21STC AM POETRY & ITS CONCERNS

21STC AM POETY & ITS CONCERNS

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required.
The lyric has often been conceived of as timeless in its content and inwardly-directed in its mode of address, yet so many poems with lasting claim on our attention point unmistakably outward, addressing the particulars of their times. This course will examine the ways in which an array of 21st poets have embraced, indicted, and anatomized their cultural and historical contexts, diagnosing society's ailments, indulging in its obsessions, and sharing its concerns. Engaging with such topics as race, class, war, death, trauma, feminism, pop culture and sexuality, how do poets adapt poetic form to provide meaningful and relevant insights without losing them to beauty, ambiguity, and music? How is pop star Rihanna a vehicle for discussing feminism and isolation? What does it mean to write about black masculinity after Ferguson? In a time when poetry's cultural relevancy is continually debated in academia and in the media, how can today's poets use their art to hold a mirror to modern living? This class will explore how writers address present-day topics in light of their own subjectivity, how their works reflect larger cultural trends and currents, and how critics as well as poets themselves have reflected on poetry's, and the poet's, changing social role. In studying how these writers complicate traditional notions of what poetry should/shouldn't do, both in terms of content and of form, students will investigate their own writing practices, fortify their poetic voices, and create works that engage directly and confidently with the world in which they are written.

WITNESS,RECORD,DOC:POETRY/TEST

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required.
This seminar takes up the terms witness, record, and document as nouns and verbs. What is poetry of witness? Documentary poetry? Poetry as (revisionist ) historical record? What labor and what ethical, political, and aesthetic considerations are required of poets who endeavor to witness, record, or document historical events or moments of trauma? How is this approach to poetry informed by or contributing to feminist theories, aesthetic innovation, and revisionist approaches to official histories? Course materials include: 1) essays that explore the poetics and politics of "poetry of witness" or "documentary poetry"; 2) a range of contemporary American Poetry that has been classified as or has productively challenged these categories; 3) and audio, video, and photographic projects on which poets have collaborated. Our encounters with this work will be guided by and grounded in conversations about ideas of "truth," "text," the power relations of "documentation," and issues of language and representation in poetry.  We will also critically examine the formal (rhyme, rhythm, diction, form, genre, point of view, imagery, etc.) and philosophical components and interventions of the work we study and create.

THE CRISIS OF THE "I"

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required.
"Things fall Apart; the centre cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." So wrote Yeats in 1919, in the shadow of the "Great" War. As the individual mind found less and less recourse to "traditional" systems of belief and natrratives of meaning, poetry in the twentieth century began to bear witness to a fracturing of the self, and this "anarchy" was reflected in both the content and the forms of "modern" poems. Through a close analysis of poems by a variety of authors, this course will investigate aesthetic strategies for representing such a fragmentation in perception and cognition, as well as the urgency of a moral dialectic in poems written in the wake of large-scale cultural traumas. We will also look at various aesthetic strategies for "recovering" from a disintegration of self, including deep-image poetics, repetition and incantation, new formalism, and narrative tensions in the lyric mode.

IMAGINING BERLIN

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission. Open to juniors & seniors.
How can one imagine a city in a piece of writing with such vividness that the place springs to life as a mythical metropolis?  The city of Berlin, which has often been at the crossroads of history in its asphalt-and-cobblestone reality, has developed a fictional life as well, inspiring countless writers.  We'll take this city as a model for writing about place, exploring the ways in which descriptions function in narrative to create a backdrop that fuels a story and provides atmospheric support for its unfolding.  To begin with, we'll read some of the important modernist works that established Berlin as a literary locus, mirroring the city's vibrant life in the early decades of the twentieth century.  Later readings will show us Berlin in its wartime and Cold War incarnations, the city bisected into East and West, followed by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and its aftermath.  Some of the narratives we'll be reading will be historical, some highly imaginative, some fantastical.  Several films will provide counterpoint.  We'll end the term with recent fictional approaches to the city by writers of several nationalities.  For the books written in languages other than English, we'll be reading with attention to the translations.  No knowledge of any language other than English required.

STUDIES IN NARRATIVE

THE ART OF THE NOVEL

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
(Seminar). The phrase "the art of the novel," a reminder that the ascension of the genre to the status of "high art" rather than merely popular entertainment is still relatively recent, comes from Henry James, himself both a novelist and an influential critic of the novel. The premise of this co-taught seminar is that it is intellectually productive to bring together the perspectives of the novelist and the critic, looking both at their differences and at their common questions and concerns. In addition to fiction and criticism by Orhan Pamuk, students will read novels by Stendhal, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. Application instructions: E-mail Professor Robbins (bwr2001@columbia.edu) with the subject heading "Art of the Novel seminar". In your message, include basic information: your name, school, major, year of study, and relevant courses taken, along with a brief statement about why you are interested in taking the course.

GIS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMNT

This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of theoretical concepts underlying GIS systems and to give students a strong set of practical skills to use GIS for sustainable development research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a system of computer software, data and analysis methods used to create, store, manage, digital information that allow us to create maps and dynamic models to analyze the physical and social processes of the world. Through a mixture of lectures, readings, focused discussions, and hands-on exercises, students will acquire an understanding of the variety and structure of spatial data and databases, gain knowledge of the principles behind raster and vector based spatial analysis, and learn basic cartographic principles for producing maps that effectively communicate a message. Student will also learn to use newly emerging web based mapping tools such as Google Earth, Google Maps and similar tools to develop on-line interactive maps and graphics. The use of other geospatial technologies such as the Global Positioning System will also be explored in this class. Case studies examined in class will draw examples from a wide ranges of GIS applications developed to assist in the development, implementation and evaluation of sustainable development projects and programs. On completion of the course, students will: 1. use a variety of GIS software programs to create maps and reports; 2. develop a sound knowledge of methods to search, obtain, and evaluate a wide variety of spatial data resources; 3. develop skills needed to determine best practices for managing spatial data resources; 4. use GIS to analyze the economic, social and environmental processes underlying the concept of building a sustainable world; 5. Gain an understanding of the limits of these technologies and make assessments of uncertainty associated with spatial data and spatial analysis models. Offered in the fall and spring.

20TH CENTURY RHETORICAL THEORY

THE PUBLIC AND ITS PROBLEMS

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
(Seminar). Today's critical conversations about the nature of the public sphere, language, identity, and power have their roots in the 20th century, when war and technological and social upheaval spurred a renaissance in rhetorical theory. We begin in 1922, when Walter Lippmann's book Public Opinion sparked a debate with venerable Columbia philosophy professor John Dewey about the ability of everyday citizens to produce healthy democracies. Does/should power reside with an elite or with the mass of citizens? How does language form identity and publics? The Lippmann-Dewey debate incited a conversation which would preoccupy rhetorical theorists throughout the century. We will study the scholars who have led major shifts in that conversation, including I.A.Richards, Kenneth Burke, Theodor Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Jugen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Gloria Anzaldua, Henry Louis Gates and Judith Butler. They animate questions that drive theorizing in literature, English education, communication technology, the sciences, and political science. Out study will move chronologically, situating major rhetorical theorists in their political and social moments to illuminate theories about the role of words and images in the negotiation of persuasion, meaning making, and the formation of the public.Application instructions: E-mail Professor Sue Mendelsohn (sem2181@columbia.edu) with the subject heading "Rhetorical Theory seminar".

MARX AT THE MARGINS

Peruvian social thinker José Carlos Mariátegui called for the invention of a Latin American Marxism that would serve as “neither blueprint nor copy” (ni calco ni copia) of its European forbearers. Rather than studying the reception of Marxist theory in Latin America, this course will examine the ways in which leftist thinkers and artists produced new theories and forms in an attempt to respond to the historic specificity of the social processes and political movements around them. Beginning with the evolution of Marx’s own thought on the potential for socialist revolution in Latin America, we will read and analyze social theory, narrative, film and ethnography in order to grasp the disjunctive and overlapping historical temporalities and social forms that characterize the articulation of capitalism in Latin America, as well as the unique political movements and theories that responded to it. In so doing, we will address questions such as the role of Spanish colonialism in the birth of the global capitalism; the co-existence and transformation of pre-capitalist and capitalist societies; the question of the nation as ideology and as political tool; the relationship between economic underdevelopment and political insurrection; and the dynamics of exploitation and political organization contemporarily. Authors to be studied include Marx, Martí, Mariátegui, Zavaleta Mercado, García Linera and Svampa, among others.

PRINTMAKING I: PHOTOGRAVURE

Prerequisites:
VIAR R1401
,
VIAR R3401
, or
VIAR R3701
.
A concise study and application of the copper plate photogravure process. Usage of current available resources substituting for materials that are no longer available for photogravure. This is a 19th century obsolete photomechanical reproduction process that is constantly challenging the ingenuity of it's practitioners to keep it alive and a viable technique in the 21st century.  The course objectives are understanding and demonstrating proficiency in the photogravure process and creation of finished printed images from the process learned. It is important for the future of this process that the students understand not only the "how", but the "why" of going through all of these procedures.
