern economies in different ways over time. In this course, we will survey this transformation as America's economy shifted from agricultural and commercial in the colonial period, to manufacturing during the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries, and to service-oriented in recent decades by focusing on a variety of work spaces. We will examine fields, kitchens, workshops, sweatshops, docks, streets, water, retail establishments, and offices and ask the following questions: Who worked in such places? What tasks did they perform? Why and how did such work places arise, and change in importance over time? How were other aspects of the built environment, e.g., housing and infrastructure, related to the maintenance of workspaces? What has been the role of the state in supporting particular configurations of the labor landscape? What were the social and cultural meanings attached to these work locations and to their occupants? How has the emergence of new workspaces over time affected understandings of gender (masculinities and womanhood)? How have certain work sites been historically ethnicized or racialized?

2 credits The Research Practicum in Developmental Psychology is designed to give students a fuller understanding of adolescent and adult development, the research process, and how research methods and statistics are applied in collecting and analyzing data. Students enrolled in this course will participate in ongoing research in developmental psychology that involves interview, observational, and questionnaire methodologies. Although the majority of student time will be spent in supervised laboratory work, each student will also be expected to participate in weekly laboratory meetings, undertake library research, and carry out an independent research project. Open to all students with consent of the instructor.
