ECONOMIC DEVPT IN LATIN AMER

This course aims at familiarizing students with contemporary debates on Latin American economic development and its social effects. The focus of the course is comparative in perspective. Most of the readings deal, therefore, with Latin America as a region, not with individual countries. After a first lecture, which overviews long-term historical trends and debates on institutional development, it looks at market reforms as a whole. It then focuses on specific contemporary issues: macroeconomic management, trade policies, production sector trends and policies, income distribution and social policy.

CLASSICAL FIELDS & WAVES

Prerequisites:
PHYS G6092
.
This course will study the classical field theories used in electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, and elastic solid dynamics. General field theoretic concepts will be discussed, including the action, symmetries, conservation laws, and dissipation. In addition, classical field equations will be analyzed from the viewpoint of macroscopic averaging and small-parameter expansions of the fundamental microscopic dynamics. The course will also investigate the production and propagation of linear and nonlinear waves; with topics including linearized small-amplitude waves, ordinary and extraordinary waves, waves in a plasma, surface waves, nonlinear optics, wave-wave mixing, solitons, shock waves, and turbulence.

INTRO TO COMP LIT & SOCIETY

INTRO TO COMP LIT & SOC-GRAD

Please note: This course is required for ICLS graduate students, and priority will be given to these students. Generally the course fills with ICLS students each semester. Students MAY NOT register themselves for this course. Contact the ICLS office for more information at icls.columbia@gmail.com. This course was formerly numbered as G4900. This course introduces beginning graduate students to the changing conceptions in the comparative study of literatures and societies, paying special attention to the range of interdisciplinary methods in comparative scholarship. Students are expected to have preliminary familiarity with the discipline in which they wish to do their doctoral work. Our objective is to broaden the theoretical foundation of comparative studies to negotiate a conversation between literary studies and social sciences. Weekly readings are devoted to intellectual inquiries that demonstrate strategies of research, analysis, and argumentation from a multiplicity of disciplines and fields, such as anthropology, history, literary criticism, architecture, political theory, philosophy, art history, and media studies. Whenever possible, we will invite faculty from the above disciplines and fields to visit our class and share their perspectives on assigned readings. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities and explore fields and disciplines outside their primary focus of study and specific discipline.

EUROPEAN STUDIES MASTERS COLL

EUROPEAN STUDIES COLL I

This course is an introduction to the study of Europe as a unique region with a distinctive relationship to the other regions of the world. The course acquaints students with key, long-standing debates over the origin and dynamics of contemporary European society and the evolution of the European political and economic systems since the early modern period. These debates have generated an extensive literature across disciplinary, national, and regional lines that students will survey. The course thus provides professional training in both the theoretical and practical aspects of European policy-making, preparing students for careers in European affairs.

SOCI THEORY&CONTEMP; QUESTIONS

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
This course is designed for students in their first-year of the MA program in the Department of Anthropology. In it, we will explore the generative tensions within concepts of ‘the social' that have animated anthropological theory since its earliest days. Combining canonical texts with contemporary ethnography, explore foundational questions about the making and valuing of kinds of humans (and convivial non-humans) and about the production, aggregation, and disaggregation of their collectivities. Ultimately we consider the recent turn to theories of life itself in light of these longstanding questions, and along the way, we will encounter such varied ‘big thinkers' of collective life as Engels, Durkheim, Levi-Strauss, Foucault, and Harraway. We will range over a varied territory of ethnographic topics-from intimacy and personhood, to suicide, to nature/culture-each of which richly illustrates the productive problems of personhood, sociality, commensurability, and history for which anthropological theory strives to account.

SLAVIC THEORY: FORMALISM & MARXISM

SLAV THEORY:FORMALISM & MARXIS

The history of modern literary theory in the 20th c. can be told as a contest between formalist and historicizing approaches. The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in formal approaches to literature. In this most recent turn, a variety of scholars are seeking to collapse the divide between formalist and contextualist (often Marxist) approaches—to unite the study of literary form with its sociopolitical contexts. As a tradition informed by a prolonged negotiation (sometimes outright battle) between formalist and Marxist approaches, Slavic literary theory provides a rich source for thinking through this problem today. This course covers seminal contributions in this tradition (Jakobson’s poetic language, Shklovsky’s defamiliarization, Propp’s morphology, Bakhtin’s theory of the novel, Lotman’s semiotics), while also reading these texts as part of an ongoing debate with Marxist theory. The course begins with Alexander Veselovsky’s revival of poetics in the late 19th c. and concludes with recent efforts to produce a new formalist method.
