COMICS: READING THE MEDIUM

This course will offer an immersion in both the history and the language of comics, from the newspaper strips through the early comic books to today's graphic novels. Beginning with readings that offer a theoretical framework and an analytical vocabulary, students will examine and discuss the way page layout, panel composition, color, lettering, sound effects, and more help carry and shape the narrative, as soundtracks and shot composition do in film. Readings will include wordless works by Shaun Tan, classic works by Alison Bechdel, as well as many that may be less familiar. Students will analyze the American, Asian, and European approaches to comics. Guest speakers from the comics industry will aid in developing students' analytical skills. Instructor permission is required for registration after 5/28.

Islam in Popular Culture

This course interrogates seminal issues in the academic study of Islam through its popular representation in various forms of media from movies and television to novels and comic books. The class is structured around key theoretical readings from a range of academic disciplines ranging from art history and anthropology to comparative literature and religion. The course begins by placing the controversies surrounding the visual depiction of Muhammad in historical perspective (Gruber). This is followed by an examination of modern portrayals of Muslims in film that highlights both the vilification of the “other” (Shaheen) and the persistence of colonial discourses centered on the “native informant” (Mamdani). Particular emphasis is given to recent pop cultural works that challenge these simplistic discourses of Islam. The second half of the course revisits Muhammad, employing an anthropological framework (Asad) to understand the controversies surrounding Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses. The obsession with a gendered depiction of Islam is then examined through an anthropological framework that sheds light on the problems of salvation narratives (Abu Lughod). The course ends with a look at the unique history of Islam in America, particularly the tension between immigrant and African-American communities.

Painting in the Mid-Twentieth Century, 1

20th C Painting, 1929 1

During the mid-twentieth century painting rose to a hegemonic position among the fine arts, and then quickly descended, at least in the eyes of critics, if not the market. New technologies would enable a host of “new media” that often supplanted and always transformed traditional ones. By the 1960s the dominant narratives that had given abstract painting a logic had lost favor, and new challenges were posed to artists who wanted to work in a medium that was increasingly seen as artistically regressive. As well, institutions that had often tamed radical art in the name of aesthetic sublimation were coming under increasing fire for suppressing—by the choice to show only paintings of a certain, largely “formalist” kind—alternative voices. This course will examine the ways painters negotiated these challenges and gave rise to the proliferation of types of painting that flourished later.

Performing the City

PERFORMING THE CITY

This summer intensive investigates histories and theories of performance art through creative assignments, experiential exercises, and research projects inside and outside of the classroom. The interdisciplinary course is grounded in the rich history of performance art in New York City. Beginning with local antecedents in nineteenth century vaudeville and Dada and Harlem Renaissance following WWI, we will chart how performance art flourished in the experimental downtown milieu of the 1960s and 70s to become a crucial platform for contemporary explorations of identity, body politics, and social relations. Along the way, we will draw on the city’s museums and archives and the urban environment itself as sites of living history and collaborative learning.

Safer Medical Care & COVID-19

Enrollment in this course acknowledges the student’s participation in a Engineering Design Challenge. Students enroll ENGI E4701 for zero credit, zero fees to acknowledge their participation. Specific courses dates will be determed by the individual faculty of each section.
Section 001 Enabling safer medical care in a world shaped by COVID-19: 
COVID-19 has changed our world. The last few months have demonstrated how dangerous it can be for healthcare workers to interact directly with patients. Also, the new inherent risks of accessing medical care at a healthcare facility present a new challenge for patients and their support network.
Section 002 Reducing inequity in a world shaped by COVID-19:
 COVID has disproportionately affected different communities and has increased inequality. This includes inequality in employment, time, health care, risks, ability to communicate, education, loneliness, and connectivity. How can we reduce the rising inequality brought about by COVID?
Section 003 Accelerating scaled vaccine production to meet a pandemic response: 
Elmer Gaden, “the father of bioprocess engineering,”  pioneered deep tank fermentation of mold for the industrial production of penicillin, ushering in the modern-day bioprocess industry, and providing broad access to antibiotics in WWII and beyond.  Today, we are faced with a similar scale-up and access challenge with respect to vaccines and pandemics.  In ordinary times, the production of and distribution of vaccines presents many technical and logistical challenges. Responding to worldwide pandemics such as COVID-19  with a vaccine presents additional complexity, not only concerning safety and efficacy vis a vis novelty and speed, but also with respect to access, manufacturability, and resources. 
Section 004 Mitigating Climate Change through Innovative Energy Storage Applications: 
The transition from humanity’s reliance on fossil fuels to renewables is key to climate change mitigation.  Energy storage is necessary to achieve such goals.  With the advent of electric vehicles, we can see the transition beginning.   You are tasked with developing a new application where energy storage will help revolutionize how humanity is powered.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH: EXPLORING POLITIC

Survey, lab, and field experiments have become increasingly prominent ways of studying politics and political behavior.  In this course, we will discuss the logic of experimentation, its strengths and weaknesses compared to other methodologies, and the ways in which experimentation has been -- and could be -- used to investigate political phenomena.  We will discuss a wide array of applications; examples include ethnic discrimination, gender-based violence, voter turnout, uncivil discourse, media effects, and money-driven access to legislators.  Students will learn how to interpret and design experiments.

HOW TO WRITE FUNNY

In this class we will consider the various forms and functions of humor in written prose, discussing techniques and approaches to humor writing. Students will write their own humorous stories and essays which we will read and discuss in class, focusing not only on what is or isn't funny, but on how humor can be advantageously used to increase the power of an overall piece. The class will also break down stories, novels, and essays from a variety of authors-Bill Hicks' political satire; the darkly comedic fiction of Barry Hannah and Paul Beatty; the absurd humor of Tina Fey and Baratunde Thurston; Anthony Lane's charming British snarkiness; Spy Magazine's sharply parodic voice; Woody Allen's one-liners; Lena Dunham's zeitgeist comedy-in an effort to better understand what makes their humor work. Students will be asked to write stories inspired and influenced by these authors. As we critique each other's work, we will investigate strategies related to the craft of humor writing, including self-deprecation, political satire, humor and the other, going blue, dark comedy, schtick, humor as a means vs. humor as an end, crossing the line, and how to write funny without sacrificing substance.

CHILD RGTS: CONFLICT&PEACE BUILDING

The international norms for protecting children in emergencies, including some UN Security Council resolutions, notably resolutions 1612 and 1820, aimed at ending the abuse of children and civilians in the context of war are by most accounts stronger and more comprehensive than ever before. And yet, according to the UN Secretary-General’s (SG) annual report on children and armed conflict last year armed conflicts around the world led to at least 4,000 verified rights violations against children committed by government forces and over 11,500 by non-state militant groups. The violations include killing or maiming, recruitment or use of children in hostilities, sexual violence, using children as human bombs, abductions, the denial of humanitarian access, and attacks on schools and hospitals. About 50 percent of the estimated 26 million people currently displaced by armed conflicts and violence are children. According to UNICEF, 2017 was one of the worst years for children caught in conflicts and besieged areas. From being deployed as human shields to acting as suicide bombers, children have become targets on a vast scale.

MADE IN AMER: MAFIA IN CINEMA

In this course (whose title is taken from the name of the final episode of The Sopranos) we focus on America’s three greatest practitioners of the so-called “Mafia Movie.” In the first half of the course we examine representations of Mafia in the films of Coppola and Scorsese; in the second half, we perform a comprehensive reading of The Sopranos, a serial that redefined not only the gangster genre, but the aesthetic possibilities of television itself. In addition to our close-readings of the primary cinematic texts, we will pay attention to literary, historical, and anthropological sources on Mafia, both in America and in Italy. In the unit on The Sopranos, we will also consider connections to other contemporary representations of American gangsterism, particularly in the medium of television. Critical avenues privileged will include gender, sexuality, criminal and political economy, poetics of place, internationalism, dialect, plurilingualism and the politics of language, ethnicity and race, diaspora, philosophies of violence, philosophies of power.

REVOL/RAD POLITICS-MARX-MAY'68

This seminar will expose students to classical texts in political theory relating to revolutionary action, political ethics and social militancy from the Communist Manifesto to 1968. The course will explore the idea of revolutionary ethics as conceived by Western and non-Western political philosophers and militants. The discussion will stress the connection between philosophers and revolutionary leaders and the transformation of the idea of radical politics through the dialogue between these two discourses (the philosophical and the militant) and the public reception of revolutionary events in the media and commemorative writings. Authors will be examined according to their historical context and their role in the tradition of political thought and the history of radical politics from 1848 to the mid-sixties. Students will be exposed to different discourses of political militancy and radical politics and to reflect on the ethical implications of the history of radical thought and action in comparative perspective.
