US FOREIGN RELATIONS 1890-1990

The general object of this course is to illuminate how histories of what we think of as ‘international’ are structured by means of key concepts, foundational concepts which form (i) semantic fields constitutive of politics and policy as well as (ii) grounds for periodization. The seminar this year will be devoted, specifically, to a series of 'basic documents' of the early cold war, primary sources, chiefly U.S., which will be examined by means of close readings, ultimately with a view to problematize the conventional period known indeed as ’the cold war.' The design is thus unusual in that there will be only a single book, Melvyn Leffler’s 
Preponderance of Power
, which provides a survey of the Truman Administration and so will be a reference text for the US side, at least. The remaining materials will be available in Courseworks. (This course may not be taken concurrently with UN 2492 US Foreign Relations 1890-1990.)

THE EARLY AMERICAN REPUBLIC

The American Revolution is often imagined as a rebellion against a mighty empire that gave rise to a self-governing republic. But during the first decades of American independence, some of the new republic’s political leaders set about building an empire of their own. This introductory-level course lays out a narrative of the early American republic in which one Anglo-American empire was broken and another arose to take its place. The course also asks: at what cost came this new American empire, and what alternatives—practical, radical, or utopian—were passed over in the course of its creation?

GANDHI & HIS INTERLOCUTORS

Gandhi is in two senses an extraordinary figure: he was the most important leader of anti-imperialist movements in the twentieth century; yet, his ideas about modernity, the state, the industrial economy, technology, humanity’s place in nature, the presence of God – were all highly idiosyncratic, sometimes at odds with the main trends of modern civilization. How did a man with such views come to have such an immense effect on history? In some ways, Gandhi is an excellent entry into the complex history of modern India – its contradictions, achievements, failures, possibilities. This course will be primarily a course on social theory, focusing on texts and discursive exchanges between various perceptions of modernity in India. It will have two parts: the first part will be based on reading Gandhi’s own writings; the second, on the writings of his main interlocutors. It is hoped that through these exchanges students will get a vivid picture of the intellectual ferment in modern India, and the main lines of social and political thought that define its intellectual culture. The study in this course can be followed up by taking related courses in Indian political thought, or Indian politics or modern history. This course may not be taken as Pass/D/Fail.

COLONIAL CITIES OF THE AMERICAS

This course examines the history of cities in the Americas in the colonial era, c. 1500-1800, organized around three large themes. First, we study the precolonial origins of American urban systems, focusing especially on Mesoamerica and the Andes, and exploring questions of urban continuity, disruption and change, and the forms of indigenous cities. Second, we study various patterns of city foundations and city types across the Americas, examining Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch and French colonial urban systems. Third, we focus on the cities more closely by looking at key issues such as urban form, built environment, social structure. Specific themes include a critical analysis of the Spanish colonial grid, the baroque city, and 18th-century urban reforms, as well as race and class, urban slavery, and urban disease environments.

SOCIAL HIST OF AMER PUB HEALTH

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an historical understanding of the role public health has played in American history. The underlying assumptions are that disease, and the ways we define disease, are simultaneously reflections of social and cultural values, as well as important factors in shaping those values. Also, it is maintained that the environments that we build determine the ways we live and die. The dread infectious and acute diseases in the nineteenth century, the chronic, degenerative conditions of the twentieth and the new, vaguely understood conditions rooted in a changing chemical and human-made environment are emblematic of the societies we created. Among the questions that will be addressed are: How does the health status of Americans reflect and shape our history? How do ideas about health reflect broader attitudes and values in American history and culture? How does the American experience with pain, disability, and disease affect our actions and lives? What are the responsibilities of the state and of the individual in preserving health? How have American institutions--from hospitals to unions to insurance companies--been shaped by changing longevity, experience with disability and death?

ACTING LAB

ACTING LAB:ACTING THE SCENE

The Michael Chekhov Technique is a psychophysical approach to acting, emphasizing the connection between the actor’s body and the imagination in creating character. Unlike some acting pedagogies which encourage the actor’s personal identification with a character through the use of emotional memory, Chekhov proposes a “transpersonal” approach through investigating qualities of movement, physical sensation, relationship to space and architecture, image, archetype, and gesture. The technique bridges the divide between the “inner” and “outer” aspects of an actor’s work, and can be applied across performance genres from naturalism to the avant-garde. That is, Chekhov training uses a range of movement vocabularies to develop a distinctive set of approaches to the problem of characterization. • Unlike many courses on offer which address a particular style or genre of writing, this class undertakes the investigation of a specific acting technique, which can then be applied across a range of dramatic genres. • This technique bridges the gap between body and imagination, intellect and creativity, and so helps to develop the physical dimension of an actor's work. • The “transpersonal” approach of this technique does not engage the student’s personal psychology in creating a character.

The technique bridges the divide between the “inner” and “outer” aspects of an actor’s work, and can be applied across performance genres from naturalism to the avant-garde. That is, Chekhov training uses a range of movement vocabularies to develop a distinctive set of approaches to the problem of characterization. • Unlike many courses on offer which address a particular style or genre of writing, this class undertakes the investigation of a specific acting technique, which can then be applied across a range of dramatic genres. • This technique bridges the gap between body and imagination, intellect and creativity, and so helps to develop the physical dimension of an actor's work. • The “transpersonal” approach of this technique does not engage the student’s personal psychology in creating a character.

ARCHAEOL BEFORE THE BIBLE

This course provides a critical overview of prehistoric archaeology in the Near East (or the Levant - the geographical area from Lebanon in the north to the Sinai in the south, and from the middle Euphrates in Syria to southern Jordan). It has been designed to appeal to anthropologists, historians, and students interested in the Ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Studies. The course is divided into two parts. First, a social and political history of prehistoric and "biblical" archaeology, emphasizing how the nature of current theoretical and practical knowledge has been shaped and defined by previous research traditions and, second, how the current political situation in the region impinges upon archaeological practice. Themes include: the dominance of "biblical archaeology" and the implications for Palestinian archaeology, Islamic archaeology, the impact of European contact from the Crusades onwards, and the development of prehistoric archaeology.
