SENTIMENTALISM AND ITS AFTERLIFE

SENTIMENTALISM & ITS AFTERLIFE

“It is not expected of critics as it is of poets that they should help us to make sense of our lives; they are bound only to attempt the lesser feat of making sense of the ways we try to make sense of our lives.” – Frank Kermode This seminar will focus on the complex relationship between literature and emotion. By studying sentimental literature in 19th- and 20th-century America, we’ll examine how works written to portray and evoke feeling functioned as powerful social and political forces. We’ll read some of the most popular American fiction ever written as well as more obscure works, and we’ll study the philosophy that informed a sentimental worldview. We’ll explore the legacy of American sentimentalism, studying the backlash against sentimental literature and investigating the ways that sentimental tropes lasted into the twentieth century and beyond. Throughout the course, we’ll read from philosophers and critics who debate the political potential of sympathy—arguing to what extent sympathy releases revolutionary force or fosters political quietism.

Melodrama, Horror, Crime, Vaudeville: Th

MELODRAMA, HORROR, CRIME,

Melodrama, horror, crime, and vaudeville were among the most popular genres of the nineteenth-century theatre. At the dawn of the new century, the new medium of cinema and twentieth-century popular culture generally drew on theatre to develop new kinds of melodrama, horror, crime, and vaudeville. The great film pioneer Georges Méliès, claimed that his principal aim was the creation of “stage effects” in his films. In their 1920 manual,
How to Write Photoplays
, John Emerson and Anita Loos imagined motion pictures as a sequence of “scenes” modeled on stage plays. But filmmakers also transformed what they had learned from theatre in the new medium. In this seminar, we will be looking at these genres in film and other media c.1900-1945, examining continuities and changes as film at once emerged from and broke with the theatre. Over the course of the semester, students will also film their own homage to melodrama, horror, crime, and / or vaudeville (to be screened in the final session: no filmmaking skills required!)

Management Consulting & the New Econ

Management Consulting/New

From “diversity management” in the workplace to the “Ministry of McKinsey” that dominates various Gulf monarchies, the discourses, rhetorics, “visions,” and recommendations of consultants proliferate globally as we careen from one endless crisis to another. This reading intensive course will explore the histories, aesthetics, affects, and logics that have produced this shadowy, yet cheerful figure of “the consultant.” Critically, the course also explores how the figure of the consultant  transforms ideas of knowledge-production, political responsibility, urban forms, imperialism, and ideas of the future. Students will thus explore forms of professionalization and expertise, new office cultures, the work of public relations, optimization, management, and design. While the proximity of the consultant to the anthropologist is of particular interest, students will read widely across different academic disciplines which include critical architecture, art history, literature, histories of capitalism, media and technology studies.  The course will also consider how the figure of “the consultant” takes up, but is also taken up by cinema, literature, memes, and contemporary art.

WRITING RESISTANCE

Set within a transnational and transdisciplinary feminist framework,
Writing Resistance
will unfold and examine the ways traumatic, lived experiences of gender and structural violence, systematic oppression and precarity, incarceration, racism, and colonialism, have been silenced or submerged in canonical writing and official history making. As an antidote, we will attempt a “queering” of this patriarchal and “colonial archive” (Stoler), by shedding light and focusing on diverse forms of writing, autobiographies and biomythographies, poetry and fiction, and theoretical readings that are either produced by or centered on the lived experiences, psyches and bodies, of women, people of color, dissidents and incarcerated people, queer, transgender, and non-binary individuals, refugees and other historically and systematically marginalized voices and identities. Within the context of what has often been approached as “minor literature” (Deleuze and Guattari), the fragmented truths, interrupted stories, and the “descent to the everyday” (Das), will reveal not only traumas, suffering, and alienation, but also what Veena Das approaches as “poisonous knowledge,” where the gendered, queer, racialized, and political body, solidarity, and silence, return as resistance, reclaiming voices, visibility, and authorship.

The Political Novel

Is the political novel a genre? It depends on your understanding both of politics and of the novel. If politics means parties, elections, and governing, then few novels of high quality would qualify. If on the other hand “the personal is the political,” as the slogan of the women’s movement has it, then almost everything the novel deals with is politics, and few novels would not qualify. This seminar will try to navigate between these extremes, focusing on novels that center on the question of how society is and ought to be constituted. Since this question is often posed ambitiously in so-called “genre fiction” like thrillers and sci-fi, which is not always honored as “literature,” it will include some examples of those genres as well as uncontroversial works of the highest literary value like Melville’s “Benito Cereno,” Ellison’s “Invisible Man,” and Camus’s “The Plague.”

CULTURE, MENTAL HEALTH, AND HEALING IN E

CULTURE,HEALTH,HEALING E.

Why do certain mental illnesses only appear in specific regions of the world? What processes of translation, adaption, and “indigenization” take place when Western psychiatric diagnostic categories, pharmaceutical regimens, and psychodynamic treatments travel to China, South Korea and Japan? How do East Asian therapeutic modalities such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and the practice of qigong destabilize biomedical assumptions about the etiology and treatment of mental illness? This course engages these and other questions through anthropological analysis of the experiences of people struggling with mental illness, the mental health practitioners who treat them, and the broader economic, social and political contexts that shape these interactions.

ANTHROP OF THE ANTHROPOCENE

This course focuses on the political ecology of the Anthropocene. As multiple publics become increasingly aware of the extensive and accelerated rate of current global environmental change, and the presence of anthropogenesis in ever expanding circumstances, we need to critically analyze the categories of thought and action being developed in order to carefully approach this change. Our concern is thus not so much the Anthropocene as an immutable fact, inevitable event, or definitive period of time (significant though these are), but rather for the political, social, and intellectual consequences of this important idea. Thus we seek to understand the creativity of The Anthropocene as a political, rhetorical, and social category. We also aim to examine the networks of capital and power that have given rise to the current state of planetary change, the strategies for ameliorating those changes, and how these are simultaneously implicated in the rhetorical creation of The Anthropocene.

The Doctrine of Discovery: Religion, Law

THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY

How did European-Christians justify the colonization of the Americas? Did these justifications vary between different European empires, and between the Protestant and Catholic faiths, and if so, how? Do these justifications remain in effect in modern jurisprudence and ministries? This class explores these questions by introducing students to the Doctrine of Discovery. The Doctrine of Discovery is the defining legal rationale for European Colonization in the Western Hemisphere. The Doctrine has its origins in a body of ecclesiastic, legal, and philosophical texts dating to the late-fifteenth century, and was summarized by Chief Justice John Marshall of the United States Supreme Court, in the final, unanimous decision the judiciary issued on the 1823 case
Johnson v. M’Intosh.
Students will be introduced to the major, primary texts that make up the Doctrine, as well as contemporary critical studies of these texts and the Doctrine in general.

The End of Monuments

What is the ​end​ of a monument, and when does it happen? On October 12th, 1992, on the quincentennial anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Caribbean, the Organización Campesina Emiliano Zapata marched into the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas and knocked down the statue of Diego de Mazariegos. In subsequent reporting on the event, a participant named Mariano argued that the monument was a “symbol of the conquest, colonialism, exploitation, racism and plunder,” and that toppling the statue represented five centuries of popular, indigenous struggle against these forms of repression (cuartopoder.mx). Criticism of these spectacular instances of popular resistance often seize on their inability to destabilize the structural edifice underlying the material symbol, as if the monument were only the tip of the iceberg. As recent movements across Latin America and the US have rearticulated critiques of monuments as place markers for ideologies of settler colonialism, capitalism, anti-blackness and patriarchal notions of power, however, they have also intersected with movements against land theft, resource and labor rights, reproductive justice, abolition, and self-determination. In the process, these popular debates have engendered new ways of thinking about social space and other forms of monumentalism that claim to be reparative, critical, functional, or ephemeral in their engagement with local history, existing or destroyed monuments, and the built environment. In this seminar, we will explore historical and contemporary issues around space, place, memory, and belonging, in order to understand what forms of cultural practice emerge through monumentalism. We will also examine how community actors, activists, writers, artists, and political figures engage with the spatial politics of memory, and actualize, complicate or attempt to dismantle legacies of settler colonialism, white nationalism and resource extraction. We will take as our point of departure an understanding of monuments and their meaning on the Columbia/Barnard campus, and in the City of New York more broadly. Then, we will consider a range of theorizations and interventions on monuments in Buenos Aires, Brazil, Chiapas, Ciudad Juárez, France, Ibadan, Lof Campo Maripe, Nassau, and beyond. Later, we will question the problem of aesthetics and the role of art discourse in determining the character or qualities of a monument. Finally, we will discuss possible relationships between archives, memorials, and monumentali

ECOCRITICISM FOR THE END TIMES

Prerequisites: the instructors permission. This seminar aims to show what an anthropologically informed, ecocritical cultural studies can offer in this moment of intensifying ecological calamity. The course will not only engage significant works in anthropology, ecocriticism, philosophy, literature, politics, and aesthetics to think about the environment, it will also bring these works into engaged reflection on living in the end times (borrowing cultural critic Slavoj Zizeks phrase). The seminar will thus locate critical perspectives on the environment within the contemporary worldwide ecological crisis, emphasizing the ethnographic realities of global warming, debates on nuclear power and energy, and the place of nature. Drawing on the professors long experience in Japan and current research on the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster, the seminar will also take care to unpack the notion of end times, with its apocalyptic implications, through close considerations of works that take on the question of ecocatastrophe in our times. North American and European perspectives, as well as international ones (particularly ones drawn from East Asia), will give the course a global reach.
