REES CERTIFICATE COURSE SCHEDULE 4400 POSVAR HALL Spring Term 2174 (January 4, 2017 – April 29, 2017) (412) 648-7407

Courses marked with asterisks (***) require students to focus elective coursework on a REES-related subject to

count toward the certificate. This work should be arranged in consultation with the instructor and the REES

advisor. 30134 ANTH ANTH 1737 SPECIAL TOPICS IN CULTRL ANTH Begim,Ainur

Session: AT TTh 1:00:00 PM to 2:15:00 PM WWPH 3300 3 Credits

Frequently conceived as a politically and economically isolated region, Central Asia, past and present, is in fact defined by movement of

people, financial flows, and trade networks that embed Central Asia within the global economy. In the past Central Asian cities, located on

the path of the Silk Road, were key nodes of trade, communication, and innovation, connecting the East and West. Today vast natural

resources of Central Asia power the Chinese economy, and with its proximity to the Middle East, Central Asia is central to geopolitical

games played by Russia, China, the United States, and the European Union. In this course, we will examine these contemporary global

linkages anthropologically by reading ethnographic accounts of contemporary Central Asia as a ways to understand how people from the

region experience and navigate profound economic and political transformations that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. We will

read anthropological studies of the region alongside journalistic accounts and political science analyses of Central Asia as well as classic

and contemporary social theory. The goals of the course are the following: (1) to complicate the grand narratives of nationalist revival,

Islamic radicalization, and postsocialist transition; (2) to think afresh about issues of modernity, statehood, and development in the region;

and (3) to place Central Asia within the broader global context. In this course, Central Asia is broadly defined as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,

Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Xinjiang (China), Turkic Siberia (Russia), and Western Mongolia.

26042 ANTH ANTH 1737 SPECIAL TOPICS IN CULTRL ANTH Brown,Laura C

Session: AT M 9:00:00 AM to 11:55:00 AM WWPH 3300 3 Credits

Semiotic anthropology examines the social life of meaning. It extends questions of representation and interpretation beyond the study of

language to examine how culture orders and is ordered by the objects that surround us. Drawing on recent work in anthropology,

philosophy, and industrial design this course investigates four interrelated questions: How are value and meaning assigned to objects?

How does culture shape sensory perception? How are styles defined, interpreted and changed over time? How do landscapes,

infrastructure, and architecture shape possibilities for thought and action? As well as reading a range of classic and contemporary

scholarly works, students in the course will have the opportunity to experiment with methods through which ethnographers and designers

seek to document and interpret the social life of material things. Assignments for the course include a photo essay and two short papers.

No prior knowledge of anthropology or semiotics is expected. This course is open to graduate and undergraduate students from any field.

25936 CGS RUSS 90 RUSSIAN FAIRY TALES Robinson,Sabrina

Spiher

Session: SE3 Sa 1:00:00 PM to 3:55:00 PM CL 236 3 Credits

This course introduces students to Russian fairy tales, a fascinating and productive genre of folklore that reveals a great deal about

Russian traditions and modes of thought. Taking a psychological approach to the materials, the course examines not only the tales, but

also the beliefs informing the magic world of these narratives. Since the humans, spirits, and beasts populating this world are richly

portrayed in Russian art, a significant component of the course will consist of visual and audio representations of figures and scenes from

fairy tales. We shall examine slides of posters, paintings, book illustrations, postcards, etc., and shall listen to music based on characters,

situations, and narratives drawn from the tales (e.g., extracts from Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov, Chaikovsky, and Mussorgsky. This is a

Hybrid course requiring students to attend scheduled workshops and participate in online discussions and activities. Workshops dates: 1/7,

25212 CGS SLAV 660 SCI-FI: EAST AND WEST Alpert,Erin

Rebecca


This course examines Slavic and anglophone science fiction comparatively. It assesses how a given culture's dominant values are

articulated in a popular genre that enjoys different status in the East (i.e., Eastern Europe) and the West (i.e., England and America). Those

values emerge in works that imaginatively posit "fantastic" situations rooted in biological, spatial, and temporal explorations beyond those

currently verified by science. On the basis of films (e.g., "The Terminator", "The Fly"), film clips, TV shows, novels (e.g., "Solaris", "The

Futurological Congress"), novellas, and stories, we shall discuss such topics as progress, utopia, human perfectibility, the limits of science,

and the nature of knowledge. This is a Hybrid course requiring students to attend scheduled workshops and participate in online

discussions and activities. Workshops dates: 1/21, 2/18, 3/25/2017.

25213 CGS SLAV 880 VAMPIRE: BLOOD AND EMPIRE Alpert,Erin

Rebecca

Session: SE3 Sa 9:30:00 AM to 12:30:00 PM CL 302 3 Credits

This course examines the phenomenon of vampirism in verbal and visual texts from different time periods in various cultures (Russia,

Poland, France, England, America). Why do vampires capture the imagination especially of Anglophone readers? What qualities does the

vampire incarnate? Which historical events and customs have triggered particular enthusiasm for depicting the undead? How have the

depictions of the vampire evolved over centuries? Our discussions will address these issues as we analyze stories, novels, and films

focusing on vampires from a variety of critical perspectives, contextualizing the works in the cultures that produced them. This is a Hybrid

course requiring students to attend scheduled workshops and participate in online discussions and activities. Workshops dates: 1/21, 2/18,

Elliott

Session: AT TTh 1:00:00 PM to 2:15:00 PM CL 216 3 Credits

This course surveys cinematic artifacts, speeches, propaganda, and media surrounding key events and narratives of the Cold War. We will

focus on key political themes and salient events in American political history--the origins of the Cold War, what it meant to live in an

atomic age, the ideological clash between capitalism and socialism, McCarthyism, the presidential election of 1964, the Vietnam War and

its aftermath, and Ronald Reagan's rhetorical strategies for mobilizing the Soviet threat in his presidency--to chart the symbolic

dimensions of the politics of the Cold War in the interest of understanding how the Cold War helped to configure America's national

identity in the 20th century and its legacies today.

Mastrangelo

Session: AT MW 3:00:00 PM to 4:15:00 PM CL 221 3 Credits

A Knowledge of a foreign language is not required This course introduces students to translation studies, important for an understanding

of world literature. The focus is on English versions of literary and film texts in other languages. Students will consider the ways in

which talented translators render influential literature and film, especially those that have gender as a central component, including

Beauvoir's America Day by Day and The Second Sex, as well as Anzaldua's Borderlands and Franz Kafka's Amerika. We grapple with

the following questions: How do multiple English translations of the same text differ and what is the result? How does one evaluate a

translation? Does gender, for instance, in Beauvoir, pose special problems in rendering a text into another language? No pre-requisite in

foreign languages required. (satisfies GEC Writing & Lit., English Minor, Gender, Sexuality/Women's and the Latin American, as well as

the African Studies certificate requirement).

30897 GERMANIC GER 33 INTRO TO YIDDISH LANG AND CULT

Session: SE3 Th 6:00:00 PM to 8:30:00 PM CL 121 3 Credits

For hundreds of years, the majority of Jewish life happened in Yiddish. On the eve of World War II, eleven million Jews spoke this rich,

Slavic-infused Germanic language. After undergoing the demographic devastation of the Holocaust and experiencing marginalization of

all kinds, Yiddish has survived as a linguistic chain that connects modern diaspora Jewry to centuries of Jewish civilization and culture. In

addition to serving as a link to the Ashkenazic (Central- and Eastern European) Jewish past, Yiddish is key to some of the most exciting

creative and cultural developments happening in Jewish life today. This course will serve as a lively introduction to Yiddish language and

culture. By the end of the course, students will have the reading proficiency to work with basic Yiddish texts, and will be able to

understand and conduct simple conversations. Students will learn the basics of Yiddish grammar and will be conversant in Yiddish

culture, both past and present.

10668 GERMANIC GER 1502 INDO-EUROPEAN FOLKTALES Batista,Viktoria

Session: AT MW 2:00:00 PM to 2:50:00 PM CL G24 3 Credits

This course introduces students to a wide selection of Indo-European folktales as well as to perspectives and the cultural background that

help understand these tales. We will examine the aesthetic, social, historical, and psychological values that these tales reflect. We will

discuss theoretical and methodological models in the field of folklore studies, including formalist, socio-historical, psychoanalytic, and

stylistic perspectives. We will also analyze the continuing influence of this folk tradition on popular and high culture. Upon completion of

this course, students should be familiar with a wide variety of Indo-European folktales, be able to discuss several approaches to studying

them, be able to identify the most important motifs of these tales, be familiar with some of the most influential folklorists, writers, and

editors of the tales, and be able to assess the significance of folktales for contemporary western culture.The course grade will be calculated

as follows: Attendance/Participation in recitation: 20%, Quizzes: 15%, 2 in-class examinations: 40% (20% each), Final exam

(cumulative): 25%

0561 GERMANIC GER 1542 MARX AND MARXISM Von Dirke,Sabine


Having recently passed the 150th anniversary of the publication of Capital Volume 1, we recognize that our world has changed a great

deal since its publication. Yet, in reviewing many of these changes, it is not overstated to say that the works of Karl Marx have provided

the transformational impulse. Who was this person, Karl Marx? Why is it that in this post-Cold War world his writings continue both to

inspire and threaten contemporary readers? How have those inspired by Marx further developed his ideas to constitute the discourse of

Marxism? These are some of the questions that this course will raise and try to answer. We will begin with discussions of excerpts from

key works by Marx in order to assess contemporary attempts at rethinking Marxism. Special emphasis will be given to the recuperation of

Marxism since the 1960s through the Frankfurt School as well as the French and Italian tradition of autonomous Marxism. Students may

use GER 1542 toward the German Major, provided they read specifically identified works of Marx and others in German and use German

for designated writing assignments. Language of instruction and all class materials will be made available in English.

LAWRN 104 3 Credits

The course will open with a detailed consideration of the context and causes of World War II, including World War I, the Versailles

Treaty, and the Great Depression. We will discuss the determinants of Hitler's rise to power and of German expansionism in the 1930's.

We will examine the military struggle of World War II, but such topics as economic mobilization, propaganda, occupation policies,

resistance movements and the Holocaust also receive significant attention. The course concludes with an analysis of war-time diplomacy,

the postwar settlement, and the onset of the Cold War.

29960 HIST HIST 200 EAST EUROPE CIVILIZATION Livezeanu,Irina


This course introduces students to the history and culture of Eastern Europe, drawing connections between current events and the

historical past, by using historical, literary, and visual sources. Two textbooks and additional (Courseweb) readings will be assigned, as

well as weekly primary source documents and occasional maps. The course aims to familiarize students with the political geography of the

region since the early modern period to the present and the chronology of major historical events, which had an impact on Eastern Europe.

Students will be able to understand the evolution of nation-states out of multi-ethnic dynastic empires, modern nationalist movements, and

the advent and end of communism. In addition to regular reading assignments, students will view films that relate to the historical themes

under review. Evaluation will be based on homework assignments, mid-term exam, map quizzes, essays, group work, and class

participation.

29954 HIST HIST 302 SOVIET RUSSIA Hoxha,Artan

Chase,William


AM

VICTO 129 3 Credits

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was the most radical revolution in history and had a profound impact on 20th century world history. The

Bolshevik Party, which seized power in November 1917, sought not simply to change governments or the laws of the land, but to smash

the old order and to challenge the assumptions upon which all governments had hitherto ruled and all economies had been based. As we

know, the Soviet experiment did not endure. The USSR's collapse in 1992 was as unexpected as its creation. This course will survey the

history of the USSR. The course will pay particular attention to why the old order collapsed, the ideals that drove the early Soviet state, its

attempt to 'modernize' the country at a frenetic pace, the role of violence as a means of governance, its experience in WWII and its rise to

world prominence, and its postwar efforts to balance the demands of 'mature Socialism' and superpower obligations. In the process, we

will devote special attention to the state-society relations, the problems of economic development, and the tensions between revolutionary

ideas, and economic and political realities.

29961 HIST HIST 752 EMPIRES OF THE STEPPE Pickett,James R

Session: AT TTh 9:30:00 AM to 10:45:00 AM CL 358 3 Credits

Over the last several centuries, Eurasia's domination by successive nomadic steppe empires (stretching from Europe to China) was

displaced by new imperial challengers from the periphery (notably Russia, China, and Britain). This course examines the nature of that

transition by charting the history of Eurasian empires, beginning with the Mongols in the thirteenth century and proceeding through the

present day. From Ghenghis Khan to Tamerlane to Stalin; between Russian spies, Chinese armies, and the Taliban; spanning silk roads,

great games, and more. The empires of the steppe were truly vast in scale, integrating territories usually studied in isolation from one

another, and so this course provides important context for separate courses on Russia, Eastern Europe, China, and the Middle East. The

chronological scope of this course is similarly epic, spanning over seven centuries, and thus placing in relief recurring themes related to

empires in world history. The thematic emphasis is on geopolitical strategies for imperial rule, but the course will also examine culture,

religion, and political economy.

22980 HIST HIST 1000 CAPSTONE SEMINAR Reid,Patryk

Michael

Session: AT M 12:15:00 PM to 2:40:00 PM WWPH 3501 3 Credits

This course draws on the multidisciplinary training you have acquired in your pursuit of the Certificate in Russian and East European

Studies. Its goal is to build upon your learning about Eurasia to further develop your knowledge, as well as your analytical and

communication tools, by studying methods and problems of managing larger projects. Through common readings, discussion, and

drafting, you will further your understanding of major problems in Russian, East European, and Eurasian studies, while improving your

skills in academic and other professional research, report writing, and presentation. The coursework is organized around your ultimate

objective: to produce an advanced-level paper based on original research--a capstone for your work towards the REES Certificate. To

achieve these goals, the course emphasizes student discussion of course topics, assigned reading, and work in-progress. Occasionally, the

instructor will lecture to introduce topics, themes, and problems.

26051 HIST HIST 1001 INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR Wezel,Katja

Session: AT T 3:30:00 PM to 5:55:00 PM WWPH 3701 3 Credits

The Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, followed by the break-up of the Soviet Empire in Eastern Europe, and the disintegration of the Soviet

Union in 1991 was a revolutionary movement, which can be studied from very different angles: by reading Gorbachev's memoirs, by

studying leaflets of protest groups like the Polish Solidarity movement, or by watching footage of the proclamation of free travel on East

German TV. This course introduces students to a variety of primary and secondary sources including visual sources, such as photographs

and films. Students will write several short papers in response to the study of these different sources and class time will be devoted to

discussing, critiquing, and revising written work.

30536 HIST HIST 1040 WORLD WAR I-COMPARTV PERSPECTV Novosel,Anthony

Stephen

Session: SE3 W 6:00:00 PM to 8:30:00 PM LAWRN 106 3 Credits

One historian wrote, 'More trees have died to explain the Great War and its impact' than any event in history. While, we will try not to kill

any more trees, you will continue the analysis, discussion and debate concerning the Great War and its legacy that the academic and

political communities are engaged in today throughout the world.What is more, since 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the events of

1917, you have an amazing opportunity to study the legacy of that year, a year that AJP Taylor argued changed Europe irrevocably.

Therefore, beyond your background study of the war, you will make the most of this opportunity by focusing a good part of the term on

the great events of 1917. In particular, the two Russian Revolutions (February and October), Messines Ridge, Passchendaele, the USA's

entry into the War, the French Mutiny after the failed Nivelle Offensive, and the continuing slaughter at Caporetto as well as the impact of

the Balfour Declaration and the 'Proclamation of Baghdad.'Before we get to this though, in the early part of the course, we will engage

with the controversy over how and why the war began and the lively debate taking place in Europe today over how to remember the war..

We will then move on to examine 1916, 'The Year of Slaughter' and how the events of 1917 are tightly linked to the great battles of 1916

and also led to, as Eric Hobsbawm argued, Europe into its 'descent into barbarism.'In essence, you come to understand the dizzying events

of 1917, not simply as being part of a war that was 'incomprehensible,' but as one French historian put it, but a war that was 'the

incomprehensible.' Still Interested!? GREAT! So, join us as we examine all the events and processes that led Europe into war, then the

West's descent into 'barbarism' by 1916 and the world changing events of 1917. After doing all this, we will analyze the cultural and

political impact of the war on all facets of European society and world history. As part of this, you will finish the course by analyzing

how Europeans constructed a 'cultural memory' of the war, as well as dealt with the cultural act of mourning itself after the war.There are

no formal prerequisites. So, JOIN US and bring your willingness to learn, to challenge your own beliefs (That does not mean you have to

change them.) and to engage actively in the study of the Great War, in particular 1917 and its impact on the world today.

29964 HIST HIST 1050 INTELCLS & POLIT 2OTHC EUROPE Livezeanu,Irina


Intellectuals have been involved with politics, willingly or not, throughout the turbulent 20th century. This course will review some

theories about modern intellectuals' place in society and politics (e.g. Marx, Lenin, Mannheim, Bauman, Benda). Most of the course will

be taken up with case studies, examining the role of intellectuals in several European countries during periods of political stress, crisis, or

revolution including the Russian Revolutions, fascism, the two World Wars, the Cold War, and the fall of Communism. Students are

expected to participate in discussions and in group work. They will be evaluated on the basis of a mid-term exam, homework, and one or

more essays.Background in modern or contemporary European history (especially 20th century), is highly recommended. Familiarity with

social theory, philosophy, literature, and/or art history also desirable.

29966 HIST HIST 1108 COMPARATIVE EUROPEAN HISTORY Wezel,Katja


This non-honors course examines the rise and fall of ideologies in Europe's so-called "short' 20th century, beginning with the aftermath of

World War I and culminating in the collapse of the Soviet Union. The central focus of the course is on the political history of fascism and

communism, the two political ideologies in competition with liberal democracy during the short 20th century. This course will compare

developments in Western and Eastern Europe, giving special emphasis to Mussolini's Fascist Italy, Hitler's Nazi Germany, and Stalin's

Communist Soviet Union.

30159 HIST HIST 1175 XENOPHOBIA IN MODERN EUROPE Hagerty,Bernard

George Yildiz,Ali

This course will examine the nature, genesis, appeal and historical context of Europe's post-war xenophobia, racist and exclusive policies.

We will study movements ranging from France's Le Pen to Britain's skinhead, will put each in national and historical context, and will

discuss possible solutions to the problem they represent.

29968 HIST HIST 1326 RUSSIA AND THE WORLD Guillory,Sean

Christopher Jos


Debates over Russian national identity is often framed around whether Russia is an 'European,' 'Asian,' or something wholly unique, a

'Eurasian' nation. Despite these debates, Russia is often juxtaposed against Europe. Europe is the measurement of its modernization, its

political system, and its power. However, the question of where Russia fits geographically and culturally--'European,' 'Asian,' or

'Eurasian'--begs the question: What is Russia's place in world history? How have encounters not only with Europe and Asia, but Africa,

the Americas, and the Middle East shaped its place in the world over its long history? Attempting to answer these questions will help

unlock the basic, yet complex question, of what is Russia?This course will explore Russia's encounters with other major civilizational

centers in Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, the Eurasian steppe, and the Americas from the 10th to the 21st century. The class will

specifically focus on Russia's territorial expansion, colonization, long-distance trade networks, migration, cultural and political exchange,

warfare, and power projection influenced its emergence as a player in regional and global affairs.The goal of this course is to consider

how this history helps us understand not only Russia's place in the world today, but how it might help us develop ways to mitigate current

and future regional and global conflict.

25760 HIST HIST 1653 COLD WAR AMERICA IN THE WORLD Greenwald,Maurine

Session: AT TTh 9:30:00 AM to 10:45:00 AM WWPH 5200 3 Credits

This course explores the impact of the Cold War on the American home front and abroad from 1945 through 1990. We will investigate

the postwar division of the world into two opposing camps through new economic, political, and military arrangements. Of particular

interest will be America's half-century encounter with nuclear weapons, their manufacture and deleterious effects on local communities

and the environment in the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. The hunt for spies in the U.S. government, military, and entertainment industry will

focus on U.S. presidents, Senators and Representatives, the FBI, labor leaders, corporate executives, and ordinary people. We will ask

how the Cold War climate fostered or hindered social movements for racial equality, participatory democracy, and women's liberation.

The Korean and Vietnam Wars will be explored from an international perspective. Last but not least, we will look at how U.S. popular

culture engaged some of these developments. At its close, the course will ask which hallmarks of the Cold War--from military campaigns

to paranoid politics--persist in the twentieth-first century.

30139 HIST HIST 1767 JEWS & JUDAISM IN MODERN WORLD Kranson,Rachel L

Session: AT TTh 11:00:00 AM to 12:15:00 PM WWPH 5404 3 Credits

What is a 'secular Jew?' How was medieval anti-Judaism different than modern anti-Semitism? How did German Jews go from being full

citizens of their country to victims of genocide? What was the relationship between Middle Eastern Jews and European Jews during the

age of colonialism? Why did some Jews think it necessary to build a nation of their own, while others were content to be citizens of non-

Jewish states? In this course, we talk about these and other questions that are critically important not only to the history of Jews, but also

to the history of the modern world.

27754 HIST HIST 1769 HOLOCAUST HISTORY & MEMORY Kranson,Rachel L

Session: AT TTh 2:30:00 PM to 3:45:00 PM CL G13 3 Credits

The Holocaust--that is, the genocide of six million Jews in Nazi-Occupied Europe during World War II--was a critical event of the early

twentieth century that continues to resonate today. Our historical survey looks at the Holocaust primarily through the experiences of its

Jewish victims, though we discuss some of the other groups, such as the Roma, disabled people, and homosexual men, who were also

targeted and systematically murdered by the Nazis. Additionally, we will discuss the perpetrators of the Holocaust and the ideologies that

led to the genocide, such as racism, nationalism, and anti-Semitism. Finally, we move beyond the history of the Holocaust to think about

the ways that this event has been remembered and reconstructed by survivors, nations, institutions, museums, the arts, popular culture, and

the media. Looking at how institutions here in Pittsburgh commemorate the Holocaust offers us local, concrete examples of how people

continue to grapple with this history.

29976 HIST HIST 2540 EUROPEAN EMPIRES IN THE WORLD Pickett,James R

Session: AT W 3:00:00 PM to 5:25:00 PM WWPH 3701 3 Credits

This seminar offers a survey of European empires in comparative perspective. The sequence is loosely chronological, beginning with

hegemonic powers from the 16th through 18th centuries, then lingering in the long nineteenth century of European global dominance, and

ultimately examining how that age of empires shaped our own world. Geographically, it ranges from Britain to Russia to European

colonies in India, Africa, and Latin America. Thematically, the seminar singles out, first and foremost, geopolitics, but also engages topics

such as political economy, networks and exchange, warfare, and the development of 'modern' categories of knowledge. Although rooted in

historical methodology, the seminar also considers questions relevant to political science and anthropology.

29963 HISTH HIST 1048 MASS VIOLENCE IN 20TH CENTURY Thum,Gregor


'Ethnic cleansing' and 'genocide' are neither twentieth-century phenomena, nor is their occurrence linked to any particular region in the

world. However, during the two world wars and their aftermath acts the civilian population of Central and Eastern Europe experienced a

degree of mass violence that not only changed to face of the region but also led to the establishment of the very term 'genocide'. The

Holocaust stands out as the most comprehensive, most radically executed case of genocide in modern times. Yet it was embedded in a

wider context of systematic violence against various populations in Central and Eastern Europe. Rather than beginning with a general,

abstract reflection on the reasons for the various forms of mass violence from ethnic cleansing to genocide, this course allows students to

explore the specific social, cultural, and political conditions under which the sometimes entangled cases of mass violence against civilians

occurred in twentieth-century Central and Eastern Europe. The course concludes with a general reflection and discussion of the concept of

'genocide', the limits of its analytical usefulness, and the political baggage it carries.

TURKISH CULTURE & SOCIETY -- This course is an introduction to contemporary Turkish culture and society. Drawing on case

studies from literature, film, music, print and social media sources, students will examine major issues and trends that are relevant to

everyday experiences of people in Turkey. Topics may include ideological currents like secularism, Islamism, Kemalism and nationalism,

social construction of gender roles, civil society movements like 'Gezi protests,' literary figures like Orhan Pamuk, Elif Åžafak, YaÅŸar

Kemal, NazÄ±m Hikmet and Rumi, concepts of happiness in Turkish cinema and literature, musical genres and culinary traditions,

holidays and celebrations, Turkey's relations with the European Union, the Middle East, the USA and Turkish perceptions of 'the West'.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, students will explore different points of views and perspectives on these topics through critical

thinking, debate and discussion in class. The main learning objective is for students to deconstruct several aspects of Turkish culture and

society, and to better understand the diverse and layered existence of people and their experiences in Turkey. The course will be

conducted in English.

Music is present everywhere in American life. Its functions are many but are rarely articulated. This course, designed for upper-level

undergraduate students, presents a theoretical model for understanding music in cultural and historical perspectives and applies the model

to American history and to students' personal experiences. Students examine the types of organizations and environments through which

music occurs at home, in religion, public entertainment, media, and business, along with the associated roles and values of music for the

participants and consumers. Course materials include readings, recordings, musical events and current media.The course requires no prior

acquaintance with music theory, notation, or history. Students are encouraged to apply their knowledge of performing arts and other fields

of the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

The primary focus of the Capstone course will be to give students an opportunity to engage in an individual research project on a topic of

their choosing related to the EU/Europe. The instructor will work with students individually to develop the projects. Throughout the

semester, students will workshop and present parts of their projects to the class. We will spend some time at the beginning of the semester

learning about research methods and approaches to research as students develop their projects. A secondary focus of the class will be to

expose students to current events and debates in Europe as well as to careers in the EU/Europe. To meet this goal, students will be

required to attend events outside of class sponsored by the Center for European Studies and other units on campus. These may include

lectures, roundtables, video conferences, and films.

This course attempts to provide an understanding of American post-World War II foreign policy behavior. We will examine both the

international system of which the United States is a component part, as well as attributes of the U.S. domestic scene which influence

policy decisions and directions. In the process, the student will be provided with a general understanding of the chronology of recent

international events as well as a feel for the scope and substance of disagreement over various policies. The materials examined for this

class should be suggestive of alternative policy directions for the future.

Oil and other natural resources have played a crucial role in shaping the politics, development, and foreign relations of countries in all

regions of the world. While experts originally believed that natural resource wealth would be a blessing for endowed countries, we now

know they often impede economic growth, reinforce authoritarianism, exacerbate corruption, and cause conflict. This course will examine

the political economy of oil, natural gas, minerals, and other natural resources to gain insight into why they can be a blessing or a curse.

We will explore the role of governments, oil companies, OPEC, the demand for energy security, and environmental concerns in shaping

the effects of natural resources.

Why do countries democratize? What role can international actors play in promoting democracy? In this course, students will engage with

cutting edge research that seeks to answer these questions. We will focus first on the challenges and barriers to democratization, and the

symptoms of 'low quality' democracy that plague many countries around the world. We will then explore how the international community

can best promote democracy, focusing on particular tools of democracy promotion, including election monitoring, foreign aid, and post-

conflict reconstruction. Throughout the course, students will work on crafting an original research paper on a topic of their choice.

Christopher


This course is designed as an overview of the history, teachings and rituals of the Orthodox Church in its multinational context.

Geographically, Eastern Orthodox Christianity primarily includes Russia, south-eastern Europe and the coastal areas of the eastern

Mediterranean, but there is also a large Orthodox diaspora in the western hemisphere. Understanding Orthodox Christianity -- its specific

historical experience (from Byzantine and Ottoman empires to the life under communism, and beyond), its theological doctrines and

spiritual practices, its rich artistic, musical and ritual expressions -- has become increasingly relevant in the post-communist era with the

emergence of religion as an important aspect of cultural identity and national self-definition.Through lectures, discussions, oral

presentations and visits to local Orthodox churches, students will gain an insight into the multifaceted world of Orthodox Christianity.

Session: SE3 T 6:00:00 PM to 8:25:00 PM CL 129 3 Credits

This section of the Short Story will be devoted to the readings from 19th and 20th Century Russian literature. We will spend a good

portion of our class sessions discussing the readings. The authors we will read range from 19th century favorites--Pushkin, Gogol,

Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov--to 20th century masters--Babel, Zamiatin, and Zoshchenko--right up to the most popular writers in

Russia today--from Solzhenitsyn to Petrushevskaya and Tolstaya. Russians have always valued the short story as a source of wisdom and

knowledge as well as entertainment and aesthetic pleasure, as a resource for understanding themselves as individuals in a complex society,

as a means for analyzing social behavior and psychological relationships, and as a place for airing cultural issues and matters of political

and social concern. As we read and discuss these stories, we will be asking shy these authors selected the short story rather than poetry,

the novel, or drama for their inventions and fantasies, philosophies, and teachings, and why and how they expressed their views and values

as they did using particular forms of language, imagery, and narrative structures. We will compare Russian and American ideas and

values, considering both our cultural similarities and differences. We will both discuss the shared themes expressed in these stories and try

to identify their particular national stereotypes and peculiar "Russian" characteristics. We will examine common and uncommon emotions

and passions, customs, and mores, beliefs, fantasies, and dreams. Finally, we will attempt to draw conclusions about our own values,

feelings, assumptions, reactions, and prejudices and their sources as we respond to the expressions of issues and problems raised in the

short story literature of a different and fascinating culture.

10192 SLAVIC RUSS 810 MASTERPIECES 20THC RUSSIAN LIT Manukyan,Kathleen


This survey will follow the same format as Russian 0800, except that the readings will focus on four major twentieth century writers: Bely

(Petersburg), Pasternak (Dr. Zhivago), Babel (Red Calvary), and Solzhenitsyn (Ivan Denisovich). Stories of more contemporary writers

will also be read, including Bitov, Trifonov, Iskander, Sinyavsky, Petrushevskaya, Tolstaya, Shukshin, and Voinovich, depending on

availability. Emphasis will be placed on the variety of prose narratives popular in the twentieth century, and on the emergence of new

problems and perspectives and their expression in the twentieth century. This course is offered both as a sequel of Russian 0800 and as a

separate course. It will presume some knowledge of literary styles, forms and devices which were discussed in Russian 0800, or in another

equivalent literature course. A course in Russian or Soviet history is recommended, though not required. Students will be expected to

revise their papers.

11243 SLAVIC RUSS 811 MADNESS & MADMEN IN RUSS CULT


This course will explore the theme of madness in Russian literature and the arts from the medieval period to our days. The discussion will

include formative masterpieces by Russian writers (Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Bulgakov), and film directors

(Protazanov, Vrubel', Filonov), as well as non-fictional documents, such as Russian medical, judicial, political, and philosophical treatises

and essays on madness. Grades will be based on classroom attendance, participation, occasional quizzes, and two examination works.

Session: SE3 W 6:00:00 PM to 8:30:00 PM CL 208A 3 Credits

This course examines the mythology of adultery. Accordingly, it begins with the major European myth of adultery -- The Romance of

Tristan and Iseult. Our primary focus, however, will fall on the screen adaptations of four nineteenth-century novels of adultery:

Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter , Flaubert's Madame Bovary , Tolstoi's Anna Karenina , and Fontane's Effi Briest . In the corpus of films, we

will distinguish between novel- and myth-oriented adaptations. Additionally, we will "read" and analyze graphic novels (comic books)

based on these literary sources. Integrated into the course as cultural products of equal value, the verbal and visual texts will allow us to

realize that the novels of adultery on a par with their celluloid and graphic-novel versions constitute the multi-faceted construct resting on

the adultery myth. Exploring metamorphoses that the myth undergoes from one text to another will enable us to better understand the

roots of the modern notion of adultery. Also, we will investigate the factors that transformed the novel Anna Karenina into the all-

encompassing and the most influential narrative of adultery today.

27402 SLAVIC RUSS 1210 SUPERIOR INDIV IN LIT AND PHIL Wright,Jarrell D


In 1866, in an apartment building in St. Petersburg, Russia, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov decides to 'rid the world of evil' by

murdering an old pawnbroker with an axe. The complex actions of this young student--the protagonist of Dostoevskii's novel Crime and

Punishment (1866)--have since inspired a number of texts that address, develop, and re-cast the questions that Dostoevsky raises. Taking

Crime and Punishment as a starting point, this course will trace representations of the superior individual in monumental European texts

(literature, film, drama, and music) from the nineteenth century, with works like Tolstoi's 'The Kreutzer Sonata' (1889), through the

twentieth century, with texts such as Hesse's (1917), Camus's The Stranger (1942), and Hitchcock's Rope (1948), and ending with

contemporary works such as Kalin's film Swoon (1992) and Logan's play Never the Sinner (1999). As a supplement we will read

philosophical and theoretical works by Berdiaev, Schopenhauer, Solov'ev, Nietzsche, Sartre, and others, which specifically address the

theme of the literary Superman. We will also examine questions of adaptation as the Superman is transformed through literature, film,

philosophy, drama, and music.

This course examines the phenomenon of vampirism in verbal and visual texts from different time periods in various cultures (Russia,

Poland, France, England, America). Why do vampires capture the imagination especially of Anglophone readers? What qualities does the

vampire incarnate? Which historical events and customs have triggered particular enthusiasm for depicting the undead? How have the

depictions of the vampire evolved over centuries? Our discussions will address these issues as we analyze stories, novels, and films

focusing on vampires from a variety of critical perspectives, contextualizing the works in the cultures that produced them.

Session: AT T 2:30:00 PM to 5:25:00 PM CL 327 3 Credits

The course presents Central European filmmaking in its cultural context, and Central European culture through film. While it is structured

around Slovak and Czech filmmaking (e.g., early works by the Oscar-winning director of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and one of

the most celebrated, dazzling film experiments), the course includes a limited number of Hungarian and Polish films, as well as one

acclaimed American film based on a Czech novel for comparison. The students learn to discuss them in their cultural context against the

panorama of life in Central Europe, as well as from the American perspective. Among the most frequent comments from anonymous

course evaluations have been, "very good communication with students, the class discussions are always a high point," and "I love those

films!" You need to be able to watch subtitled films, a few with a higher incidence of nudity, and be open to having your mind shuffled

around Central Europe, from Prague to a Gypsy village, from Bratislava, to Budapest, to the valleys of the Carpathians, and back. Most

films are shown in their entirety, with discussions and handouts. They can be viewed again individually on monitors in Hillman Library.

The course requires the students to write. There are weekly assignments, a midterm paper, and a final paper; no tests or quizzes. You may

choose to skip two of the weekly assignments. The focus is both on film aesthetics, and on the social implications of the content of the

films, which was considered crucial by Central European directors, screenwriters, and audiences. Anonymous comments have said, "my

critical writing skills have improved during the course," and "writing a paper every week stimulated my thoughts and I often considered

things I normally wouldn't." Several students have honed their writing skills sufficiently to have some of their class assignments, with

additional revisions, accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
