NARRATV/REPRES-POST-CONFL SOC

This course explores the relationship between narrative and the legacy of violence and atrocity in post-conflict societies, focusing particularly on the Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia (and more briefly Indonesia and Armenia). Examining a range of medium - including, but not limited, to eye-witness accounts, memoirs, history books, government reports, film, theater, memorials - we will consider how different narratives address issues of history and memory, justice and judgment. We will also discuss how narrative influences efforts to achieve reconciliation and come to terms with the past on both personal and societal levels. Does revisiting the past allow people who either suffered or inflicted terrible violence - or both - once again live together? Are there particular modes or genres of narrative that are particularly successful in terms of enabling societies to reflect on their past and respond adequately? Can justice and accountability ever be achieved? These are some of the questions we will consider as we examine the ways in which atrocities are written about, remembered, judged and interpreted.

HONORS THESIS SEMINAR

Prerequisites: minimum GPA of 3.5 in MESAAS courses.
The MESAAS honors seminar offers students the opportunity to undertake a sustained research project under close faculty supervision. The DUS advises on general issues of project design, format, approach, general research methodologies, and timetable. In addition, students work with an individual advisor who has expertise in the area of the thesis and can advise on the specifics of method and content. The thesis will be jointly evaluated by the adviser, the DUS, and the honors thesis TA. The DUS will lead students through a variety of exercises that are directly geared to facilitating the thesis. Students build their research, interpretive, and writing skills; discuss methodological approaches; write an annotated bibliography; learn to give constructive feedback to peers and respond to feedback effectively. The final product is a polished research paper in the range of 40-60 pages. Please note: This is a one-year course that begins in the fall semester (1 point) and continues through the spring semester (3 points). Only students who have completed both semesters will receive the full 4 points of credit.

ARABS IN LITERATURE & FILM

This course explores contemporary Arab American and the Arab Diaspora culture and history through literature and film produced by writers and filmmakers of these communities. As a starting historical point, the course explores the idea of Arabness, and examines the Arab migration globally, in particular to the U.S., focusing on three periods: 1875-1945, 1945-early 1960s, and late 1960s-present. By reading and viewing the most exciting and best-known literary works and films produced by these writers and filmmakers, students will attain an awareness of the richness and complexity of these societies. Additionally, students will read historical and critical works to help them have a deeper understanding of theses creative works. Discussions revolve around styles and aesthetics as well as identity and cultural politics. Some of the writers the class will cover include, Wajdi Mouawad, Diana Abu Jaber,  Amin Maalouf, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Anthony Shadid, Hisham Matar, and Adhaf Soueif.

FEMINISM & DISABILITY STUDIES

Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
(Seminar). This course studies the intersection of feminism and disability studies as a critical problem, a theoretical rubric, and a site of cultural production. These fields have much in common, including the fact that both grew out of movements for rights and social justice, take the body as a key area of concern, and are concerned with intersectionality of such terms as gender, ability, race, ethnicity, and class. However, they have not always been in dialogue. In this course, we will consider the evolution and key questions behind each field, where they overlap and disagree, and what might be gained through a productive conjunction of the two. We will study the sometimes competing perspectives of feminism and disability on debates over reproductive choice, dependency and care, and the representation of the non-normative body as we seek strategies for intersection and reconciliation. We will begin by assuming a close connection between aesthetic and social/political representation, putting narratives in a variety of media - essays, fiction, memoir, film, and visual arts -- at the center of our analysis. Narrative will be paired with critical readings that will provide historical, social, political, and theoretical context for our discussion. Application instructions: E-mail Prof. Adams (rea15@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.

SENIOR SEMINAR

Prerequisites: senior major or concentrator status.
You are on Facebook. A white box shows a light grey text in which the system prompts you to respond to the following question: “What’s on your mind?” Since you are conscious of your mind, and you know the stuff of such consciousness is inside such mind, you feel that the question concerns you, and not somebody else going by the name of you. You answer with a text, some words hastily scribbled; you add a picture, perhaps a selfie, or a video, or a link to something you have read before. You hit the return button, and your answer is sent to the world. Literally, to the whole world. In your small interaction with the machine, everything you did has been registered by a number of different computers spread around the world. Your response contained elements of truth, perhaps an avowal; it also contains something that you did not intend to say, or something you avoided saying, leaving some sort of ellipsis, or blank; you also made some fiction –not a lie, only fiction, that is, you narrated. Now, you are engaging in Digital Storytelling. What is the language of Digital Storytelling? Even though most of our readings are in English, we need to engage in a discussion about the language of the Internet, about English, and about Latin American and Iberian languages. We are not talking exclusively about Spanish or Portuguese, but also about other Latin American and Iberian less taught languages like Catalan, Basque, American indigenous languages, etc. Digital Storytelling has been defined as a multimedia set of processes permitting everyday people to share aspects of their life. The words I have emphasized are part of the Wikipedia definition of Digital Storytelling. They are, however, problematic, and they need to be analyzed: what do they mean by everyday people? What does it mean to share? Why their lives, like that, in the third grammatical person? What do institutions and corporations do with our shared lives, with our storytelling –texts, videos, photography? How do share lives interfere with the platonic idea, common to the Humanities, Natural and Social Sciences, Philosophy, about leading examined lives? Anthropologists, historians, libraries, institutions, corporations increasingly rely in what they get from Digital Storytelling. From text, to pictures, drawings, video, etc., Digital Storytelling constitutes an amazing array of crowd-sourced materials for a myriad purposes. It is treated as true data –perhaps all d

For the Late Bronze and Iron Ages, when areas of the Southern Levant fell under foreign rule, issues concerning imperial governance, collaboration, and resistance will also be discussed.
