CLASSICAL JAPANESE II

Prerequisites:
Three years of college-level Japanese or the equivalent.
Eligibility:
This course is open to undergraduates, graduate students, and visiting students. This course is intended primarily for beginning students who have no prior knowledge of Classical Japanese (bungo 文語 / kobun 古文 / kogo 古語, etc.). It is designed to give students a systematic and intensive introduction to the grammar of classical Japanese. Texts are taken mainly from the Heian and medieval periods, though texts from later periods will also be introduced. It is expected that by the end of the course students will have acquired a firm foundation in classical Japanese grammar and will be able to read classical Japanese texts with the aid of a dictionary. Students will generally find that they also have an improved grasp of modern Japanese grammar and will also gain experience in using Japanese-Japanese dictionaries. The course will also include some instruction in reading cursive Japanese, primarily variant kana (hentaigana). A
sample syllabus
is available for reference.
Course Schedule:
The course will be taught Monday-Friday in a four hour block (with two short breaks), and the current plan is to hold class from 8 am to 12 noon EST. As part of the application process, applicants will be surveyed about their schedules and it is possible that some adjustments will be made to the class meeting time to accommodate participants in different time zones. The final course schedule will be determined and shared with potential students prior to when students need to confirm participation in the course. To enroll in this course, you must apply to the
Virtual Kyoto Consortium (KCJS) Summer: Classical Japanese Program
through the Center for Undergraduate Global Engagement (UGE). You are required to take Introduction to Classical Japanese II, JPNS4007OC with this course.

PUBLIC HELLENISM

Public Hellenism

The Practicum's participants will be registered for the course "Public Hellenism," which will meet daily from 10:00-11:00 (with the exception of a few days when it will meet 10:00-12:00). This course consists of three parts.The first part (weeks 1 and 2) introduces students to public humanities and Greek history and culture, is structured around an examination of 
SNFPHI projects currently underway in Greece
, and draws on the materials that these projects have produced (films, guides of best practices, theoretical texts). The second part of the course (weeks 3 and 4) is structured around workshops (on oral history, zines, archives, podcasts, online exhibitions, and game design) conducted in collaboration with Columbia programs and initiatives. These workshops are meant to provide students with the technical skills necessary to successfully pursue their own projects and to introduce them to the methods used by public humanities practitioners to connect with broad audiences. In the course's third part (weeks 5 and 6), students will work on their own projects while taking turns leading discussions with SNFPHI project leaders in Greece, Columbia faculty, and fellows of the Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris. These discussions will give students an opportunity to explore the various ways in which public humanities are practiced and also receive feedback and advice for their own projects. Throughout the course students are expected to dedicate to the Practicum 2-3 hours per day (including class time). Evaluation will be on the basis of: participation (30%); a 400-500-word project proposal (10%); the final project (30%); and a 800-1000 word how-to guide detailing the theoretical and practical parameters of a project from its conceptualization to its implementation (30%).
Course Objectives
: Students can expect to develop a foundation in Greek history, anthropology, politics, and art; exercise skills in close reading, critical thinking, and intellectual debate; engage issues in social justice, democracy, and community building, while developing skills for civic-minded work outside academia. To enroll in this course, you must apply

FIN DE SIECLE UKRAINIAN LIT

The course focuses on the emergence of modernism in Ukrainian literature in the late 19th century and early 20th century, a period marked by a vigorous, often biting, polemic between the populist Ukrainian literary establishment and young Ukrainian writers who were inspired by their European counterparts. Students will read prose, poetry, and drama written by Ivan Franko, the writers of the Moloda Muza, Olha Kobylianska, Lesia Ukrainka, and Volodymyr Vynnychenko among others. The course will trace the introduction of feminism, urban motifs and settings, as well as decadence, into Ukrainian literature and will analyze the conflict that ensued among Ukrainian intellectuals as they shaped the identity of the Ukrainian people. The course will be supplemented by audio and visual materials reflecting this period in Ukrainian culture. Entirely in English with a parallel reading list for those who read Ukrainian.

THE WRITERS OF PRAGUE

After providing an overview of the history of Prague and the Czech lands from earliest times, the course will focus on works by Prague writers from the years 1895-1938, when the city was a truly multicultural urban center. Special attention will be given to each of the groups that contributed to Prague’s cultural diversity in this period: the Austro-German minority, which held disproportionate social, political and economic influence until 1918; the Czech majority, which made Prague the capital of the democratic First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938); the German- and Czech-speaking Jewish communities, which were almost entirely wiped out between 1938 and 1945; and the Russian and Ukrainian émigré community, which—thanks in large part to support from the Czechoslovak government—maintained a robust, independent cultural presence through the 1920s and early 1930s. Through close reading and analysis of works of poetry, drama, prose fiction, reportage, literary correspondence and essays, the course will trace common themes that preoccupied more than one Prague writer of this period. In compiling and comparing different versions of cultural myth, it will consider the applicability of various possible definitions of the literary genius loci of Prague.

INTRODUCTION TO MINERALOGY I

Prerequisites: introductory geology or the equivalent, elementary college physics and chemistry, or the instructors permission. Minerals come in dazzling colors, amazing shapes and with interesting optical effects. But mineralogy is also an essential tool for the understanding of Earth evolution. Minerals represent fundamental building blocks of the Earth system and planetary bodies. Minerals form through geological and biological processes such as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary from high to low temperatures, from the deep interior to the Earth’s surface and related to volcanism, tectonics, weathering, climate and life. Minerals are one of our most important sources of information on such processes through Earth’s history. Minerals also represent important natural resources and are fundamental to the global economy and modern technology as we know it. The goal of this class is to (1) understand the physical and chemical properties of minerals, (2) learn techniques of mineral identification with an emphasis on optical mineralogy, (3) understand the relationship between minerals and the broader geological context.

ART STRIKE: MUSEUM DISSIDENTS & DISSONAN

In the aftermath of World War II, rebuilt (Axis) and surviving (Allied) museums presented themselves as havens from a violent world– places for quiet introspection and appreciation of modern art. As the world moved through peak decolonization of former empires in the 1970s, this concept of museums was challenged by artists who asked that the contemporary art wings of the museum be a space for active discourse about current events. In the last forty years, these trends have accelerated as community organizations focused on the contemporary museum as sites for their struggles around migrant labor (Guggenheim Abu Dhabi), reparations (British Museum), state violence (moCA Cleveland), decolonization (Brooklyn Museum), surveillance (M+ Hong Kong), arms trade (Whitney Museum), etc. On the other side, museums have also expanded staff diversity, education departments, non-profit activities, and the idea of the museum as an investor in communities. This seminar begins from the hypothesis that this change in museums comes from tectonic shifts in the ecosystem for contemporary art in each city: museums (staff, unionized labor, curators, education departments), audiences (students, general public), organizations (community boards, local organizations, artist collectives), funders (galleries, collectors, donors, grant agencies), and media (newspapers, blogs, tiktok, twitter, instagram). We will build an ethnography of contemporary art, concluding with a case study (museum, art project, artist collective, etc) researched by each student as their final project. We will read accounts from anthropology, art history, and museum studies, interspersed with documentations of art installations.

PAN AFRICANISM

“Pan Africanist” ideologies were very diverse from Garveyism, Negritude to the various African America, Caribbean and African discourses of “neo-pharaohnism” and “Ethiopianism.” This seminar explores how Black leaders, intellectuals, and artists chose to imagine Black (Africans and people of African descent) as a global community from the late 19th century to the present. It examines their attempts to chart a course of race, modernity, and emancipation in unstable and changing geographies of empire, nation, and state. Particular attention will be given to manifestations identified as their common history and destiny and how such a distinctive historical experience has created a unique body of reflections on and cultural productions about modernity, religion, class, gender, and sexuality, in a context of domination and oppression.

Elementary Forms of Populism: Authority,

This course ethnographically and theoretically investigates the phenomenon of populism by zeroing in on the political constellations employed in the name of “people:" religion, ethnicity, gender, affect, power, and knowledge. Taking our departure from empirical and scholarly examples from Turkey, the course also resorts to a wide range of examples, from Latin American countries to the contemporary US. We will explicitly refrain from subscribing to a classical position about populist politics, aiming to go beyond discourse analysis in order to ethnographically examine how populist practices gain legitimacy and efficacy on the ground. We will be discussing the ways in which political, social, economic relations entangle with each other, specifically focusing on the Turkish case. Are the supporters of populist movements mistaken in their perception? What is the role of “alternative facts” in establishing political legitimacy? Can experts and scientists be alternatives to populist politicians? Are the right-wing arguments embedded in the constitution of social and material worlds that liberal, progressive movements fail to question in radical ways? Ultimately, we aim to achieve an ethnographically sensitive understanding of mass politics in our contemporary moment.

HUM RIGHTS/GLOBAL ECON JUSTICE

The world economy is a patchwork of competing and complementary interests among and between governments, corporations, and civil society. These stakeholders at times cooperate and also conflict over issues of global poverty, inequality, and sustainability. What role do human rights play in coordinating the different interests that drive global economic governance? This seminar will introduce students to different structures of global governance for development, trade, labor, finance, the environment, migration, and intellectual property and investigate their relationship with human rights. Students will learn about public, private, and mixed forms of governance, analyze the ethical and strategic perspectives of the various stakeholders and relate them to existing human rights norms. The course will examine the work of multilateral organizations such as the United Nations and the International Financial Institutions, as well as international corporate and non-governmental initiatives.

Free/Unfree Labor: East Central Europe

HIST OF MOD EAST & CENTRL

The emancipation of serfs in Prussia, Habsburg monarchy and tsarist Russia (1780s to 1860s) coincided with the abolition of slavery in trans-Atlantic world. All over the globe, the acts of emancipation spurred political resistance, social movements, state actions, and economic policies that targeted former serf/slaves and generations of their descendants. What to do with the newly granted freedom animated social movements and ruling elites, entrepreneurs and peasants, national leaders and women activists. The abolition of serfdom and its historical significance in the particular context of eastern and central Europe is the keynote of the seminar. We will focus on pivotal issues of the post-emancipation modernity: unfree/free labor, industrial and agrarian development; mass emigration vs. access to ethnic nationalism. We will analyze politics of class, race and ethnicity from the Enlightement to the establishment of the Communist rule. The seminar asks: what happened to people and lands they inhabited in the wake of enserfed labor? How can we historically relate the emancipation of Eastern and Central European serfs to post-emancipation societies in other parts of the modern world? The seminar welcomes students of European history and anyone, who is interested in historical studies on bondage, labor, empire, nationalism, migrations, and social and economic policies.

African and North African Philosophy: An

What is African philosophy? Is a theory African simply because it is rooted in the political present of the continent? Is it African because it corresponds to an African cultural singularity or simply because his authors and inventors come from or live in Africa? This class will examine a) how religious traditions shape African theory b) how the influence of colonial anthropology on concepts of African culture and tradition can be challenged c) how African theory relates to African politics of decolonization, in North and ‘‘subsaharan’’ Africa. The major dialectical problem we will examine during the class is the ongoing contradiction between claims of authenticity and demands of liberation, traditionalism and modernity, religion and secularism, culturalism and Marxism.

CONTEMPORARY GLOBAL DOCUMENTAR

Documentaries are increasingly proliferating across small and large screens around the world. They circulate as market commodities, forms of entertainment, and vehicles for social change. In this seminar we will compare different national and regional contexts of contemporary documentary production, including projects created within the media industries of Mexico, Peru, India, China, Cambodia, and Israel. We will also examine how documentaries resonate locally, but can still transcend geographic borders and engage viewers across the globe. Crucial to our course will be the close analysis of how documentaries actively address civil rights struggles, oppressive government regimes, cultural trends, environmental crises, and progressive social movements to create more inclusive, equitable communities. So, too, will we examine emerging technologies (such as VR/AR), strategies of international co-production, star-studded film festivals, as well as the global reach and impact of mega studios such as Netflix and Wanda. This course fulfills the Global Core requirement.

NGOS&THE HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT

The human rights movement is one of the most successful social justice movements of our time, establishing universal principles that govern how states should treat citizens and non-citizens. The movement strengthens, and is strengthened by, a complex web of institutions, laws, and norms that constitute a functioning global system that builds on itself progressively, animated by strong NGOs. The course will address the evolution of the international human rights movement and on the NGOs that drive the movement on the international, regional and domestic levels. Sessions will highlight the experiences of major human rights NGOs and will address topics including strategy development, institutional representation, research methodologies, partnerships, networks, venues of engagement, campaigning, fundraising and, perhaps most importantly, the fraught and complex debates about adaptation to changing global circumstances.

SPOKEN ARABIC II

Prerequisites: MDES UN2202 This is an introductory course to Levantine Arabic for students who have completed two years of Standard Arabic studies, at the Intermediate level. The course is designed to further develop fluency in oral communication, through building students’ familiarity with a less formal register of Arabic, namely the Levantine dialect. The course will convert and recycle some of the previous Standard Arabic knowledge to the dialect, by comparing their prior knowledge to its dialectal counterpart; while at the same time developing students’ new communicative skills in a diverse range of contexts that are essential in any conversational interaction. The course will build students abilities to interact effectively in various areas where Levantine Arabic is spoken. In addition to varied thematic topics, the course exposes students to cultural aspects specific to the region. Additionally, the course will work on both constructing students’ knowledge of dialectal diction as well as other grammatical features of the dialects. Even though the course is designed for communication in the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking), the emphasis will be mostly on speaking and listening. No P/D/F or R credit is allowed for this class.
