RESISTANCE & THE BLK ATLANTIC

This course investigates in-depth the significance of resistance among African-descended communities in the Anglophone, Francophone, Hispanophone and Lusophone Atlantic World from approximately 1700-1950. We will examine the genesis of resistance as it affected key historical transformations such as slavery and abolition, labor and migration, and transatlantic political organizing. The class will explore various forms of resistance to racial epistemologies, racialized labor regimes, and gendered discourses that formed a continuum of cultural and political opposition to oppression among Black Atlantic communities. The course will also reflect on how resistance plays a central role in the formation of individual and collective identities among black historical actors. Resistance will be explored as a critical category of historical analysis, and a central aspect in the making of the “Black Atlantic.”

EVAL SOURCES-ISLAMIC STUDIES

EVALUATING ISLAMIC SOURCES

This course focuses on the primarily research skills necessary in the evaluation of classical Arabic sources. Each week students are presented with a set of primary sources and asked to evaluate them in a number of ways including (but not limited to) the identification of (i) important figures, (ii) Qur'ānic and poetic references, (iii) transmission history, (v) authorship, and (iv) historical context. Class discussion draws on the results of student research to highlight those methods central to the field of Islamic studies. Students are also expected to prepare selected texts to be read and translated in class. The course culminates in an independent research project in which students critically analyze a previously unstudied primary source.

SEXUALITY IN MUSIC/DANCE CULTRS

SEXUALITY IN MUSIC AND DANCE C

The objective of this seminar is to explore sexuality in music and dance cultures through an ethnographic perspective. We will examine relevant literature in ethnomusicology, anthropology, performance studies, and in other disciplines in which ethnography is an important component of methodology. A critical concern of this seminar is to analyze the influence that the globalization of sexuality has had on academic theories and writings on the subject. To this end, we will also look at the role played by works that challenge a universalization of sexuality.
