Cross-listed: Literature (1

Mann's Dr. Faustus, with some additional
background reading in music theory (especially twelve-tone
theory). The class meetings will consist largely of
discussion. A 10 to 15 page paper
will be required, with a draft due after the second class meeting and
the final version due at the final class meeting. The grade will be
based on that paper and class participation. No pre-requisites.
This mini-course will meet three times, as follows: Wednesday, February 4, 1 – 4 p.m.; Wednesday, February 18, 1 - 4 p.m.; Wednesday, February 25, 1 - 4 p.m. |

DIVISION OF LANGUAGES & LITERATURE
Cross-listed: Human Rights, Jewish Studies Reading and discussion of selected short fiction and novels by
such major writers as Franz Kafka, Primo Levi, Tadeusz Borowski, W.G Sebald,
Aleksandar Tisma, Danilo Kis, and by two Nobel Laureates for literature, I.
B. Singer and Imre Kertesz. The Holocaust will be considered in comparison
with such other genocides of the twentieth century as the Gulag, communist
China and Cambodia and Rwanda etc. We
will debate questions about the boundaries of art incorporating unprecedented
cruelty and despair, about literature of extreme situations (the traditional
and the more experimental modes of narrative representation). We will also pay attention to
post-Holocaust reality, to the trivialization of tragedy in fashionable, simplistic
melodramas of the current mass-media culture or in political-ideological
manipulation (especially in former East European socialist countries). Not
available for on-line registration. To register for this course see Prof.
Manea on Thursday December 4th from 10:00 to 1:00 or 3:00 to 5:00 in his
office Seymour 303.
Cross-listed: Human Rights Reading and discussion of
selected fiction by such writers as Mann, Kafka, Nabokov, Camus, Singer,
Kundera, Naipaul, etc. examining the work for its literary value and as a
reflection of the issue of exile – estrangement as a fact of biography and a
way of life. The complex topics of foreignness and identity, (ethnic,
political, sexual) of rejection and loss, of estrangement and challenge, and
also of protean mutability, are discussed in connection to relevant
social-historical situations (war,
expulsion, migration) and as major literary themes. Preference given to
students moderated in Language and Literature. Not available for on-line
registration. To register for this course see Prof. Manea on Thursday
December 4th from 10:00 to 1:00 or 3:00 to 5:00 in his office Seymour 303. Schedule amendments:

DIVISION OF SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS & COMPUTING New
course:
While both morbidity and
mortality from infectious disease declined steadily during the 20th century
in developed nations, they remained constant for noninfectious diseases.
Students examine the reasons for this failure to deal more effectively with
these conditions as they study various specific diseases. Examples include
inherited diseases such as sickle-cell anemia, Huntington's disease, and
cystic fibrosis; endocrine disorders such as acromegaly; nutrional disorders
such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies; therapeutic drug addiction and
toxicities; various poisonings such as plant intoxications and rattlesnake
envenomation; cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarctions and
cerebrovascular accidents; neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease
and Alzheimer's disease; allergies; and autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia
gravis, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes mellitus. Many of the readings are
relatively nontechnical case histories, but the biology underlying each
condition is thoroughly developed. This course is of interest to those
focusing on a career in the health professions, but is also designed to
provide liberal arts students with some degree of medical literacy in these
health issues. The laboratory portion introduces students to human physiology
as it relates to disease. Prerequisites: experience in high school biology
and chemistry.
Course carries 2 credits. Schedule correction:
New
course:
Cross-listed: Science,
Technology & Society The course will be a
descriptive review of the astrophysical theories of the origin and
development of the early universe. The “standard model”, the so-called “big
bang theory” will be examined in detail, with attendant evidence and theories
of particles, fields, energy and entropy, and space-time geometry. Current
models of supernovae, quasars, black and white holes, dark matter, quantum
foam, and recent alternative models of super symmetry and superstrings will
be reviewed. Various historical notions of time, space, matter, and cause
will frame the discussions. No prior experience in collegiate science is
required. This course can be taken for distribution credit in science, but
does not meet the requirement for computational or laboratory
experience. |
