CONFLICTS IN ISRAELI POLITICS

Prerequisites: INSTRUCTOR PERMISSION REQUIRED
Conflicts, cleavages and contentiousness are a common feature of a democratic system of government in general. In this respect Israel is no exception. Apart from being the Start Up
Nation and the Holy Land, in the minds of many around the world Israel is associated with
conflict. Indeed, both internally and externally, Israeli politics is suffused with conflict and
continuously has to live up to the challenge of preserving democracy in the presence of conflict.
The achievements of Israel in the political, economic, international and social arenas were
facilitated by the emergence of a pattern of politics, indeed, a political culture, that puts a strong emphasis on the pursuit of political accommodation among social groupings, political parties and
ideological strands even at the expense of compromising their respective manifest interests,
aspirations and programs. Moreover, the mobilization capabilities of Israel's governments have
been remarkable by any standard. They were capable of inducing the citizens to accept willingly
such burdens as high taxation, harsh economic measures and long conscript and reserve military
service. Israel has done all these without loss of public support for its central political and social
institutions.
This class will focus on conflicts, external and internal. We will examine social, economic and
political cleavages within the state of Israel. We will study the Arab-Israeli conflict and in
particular the interaction of Israel with the Palestinians over the years. Finally, we will examine
broader circles in which Israeli foreign policy applies and in particular in the context of US-Israel
relations and in regional conflicts in the aftermath of the Arab Spring and the Iran Deal.

SOUND & IMAGE IN MODERN EAST ASIAN MUSIC

SOUND & IMAG EAST ASIAN MUS

This is a course about music as a sonic and visual cultural practice. The course investigates the social, political, and historical forces surrounding East Asian musical cultures in a global context. We’ll explore a diverse range of sounds, images and ideas across geographies. In our globalized world, it’s no longer uncommon to hear the sound of a Chinese erhu at a subway stop or to hear hip-hop at an international music festival in Tokyo. You will be exposed to a wide range of musical practices in relation to topics such as music and migration, music and politics, music and dance, the transnational circulation of music, and music in in the global market place. Examples will cover musical cultures in East Asia and its diaspora in North America. There will be a distinct emphasis on East Asian and Asian American culture in the NYC area. The course will also include guest performers, a visit to local performances in NYC, and active engagement with local musical practices. In addition, the course covers some of the themes and methods central to the field of ethnomusicology. A fieldwork-based project, which course participants develop over the course of the semester, is a central component of the course. You are expected to set aside some time each week to visit your field site. This is a reading, writing, and fieldwork intensive course. However, no previous musical training is required.

COLD WAR POWER: CULTURE AS WEAPON

COLD W POWR:CLT AS WEAPON

Cold War “soft power” ideological campaigns for the “hearts and minds of men” abutted “hot war” confrontations between 1945 and 1991 and beyond. This seminar examines the history of government and private sector mechanisms used to export national ideals and ideas about America in order to enact foreign policy agendas in contested regions. The class will open with an examination of power - hard and soft - propaganda, "truth," and "informational" practices - and then continue to explore cultural diplomacy. Primary sources including radio broadcasts, music, agriculture, and architecture are examined in the context of secondary readings about the Cold War. Because New York City became postwar “cultural capital of the world,” student trips include the Rockefeller Archives Center, the Museum of Radio and Television, Columbia University’s Avery Architectural and Fine Arts archives, and the Oral History Research Center, Rare Book and Manuscript Library.   This course has three purposes: (i) to examine the role of culture as a reflection and enactment of Cold War politics; (ii) to provide an understanding of cultural forces in building ideas in foreign markets; (iii) to reframe the understanding of “soft” and “hard” power as a strategy of Cold War battles.

POL TRANSITIONS-SOUTHEAST ASIA

What political direction is Southeast Asia taking? Over the past two decades, Indonesia has been transformed from a military-dominated semi-authoritarian state to the region’s most vigorous and open political order. Meanwhile Thailand has experienced two military coups since 2006, and early patterns of political liberalization seem to be unraveling. And Burma has gone from international pariah to prospective new democracy. , Is it possible to see any overall regional trends? Are teleological assumptions of the inexorable rise of democracy being vindicated – or does much of the evident point in just the opposite direction? The module will examine the nature of transitions (and attempted transitions) to more open political systems in Southeast Asia, with a primary focus on Burma, Indonesia, and Thailand. After a brief review of the three cases, the course will adopt a thematic approach, first reviewing the character of the state, including national mythologies, the military and the relations between capital city and provinces. It will then explore aspects of transition, including the changing political economy, the rise of electoral politics, the role of religion and media, and the phenomenon of rally politics. Challenges to national elites from the regions will also be closely scrutinised. These themes and issues have a broader relevance to wider debates in comparative politics, which students will be encouraged to explore in their papers.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES:MOVEMNT/RTS

Indigenous Peoples, numbering more that 370 million in some 90 countries and about 5000 groups and representing a great part of the world’s human diversity and cultural heritage, continue to raise major controversies and to face threats to their physical and cultural existence. The main task of this course is to explore the complex historic circumstances and political actions that gave rise to the international Indigenous movement through the human rights agenda and thus also produced a global Indigenous identity on all continents, two intertwined and deeply significant phenomena over the past fifty years.  We will analyze the achievements, challenges and potential of the dynamic interface between the Indigenous Peoples’ movement-one of the strongest social movements of our times- and the international community, especially the United Nations system. Centered on the themes laid out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), the course will examine how Indigenous Peoples have been contesting and reshaping norms, institutions and global debates in the past 50 years, re-shaping and gradually decolonizing international institutions and how they have contributed to some of the most important contemporary debates, including human rights, development,  law, and specifically the concepts of self-determination, governance, group rights, inter-culturality and pluriculturality, gender, land, territories and natural resources, cultural rights, intellectual property, health, education, the environment and climate justice. The syllabus will draw on a variety of academic literature, case studies and documentation of Indigenous organizations, the UN and other intergovernmental organizations as well as States from different parts of the world. Students will also have the opportunity to meet with Indigenous leaders and representatives of international organizations and States and will be encouraged to attend the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Select short films will be shown and discussed in class.

Then we will look at several different kinds of subcitizenship in the United States, focusing on African Americans, Native Americans, “white trash,” and Chicanos. In the course of the term we will shift between looking at the administrative practices that render people subcitizens, experiences of marginalization, and how contestations such as the DREAM Act movement, the idea of “cultural citizenship” and newly powerful indigenous movements in South America are removing control of citizenship from states, and transforming citizenship for everyone.

SURREALISM IN NEW YORK

The term “surreal” is readily used to refer to the incongruous, the uncanny, or the downright bizarre. Those adjectives provide more or less accurate descriptions of many poetic and artistic productions belonging to Surrealism, without for all that explaining the literary and theoretical underpinnings of the movement at its origins in the 1920s, or accounting for the international flowering of its ideas and its continued influence in varied cultural contexts. The class will attempt to trace the complexities of Surrealism from its modernist prehistory, through its “canonization” in the period between the two World Wars, to its diversification and waning in the 1960s. At the same time we will study how the movement’s history both produced and shadowed the shift in cultural capital from Europe to the New World, and found reverberations in some of the artistic forms (Abstract Expressionism, beat poetry,Burroughs, film) that superseded it.

CHINESE DOCUMENTARY CINEMA

What defines a “documentary” film? How do documentaries inform, provoke and move us?  What formal devices and aesthetic strategies do documentaries use to construct visions of reality and proclaim them as authentic, credible and authoritative? What can documentary cinema teach us about the changing Chinese society, and about cinema as a medium for social engagement?    This seminar introduces students to the aesthetics, epistemology and politics of documentary cinema in China from the 1940s to the present, with an emphasis on contemporary films produced in the past two decades.  We examine how documentaries contended history, registered subaltern experiences, engaged with issues of gender, ethnicity and class, and built new communities of testimony and activism to foster social change. Besides documentaries made by Chinese filmmakers, we also include a small number of films made on China by western filmmakers, including those by Joris Ivens, Michelangelo Antonioni, Frank Capra and Carma Hinton.  Topics include documentary poetics and aesthetics, evidence, performance and authenticity, the porous boundaries between documentary and fiction, and documentary ethics. As cinema is, among other things, a creative practice, in this course, students will be given opportunities to respond to films analytically and creatively, through writing as well as creative visual projects.

HUMAN RIGHTS IN ANTHROPOCENE

In August 2016, a working group of the International Geological Congress voted to acknowledge a new geological epoch, following 11,700 years of the Holocene, and that it would be called The Anthropocene. The announcement indicated a new era in the earth’s chronology marked by the consequences of human activity on the planet’s ecosystems. Closely related to discussions of sustainability, investigations into the Anthropocene tend to focus on environmental and ecological issues while ignoring its social justice dimensions. This course will investigate how Human Rights has and will be impacted by the Anthropocene, with special attention paid to the human dimensions and consequences of anthropogenic change. Do new and troubling revelations about anthropogenic mistreatment of the earth and its resources modify or amplify the kinds of responsibilities that govern activity between individuals and communities? How do we scale the human response from the urban, to the periurban, to the rural? How must the study of Human Rights evolve to address violence and mistreatment associated not just among humans but also amid human habitats? What sorts of juridical changes must occur to recognize and respond to new manifestations of social injustice that relate directly to consequences of anthropogenic changes to the Earth system? Topics will include discussions of the Environmental Justice movement, agribusiness, access to (and allocation of) natural resources, population growth; its global impact, advocacy for stronger and more accountability through environmental legal change, biodiversity in urban environments, and the growing category of environmental refugees.
