Literature Humanities II

In Literature Humanities, students make sense of literary texts together, on paper and in discussion. We read significant and challenging books that require collective exploration in a seminar setting to be best understood and appreciated, books that enable us to ask questions about literature and how it works, about our place in histories and traditions, about ourselves as beings and members of a society. We read with and against the grain of canon and tradition, and we pursue understanding together, in a shared classroom community, to learn not only how to be better readers and writers but also how to be in intellectual community with one another. Over the course of the semester, students become acquainted with specific works of literature; they become aware of those works’ relations to one another; and they become conversant in the questions those works ask and the questions they make it possible for us to ask.

ELEMENTARY ITALIAN II

Ciao!
I am so thrilled that you have chosen to study Italian at Barnard. This class marks the beginning of your journey through the wonderful language, history, and culture of Italy. I am hopeful that our time together will be fruitful, informative, and fun.

Blackness and Frenchness: A Radical Gene

How have Black radicals embraced the French language and, at times, Frenchness without espousing France’s dominance and its doctrines of assimilation? This course explores the watershed moments from the past three centuries that redefine the articulations of blackness in French, in France and beyond—from revolutionary or constitutional independence in the post-colony to recent social movements in continental Europe. In addition to the opening inquiry, guiding questions for this course include but are not limited to the following. What kinds of state-sanctioned backlash in France have ensued in the face of affirmative reclamations of blackness (e.g. Négritude and Afroféminisme)?  And, what are the historical linkages between Black radicalism in France and the United States? Through an intra-imperial and inter-imperial lens, this course will center contributions from Black writers, artists, and intellectuals of divergent colonial histories with especial consideration to those for whom French and France is their native language and land.

Basic Drawing - NYC as Muse

New York City is our source of inspiration as we hone the fundamentals of visual vocabulary and handling of
drawing materials including charcoal, pencil, and ink with pen and brushes. The city’s natural setting, its social
and cultural history and urban-architectural structure inform our work as we explore various conceptual and
practical approaches to image-making as well as formal issues including line, volume, contrast, and
composition. In this time of remote learning, the experience of drawing on NYC for inspiration will be a way to
connect with the city whether you are physically in New York or not. Class assignments are accompanied by
discussions and critiques. Students draw from observation and imagination, working with a variety of sources
including still-life objects, photographs and other references.

MAKE LAB

Make Lab is for makers and the maker-curious. It is designed for all students, studying across all fields of inquiry. It is for everyone who wants to explore, experiment, and think through making. You may already be a maker and want to expand your familiarity with new tools and techniques. Or you may not have had the time or opportunity to work with a broad range of tools and materials – this course is also for those who are curious about making and design. For all, it provides a foundation to fully engage in making and to learn about the design process through your participation in workshops and directed experimentation in the Design Center.  

Utilizing the existing introductory workshops offered in the Design Center, you will be asked to expand your knowledge of different tools and technologies by attending a range of workshops over the course of the semester. The final deliverable will be a dossier (small portfolio or collection of images and text) that documents your work in the workshops as well as your design process and work from an independent project that expands on one or more techniques/tools you’ve worked with over the semester. Additional work includes a short reading response during the first week and a case study presentation of the design work of a “maker” who inspires you.
