MELODRAMA

MELODRAMA:RACE,GENDR,SEX,1850-

Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
(Seminar). This course examines the centrality of melodrama to modern definitions of race, gender, and sexuality by analyzing how the genre's narrative and visual devices encode the historical transformations of these identity categories. The course centers on three tropes: the pathologization of transgressive desire, sexual violence, and interracial violence. We will begin with Gone with the Wind in order to establish a vocabulary for describing melodrama's formal characteristics and then move backward to analyze the codification of the aforementioned tropes on the nineteenth-century stage. We will then examine how postwar Hollywood film uses these tropes in order to translate the dehumanization and restriction experienced by women, queers and African-Americans into feelings of melancholy and resignation which critics argue defer political critique. Our course concludes with the relationship between melodrama and identity politics by studying how post-1968 work responding to sexual assault, LGBT rights and AIDS appropriates melodramatic conventions in order to declare an explicitly political project. Texts include the dramas Camille, Tosca, The Octoroon, and Angels in America; the films Black Narcissus, The Children's Hour, Imitation of Life, and Milk; the course ends with the television serials Mad Men and Orange is the New Black. Students will also be introduced to feminist, queer and critical race scholarship on affect theory and the relation between identity politics and representation. Application instructions: E-mail the instructor (vcw2106@columbia.edu) with 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. Admitted students should register for the course; they will automatically be placed on a wait list from which the instructor will in due course admit them as spaces become available.

VICTORIAN SCI & SCI FICTION

Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
(Seminar).This course will explore how the genre of science fiction developed in dialogue with the exciting and sometimes eccentric scientific theories that emerged during the nineteenth century. How did new scientific developments such as evolutionary theory in biology, and the atomic theory in physics, reshape how writers viewed the relationships between human and animal, self and other, space and time, body and mind? Did technological and scientific progress open up utopian vistas for humanity's future, or were they more likely to lead to dystopian nightmares? How did departing from traditional realist modes enable Victorian science fiction writers to explore the ethical, social, and political implications of scientific theories? To investigate these questions, we will read major works of fiction by such authors as George Eliot, H.G. Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Morris, Jules Verne, and others alongside selections of scientific prose in such fields of Victorian science as biology, physics, mathematics, and psychology. Application instructions: E-mail the instructor (rjh2138@columbia.edu) with 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.

UKRAINE HIST:UNMAKING SOV EMP

Until its declaration of independence in 1991, Ukraine, Europe’s second-largest country, has been divided and controlled by Russia, Lithuania, Poland, Austria, Turkey and the Soviet Union. As a result, a history of Ukraine was interpreted as an integral component of the historical narratives of these neighboring countries, which governed the parts of Ukrainian territory. The Russian Empire and then the USSR have maintained their political control over Ukraine since 1654 until 1991, during the longest period of Ukrainian history. Eventually, the Russian and subsequently Soviet historical narrative prevailed in the interpretation of the Ukrainian past. In this interpretation, Ukraine lost its independent historical existence. Unfortunately, this Russian/Soviet historical narrative was adopted by historians in the West, particularly in the United States. Moreover, this narrative also ignored the crucial role of Ukraine not only in a formation of the medieval Russian civilization, beginning with Kievan Rus, but also in unmaking the Russian Empire in 1917, the Soviet Union in 1991, and its successor, the Commonwealth of Independent States, following Maidan Revolution and Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014.

THE CRAFT OF WRITING DIALOGUE

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Departmental approval NOT required.
Whether texting, chatting, conversing, speechifying, recounting, confiding, gossiping, tweeting, praying, interviewing, exhorting, pitching, scheming, lecturing, nagging or begging, humans love to talk, and readers love narratives that contain dialogue.  Good dialogue makes characters and scenes feel real and alive.  Great dialogue reveals characters' fears, desires and quirks, forwards the narrative's plot and dramatic tension, and often contains subtext.  In this course, we'll read different kinds of novels and stories -- from noir to horror to sci-fi to realistice drama to comic romp -- that implement various types of dialogue effectively, and we'll study how to do it.  We'll read essays by masters that explain techniques for writing great dialogue, and we'll practice writing different styles of dialogue ourselves.  Coursework will consist of reading, in-class exercises, and two short creative assignments.

HOW TO BUILD A PERSON

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Departmental approval NOT required.
Character is something that good fiction supposedly cannot do without.  But what is a character, and what constitutes a supposedly good or believable one?  Should characters be like people we know, and if so, how exactly do we create written versions of people?  This class will examine characters in all sorts of writing, historical and contemporary, with an eye toward understanding just how characters are created in fiction, and how they come to seem real to us.  We'll read stories and novels; we may also look at essays and biographical writing to analyze where the traces of personhood reside.  We'll also explore the way in which these same techniques of writing allow us to personify entities that lack traditional personhood, such as animals, computers, and other nonhuman characters.  Does personhood precede narrative, or is it something we bestow on others by allowing them to tell their story or by telling a story of our own creation on their behalf?  Weekly critical and creative exercises will intersect with and expand on the readings and discussions.

BIOCHEMISTRY

Prerequisites: one year each of Introductory Biology and General Chemistry.
Corequisites: Organic Chemistry. Primarily aimed at nontraditional students and undergraduates who have course conflicts with

Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes within organisms that give rise to the immense complexity of life. This complexity emerges from a highly regulated and coordinated flow of chemical energy from one biomolecule to another. This course serves to familiarize students with the spectrum of biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleic acids, etc.) as well as the fundamental chemical processes (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, fatty acid metabolism, etc.) that allow life to happen. In particular, this course will employ active learning techniques and critical thinking problem-solving to engage students in answering the question: how is the complexity of life possible? NOTE: While Organic Chemistry is listed as a corequisite, it is highly recommended that you take Organic Chemistry beforehand.

LATINO N.Y.:CULTRL ID/EXPRESS

This course examines the long-standing cultural presence in New York City of peoples of Latin American and Spanish Caribbean descent. Beginning with a brief overview of key grounding concepts to trace the development of New York Latino cultural identity, we then examine the cultural foundations of Latino communities in New York, dating back to the nineteenth century. We proceed to study the mass migrations of Puerto Ricans during the post-WWII period, and the consequent political and aesthetic movements of the 1960s and 1970s. We examine the plurality of cultural expressions and identities grouped under the rubric Latin@ which involves focusing on the particularities of race, gender, class, sexuality, class, and language. Finally, we examine the growing and diversified presence of immigrants from all over the Spanish-speaking world, from the mid-1970s onward, a “Latino boom” which solidified the place of Nueva York (to paraphrase author Luis Rafael Sánchez) as the symbolic capital of the Spanish-speaking world.

FICTION SEMINAR

APPROACHES TO THE SHORT STORY

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required.
The modern short story has gone through many transformations, and the innovations of its practitioners have often pointed the way for prose fiction as a whole. The short story has been seized upon and refreshed by diverse cultures and aesthetic affiliations, so that perhaps the only stable definition of the form remains the famous one advanced by Poe, one of its early masters, as a work of fiction that can be read in one sitting. Still, common elements of the form have emerged over the last century and this course will study them, including Point of View, Plot, Character, Setting, and Theme. John Hawkes once famously called these last four elements the "enemies of the novel," and many short story writers have seen them as hindrances as well. Hawkes later recanted, though some writers would still agree with his earlier assessment, and this course will examine the successful strategies of great writers across the spectrum of short story practice, from traditional approaches to more radical solutions, keeping in mind how one period's revolution - Hemingway, for example - becomes a later era's mainstream or "common-sense" storytelling mode. By reading the work of major writers from a writer's perspective, we will examine the myriad techniques employed for what is finally a common goal: to make readers feel. Short writing exercises will help us explore the exhilarating subtleties of these elements and how the effects created by their manipulation or even outright absence power our most compelling fictions.
