Black Shakespeare

This course examines Shakespeare’s role in shaping Western ideas about Blackness, in processes of racial formation, and in Black freedom struggle. As one of the most enduring  representations of a Black man in Western art Shakespeare’s
Othello
will be a focal point. However, this course will examine other “race” plays as well as works perceived as “race-neutral” in tandem with Black “respeakings” of Shakespeare’s works. This class is antiracist in intent and is shaped by several interlocking questions: What is Black Shakespeare? Can creators and scholars separate Shakespeare from the apparatus of white supremacy that has been built around his works? What are the challenges for BIPOC actors performing Shakespeare on the dominant stage? What are the challenges and obstacles for BIPOC scholars working on Shakespeare in academia? Can performing Shakespeare be an activist endeavor

RACE/RACISM/ANTIRACISM: STUDIES IN GLOBA

RACE/RACISM/ANTIRACISM: STUDIES IN GLOBAL THOUGHT

Recent protests against racial violence erupting across the United States have demanded that the United States address systemic injustice entrenched in its national history. The Black Lives Matter movement has extended still further, inciting communities across the globe to raise their voices against discrimination and inequality.

Rather than viewing the United States— and the north Atlantic, more generally— through an exceptionalist lens, this seminar draws on the strong transnational resonance of the Black Lives Matter movement and the compelling responses of global communities across distinct demographics and colonial histories to decenter the historical origins of race thinking and provincialize its conceptual centrality as a first step in understanding its reach and relevance as a global signifier of “difference” today.

How might we develop critical studies of race and racism that are truly global and extend beyond the historical experience of the North Atlantic, and North America in particular? Might we consider the concept history of race, commonly associated with the Atlantic World and plantation slavery as a form of historical difference proximate to other practices of social hierarchy and distinction across the modern world? How can scholarship that addresses questions of black vitality, fugitivity and Afropessimism engage productively and rigorously with questions of colonial servitude and postcolonial sovereignty that emanates from anticaste thought, ideas of Islamic universality, Pan-Africanism, or heterodox Marxisms?

An exercise in comparative thinking, this seminar will function as an interstitial home for intellectual engagements in both the Global South and North, excavating linkages between injustices perpetrated through divisions of race, caste, and minority status, as well as the conceptual innovations born from struggles against them. We are explicitly focused on the relationship between worldmaking and concept formation. Questions of historical comparison and conceptual convergence are important. So, too the forms of sociopolitical solidarity and political utopias that have arisen as a consequence of struggles against enslavement and imperialism.

Every seminar session will open with a twenty-minute discussion about political and social historical contexts. However, this is a course focused on the close and careful reading of ideas and concepts in a manner si

ADVERTISING AS CULTURE IN MODERN AND CON

ADVERTISING AS CULTURE SP

Advertising emerged in modern societies as they developed into bourgeois market economies. As a creative industry involving verbal/visual communication and technology, it is intertwined with cultural production in general, and many of its products can be seen as artistic in their own right. As it both caters to and creates a consumer public with needs and desires, it is intertwined with broad social and ideological currents, and can provide an angle for their historical analysis. This course posits analysis of a “discursive formation” that includes the language of advertising as well as literary, cinematographic, and other social languages engaging publicity as a vehicle for the study of modern/contemporary Spanish cultural history, from the birth of the modern constitutional monarchy (1812), through the Franco dictatorship (1939-75), and into the transition to present-day democracy. Topics will include the evolution and professionalization of Spanish advertising itself, advertising and aesthetics, early bourgeois reflection on art vs. commerce, the special role of women as both publicity and public, changing views on consumer culture, and marketing’s function in consolidating substate political identities.

Theatricality & the Political

This course addresses the articulation between theatricality and the political from a cross-cultural and trans-historical perspective. From the Renaissance theater to the profuse baroque, to the modernizing logics and aesthetics, to so-called “neo-baroque”, the course addresses logics and grammars within past and present dramaturgies of the social. How do certain theatrical traditions articulate with various power formations? How do these connect and complicate the relation between power and resistance, colonialism and liberation, center and periphery, particular and universal, actors and audiences? What technical apparatuses, cultural structures, ethical dispositions and bodily repertoires are mobilized? And how do old and new media technologies reconfigure protocols of stage-form in ancient and contemporary political theater?

Human Rights & Public Health: Advanced S

ADV HUMAN RTS & PUBLIC HE

As we face the triple threats of inequalities, climate change, and a pandemic, the dignity and well-being of many people are under attack or at imminent risk.  Exploring several specific issues through the lens of human rights principles and public health standards will provide students with a strong analytic framework for understanding the challenges of and potential for systemic change to address these threats.  Specifically, we will be looking at disparate health impacts and how to understand what drives the disparities; intellectual property laws and how they apply during a global crisis; the double-edged sword of digital technology particularly as it applies to health surveillance; the strengths and weaknesses of a biomedical model dominating the public health discourse; and, the politization of health policy. Specifically, we will explore systems of oppression that drive inequalities and lead to disparate health outcomes; the lack of a transnational accountability framework to address both climate change and the rights of those most impacted by it; and how a corporate-driven intellectual property regime has put access to essential medicines, including vaccines, beyond the reach of people living in poverty.  Finally, looking at reports ripped from the headlines, we will look at how the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown open the door to widespread digital surveillance with few safeguards to protect privacy rights or to address the biases in many of the algorithms driving this technology.

Memory and Democracy in Latin American A

Memory Democracy Latin A

This course examines the roles of various forms of artistic production in the ongoing struggles over historical memory and constitution (or reconstitution) of democracy in Latin America in the wake of brutal dictatorships and internal conflicts of the last 60 years, as well as the most recent authoritarian turns in the region. Through a country-based selections of case studies—from Mexico, through Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, to Peru and Colombia—we will examine practices that range from grassroots “artivism” and public-site interventions, through sanctioned and unsanctioned memorials and monuments, to official memory museums and “places of reconciliation.” We will consider how different artistic practices engage and mobilize different modes of memory—collective, official, public, counter, and living—and to what ends, and why. We will also think about
longue dureé
(that is, “long duration” as per the French historian Fernand Braudel) effects of the Spanish conquest, European colonialism, and elite nation-state formation, and their impacts on the contemporary battles over human rights, social justice, belonging, and citizenship. In addition to readings, class materials will include film, both documentary and fictional, providing an expanded insight into how different cultural forms shape and intervene into memory and history formation, and how those, in turn, constitute the imaginary and limits of “democracy.”

ANTHROP OF THE ANTHROPOCENE

ANTHRO OF THE ANTHROPOCENE

This course focuses on the political ecology of the Anthropocene. As multiple publics become increasingly aware of the extensive and accelerated rate of current global environmental change, and the presence of anthropogenesis in ever expanding circumstances, we need to critically analyze the categories of thought and action being developed in order to carefully approach this change. Our concern is thus not so much the Anthropocene as an immutable fact, inevitable event, or definitive period of time (significant though these are), but rather for the political, social, and intellectual consequences of this important idea. Thus we seek to understand the creativity of The Anthropocene as a political, rhetorical, and social category. We also aim to examine the networks of capital and power that have given rise to the current state of planetary change, the strategies for ameliorating those changes, and how these are simultaneously implicated in the rhetorical creation of The Anthropocene.

Signals: Networks, Publics, and Performa

This visual arts seminar explores the pirating, transformation, and circulation of media from the 1960s to the present. It examines the ways that media artists question public participation, democratic commitment, and collective memory. During the 1960s in the United States and abroad, the promise of networked communication prompted a consideration of global connectivity that brought artists and artworks outside of the gallery into the public sphere. Artist, often activists, explored the dissemination of information, and they commandeered messaging. Many of these artists positioned their output against mainstream media, while other artists seized existing media streams with the aim, optimistically, to alter them. Case studies include Stan VanDerBeek, Dara Birnbaum, Black Audio Collective, Tiffany Sia, Sondra Perry, and CAMP.  This course brings together seminar discussions, the practice of making, and the hosting of practitioners; it is designed to offer students an introduction to various aspects of media as it is crafted and curated within and without museum environments.

Photo as Material: A Studio Lab in Inter

Contemporary practitioners of photography often treat photos as not just images to look at but materials to manipulate. They create objects that echo the basic elements of the medium—light and lens—and use altered or expired photo paper. They assemble physical albums, fictional archives, and sculptural installations. They play with the circulation of images online, or share virtual experiences of spaces via printed images.

In this course, we will look projects from recent decades that examine and expand the parameters of photography, including works by Liz Deschenes, David Horvitz, Zoe Leonard, Allison Rossiter, Stephanie Syjuco, and Wolfgang Tillmans. Via writing exercises, material experiments, and generative prompts, students will create their own research-informed projects that push photography beyond the screen or frame and into the material world.

ETHNOGRAPHIC FIELD RESEARCH IN NYC

This course provides the aspiring anthropologist with an array of primarily qualitative methodological tools essential to successful urban fieldwork. As such, it is a practicum of sorts, where regular field assignments help build one’s ability to record and analyze social behavior by drawing on several key data collection techniques. Because we have the luxury of inhabiting a large, densely populated, international city, this class requires that you take a head-first plunge into urban anthropology. The NYC area will define the laboratory for individually- designed research projects. Be forewarned, however! Ethnographic engagement involves efforts to detect social patterns, but it is often a self-reflexive exercise, too. Readings provide methodological, analytical, and personal insights into the skills, joys, and trials that define successful field research.

Personal Identity in Parallel Universes

Imagine you travel to a parallel universe, where you happen to find a planet like the Earth, where you find a city like New York, where you find a university like Columbia University, where you find a person like you. Call that person X. You are staring at X. What is the relation between you and X, the other-worldly you? This is the famous “problem of transworld identity” hotly debated since the 1960s. In this course, we will be reading the two most influential books in contemporary analytic philosophy: Saul Kripke’s Naming and Necessity (1972) and David Lewis’s On the Plurality of Worlds (1986) – where two completely different answers are forcefully argued for. Kripke argues that you and X are one and the same person. (If you kill X, will you die?) Lewis argues that you and X are merely similar strangers. (Not unlike you encounter someone who looks like you in another country.) We will start with Ted Sider’s Four-Dimensionalism (2001) – the most influential book on what turns out to be a closely analogous problem: identity over time. All these will lead up to a completely novel theory: Five-Dimensionalism (5D), which argues that you and X are parts of the same person, like your left hand and right hand are both part of your body. According to 5D, you are five-dimensional, extended across 3D space, time, and possible worlds. You are all the possible yous. There is no prerequisite for this course.

Performances of Race & Disaster

Performances Race & Disas

Through close study of popular culture and policy, this course examines the creation and maintenance of race within and through scenes of “natural disaster.” Flood, famine, and earthquake are demonstrations of unrest and rupture that are not simply environmental but also socio-politically produced by the ongoing disaster of racial capitalism. In our efforts to uncover the ways in which race is (per)formed on stage and street as well as within the wide halls of government, we will pay close attention to the language, services, organizations, and cultural productions used to entrench the punitive differences announced and amplified by disaster. Along the way, we will also complicate that word (“disaster”) in order to listen to the voices and make space for the
bodies
of those vulnerable peoples in the U.S. and contiguous Global South.

We explore the possibilities of an ethnography of sound through a range of listening encounters: in resonant urban soundscapes of the city and in natural soundscapes of acoustic ecology; from audible pasts and echoes of the present; through repetitive listening in the age of electronic reproduction, and mindful listening that retraces an uncanniness inherent in sound. Silence, noise, voice, chambers, reverberation, sound in its myriad manifestations and transmissions.  From the captured souls of Edison’s phonography, to everyday acoustical adventures, the course turns away from the screen and dominant epistemologies of the visual for an extended moment, and does so in pursuit of sonorous objects.  How is it that sound so moves us as we move within its world, and who or what then might the listening subject be?

Climate Fictions

This course will consider numerous kinds of climate fictions, including, but not limited to, the recent literary category of prose fiction known as “cli-fi,” or climate fiction. In this course, “climate fictions” also refers to a range of ideas, assumptions, cultural narratives, and hypotheses about the Earth’s climate: in other words, frameworks constructed by humans
1
for thinking about (or not thinking about) the climatic conditions of our planetary home. These fictions might include such debatable propositions as “humans can’t change the climate,” “there’s nothing we can do about climate change,” “climate change is something that will happen in the future,” “climate change is something that will happen far away,” or “climate change is only about the weather.” “Climate fictions” also include scenarios and projections of a near-future, climate-changed world, whether those offered by scientists, by writers, or by ordinary people as they contemplate the possible trajectories of their lives and the lives of their descendants.

Thinking among these versions of “climate fictions,” we’ll consider the role of literature and the literary imagination in fashioning, interpreting, and inhabiting them. What work does the imagination do in the world, in grappling both with the worlds that humans have made, and with the boundary parameters of the Earth system that have shaped life on this planet as we have known it? How do cultural and narrative assumptions shape the work of scientists and policy-makers? How can prose fiction help readers engage with the challenges of knowledge, emotion, anticipation, judgement, and action that a warming world will require? How can climate fictions of all sorts help readers try on modes of living and other futures that we do or don’t want—or lull them into thinking that such anticipation is unnecessary or futile?

Thinking together about these questions, we will use the reading list and the seminar meetings to hone our skills of noticing, extrapolating, speculating, proposing, listening, disagreeing, concurring, and cooperating in the difficult work of confronting fear and doubt and of finding a path toward truth and perhaps even hope. You will be asked to read carefully and curiously, to test your ideas in regular informal writing and weekly seminar discussion, and to develop more polished thoughts (or dreams!) in

Law, Literature, and Gender in the Hispa

Law, Lit & Gender in Hisp

This interdisciplinary course explores the intersections between law, literature, and gender within the Hispanic world, examining how literary and legal texts shape and reflect cultural norms, identities, and power dynamics. The course will analyze key works of literature and legal texts from Spain and Latin America, paying special attention to how gender is constructed, represented, expressed, problematized or instrumentalized in legal texts and literary narratives.

Both literature and legal texts use language as their primary tool to construct meaning, navigate ambiguity, and shape social realities: style, rhetoric,  implicit and explicit narratives, form and character construction are essential in the writing of the law. Legal language, like literary language, can be ambiguous and open to interpretation. By examining how laws and legal texts are written, interpreted, used and argued, students will explore how language in both realms functions to maintain or challenge power structures related to gender.

In the last decades, Latin American and Spain have seen a wide variety of radical transformations along with striking immobilism in legal and literary treatments of gender.  A clear-cut path to  "liberation", "recognition" or "inclusion" has been problematized  not only by political, ideological and social resistance but also by  political and rhetorical uses of gender discourse as  strategies of "pink-washing" or a convenient mask to hide different sets of conflicts. "Progressive" gender discourses imported from the north have been sometimes the condition of possibility for transformation but also a problematic imposition on local social, political and symbolic structures with very different genealogies.

Through texts that address issues such as gender violence, sexual identities, family law, and women's rights, students will explore how legal and literary narratives intersect in their portrayal of gender norms. Authors from Latin America and Spain will be studied alongside legal reforms. Through these analyses, students will develop a deeper understanding of how literature and law both reflect and shape gender relations in the Hispanic world, offering nuanced perspectives on cultural and political representation, justice, identity, and power.
