TOPICS THROUGH GREEK FILM

This course explores issues of memory and trauma, public history and testimony, colonialism and biopolitics, neoliberalism and governmentality, and crisis and kinship, all through the medium of Greek film. It brings the Greek cinema canon (Angelopoulos, Gavras, Cacoyiannis, Koundouros, et al.) into conversation with the work of contemporary artists, documentary filmmakers, and the recent “weird wave” and asks: what kind of lens does film offer onto the study of a society’s history and contemporary predicament? The viewing and discussion of films is facilitated through a consideration of a wide range of materials, including novels, criticism, archival footage, and interviews with directors. The course does not assume any background knowledge and all films will have English subtitles. An additional 1-credit bilingual option (meeting once per week at a time TBD) is offered for students who wish to read, view, and discuss materials in Greek.

ANALYSIS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

ENERGY ANALYSIS FOR ENERGY EFF

This course is offered through the School of Professional Studies.
Best practice in energy management will always involve some level of complex engineering to survey existing conditions and predict energy savings from various improvement options. Sustainability managers need to understand how to manage and quality control that analysis and to translate the opportunity it reveals to decision makers within their organization. This class seeks to empower students to do that by providing an understanding of building systems and methods for quantitatively analyzing the performance of alternatives. At the end of this course, students will be able to be able to analyze the energy performance of an organization's buildings and operations in order to understand how it can reduce resource utilization and environmental impact. This class requires an understanding of Microsoft Excel and an enthusiasm for quantitative analysis. Although there are no prerequisites for the class, an ability to do some math is required. If you are not interested in dealing with technical information, this class is not for you. Note: This class expands on the 1st half the content for SUMA K4260 Dynamics of Energy Efficiency. There will be significant overlap of material between the two courses.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

This graduate level seminar focuses on specific medieval and early modern sources, mainly translations of Arabic sources, on materials and the making of objects in the world of Islam. It will cover issues concerning the making and shaping of precious stones and precious materials into objects of art, the working with particular materials such as glass and rock crystals, and even the making of copies and fakes. In addition, other materials like metalwork, lacquer and ceramics will be also addressed. Students will be asked to read and discuss in each of the meetings a specific tractate, which usually focuses on one particular material. The text will be critically discussed with aiming at thinking beyond the text's informative values and mainly trying to embed it within a wider context of the human knowledge of materials techniques in the pre- and early modern era.

EURO & THE "ORIENT" (711-1517)

With the Muslim expansion into the Mediterranean Basin, the capture of the Iberian Peninsula in 711, and, later on, the conquest of Sicily and South Italy by the very beginning of the 9th century, the Christian Latin West came into direct contacts with the new Muslim Empire. Moreover, diplomacy between the Carolingian and the Ottonian courts with potent Muslim powers in Baghdad and Cordoba, wars and conflicts in the age of Crusade, and extensive trade ventures between western Europe and the "Orient" in the High Middle Ages brought about a new aesthetic common language - a sort of artistic lingua franca - that strongly shaped the art of Christian Europe and that of the Muslim world, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. In this series of lectures the artistic interactions between Europe and the world of Islam will be chronologically discussed. In addition, contact zones, such as important trade centers, and particular frontier regions located on the verges of the Christian and Muslim worlds will be highlighted as the major interactive spaces for artistic exchanges and mobility of people and objects.

BOTANICAL HIST OF EUR EMPIRE

This course investigates the connection between plants and European empires from roughly 1450 to 1850. The search for spices and other Asian luxury goods compelled Europeans to cross the Atlantic. Instead, they stumbled upon continents that were new to them and held great riches of their own. They found both new plants, like tobacco and potatoes, and lands suitable for growing exotic Old World crops, like sugar and coffee. To capitalize on the riches these plants promised, empires imported slaves, destroyed civilizations, altered landscapes, and transformed cultures. Plants made the global world in which we live. In this seminar, you will meet a diverse cast of characters: monarchs who financed the search for new botanicals; seafarers and merchants who helped take them all over the world; unfree and indigenous laborers who grew them; and the everyday men, women, and children who consumed them. By considering how plants and their products were grown, bought, sold, used, and circulated, this course will provide cultural, economic, and environmental histories of European empires in the early modern era.

FREUD

Because of advances in feminist theory, infant research, clinical practice attachment theory and historical scholarship, a consensus has emerged concerning Freud's oeuvre over the past fifty years: the figure of the mother is largely absent from all aspects of his thinking. This includes his self-self analysis, case histories, theory of development and account of religion and civilization. This fact will provide our point of reference for examining the development of Freud's thought. We will first explore the biographical roots of this lacuna in Freud's thinking. We will then see how it played itself out as his long and abundant career unfolded. We will examine texts regarding all the aspects of his thinking and from the different periods of his life.

FREUD AND THE SEXUAL

The goal of the course is to introduce students to Freud's evolving thinking about sexuality, its internal problems, both those recognized by Freud and those he didn't. Infantile sexuality, polymorphous perverse sexuality, repression and unconscious mental processes will be at the center. Other themes to be emphasized include the notions of ‘après-coup', ‘psychic trauma' and ‘psychic reality'; unconscious fantasy and primal fantasy; and the conceptual tensions between mental energy and fantasy, between drive and instinct, and between the biological and the mental. About one third to one half the reading will be Freud's texts and the rest secondary sources - mostly commenting directly on Freud's theorizing but also some which show the power of the development of much that he didn't explicitly theorize (e.g. après-coup and leaning-on) and some which show how far wrong he could go. After this course, students should have not only a knowledge of some key texts, but also a solid conceptual base to be able to read and critique both Freud's texts related to sexuality and those of later psychoanalytic thinkers and, to a lesser degree, some non-psychoanalytic sexologists.

PAUSANIAS' GREEK ART

There can be no doubt that Pausanias' work, his ten books on Greece, is among the most important sources for the understanding of ancient Greek art and architecture. Modern scholarship has viewed Pausanias as an intellectual traveler, an antiquarian, an art historian or a historian of religion. His work has been called pedestrian, accurate but unimaginative, naïve, descriptive, and even the product of ekphrasis. However one would like to appreciate Pausanias, Classical archaeology and art history heavily must depend on him, since the vast majority of works of art and architecture that he describes/mentions are either entirely lost or badly preserved. The bridge seminar will attempt to bring together Pausanias' text and the results of art historical and archaeological research in major Greek cities and sanctuaries. Despite Pausanias' obvious interest in all things "ancient" and "Greek," the seminar will attempt to understand the ancient traveller as a Greek from Asia Minor who wrote his work within the political, social, and intellectual frame of second-century Roman Empire. Ultimately, the seminar will seek to understand the art, architecture, and topography of Greek cities and sanctuaries through the eyes of a Roman.

ITALY:EMIGRANTS,IMMIGRANT,TOUR

This seminar intends to examine migration from Italy with a particular attention to the United States, and migration and tourism to Italy from a global prospective. The establishment of varied enclaves of Italian emigrants abroad (especially in the USA), as well as the development of immigrants' identities in Italy today, will be analyzed. Traditional and historical ‘ethnic migration' and contemporary migrant practices will be studied and compared, while taking into consideration the noticeable range of transnational mobilities. The course will also study tourism as a well rooted industry in Italy, that plays an important role in the international tourism industry, and that keeps evolving and adapting to the challenging changes at a global level. Specific forms of tourism, such as cultural, agro-rural, and religious tourism, will be analyzed. How culture is represented and perceived in touristic spaces, how cultural traditions are reinvented to satisfy tourist expectations, and how and why ‘ethnic' stereotypes are constructed and manipulated for tourism will also be a focus in the seminar.

NARRATIVE,HEALTH & SOC JUSTICE

Narrative medicine - its practice and scholarship - is necessarily concerned with issues of trauma, body, memory, voice, and intersubjectivity. However, to grapple with these issues, we must locate them in their social, cultural, political, and historical contexts. Narrative understanding helps unpack the complex power relations between North and South, state and worker, disabled body and able-body, bread-earner and child-bearer, as well as self and the Other (or, even, selves and others). If disease, violence, terror, war, poverty and oppression manifest themselves narratively, then resistance, justice, healing, activism, and collectivity can equally be products of a narrative based approach to ourselves and the world.
