GLOBAL HIST OF THE US MILITARY

America's wars in context. Charts the expansion of U.S. military power from a band of colonists to a globe-girdling colossus with over three million personnel, some 900 bases around the world, and an annual budget of approximately $780 billion: 55 percent of federal discretionary spending, and more than the next 10 largest nations combined. Introduces students to the history of American military power from King Philips War in 1675 to the ongoing conflict in Iraq; the economic, political, and technological rise of the military-industrial complex and national security state; the role of the armed services in international humanitarian work; and the changing role of the military in domestic and international politics.

CONTEMPORARY TEXTS

THE CONTEMPORARY SHORT STORY

We will read selections from several anthologies of international short stories and poems, The Art of the Story, Rotten English, Mixed, Masterworks of Latin American Short Fiction (do not purchase these until the textbook order is in). We will enjoy and analyze works by such prominent and thought-provoking authors as Atwood, Galeano, Narayan, Ngugi, Mahfouz, Cortazar, Garcia Marquez, McEwan, Murakami, and Winterson (to name a few). The selected stories and poems cover the gamut of modern experience in diverse cultures and exhibit an exciting range of narrative and poetic styles. Our fundamental questions: How do these writings illuminate different dimensions of social life in our complex, globalized world? How do the readings vary depending on the author's home or adoptive culture? Do certain themes emerge as "universal"? How do these works explore ethical values, and what lessons might we learn for living in our dynamic but troubled world? Each student will make a presentation on a work of her/his choosing, and students will also be required to write a substantial paper on a favorite author.

JACKSON POLLOCK & NY SCH

Coming on the heels of the MoMA's blockbuster exhibit, this seminar will trace the rise and fall of Abstract Expressionism, from its pre-World War II precipitates in Europe (Surrealism) and in America (Regionalism), to the crucial moment when, as scholar Serge Guilbaut has argued, New York "stole" the idea of modern art, and finally, through the decade when Pop Art rendered Abstract Expressionism obsolete. Although special emphasis will be given to Jackson Pollock, whose persona and work reside at the literal and figurative center of the movement, we will also look closely at works by Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Willem DeKooning, Lee Krasner, Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Eva Hesse, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Cy Twombly.  Class lectures and presentations will be supplemented with trips to New York's world-renowned museums.

THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF VIOLENCE

This course will explore contemporary anthropological approaches to the issue of violence with an exploration of three particular themes. Our main focus will be on the idea of representation, ethnographically and theoretically, of the concept of violence. First, we will look at how violence has been situated as an object of study within anthropology, as a theoretical concept as well as in practice. We will then look at the issue of terrorism and how anthropology as a discipline contributes to understanding this particular form of violence. Finally, we will consider gender-based violence with close attention to the colonial/post-colonial settings where Islam is a salient factor. Gender based violence is one of the main forces producing and reproducing gender inequality. We will pay particular attention to the concept of the "Muslim woman" in both the colonial and colonized imagination.

FR EXPRESSV DANCE-NYC & PARIS

Cross-Atlantic influences from both French ballet and French modern dance as seen on the stages of New York City. The course examines not only French dancers and choreographers, but also French conceptions of the expressive body seen in other urban art forms. We study the New York School of Poetry, Painting, Theatre, Dance and Music; French influences on the repertory of American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet; the Paris Opera Ballet; the contributions of American choreographers such as Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown on French dance; and the theatrical impulse in recent French contemporary dance. We will make use of French critical theory ( Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Barthes, Proust, and the work of recent French feminists) to understand how distinct cultures create differing notions of the expressive body. These texts will also help us to see how individual and social movement patterns are created on the stages and in the streets of metropolitan Paris and New York City. When possible, we will attend modern dance performances, and productions of American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet. As well, we will visit New York City museums and gallery exhibits, and allied cultural events that help to illustrate the lyric French style. The course will be conducted in English. No prerequisites.
