Cross-listed: History This course develops the assumptions thatamericans define their differences more through their
culture than their politics or else they politicize their cultural
differences. Those differences are sometimes muted and at others inflamed
by the role of culture in the market place. The Scopes Trial over the teaching
of evolution is a telling example. The battles over drugs, abortion rights, and
environmental justice are others. During the semester we will focus on the
development of modern media, popular culture, advertising, architecture, gender
roles, and official efforts to suppress cultural differences. The readings will
include novelists like Twain, Fitzgerald, Salinger, and others who have had a
keen sense of the sources of cultural conflicts. Class

Cross listed: Gender
& Sexuality Studies In 1848 a series of mysterious raps soon bought notoriety to
Kate and Maggie Fox, two young women from Rochester, New York and thus theamerican Spiritualist movement was born. During
the forty year period that the Fox sisters soared to fame
(and then plummeted into obscurity and ignominy when one sister claimed
the raps were faked)america experienced a myriad of
changes—abolition, women’s suffrage and great technological advances—all of
which found a connection to Spiritualism. In this course we will examine
the social, religious, economic and political forces that helped shape the
Spiritualist movement. Essential to our discussion is the work of William
James who attempted to place Spiritualism within the legitimate scientific
community. The novels of Henry James, Nathaniel Hawthorne,
and William Dean Howells will provide both a critique of Spiritualism and
demonstrate its cultural impact. The peculiar role of New York State in
the shaping of the Spiritualist movement—from the politically progressive
community of Rochester, to New York City and the Barnum Hotel—will also be a
point of interest. In an era when the telegraph sent messages over
incredible distances, Spiritualism’s assertion that messages could be sent
between two worlds interrogated the relationship between faith and science. Class size: 15
