Cross-listed: Human Rights (core course) &
Literature What is dissent and how does it manifest itself? What counts as disagreement? Are there boundaries to legitimate dissent? How do we recognize, and engage in, fundamental debates? We will explore the possibilities, strategies, and limits of dissent in a wide range of plays, ethical and political statements, and theoretical texts. We will spend most of the semester on four topics: ancient Greece, recent tyrannies and repressive societies, war and the opposition to it, and contemporary terrorism and counter-terrorism. After reading selections from Greek drama -- one of the oldest known forms of dissent -- we will focus on politics and theater from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We will discuss freedom of expression (from samizdat to hate speech to jihadi internet sites), antiwar protests in 20th century America, and the distinction between speaking and acting, drawing from extreme forms of expressions as well as texts in contemporary human rights theory. In addition to analyzing dissent, the course examines the relationship between oppositional belief and its manifestation in the form of performances. We will be especially interested in what difference performance makes, in order to understand the relation between content and form in dissent. Among the authors considered are Euripides, Sophocles, Langston Hughes, Tony Kushner, Ariel Dorfman, Vaclev Havel, Emily Mann, Arthur Miller, Naomi Wallace, Suzan-Lori Parks, Athol Fugard, August Wilson, Susan Sontag, Arundhati Roy, Emma Goldman, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Ranciejjre. This course is open to upper college students and some
sophomores with a permission of the instructors. |
DIVISION OF SOCIAL STUDIES Description correction:
A course in "culture," or, the social power of imagination. This course will trace the historical development of anthropological theories and visual studies of culture from the Nineteenth Century to the present, with special emphasis on how the concept of culture functions critically in understanding group and personal symbolism, in understanding different economic systems, and how culture effects understandings of race, gender, and sexuality. The course begins with basic analytical readings on the relation of language to the cultural construction of reality. This sets the framework for understanding how culture studies can function to unsettle certainties and provide a basic method for critical thinking and reflection. Visual anthropology and ethnographic film will be explored for the additional dimensions in method which they may provide. Then, we look at the political meaning of "culture" in relation to the historical encounter between Euro-America and its "others." We will examine the interplay between the representation of selves and cultural others within inter-cultural spheres of exchange, particularly tourism and representational media, which share certain characteristics with anthropology itself. Finally, we examine the cultural construction of gender and sexuality and explore the limits of human imagination in the study and performance of these... "things." Schedule and title change:
