MODERNISM

Prerequisites: Enrollment limited to 56.
Psychoanalysis, world war, and shifting gender paradigms inspire fragmented narratives, stream-of-consciousness prose, and improbable blends of erudition and the avant-garde. Stylistic innovation notwithstanding, Modernism authorizes a remarkably traditional literary canon. Special attention will be devoted to how seminal manifestos, most notably "Tradition and the Individual Talent" and
A Room of One's Own,
frame the movement's embattled aesthetics. Works by Eliot, Woolf, Barnes, Faulkner, Hemingway, Joyce, Lawrence, Pound, Stein, Toomer, and Yeats.

THE MODERN ARTS WRITER

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required.
We will examine the lineaments of critical writing. A critic blends the subjective and objective in complex ways. A critic must know the history of an artwork, its past, while placing it on the contemporary landscape and contemplating its future. A single essay will analyze, argue, describe, reflect, and interpret. And, since examining a work of art also means examining oneself, the task includes a willingness to probe one's own assumptions. The best critics are engaged in a conversation -- a dialogue, a debate -- with changing standards of taste, with their audience, with their own convictions and emotions. The best criticism is part of a larger cultural conversation. It spurs readers to ask questions rather than accept answers about art and society. We will read essays that consider six art forms: literature; film; music (classical, jazz and popular); theatre and performance; visual art; and dance. At the term's end, students will consider essays that examine cultural boundaries and divisions: the negotiations between popular and high art; the aesthetic of cruelty; the post-modern blurring of and between artist, critic and fan. The reading list will include such writers as Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, Elizabeth Hardwick (literature); James Agee, Manny Farber, Zadie Smith (film); G.B. Shaw, Willa Cather, Ralph Ellison, Lester Bangs, Ellen Willis (music); Eric Bentley, Mary McCarthy, C.L.R. James (theatre); Leo Steinberg, Frank O'Hara, Ada Louise Huxtable, Maggie Nelson (visual art); Edwin Denby, Arlene Croce, Elizabeth Kendall, Mindy Aloff (dance); Susan Sontag, Anthony Heilbut, John Jeremiah Sullivan (cultural criticism).

LITERARY REPORTER

THE LITERARY REPORTER

Prerequisites: No prerequisites required. Department approval NOT required.
The literary reporter is a changeable character.  When she's conducting immersion journalism, she lives with her sources, tries to blend with them.  Long-form narrative reporting requires her to ask difficult questions, born from exhaustive research and critical observation.  The memoirist reports from the prism of her own experience, casting herself as a character, making meaning of interviews through the fault lines of memory.  The biographer is a ventriloquist, often embodying the purpose or quest of another person, and pulling voices and stories from hints and scraps.  In this seminar, students will explore the various kinds of literary reporting inherent to various nonfiction literary forms, unearthing the strategies writers can use to elicit powerful interviews, background stories and ultimately, what it means to author another person's "truth," and discuss the delicate terrains of race, gender and political misunderstanding, interrogating our own preconceptions. Readings will include Peter Hessler, Suketu Mehta, Richard Rodriguez, Joan Didion, Janet Malcolm, and Ted Conover, as well as Julia Kristeva and Michel Foucault, and we'll read interviews with authors about their craft, to learn from their direct experience.  Students will have the opportunity to do some reporting on their own, and will write two short papers.

LOGIC OF COLLECTIVE CHOICE

Much of politics is about combining individual preferences or actions into collective choices. We will make use of two theoretical approaches. Our primary approach will be social choice theory, which studies how we aggregate what individuals want into what the collective “wants.” The second approach, game theory, covers how we aggregate what individuals want into what the group gets, given that social, economic, and political outcomes usually depend on the interaction of individual choices. The aggregation of preferences or choices is usually governed by some set of institutional rules, formal or informal. Our main themes include the rationality of individual and group preferences, the underpinnings and implications of using majority rule, tradeoffs between aggregation methods, the fairness of group choice, the effects of institutional constraints on choice (e.g., agenda control), and the implications for democratic choice. Most of the course material is highly abstract, but these abstract issues turn up in many real-world problems, from bargaining between the branches of government to campus elections to judicial decisions on multi-member courts to the allocation of relief funds among victims of natural disasters to the scoring of Olympic events. The collective choice problem is one faced by society as a whole and by the smallest group alike.

FROM LIBERALISM TO ILLIBERALISM?

ECON IDEAS&INSTS-CENT;&EAST; EUR

In Central and Eastern Europe liberalism was just one of the major streams of thought in the 19
th
century, and illiberalism is only one of the doctrines yearning for dominance today. What happened between the two cannot be squeezed into a –  Spenglerian – story of the “decline of the East” because liberal ideas had a triumphant comeback in the Western half of the region in the middle of the 20
th
century and in its Eastern half before and after 1989. Following the rise of liberal economic thought and practice in the region throughout the 19
th
century, Central and Eastern Europe chose blatantly anti-liberal (totalitarian) roads of development, national socialism and/or communism for many decades. After World War II, countries that found themselves on the Western side of the Iron Curtain managed to leave these roads, and develop a variety of models relying on the doctrine of
Soziale Marktwirtschaft
. When in 1989, countries on its Eastern side followed suit, they started flirting with more radical sorts of liberalism than most of their Western neighbors, to return to the concept of social market economy, or to slide back to soft varieties of illiberalism recently.
The course will present some of the leading economic ideas and institutions in the context of cultural encounters between the East and the West. A special emphasis will be laid on frictions between the dominant discourses of the two parties. In Central and Eastern Europe both liberalism and socialism had their powerful national(ist) versions, socialism was offset by communism, conservativism fraternized with state collectivism, and the takeover of Western concepts was often simulated rather than real.

Prerequisites: 2 years of college French
Paris may be referred to as the capital of modernity, as
the
city of romance and pleasure, as the center of social and political powers, or as a privileged stage for crises and revolutions. Analyzing and researching the meanings of these diverse representations would expose students to key aspects of French and Francophone political, social, and cultural history.
This is a proposal for a course intended for students who, having completed their language requirement in French, would like to better their knowledge of French language and society.
It would offer students the opportunity to study representations of Paris over the centuries as a way to practice writing, reading, and conversation in French and as a way to deepen their understanding of French and Francophone cultures.
Materials for the course would include major literary texts as well as paintings, movies and popular songs, but also museum websites, local newspapers and local ads, brochures from retail and food malls, restaurant menus, postcards... such variety can be utilitarian and intellectually compelling at the same time. It would allow students not only to study language registers and vocabulary contextualization but also work on finding patterns and making connections.

BRITISH LITERATURE 1900-1950

(Lecture). The beginning of the twentieth century ushered in a feeling of excitement and transformation, a desire to break with the past, and an optimism about how technology would shape the future. At the same time, devastating political and social events contributed to a sense that everything was falling apart, falling into fragments. Modernism was a movement born of crisis and conflict, and its literature struggled to redefine what art could mean in times of anxiety, alienation, or even madness. Writers to include Woolf, Joyce, Eliot, Ford, Rhys.
