Introduction to Writing about Literature

Intro Writing Lit & Cultu

What does it mean to close read? Does the author’s biography matter to understanding a text? What about the time and place that the text was written? This course will introduce students to a range of habits, practices, and approaches to writing about literature and culture that widen and deepen how one can respond to and interpret a novel, a poem, and various other cultural artifacts. At the same time, we will engage in writing practices that empower students to locate and articulate what interests them about a particular piece of writing or culture, to make a claim about it, and to articulate that claim against other interpretations. Foundational to this endeavor is re-envisioning the writing process, from an isolated, individual process to one that involves collaboration and conversation; copious in-class writing; peer workshops; the power of drafts and revision; and the inclusion of research and theoretical frames. We will use Jamaica Kincaid’s novella Lucy as our main text, accompanied by shorter readings and visits to the museum, Barnard library and archive and other excursions that expand the world of our writing and the objects we wish to understand.

American Gun Violence: Causes and Conseq

In the sociology course, we examine the American epidemic of gun violence through a sociological perspective. In the first week, we’ll look at what it means to think sociologically and explore the larger context of gun violence as a racialized and gendered phenomenon. In the second week, we will explore neighborhood gun violence, school (mass) shootings, and police violence as case studies to understand the root causes of violence and the short- and long-term impacts on many groups of people. In the third week, we’ll try to tie it all together by looking at promising solutions to various types of gun violence. One theme across the course will be a sociological consideration of grief and other emotions in the aftermath of gun violence -- as not just personal feelings, but emotions experienced socially, shaped by and through social interactions, and subject to social rules and restrictions which too often reflect larger societal inequalities. We will also highlight the kinds of resilience, resistance, and activism that emerge from individuals and communities after experiences of gun violence. We will examine policy debates as sociologists trying to understand their contours, the social issues at their core, and the ways political responses also reflect and even perpetuate social inequalities. Together, we’ll attempt to make sense of our three seemingly disparate case studies as part of a larger problem, explore the affective dimensions that shape this problem, and the way attuning ourselves to social and public emotions may help us see potential solutions

Functional Anatomy for Movement

Functional Anatomy Moveme

This is an introduction to the study of Countertechnique® taught by certified Teacher, Francesca Dominguez. Countertechnique® is a system of movement designed for dancers to practice self-direction and to cultivate availability to movement while learning to take risks. Developed over the past 25 years by Dutch choreographer, Anouk Van Dijk, the technique utilizes a task-based approach for body and mind as the vehicle to approach dance. It is a movement system that helps the dancer think with the dancing body by focusing on the process of incorporating anatomical information into action; and beginning to direct and counter-direct the body through space as an alternative to gripping or falling over. Dancers are encouraged to be proactive in discovering connections and solutions, to be less concerned with judging themselves, and to work in a healthy way physically, mentally, and emotionally. The priority is to experience clarity and enjoyment of movement while utilizing the Countertechnique® principles. ☺ www.countertechnique.com By the end of the semester, students will have a clarified relationship to space; a developed coordination and articulation of the body; they will gain knowledge about the anatomy of the body especially joint structure, location, and range; and will be able to begin Scanning – the ability to observe one’s own state-of-being and draw upon solutions according to need and/or experimentation.

CRITICAL THEORY: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

The purpose of this foundational course is to introduce Columbia undergraduate students, in the context of their Global Core curriculum, to the seminal field of critical theory. The historical domain of this course is within the last century and its geographical spectrum is global. European critical thinkers are included in this course but not privileged. Thinkers from Asia, Africa, Europe, North, South, and Latin America, are examined here in chronological order and in equal democratic footing with each other. This course as a result is decidedly cross-cultural, one step forward towards de-alienating critical thinkers from around the globe and the issues they address without pigeonholing them as something “other” or “different.” The course is designed and offered in the true spirit of the “Global Core.” The purpose of the course is to reach for the common denominator of serious critical thinking about the fate of our humanity and the health of our social relations in an increasingly fragile world—where the false binaries of “the West” and “the Rest” no longer hold. The roster of critical thinkers we will examine is by no means exhaustive but representative. Any number of other critical thinkers can be added to this roster but none of those we will examine can be excluded from them. The course is divided into thirteen successive weeks and for each week a number of seminal, original, and groundbreaking texts are identified. Each week we will examine selected passages from these texts. The course is designed as a lecture course, and my lectures are based on the totality of these texts but students will be assigned specific shorter passages to read.

Radicalization and Education: Insight, P

Radicalization, both online and offline, poses significant challenges to societies worldwide. This course provides a comprehensive examination of the complex interplay between radicalization and education. Through lectures, discussions, readings, and practical exercises, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted nature of radicalization and its implications for education and society at large. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students will gain insights into the processes, mechanisms, and dynamics of radicalization within educational settings. The course explores the theoretical frameworks and concepts related to radicalization, including the socio-psychological factors, group dynamics, and ideological influences that contribute to an individual's susceptibility to radical ideologies. Students will examine case studies and real-world examples to understand the various forms of radicalization, from religious extremism to political extremism. A central focus of the course is the role of education in both perpetuating and mitigating radicalization. Students will critically analyze the ways in which educational institutions can serve as breeding grounds for radical ideologies, as well as the potential of education to promote critical thinking, resilience, and social cohesion as a means of countering radicalization. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to critically assess and respond to radicalization within educational contexts, contributing to efforts to promote tolerance, diversity, and social cohesion.

Dinos and the History of

Dinosaurs  
explores how science works and provide practical knowledge about the history of life and how we have come to understand it. We learn how to analyze the evolutionary relationships of organisms and examine how dinosaurs came to be exemplars of a very successful group of organisms dominant on land for 140 million years. We will delve deeply into how direct descendants of small carnivorous theropod dinosaurs evolved into birds, still more diverse than mammals, dominating the air. The Mesozoic, a “hot-house world”, with no ice caps and was the kind of world we are hurtling towards because of our input of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and we will look at how their time is a natural experiment for our future. The non-avian dinosaur met their end in a remarkable cataclysm discovered by detective work that we will delve deeply into as a paradigm of the scientific method  Finally, they are fun and spectacular - monsters more fantastic than any person has invented in legend or religion - and they are still with us!

NEW YORK CITY IN FILM

This course will explore the representation of New York City in film. We will examine the way that film portrays social problems and either creates or responds to “social panics.” We will also examine the way in which film actively creates an idea of “New York” through cinematography, directing, acting and other aspects of filmmaking.  Some topics to be considered are utopia/dystopia, race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, art, immigration, houselessness, and gentrification. The course follows three main themes: 1. How the filmmaking process (camera movements, lighting, dialogue, acting, etc.) is used as a method to describe space (filmmaking as a geographic method). 2. How various genres of film have been used to portray the social geography of New York City (the geography of film). 3. The relationship between the viewer’s “place” and the places portrayed in the film (communication geography). Finally, we will also consider how our personal sense of place towards New York City has altered throughout the course.

Prerequisites: no previous knowledge of German required, but some background is strongly recommended. This accelerated survey of German grammar, reading techniques, and dictionary skills is designed primarily for graduate students preparing for reading proficiency exams or wishing to do research in German-language literature.

Reading texts take students' fields of study into consideration. Although this course does not satisfy any part of the foreign language requirement for degree candidates, successful completion of the translation on the final exam fulfills the German reading proficiency requirement in most graduate programs. Students are advised that this course is a full-time commitment. Students should expect to study 2 hours every day for every hour spent in the classroom and additional time on weekends. Students who would like to gain speaking and listening skills are advised to enroll in the Intensive Elementary German I and II, or another appropriate German course.
