POWER, JUSTICE, PRAXIS: LISTENING ACROSS

A Columbia Cross-Disciplinary Course.

“What is deep listening?
Sama
is a greeting from the secret ones inside the heart, a letter. The branches of your intelligence grow new leaves in the wind of this listening.” As these lines from 13th century Sufi poet Jalal al-Din Rumi suggest, deep listening is an act of profound humanity; it is an act of profound humility. It is also essential for intellectual development. In the 21st century university, how do we teach students in the art of listening – particularly, listening across differences of identity, politics, positionality and power? At a time when events on the national and international stage fracture interpersonal understanding and create environments of ideological isolation, how can justice be approached in our listening practices? How can listening be enacted toward a nuanced understanding of the other, not flattening or homogenizing, but rather, recognizing individuals and communities in their rich particularity, even when that listening may threaten one’s deeply held personal beliefs or community boundaries? This 4000 level mixed undergraduate/graduate course will examine how to conceptualize and enact listening from each of three disciplinary perspectives – narrative medicine, oral history, and social work, all fields in which the act of listening is central to our professional practices.

 

This class will introduce students to theoretically grounded listening practices incorporating attention to power, privilege, political difference, and personal identity (such as race/ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, religion), and give them opportunities to engage in practical listening labs which will be guided by junior faculty and teaching assistants from our disciplines. Case studies from current sociopolitical events and campus concerns regarding political polarization, freedom of speech, academic freedom and more will be utilized, and change year to year depending on the needs of the campus community. This course will examine interrelated questions informing listening and dialogue across difference such as: 1. How do we make the internal experience of listening visible and legible to others? 2. How do we know we have been listened to? What does the speaker ask of the listener? What are the relationships between witnessing, testimony, and listening? 3. How do we make sense of listening as an embodied experience? 4. What ways of communicating “count” as worthy of b

Writing in the Presence of Ancestors

Writing Presence of Ances

"It seems to me interesting to evaluate Black literature on what the writer does with the presence of an ancestor...How the Black writer responds to that presence interests me." Toni Morrison, “Rootedness: The Ancestor as Foundation," 1984

When Alice Walker went "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston " she embarked on a quest for a literary ancestor, an artist, and creator, who, as Toni Morrison writes in "Rootedness: The Ancestor as Foundation," 1984, is "of the tribe and in it." Who are these "timeless people" we call our ancestors? What stories, traditions, and wisdom have they passed on to help us better understand ourselves and each other? What is our role in preserving their stories? How might they inspire us to tell our own? Using the essays "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston" and "Rootedness: The Ancestor as Foundation" as starting points, this seminar explores the intricate relationship between writers and scholars and their literary ancestors who are also, at times, mentors and friends. We examine how they have delved into the lives and works of their chosen literary ancestors, using scholarly analysis, personal reflections, memoir, travelogue, and other creative methods to probe, honor, challenge, and expand our view and understanding of their predecessors.

Folklore Past and Present

This course moves from Serbia and Bosnia, to Ukraine and the Czech lands, through Poland to Russia and Finland and then on to the southern Siberian steppes and finally the Russian Far East. Along the way, the course is divided into three major thematic and theoretical units.

Epics and Ballads: History, Performance, Identity 

Our first focus is on historical songs in the context of Romantic nationalism. We will explore why people (philologists) began to write these down, and how they were they edited and organized into print books. We discuss what these publications meant in the context of Romantic nationalist movements for political autonomy from the Ottoman or Hapsburg Empires. Given the stakes, some scholars were (maybe too) creative with their material. We will ask: What makes an epic text authentic, as opposed to an invented tradition, or even a fake? Throughout, we will pay attention to how traditions of oral performance were learned and transmitted within specific communities of artists, such as Ramadan performers, upper-class Bosnian women, and Ukrainian minstrels.

Words in Context: Poetry, Power, Positioning

Our second unit begins with the theoretical redefinition of folklore in the 20th c. Folklore is no longer defined by
who
performs it (e.g. peasants), but by its characteristics of variation and localization. We begin with a genre that anyone can perform—the proverb. To understand the power of small forms we need place them in their real-world context. We learn about ethnographic interviewing methods aimed at eliciting the local meanings of folklore. We consider relationship between the body and verbal folklore in south Siberian shamanism and in the performance of charms by folk healers in Russia and Finland. In order to bring the study of folklore home, to us at Columbia, we consider campus legends and folklore of the COVID-19 pandemic. This unit provides students with the tools needed to design and carry out their own mini-ethnography, which serves as the final project for the course.

Oral Narrative: Legends, Fairytales, Cross-Cultural Motifs

Our last major unit is dedicated to folk narrative—the memorate (personal narrative), the legend and the fairytale. We begin with Russian memorates about nature and house spirits. Narratives told as true events (memorates, legends) are contrasted with the genre of the fairy tale. We learn about how fairy tales were typically performed

Data, Race, Power and Justice

For more than a century, scientists, policy makers, law enforcement, and government agencies

have collected, curated and analyzed data about people in order to make impactful decisions.

This practice has exploded along with the computational power available to these agents. Those

who design and deploy data collection, predictive analytics, and autonomous and intelligent

decision-making systems claim that these technologies will remove problematic biases from

consequential decisions. They aim to put a rational and objective foundation based on numbers

and observations made by non-human sensors in the management of public life and to equip

experts with insights that, they believe, will translate into better outcomes (health, economic,

educational, judicial) for all.

But these dreams and their pursuit through technology are as problematic as they are enticing.

Throughout American history, data has often been used to oppress minoritized communities,

manage populations, and institutionalize, rationalize, and naturalize systems of racial violence.

The impersonality of data, the same quality that makes it useful, can silence voices and

displace entire ways of knowing the world.

Abolition: Theory and Practice

This course will follow the idea of abolition as expressed first through the eighteenthand

nineteenth-century struggle to end chattel slavery in the Americas, and then as it has come

to define the struggle against over-policing and mass-incarceration in the late twentieth and

early twenty-first centuries.

In the first half of the class, we will consider abolition in England and its colonies, Haiti,

Cuba, and the U.S. In so doing we will examine both primary sources from abolitionist print

culture (narratives by fugitives from slavery, speeches, poems, and polemical tracts), as well as

secondary sources by historians, literary critics, and political theorists. In the second half, we

will likewise read writing by activists (some incarcerated or formerly incarcerated, and some

not) alongside journalism and scholarship from the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of carceral

studies. Across both periods, Black writers will take up the bulk of our attention.

TOPICS in MICROHISTORY

TOPICS IN MICROHISTORY

In the 1970s and 1980s a group of young Italian historians transformed the methods of historical inquiry and narrative. This class explores the origins, the diffusion, as well as the debate around Italian Microhistory across Europe and the United States. In particular, we will focus on “cultural” and “social” Microhistory and its evolution in Italy, France, and the US. We will read masterpieces such as Carlo Ginzburg’s
The Cheese and the Worms
, as well as Nathalie Zemon Davis’s
The Return of Martin Guerrre.
Also, we will analyze the current application of microhistorical methods to contemporary global history and the genre of biography. Topics include pre-modern popular culture and literacy, minority and marginality, the Inquisition, individual and collective identities, and the relation between the pre-modern Mediterranean, Europe and the world.

Word and Grammar

Many modern theories of grammar are almost entirely based on English, having been developed mainly to describe the structure of English and, to a much lesser extent, other familiar languages of Europe.  But the languages of the world are highly diverse, many of them, in contrast to English, with highly complex word and inflectional structures and relatively simple phrasal structures.  Theories of grammar built on English serve such languages poorly.  This course seeks to address this imbalance by focusing on languages with complex morphological and morphosyntactic structures.  Because the grammars of such languages are built around word structures, we will be exploring current lexicalist theories of grammar such as Lexical Functional Grammar and Construction Grammar to develop formal explicit analyses of these languages.  One learns morphological and morphosyntactic analysis by doing it across languages of various types, so we will regularly be working through problems to analyze in class.

FIN DE SIECLE UKRAINIAN LIT

The course focuses on the emergence of modernism in Ukrainian literature in the late 19th century and early 20th century, a period marked by a vigorous, often biting, polemic between the populist Ukrainian literary establishment and young Ukrainian writers who were inspired by their European counterparts. Students will read prose, poetry, and drama written by Ivan Franko, the writers of the Moloda Muza, Olha Kobylianska, Lesia Ukrainka, and Volodymyr Vynnychenko among others. The course will trace the introduction of feminism, urban motifs and settings, as well as decadence, into Ukrainian literature and will analyze the conflict that ensued among Ukrainian intellectuals as they shaped the identity of the Ukrainian people. The course will be supplemented by audio and visual materials reflecting this period in Ukrainian culture. Entirely in English with a parallel reading list for those who read Ukrainian.

THE WRITERS OF PRAGUE

After providing an overview of the history of Prague and the Czech lands from earliest times, the course will focus on works by Prague writers from the years 1895-1938, when the city was a truly multicultural urban center. Special attention will be given to each of the groups that contributed to Prague’s cultural diversity in this period: the Austro-German minority, which held disproportionate social, political and economic influence until 1918; the Czech majority, which made Prague the capital of the democratic First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938); the German- and Czech-speaking Jewish communities, which were almost entirely wiped out between 1938 and 1945; and the Russian and Ukrainian émigré community, which—thanks in large part to support from the Czechoslovak government—maintained a robust, independent cultural presence through the 1920s and early 1930s. Through close reading and analysis of works of poetry, drama, prose fiction, reportage, literary correspondence and essays, the course will trace common themes that preoccupied more than one Prague writer of this period. In compiling and comparing different versions of cultural myth, it will consider the applicability of various possible definitions of the literary genius loci of Prague.

Expressive Culture of Soviet and Indepen

Exp Cult of Sov & Ind Geo

Expressive culture in the form of traditional and mediated performing and visual arts, film and literature has reflected and shaped modern Georgian social life in immeasurable ways. This seminar brings anthropological perspectives to bear on how expressive culture has served to articulate national and local senses of identity, grappled with collective trauma, and forged avant-garde creative networks within and beyond Georgia’s borders in the socialist and postsocialist periods. The course is organized in three units: it begins by interrogating the curatorial interventions of international organizations like UNESCO and their role in commodifying Georgian culture for global markets, proceeds by exploring powerful creative responses to colonial and totalitarian experience, and concludes by focusing on the capital city of Tbilisi–its built spaces, ever-changing social configurations, and shifting value systems–as a persistent muse in expressive cultural forms.

There are no prerequisites and the course assumes no prior knowledge of Georgian history, language, or culture.
