Physical Education Courses

Body Sculpting

The Barnard Physical Education Department offers a diverse range of course activities to accommodate student interests and abilities.  Barnard students must complete one Physical Education course during their designated semester in their First Year.  Transfer students must complete one semester of Physical Education by the end of the Junior Year (if their transfer credit evaluation necessitates a PE course).  There are no exemptions from the PE requirement.  Dance technique courses, intercollegiate athletic teams, and some Columbia clubs also fulfill the Physical Education requirement and have different registration procedures.  Students should contact the Physical Education Department Chair with any questions.

In this panoramic look at some of most interesting, important, and emblematic work that has been created in the first centuries of American history, we attempt to approach the question – and, really, it’s not just a single question - from a wide variety of perspectives, befitting the variety and diversity of the Americans who created that work. Students will be asked to acquaint themselves with a wide variety of material, including but not limited to works of prose fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry, theater, visual art and architecture, and radio and film.

PRIM TEXTS OF LATIN AMER CIV

It focuses on key texts from Latin America in their historical and intellectual context and seeks to understand their structure and the practical purposes they served using close reading and, when possible, translations. The course seeks to establish a counterpoint to the list of canonical texts of Contemporary Civilization. The selections are not intended to be compared directly to those in CC but to raise questions about the different contexts in which ideas are used, the critical exchanges and influences (within and beyond Latin America) that shaped ideas in the region, and the long-term intellectual, political, and cultural pursuits that have defined Latin American history. The active engagement of students toward these texts is the most important aspect of class work and assignments. NO FIRST YEAR STUDENTS PERMITTED.

Ghost Stories

GHOST STORIES

What are ghosts? Why are we haunted by them? And why are we so drawn to telling stories about these hauntings? In this class, we will read ghost stories from the 17th century through the present day; in the process, we will examine what these stories reveal about our own preoccupations, fears, and desires. Writers and readers turn to ghost stories for horror and suspense, for sure, but also because they’re a powerful medium for reckoning with history and memory—with the past’s hold over the present—particularly when it comes to violence, loss, oppression, and trauma. Ghost stories engage with issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality; with social otherness; with marginalization. Ghost stories stage problems of justice, vengeance, and guilt. Ghost stories trouble the nature of the body, and the meaning of (and boundaries between) life and death. Ghost stories lend themselves both to fear and to laughter, both to questions and to answers. While exploring all of these topics and themes, we will also consider the trope of storytelling itself, which figures prominently in so many works of the genre. What is wrapped up in the gesture of telling a story, and in the ways, contexts, and reasons in and for which these stories get told? Readings (subject to change) include works by Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Edith Wharton, Henry James, Shirley Jackson, Helen Oyeyemi, Maxine Hong Kingston, Toni Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and others.

Power of Persuasion, Art of Speaking Wel

Intro to Classical Rhetor

Composed of three interwoven strands, this course seeks to introduce students to the dynamic traditions of speaking—and theorizing about speaking—that developed in ancient Greek and Roman cultural milieus and whose legacies continued to influence literary prose and public discourse for centuries afterward.

On Mondays we will undertake a historical survey of ancient rhetoric, supplementing George Kennedy’s A New History of Classical Rhetoric with excerpted primary readings from the sources it covers. 

On Wednesdays we will read and analyze Aristotle’s Art of Rhetoric to examine how a rhetorical treatise from Greek antiquity interacts with evidence from rhetorical practice (or competing works of rhetorical theory!) over the period under consideration.  

On select Wednesdays during the semester, we will intersperse our reading of Aristotle with six “spotlighted” speeches (by Demosthenes, Cicero, Gregory of Nazianzus, Elizabeth I, Thomas More, and Frederick Douglass) that draw on and contribute to the richness of the classical Greek and Roman rhetorical tradition and its afterlives.

BEGINNING FICTION WORKSHOP

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required. The beginning workshop in fiction is designed for students with little or no experience writing literary texts in fiction. Students are introduced to a range of technical and imaginative concerns through exercises and discussions, and they eventually produce their own writing for the critical analysis of the class. The focus of the course is on the rudiments of voice, character, setting, point of view, plot, and lyrical use of language. Students will begin to develop the critical skills that will allow them to read like writers and understand, on a technical level, how accomplished creative writing is produced. Outside readings of a wide range of fiction supplement and inform the exercises and longer written projects.
