THE SHAPE OF GOTHIC LITERATURE

(Lecture). This course is designed as a broad introduction to Gothic literature, looking at the genre's key tropes and ideas, and how it transformed from its origins in the anxiety dreams of the English gentleman Horace Walpole in 1765 to become the cultural juggernaut of contemporary horror. The course will cover some central texts and writers, but this is not a survey. Instead, we will focus specifically on Gothic spaces - the haunted house, the labyrinth, the basement. The empty corridor, the interior of the body and the terrifying beyond, as well as the twisted and surreal shapes of the texts themselves - and explore why the genre seems to come back to these elements so often. By the end of the courses, students should be equipped with the knowledge to defeat most forms of the undead and most transdimensional squids.

THE FUTURE IN HISTORY

Does future have a history? What is the future’s impact on the past? Can we reconstruct the history of the future in the past? In other words, can we historicize the ways in which people think, feel and mediate their visions of the future? In this course, we will address these questions through the study of a selection of visions of the future that were developed throughout the twentieth century. Our exploration of the future will include utopian texts and frameworks, but also more popular visions of “a different world”. Ranging from literature, to film, architectural design and cultural criticism we will study the politics of the notion of the futurity through an analysis of textual and visual elaborations that crosscut the boundaries between intellectual production and popular culture.

CHINESE DOCUMENTARY CINEMA

What defines a “documentary” film? How do documentaries inform, provoke and move us?  What formal devices and aesthetic strategies do documentaries use to construct visions of reality and proclaim them as authentic, credible and authoritative? What can documentary cinema teach us about the changing Chinese society, and about cinema as a medium for social engagement?    This seminar introduces students to the aesthetics, epistemology and politics of documentary cinema in China from the 1940s to the present, with an emphasis on contemporary films produced in the past two decades.  We examine how documentaries contended history, registered subaltern experiences, engaged with issues of gender, ethnicity and class, and built new communities of testimony and activism to foster social change. Besides documentaries made by Chinese filmmakers, we also include a small number of films made on China by western filmmakers, including those by Joris Ivens, Michelangelo Antonioni, Frank Capra and Carma Hinton.  Topics include documentary poetics and aesthetics, evidence, performance and authenticity, the porous boundaries between documentary and fiction, and documentary ethics. As cinema is, among other things, a creative practice, in this course, students will be given opportunities to respond to films analytically and creatively, through writing as well as creative visual projects.

RACE, DRUGS, AND INEQUALITY

RACE, TECH & HEALTH/US HI

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
Through a series of secondary- and primary-source readings and research writing assignments, students in this seminar course will explore one of the most politically controversial aspects in the history of public health in the United States as it has affected peoples of color: intoxicating substances. Course readings are primarily historical, but sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists are also represented on the syllabus. The course's temporal focus - the twentieth century - allows us to explore the historical political and social configurations of opium, alcohol, heroin, cocaine, medical maintenance (methadone), the War on Drugs, the carceral state and hyperpolicing, harm reduction and needle/syringe exchange. This semester's principal focus will be on the origins and evolution of the set of theories, philosophies, and practices which constitute harm reduction. The International Harm Reduction Association/Harm Reduction International offers a basic, though not entirely comprehensive, definition of harm reduction in its statement, "What is Harm Reduction?" (http://www.ihra.net/what-is-harm-reduction): "Harm reduction refers to policies, programmes and practices that aim to reduce the harms associated with the use of psychoactive drugs in people unable or unwilling to stop. The defining features are the focus on the prevention of harm, rather than on the prevention of drug use itself, and the focus on people who continue to use drugs."[1] Harm reduction in many U.S. communities of color, however, has come to connote a much wider range of activity and challenges to the status quo. In this course we will explore the development of harm reduction in the United States and trace its evolution in the political and economic context race, urban neoliberalism, and no-tolerance drug war. The course will feature site visits to harm reduction organizations in New York City, guest lectures, and research/oral history analysis. This course has been approved for inclusion in both the African-American Studies and History undergraduate curricula (majors and concentrators). HIST W4588 will be open to both undergraduate and masters students. To apply, please complete the Google form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xaPFhQOzkl1NHnIjQIen9h41iel2hXAdhV59D5wH8AQ/viewform?usp=send_form. Questions may be directed to skroberts@columbia.edu.

MODERNISM AND MEDIA

(Lecture). Does new media fundamentally alter the way we produce and consume works of art? This seems like a twenty-first century question, but it was also a central preoccupation for modernist writers in the first half of the twentieth century. How, they asked, can literature reach the distracted modern reader? Writers we will read this semester such as Joseph Conrad and Virginia Woolf rejected Victorian literary conventions, which they argued were no longer able to touch the modem reader's senses directly; in doing so, however, they relied on techniques such as collage, allusion, stream of consciousness, and symbolism that often alienated the "common reader." Other forms of entertainment were increasingly available to such readers: the cinema, the music hall, newspapers, radio, and (later) television. Literature was, for many, losing its audience to these other venues. Scholars have argued that modernism emerged as a reaction against the rise of mass culture; however, as we will see in this course, modernist reactions to media are in fact diverse and complicated. We will identify and explore a range of critical approaches, and, in so doing, we will detail the extent to which modernist aesthetics emerged alongside the rise of new forms of popular mass culture, whether as a negative, positive, or ambivalent response. We will also interrogate the enduring legacy of modernist approaches to media and question whether we have, in fact, moved beyond these concerns or whether they continue to define our literary and popular cultures. Working through a range of texts from famous works of high modernism such as T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land and James Joyce's Ulysses or lesser known radio plays, manifestos, and films, we will identify the intimate relationship between modernism and changing media.
