MUSIC HUMANITIES

MUSIC HUMANITIES: PARIS

HUMA1123OC. Music Humanities (Paris). 3 points.

The focus of Music Humanities is the masterpieces of Western art music in their historical and cultural contexts. The specific goals of the course are to awaken and encourage an appreciation of Western music, to help the student learn to respond intelligently to a variety of musical idioms, and to engage the student in the issues of various debates about the character and purposes of music that have occupied composers and musical thinkers since ancient times. Students become actively involved in the process of critical listening both in the classroom and in the live performances that are as central to the course in Berlin and in Paris as in New York. Using a “great works” approach, the course will look at the changing genres and styles of music, examining composers’ choices and assumptions, as well as those of their patrons and audiences, as it moves chronologically from the Middle Ages to the present.

WHAT IS CREATIVE WRITING FOR? PROSE WRIT

PROSE WRITING IN PARIS

​​​​​​
WRIT3043OC: 
What is Creative Writing For? Prose Writing in Paris
, 3 credits. 
Instructor:  
Nellie Hermann
, Adjunct Associate Professor, Barnard College; Core Faculty, Narrative Medicine; Creative Director, Columbia Narrative Medicine; Course Director, Narrative Medicine Certificate.

This course will plot a journey through a series of themes designed to examine what creative writing might be
for
as an applied practice (not only as an art): how can the tools of creative work connect us more deeply to the world around us, and therefore potentially transform any other endeavor we take on? Throughout the month, we will write and read – each week will feature a few different texts (all of them by French writers or by writers who lived in Paris)  which will form the background of the week’s work, and a particular piece of prose writing will be due at the end of that week. We will rely heavily on the city of Paris to be our teacher and guide in these various themes, and will involve the city in our explorations. In addition to the reading and generative exercises through each week, students will share one longer-form piece of writing with the group, and we will spend at least four class sessions workshopping these pieces as a group, with formal workshop letters due from students to underscore the attention they are giving to each other’s work.

WRITING THROUGH ART: POETRY IN PARIS

WRIT3045OC: 
Writing Through Art: Poetry in Paris
, 3 credits.

Instructor: 
Dorothea Lasky
, Director of MFA in Poetry Program; Associate Professor of Writing, Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

At least since the Greek poet Simonides of Ceos called "painting silent poetry and poetry painting that speaks," creative writing has existed in conversation with a variety of other art forms, particularly visual art. In this class, we will explore creative writing as an interdisciplinary practice, with an emphasis on the work of artists who create in both the visual and textual fields. Among other key critical questions, we will consider:

1. How has an intersection with visual art been important to creative writing historically?

2. How does visual experience relate to particular aspects of creative writing?

3. How can we use visual art towards our own creative process in the future, either by using visual art in writing or by incorporating illustration in the presentation of our written work?

A mix of texts—classic and contemporary poetry and prose, illuminated manuscripts, children’s picturebooks, literature that we might consider 
visually-driven
, and related scholarship­­––form the basis for our investigations, discussions, and creative work.

Endangered Languages in the Global City:

ENDANGERED LANGUAGES

LING3102W: Endangered Languages in the Global City: Lang, Culture, and Migration in Contempary NYC. 3 points.

Instructor 
Ross Perlin
, Lecturer, Department of Slavic Languages, Columbia University

Taught in English. This course counts as a 
Global Core Requirement 
at Columbia University.

Of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages – representing migrations and historical developments thousands of years old – the majority are oral, little-documented, and increasingly endangered under the onslaught of global languages like English. This course will take the unprecedented, paradoxical linguistic capital of New York City as a lens for examining how immigrants form communities in a new land, how those communities are integrated into the wider society, and how they grapple with linguistic and cultural loss. Interdisciplinary with an experiential learning component, the course will focus on texts, materials, encounters, and fieldwork with three of the city’s newest and least-studied indigenous immigrant communities (indigenous Latin Americans, Himalayans, and Central Asians).Indigeneity, though often invisible or perceived as marginal in global cities like New York, is in fact pervasive and fundamental. Cities now constitute a crucial site for understanding migration and cultural change, with language a vehicle for culture. Studying cultures only in situ (i.e. in their homelands) risks missing a crucial dimension. Students will be immersed in stateless, oral, immigrant cultures while also gaining a hands-on critical understanding of language endangerment and urban sociolinguistic research, first through field experiences and guest speakers (Endangered Language Alliance partners) and then by going out together into communities to work on projects in small teams. The Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), where the instructor is Co-Director, was formed as a non-profit research institute in 2010 as a forum for researchers, community members, activists, artists, and other New Yorkers to come together to support indigenous and minority languages. ELA’s video recordings provide first-hand testimony of endangered languages in the global city – in indigenous languages with English translation – available in few other places. Those texts will be central to this course, supplemented by the new,first-ever, detailed language map of New York City being pro

Insructor:  Frank Guridy, Dr. Kenneth and Kareitha Forde Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies.  

Taught in English. This course also counts as a
Global Core Requirement a
t Columbia University.

This course explores France’s complex racialized colonial history by encouraging students to examine the ways the country helped constitute a racialized colonial empire and the ways it created the conditions the conditions to challenge it. The course encourages students to contemplate how France has figured into the creation of the African Diaspora and how diasporic movements for freedom have shaped France. The course will build upon the concept of vernacular landscapes to encourage students to examine how these histories are memorialized, or not, in France today. Topics to be explored will include: the impact of slavery on France, including its port cities including Nantes; the intertwined character of the French and Haitian Revolutions; the convergence of anti-colonial movements in Paris during the interwar period and beyond, and the experiences of Black expatriates in the country during the twentieth century. The course’s location at Reid Hall in Paris will give students ample opportunities to students to examine the reciprocal impact between France and decolonization and freedom movements.

FREN3419OC: 
Paris l’autre
: A City in History, Film and Fiction, 3 credits
Instructor 
Thomas Dodman
, Associate Professor of French, Columbia University. 
Taught in French.

This intensive, five-week class explores lived experiences and ficFonal representaFons of Paris
in the Nineteenth and TwenFeth Centuries. Behind the hackneyed moFf of the city of love, Paris
is also the quintessenFal capital of modernity, the site of countless urban imaginaries to
discover in books, on the screen, or at a café table. The city has a rich revoluFonary heritage
and is home to innumerable upstarts and immigrants who came to the capital to “make it” (or
not). Every street is also a site of memory (and forgeRng), where the most mundane aspects of
everyday life coexist with dreams and nightmares of urban renewal. Each week we will explore
these different facets to the city, its people and built environment through historical lectures,
novels by Victor Hugo and Virgine Despentes, films by Jean-Luc Godard and Ladj Ly, as well as
visits to museums, landmarks, and an arFst studios or a subway seat from which to observe
Parisian life with Patrick Modiano and Annie Ernaux.

Prerequisites: None

Instructor:  Julia Bryan-Wilson

This course introduces the relationship between contemporary artistic practices and the Venice Biennale. The Biennale has become one of the most important international contemporary art and architecture fairs. This course will expose students to the historical, political, and cultural developments linked to the biennale from its inception in 1895 to present day. In addition to regular class meetings with slide lectures and seminar-style discussion in the classroom, students will visit exhibition spaces located in the historical pavilions of the giardini (fair gardens), the arsenale (a 16th century warehouse space now used to host sections of this contemporary art installations), and other temporary venues located throughout the city as we investigate not only the art, but also the unique spaces in which we encounter it. Beyond a focus on the history of the Venice Biennale, the course will introduce some of the key concepts of contemporary art as they have developed in the past three or so decades.

FREN3465UN: 
Auteur.es, Cinéastes
: The Women of French and Francophone Cinema, 3 credits
Instructor 
Aubrey Gabel
, Assistant Professor in French, Columbia University. ​
Taught in French.

This course tells the story of major French cinematic movements—such as expressionism, New Wave,
experimentalism, the cinéma du look, and so on—through the gaze of `“auteures,” or the women directors
who shaped Francophone film history as we know it. The first half will focus on filmmakers from the
silent era (Guy, Dulac) to the so-called “godmother of New Wave,” Agnès Varda. From the ‘70s onwards,
we will direct our attention at experimental film, and notably feminists (Akerman, Breillat) who
showcased the inner lives of everyday women and girls. The second half of the course will turn to case
studies of contemporary réalisatrices, from Clare Denis, who has seemingly made films in every genre, to
up-and-coming “first-generation” French filmmakers (Alice Diop, Mati Diop, Hafzia Herzi). Finally, the
course will conclude with recent vogue of feminist body horror. Along the way, we will attend to the
iconic actresses developed an outsized presence both on and off screen (Seyrig, Deneuve, Bardot), as well
as a “hidden archive” of cinéastes’ scripts and screen tests—or the publicity work that paid the bills.
Students will be introduced to the written and analytic genres central to film analysis today. Taught in
French with readings in French and English.

examines the way particular spaces—cultural, urban, literary—serve as sites for the production and reproduction of cultural and political imaginaries. It places particular emphasis on nationalism and the theme of the

(the city) as well as on spatial representations of and responses to notions of the Hellenic across time. What understandings of Greek culture, society, and environment emerge from cartography, scientific expeditions, archaeological excavations, and, more recently, economic and artistic commissions? In what ways does the idea of crisis (economic, environmental, public health) shape understandings of Greek everyday life and cultural production today? We will engage in a historically informed study of the “right now” and learn through collaborative work, cross-media exploration, and a project-based approach. The program will be structured around the Global Core course 
Hellenism and the Topographical Imagination
and will consist of classroom seminars centered on the study and discussion of texts, films, and cultural artifacts; site visits, fieldtrips, and walking tours; and workshop sessions, all of which will prepare students for this year’s final project—curating a permanent exhibition in the new Athens Global Center examining the neoclassical building’s important place in the capital’s cultural and political life.

MENA4100OC: Migration, Displacement and Diaspora in the Contemporary Mediterranean. 3 points. 

This course counts as a
Global Core Requirement
at Columbia University.  

This course examines the social, political and cultural history of migration in the Mediterranean, with a particular focus on France and Africa. We examine the forces that have underpinned migration in the nations of the Mediterranean rim since the 1950s and observe major transitions in policy and legal frameworks. Though migration is often treated in mainstream media as an object of policy and legislation, it is better approached as a ‘total social fact’ involving political, social, economic and cultural dimensions. With this in mind, we look at different media, genres and narrative forms in which migration has been represented and debated and grapple with questions about the relationship between lived experience and representation and between
politics and the arts.

Arts in Venice

ART IN VENICE

Prerequisites: None

Instructor: Johanna M.H. Fassl

Syllabus, Art in Venice

This course examines the art, architecture, and culture of Venice from the 14th to the 18th century. The goal of the curriculum is for students to acquire a firm visual literacy in order to read works of Venetian art and to familiarize themselves with the methods of art history. The course is set up as a field study, using the city as classroom and supporting site visits in and outside of Venice. The goal is to provide students with a solid visual knowledge and historical understanding of a set of key monuments, and to encourage them to think through the social, political, cultural, and intellectual forces at play in the creation of these works. Each day's choice of monuments is based on a walkable itinerary, visiting churches, confraternities, cloisters, palaces, and museums. Day trips include excursions to Padua and the Palladian villas in Vicenza and the Veneto.

Mediterranean Humanities II in Venice

MED HUM II IN VENICE

CLIA4600OC: Mediterranean Humanities II in Venice. 3 points. 
Prerequisite: None. Mediterranean Humanities I is not a requirement to enroll in this course. Instructor: Konstantina Zanou

What is the Mediterranean and how was it constructed and canonized as a space of civilization? A highly multicultural, multilingual area whose people represent a broad array of religious, ethnic, social and political difference, the Mediterranean has been seen as the cradle of western civilization, but also as a dividing border and a unifying confluence zone, as a sea of pleasure and a sea of death. The course aims to enhance students’ understanding of the multiple ways this body of water has been imagined by the people who lived or traveled across its shores. By exploring major works of theory, literature and cinema since 1800, it encourages students to engage critically with a number of questions (nationalism vs cosmopolitanism, South/North and East/West divides, tourism, exile and migration, colonialism and orientalism, borders and divided societies) and to ‘read’ the sea through different viewpoints. In the final analysis, Med Hum II is meant to arouse the question of what it means to stand on watery grounds and to view the world through a constantly shifting lens. The Summer version of the course is adapted to contain more material on Venice and its Mediterranean surroundings.

This course fulfills the Global Core requirement and the requirements of Columbia's Italian major and Mediterranean Studies minor. For Global Core, please note students may only receive Global Core credit for either
CLIA4500GU
or CLIA4600OC; not both.
