INTRODUCTION TO URBAN STUDIES

This course is intended to be both an interdisciplinary introduction to the city and to the field of Urban Studies. As an introduction to the city, the course will address a variety of questions: What is a city? How did cities develop? How do cities function socially, politically, and economically? Why do people live in cities? What are some of the major issues facing cities in the early twenty-first century, and how can cities address these issues? As an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Urban Studies, the course will present models of how scholars approach cities from a variety of disciplinary viewpoints, including architecture, planning, law, sociology, history, archaeology, anthropology, political science, public policy, and geography. Students will learn some of the major concepts in the field of Urban Studies, and will study the works of leading scholars in the field. Students in the course will approach cities from a number of disciplines, not only through the reading, but also through assignments that take place in different locations throughout New York City.

REACTING TO THE PAST

In these seminars, students play complex historical role-playing games informed by classic texts. After an initial set-up phase, class sessions are run by students. These seminars are speaking- and writing-intensive, as students pursue their assigned roles' objectives by convincing classmates of their views. Each seminar will work with three of the following four games: 1) 
The Threshold of Democracy: Athens in 403 B.C. 
explores a pivotal moment following the defeat of Athens in the Peloponnesian War, when democrats sought to restore democracy while critics, including the supporters of Socrates, proposed alternatives. The key text is Plato's 
Republic
. 2)
Confucianism and the Succession Crisis of the Wanli Emperor 
examines a dispute between Confucian purists and pragmatists within the Hanlin Academy, the highest echelon of the Ming bureaucracy, taking 
Analects
 of Confucius as the central text. 3) 
The Trial of Anne Hutchinson
 revisits a conflict that pitted Puritan dissenter Anne Hutchinson and her supporters against Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop and the orthodox ministers of New England. Students work with testimony from Hutchinson's trial as well as the Bible and other texts. 4) 
Greenwich Village, 1913: Suffrage, Labor and the New Woman 
investigates the struggle between radical labor activists and woman suffragists for the hearts and minds of "Bohemians," drawing on foundational works by Marx, Freud, Mary Wollstonecraft, and others.

PHOTOGRAPHY: PHOTO I

(Formerly R3701) An introductory course in black-and-white photography, Photography I is required for admission to all other photo classes. Students are initially instructed in proper camera use and basic film exposure and development. Then the twice weekly meetings are divided into lab days where students learn and master the fundamental tools and techniques of traditional darkroom work used in 8x10 print production and classroom days where students present their work and through the language of photo criticism gain an understanding of photography as a medium of expression. Admitted students must obtain a manually focusing 35mm camera with adjustable f/stops and shutter speeds. No prior photography experience is required. Due to the necessity of placing a cap on the number of students who can register for our photography courses, the department provides a wait list to identify and give priority to students interested in openings that become available on the first day of class. If the class is full, sign up for the wait list at

CLASSICS OVER TIME

Artists constantly look to the past to find material to examine, criticize, take up as their own, and make new. We will spend time thinking deeply about five different groups of artists and the work they made in answer to a "classic." We will examine the source material as well as different permutations of the original. We will encounter playwrights, choreographers, filmmakers, visual artists, novelists and poets, and the critics who grappled with sometimes shocking new work woven from old threads. We will read the work of Euripides, Racine, Woolf, Shakespeare, and Auden, among other less well known writers. We will view performances and films by George Balanchine, Martha Graham, The Wooster Group, SITI Company, and Peter Greenaway. Along the way we will constantly ask how formal choices in art create meaning. We will work consistenly on our own viewing discipline, and hone our ability to articulate our thoughts about art in speech and writing. The final project will be an academic/creative hybrid; students will develop and pitch their own contemporary version of
The Tempest.
