FRENCH AMERICA 1534-1804

A study of the French Atlantic World from the exploration of Canada to the Louisiana Purchase and Haitian Independence, with a focus on the relationship between war and trade, forms of intercultural negotiation, the economics of slavery, and the changing meaning of race.

The demise of the First French Colonial Empire occurred in two stages: the British victory at the end of the Seven Years War in 1763, and the proclamation of Haitian Independence by insurgent slaves in 1804. The first French presence in the New World was the exploration of the Gulf of St. Lawrence by Jacques Cartier in 1534. At its peak the French Atlantic Empire included one-third of the North American continent, as well as the richest and most productive sugar and coffee plantations in the world.

By following the history of French colonization in North America and the Caribbean, this class aims to provide students with a different perspective on the history of the Western hemisphere, and on US history itself. At the heart of the subject is the encounter between Europeans and Native Americans and between Europeans and Africans. We will focus the discussion on a few issues: the strengths and weaknesses of French imperial control as compared with the Spanish and the British; the social, political, military, and religious dimensions of relations with Native Americans; the extraordinary prosperity and fragility of the plantation system; evolving notions of race and citizenship; and how the French Atlantic Empire shaped the history of the emerging United States.

Auteur Study: Jane Campion

From her first major feature,
Sweetie
(1989) to her most recent,
The Power of the Dog
(2021), Jane Campion has been one of the most significant filmmakers of her generation, not only as a breakthrough woman director but as a stylist who brings a sharp yet graceful aesthetic to wide-ranging, socially resonant work. Her frequent themes of feminism, marriage, social expectations and eroticism have smartly subverted genres including contemporary family drama, period pieces and television miniseries.

The Piano
 remains a bold classic of romanticism, even as the film has come under criticism for its depiction of the Maori characters (an important angle to consider). Her period pieces, including the literary adaptation
The Portrait of a Lady
, infuse the 19th century with a contemporary sensibility. And her television work – recently
Top of the Lake
 but decades ago
An Angel at My Table,
in 1990 – makes her an excellent director to study at a moment when the lines between cinema and television are blurring.

This course will look at her ongoing career as director and often screenwriter, with particular attention to her visual style in its consistencies and variations. Her aesthetic was established early, including off-kilter camera angles and sumptuous backdrops. But she does not adhere rigidly to a single style. As she continues to work, she remains open to changes in her own approach, using a male perspective and Western genre in
The Power of the Dog,
and embracing the miniseries form in two seasons of the socially relevant mystery
Top of the Lake
(which addresses sexual abuse). That openness and adaptability make her career a timely model for young filmmakers.

We will also look at responses to her work and the ever-growing body of scholarship, which includes important reevaluations. In addition to new perspectives on
The Piano
, for example, her thriller
In the Cut
has been reclaimed from its initial dismissal as a failure and reconsidered as a major work dealing with female perspective and desire.

Students will be encouraged to arrive at their own assessments of Campion's work, through class discussion, in-class reports, and two substantial papers incorporating research and original analysis.

THE NOVEL IN AFRICA

The main task of this course will be to read novels by African writers. But the novel in Africa also involves connections between the literary genre of the novel and the historical processes of colonialism, decolonization, and globalization in Africa. One important question we'll consider is how African novels depict those historical experiences in their themes and plots—we'll read novels that are about colonialism, etc. A more complex question is how these historical processes relate to the emergence of the novel as an important genre for African writers. Edward Said went so far as to say that without imperialism, there would be no European novel as we know it. How can we understand the novel in Africa (whether read or written) as a product of the colonial encounter? How did it shape the process of decolonization? What contribution to history, whether literary or political, does the novel in Africa make? We'll undertake a historical survey of African novels from the 1930s to the present, with attention to various subgenres (village novel, war novel, urbanization novel, novel of postcolonial disillusion, Bildungsroman). We'll attend to how African novelists blend literate and oral storytelling traditions, how they address their work to local and global audiences, and how they use scenes of characters reading novels (whether African or European) in order to position their writing within national, continental, and world literary space.

ACCUSATION

This course examines the politics and practices of collective accusation in comparative perspective. It treats these phenomena in their relation to processes of political and economic transition, to discourses of crisis, and to the practices of rule by which the idea of exception is made the grounds for extreme claims on and for the social body-usually, but not exclusively, enacted through forms of expulsion. We will consider the various theoretical perspectives through which forms of collective accusation have been addressed, focusing on psychoanalytic, structural functional, and poststructuralist readings. In doing so, we will also investigate the difference and possible continuities between the forms and logics of accusation that operate in totalitarian as well as liberal regimes. Course readings will include both literary and critical texts.

PAN AFRICANISM

“Pan Africanist” ideologies were very diverse from Garveyism, Negritude to the various African America, Caribbean and African discourses of “neo-pharaohnism” and “Ethiopianism.” This seminar explores how Black leaders, intellectuals, and artists chose to imagine Black (Africans and people of African descent) as a global community from the late 19th century to the present. It examines their attempts to chart a course of race, modernity, and emancipation in unstable and changing geographies of empire, nation, and state. Particular attention will be given to manifestations identified as their common history and destiny and how such a distinctive historical experience has created a unique body of reflections on and cultural productions about modernity, religion, class, gender, and sexuality, in a context of domination and oppression.

Auteur Study: Steven Spielberg

The world’s most influential living film director and the most impactful creator of

popular culture in the last quarter of the Twentieth Century is a Jewish-American. Steven

Spielberg’s uncanny grasp of visual storytelling and his auteurist signature can be found

on every film he has directed, as well as many he has produced. This course will analyze

the content and formal construction of Spielberg’s films by following their thematic

through-lines – family ties (strained and healthy), the implacable threat, humanity at war,

man vs. the natural world, the child’s perspective, Jewish identity and others – in films as

disparate as Jaws and The Color Purple.

Each class meeting will include a complete screening of a feature film directed by Steven

Spielberg, as well as clips of related films by Spielberg. Readings will include critical

essays, histories, and interviews which elaborate on in-class screenings and cover

additional topics and films. Written assignments will be three analytical essays which

will encourage critical thinking, close analysis of film texts, and independent research

beyond the materials presented in class.

Zionist Thought: Center and Periphery

In this course, students will learn about some of the many manifestations of Zionist thought and organizing from the nineteenth century to the present day. The term “Zionism” is much-debated, but usually with little direct reference to its myriad meanings over time and space. The priorities, concerns, and ideas of Zionists in 1940s Algeria might differ greatly from contemporaneous Egyptian Zionist circles. On the other hand, twenty-first century American Zionists might have more in common with 1910s Ottomanists than one would expect.

Each week, we will explore a different region of the world, examining Zionism in the Ottoman Empire, ‘Iraq, Iran, India, Yemen, ‘Aden, Europe, North Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, and Egypt), Sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Nigeria), South America, the United States, and Israel. Doing so will allow us to develop an expansive understanding of Zionist thought, shedding light on critical debates and current events in Israel and around the world.

TRAGIC BODIES II: SURFACES, MATERIALITIE

This course is conceived as an advanced seminar (i.e., upper-level
undergraduate and graduate) that addresses in more depth the themes of the lecture
course Tragic Bodies (BC 3160). It explores how dramatic enactment represents
boundaries and edges and thus skin, coverings, masking, and dress-up in relation to
gender and sexuality as well as race and class. The skin's tragedy most often is its
vulnerabilities – its othering and debasement, its tendency to be denigrated or willfully
cast off. This course will focus on these bodily edges, surfaces, and coverings, as well as
touching, proximity, and affect in ancient and modern drama as well as in film. In more
depth and more expansively than the lecture course, the seminar treats the three canonical
Greek writers of tragedy (Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides) as unifying threads and
features modern re-envisionings of their dramas that challenge gender, racial, and human
conventions. The course will also feature ground-breaking work on aesthetics, affect and
the senses, materialities, and the post-human in order to craft with the students activist
engagements with embodiment.

Transnational Feminisms-China and Beyond

Transntl Feminism-China/B

This is an interdisciplinary seminar for graduate students and advanced undergraduates to explore transnational feminisms, gender politics in China, and the movement of feminist (and anti-feminist) ideas across borders. We will read some translations of primary works by Chinese writers, as well as feminist scholarship in English to gain insight into the following areas: social movements; gender, race, ethnicity and class; global capitalism and inequalities; sexualities; identities; digital activism; nationalisms; marriage and families; and the politics of reproduction. Although the course has no formal prerequisites, it assumes some basic knowledge about Chinese history and intersectional approaches to gender. If you have never taken a course on China before,please ask me for guidance on whether or not the course is suitable for you.

Linguistics: Languages of Asia

With the largest landmass of any continent and a majority of the world’s population, Asia is deeply diverse linguistic terrain, where even the major national languages may come from very different families and employ varied writing systems. Though many are endangered and little documented, Asia’s 2,000-plus languages are a crucial lens for looking in specific detail at the long-run history of places, peoples, and cultures, telling us “What’s where why?”, as language typologists sometimes put it. This course surveys four of Asia’s major language groups (Indo-Iranian, Turkic, Tibeto-Burman, and Sinitic) and four of its proposed linguistic areas (the Caucasus, India, mainland Southeast Asia, and Northeast Asia), where a constellation of languages from a variety of families, as well as isolates, have long been in close contact. Lesser-studied languages large and small will be examined in close-up for both their linguistic features and the natural, social, and historical forces that shape them.

ECONOMICS OF SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT

ECON OF SUSTAINABILITY MG

This course builds on core economics courses and addresses issues of environmental, resource and sustainable economics. It focuses on the interaction between markets and the environment; policy issues related to optimal extraction and pricing; property rights in industrial and developing countries and how they affect international trade in goods such as timber, wood pulp, and oil. An important goal of the class is to have students work in groups to apply economic concepts to current public policy issues having to do with urban environmental and earth systems. The use of the worlds water bodies and the atmosphere as economic inputs to production are also examined. The economics of renewable resources is described and sustainable economic development models are discussed and analyzed. Some time will also be devoted to international trade and regulation, and industrial organization issues. Students not only learn economic concepts, but they will also learn how to explain them to decision-makers. The instructor will tailor this course to the skill level of the students in order to most effectively suit the needs of the class.
