JAZZ STUDIES

JAZZ & AMERICAN CULTURE

(Lecture). An overview of jazz and its cultural history, with consideration of the influence of jazz on the visual arts, dance, literature, and film; an introduction to the scholarship and methods of jazz studies.  In this course we start with Ralph Ellison's suggestive proposition that many aspects of American life are "jazz-shaped." How, to begin with, might we define the music called jazz? What are its aesthetic ingredients or forms? What have been its characteristic sounds? How can we move towards a definition that sufficiently complicates the usual formulas of call-response, improvisation, and swing (or polyrhythmical complexity with an Afro-beat)--to encompass musical styles that really are quite different but which nonetheless are typically classified as jazz? With this ongoing problem of musical definition in mind, we will examine works in literature, painting, photography, film, and choreography which may be defined as "jazz works" or ones that are "jazz-shaped": which use jazz as a model or metaphor. What is jazz-like about these works? What's jazz-like about the ways they were produced? And how, to get to the other problem in the course's title--is jazz American? What is the relationship of art to nation? What is the logic of American exceptionalism? What do we make of the many international dimensions of jazz music-of, for instance, itsmany non-American practitioners? What is (or was) a jazz culture? What are (or were) its dates?

BLACK PARIS

(Lecture). An introduction to the deep engagement of peoples of African descent with the City of Light throughout the twentieth century. We will take up the full variety of black cultures that have taken shape in dialogue with Paris, including poetry, prose, journals and magazines, music, and film in English and French by African American as well as Francophone Caribbean and African artists and intellectuals. Our investigation will focus on a series of historical moments central to any understanding of black Paris: the efflorescence of the "Jazz Age" in the 1920s (especially through the many Harlem Renaissance artists who spent significant time in France); the emergence of the Négritude movement in the 1930s and 1940s (in relation to other currents such as surrealism, existentialism, and anti-imperialism); the great age of post-World War II expatriate writers such as James Baldwin and Richard Wright; and contemporary black culture in the hip hop era. Throughout the semester, we will discuss the political implications of thinking about black culture through the lens of Paris, whether at the height of the French colonial empire in the interwar period, during the US Civil Rights movement and the Algerian war of independence, or in relation to contemporary debates around religion and immigration. We will be especially attentive to ways Paris can be considered a culture capital of the African diaspora, through what Baldwin called "encounters on the Seine" among black intellectuals and artists from Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States. Readings may include fiction, poetry, and autobiography by authors such as Langston Hughes, Josephine Baker, Claude McKay, Ho Chi Minh, Aimé Césaire, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Jean-Paul Sartre, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, William Gardner Smith, Chester Himes, Melvin Van Peebles, Calixthe Beyala, Maryse Condé, and Marie NDiaye; and literary and historical scholarship by Edward Said, Tyler Stovall, Dominic Thomas, Christopher Miller, Pap Ndiaye, and Bennetta Jules-Rosette, among others. Requirements: weekly short reading responses; one take-home midterm; and one longer final research paper. Reading knowledge of French is useful but not required.

LIFE OF A CATHERAL: NOTRE-DAME

Like a great city, the cathedral brings together multiple segments of society in lively collaboration and conflict.  We will explore the three overlapping worlds of the cathedral: the world of the clergy (owners and principal users), the world of the layfolk (parishioners, townsfolk and pilgrims) and the world (most mysterious) of the architects, or master masons.  The semester is thus divided into three parts: each class will be preceded by an intense look at a specific aspect of the life of the cathedral and a reading presented by one of the participants as specified in the schedule below.   Participants in the class will also be invited to contribute to the development of a new website on the cathedral, designed for the use of Art Humanities students.

GLOBAL CAPITAL MARKETS

Prerequisites: Refer to course syllabus.
Fall: Global Capital Markets, taught by Professor S. Dastidar. This course is an introduction to capital markets and investments. It provides an overview of financial markets and teaches you tools for asset valuation that will be very useful in your future career. The extract below is from last year. While I was keen to have similar content, the class complained last year that the topics 2 and 3 were too esoteric for them. Based on what the class feels, I am probably going to replace it with general content on equities (i.e. replace 2 and 3 with 4). This course then becomes very similar to Capital Markets and Investments offered by the Business School. We will cover: 1. The pricing of fixed income securities (treasury markets, interest rate swaps, futures etc) 2. Discussions on topics in credit, foreign exchange, sovereign and securitized markets (we may drop this) 3. Private markets - private equity and hedge funds, etc. (we may drop this) 4. We shall spend some time on equity markets and their derivatives, time permitting. We will aim to take a hands-on approach in this course. The course is somewhat quantitative in nature; you should be prepared to work with data and spreadsheets. Programming is not required. Nevertheless, this is a basic foundations course, and does not assume much prior knowledge in finance. Consequently, the course emphasizes a few cardinal principles while getting into some institutional detail. The word "Global" in the title implies that the concepts we discuss are relevant to all geographies; we will rarely get into specifics of any particular region.

EAST ASIA IN THE LONG COLD WAR

This course charts the history of East Asia in the long Cold War, from 1945 to contemporary developments, focusing mainly on China, Japan and Korea, with occasional forays into Southeast Asia. What we term the “Cold War” from a narrowly Western perspective had remarkable peculiarities in the East Asian context. Not only was it actually “hot”, with frequent and bloody escalations of violence, but its chronological boundaries were, and still are, more fluid than in the United States or Europe. For East Asian countries, political forces and peoples, the Cold War was not only, and often not primarily, a global contest between two superpowers and/or ideologies. It was a struggle to redefine themselves and their place in the world after the collapse of colonial empires – European and Japanese – and during the rise of Soviet and American imperial hegemonies. This task began on the very day Japan admitted defeat, August 15th 1945. Growing American and Soviet influence and rivalry in the region profoundly reshuffled power relations, but local actors at different scales used the superpowers for their own purposes as much as they supported them. China challenged the bipolar order as early as 1960. Lastly, the dissolution of the USSR did not entail the demise of Communist regimes in Beijing and Pyongyang (or Hanoi), nor a reunification between the two Koreas and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

GLOBAL HONG KONG

This seminar examines modern world history through the lens of Hong Kong. Through readings, discussions, lectures, and a final paper, we will investigate Hong Kong’s outsized historical impact on the world—from its seizure by British forces during the First Opium War to its 1997 handover to the People’s Republic of China. We will dig into Hong Kong’s dramatic evolutions over this century and a half, from an entrepôt and migration hub to a manufacturing powerhouse and financial center. This agenda will also offer us new perspectives on the history of global capitalism and push us to interweave traditionally disconnected histories, such as that of the opium trade, the Chinese diaspora, modern Chinese politics, the Cold War and decolonization, neoliberal globalization, and China’s post-1978 development.

MERCHANTS,MKTS,MODERNITY-CHINA

From Marx's Asiatic Mode of Production to contemporary notions of Confucian capitalism, theories abound to explain China's divergence from Western patterns of political and economic development. This course critiques these theories and looks at the Chinese economy starting with its own internal logic to explore the social, cultural, institutional and political forces that underlay Chinese economic practice, the role of markets, merchants, labor, and the state in the making of modern China. No prerequisite.

WOMEN & GENDER IN KOREAN HIST

While the rise of women's history and feminist theory in the 1960s and 1970s fostered more general reevaluations of social and cultural history in the West, such progressions have been far more modest in Korean history. To introduce one of the larger challenges in current Korean historiography, this course explores the experiences, consciousness and representations of women Korea at home and abroad from premodern times to the present. Historical studies of women and gender in Korea will be analyzed in conjunction with theories of Western women's history to encourage new methods of rethinking "patriarchy" within the Korean context. By tracing the lives of women from various socio-cultural aspects and examining the multiple interactions between the state, local community, family and individual, women's places in the family and in society, their relationships with one another and men, and the evolution of ideas about gender and sexuality throughout Korea's complicated past will be reexamined through concrete topics with historical specificity and as many primary sources as possible. With understanding dynamics of women's lives in Korean society, this class will build an important bridge to understand the construction of New Women in early twentieth-century Korea, when women from all walks of life had to accommodate their "old-style" predecessors and transform themselves to new women, as well as the lives of contemporary Korean women. This will be very much a reading-and-discussion course. Lectures will review the readings in historical perspective and supplement them. The period to be studied ranges from the pre-modern time up to the turn of twentieth century, with special attention to the early modern period.
