use a sufficient range of language to be able to give clear description;



express viewpoints on most general topics;



show a relatively high degree of grammatical control;



use cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear and coherent discourse;



give detailed descriptions and presentations on a wide range of subjects related to their fields of interest, expanding and supporting their ideas;



write clear and detailed text on a variety of subjects related to their field of interest, synthesizing and evaluating information and arguments;



understand straightforward factual information about common everyday life;



interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes for regular interaction;



express news and views effectively in writing, and relate to those of others;



express themselves appropriately in different cultural and communicative situations;



and be aware of the most significant differences between the customs, usages, attitudes, values, and beliefs prevalent in the Italian culture and those of their own.

DEAD MOTHERS AND WICKED STEPMOTHERS: THE

DEAD MOTHER-WICKED STEPMO

You know them well: on one side, the scheming, jealous stepmother, obsessed with her fading youth. On the other, her husband’s virginal, naive, and beautiful daughter – whose own mother is usually dead. The conflict between them is so familiar that it feels inevitable. Where, though, did these nearly universal figures come from? Why are they so ingrained in the imaginations of people around the world and across the millennia? In this course, we’ll explore the roots of the maternal in folk and fairy tales. We’ll analyze a variety of stories and films to investigate the “absent mother,” “virginal daughter,” and “wicked stepmother” from different critical perspectives, paying special attention to analytical psychology and feminist psychoanalytic theories, to try to figure out why these figures are so compelling, so ubiquitous, and so hard to shake.

DANCE IN PARIS

This 28-day course is an immersion in Parisian culture from the point of view of the dancer.  The course is divided into three major components: technique, composition, and history.  Students will take a series of technique classes in modern, ballet, improvisation, world dance forms, and yoga, taught by Barnard/USF and international guest faculty, as well as opportunities to take alternative technique classes in some of Paris’s professional dance studios.  Students will be exposed to the rich artistic side of Paris through lectures and performances, as well as assigned readings by major dancers/writers/artists who have drawn on the Parisian landscape as inspiration for their work. 

A final choreographic project based on compositional exercises that will take students to various Parisian locales, will be presented during the final week of the course.  We will also visit many important locations essential to studying the history of dance in Western culture, including Versailles, Théâtre de la Ville and the Paris Opera.

The course covers the standard linear algebra topics: systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, bases, dimension, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, the Spectral Theorem and singular value decompositions. It also teaches applications of linear algebra to probability, statistics and dynamical systems giving a background sufficient for higher level courses in probability and statistics. The topics covered in the probability theory part include conditional probability, discrete and continuous random variables, probability distributions and the limit theorems, as well as Markov chains, curve fitting, regression, and pattern analysis. The course contains applications to life sciences, chemistry, and environmental life sciences. No a prior i background in the life sciences is assumed.

This course is best suited for students who wish to focus on applications and practical approaches to problem solving. It is recommended to students majoring in engineering, technology, life sciences, social sciences, and economics. Math majors, joint majors, and math concentrators must take MATH UN2010 Linear Algebra, which focuses on linear algebra concepts and foundations that are needed for upper-level math courses.

SPANISH FOR HERITAGE SPEAKERS

Prerequisites: SPAN UN1108 or scoring at this level on the department’s Spanish as a Heritage Language Placement test (https://columbia-barnard.vega-labs.com).

The principal aim of SPAN UN2108 is to build upon and further develop the knowledge of Spanish that heritage learners bring to the classroom – from SPAN UN1108 and/or from family and neighborhood exposure to the language. This course cultivates intermediate-level formal speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities.

Spanish heritage language courses at Columbia/Barnard focus on the development of communicative abilities and literacy from sociolinguistic and sociocultural approaches. Throughout the semester, students will be reviewing spelling patterns, building vocabulary, acquiring and effectively using learning strategies, and strengthening composition skills in Spanish. Cultural projects and readings reinforce learners’ understanding of the multiple issues related to Hispanic cultures in the United States and in other Spanish-speaking societies.

REVOLUTION & EMPIRE: HAITI & FRANCE, 178

REVOL & EMPIRE: HAITI & F

Few periods in history have stirred imaginations and been debated as much as the so-called “Age of Revolution” at the turn of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. Long seen through a self-righteous North-Atlantic lens, this era of (democratic) revolutions has today been decentered both spatially and conceptually to encompass other revolutionary upheavals around the globe and their twin other: empire. This course takes stock of these developments to explore how revolution and empire developed in tandem in France and Haiti, with ramifications across the Caribbean, Europe and beyond from 1789 to 1820. Topics covered include: the end of an “old” regime and birth of several new ones; the largest and most successful slave revolt in history; revolutionary politics and social transformation; the terror; Napoleon, Toussaint Louverture, and charismatic leadership; the first “total war” and new forms of empire-building; the legacies, memory, and forgetting of these events. Throughout, the course considers revolutionary upheaval and imperialism as intertwined processes driven both by determinate logics and by unintended consequences.

This course is lecture-based although students are expected to engage in short document-based discussions in class. All classes and readings will be English, and no prior knowledge of the period is required.

WORLD CINEMA: MEXICO

The global success of film directors Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón, and Guillermo del Toro has attracted much attention to the New Mexican Cinema. Yet this «Nuevo cine mexicano» cannot be understood without knowing the traditions of Mexico’s intricate film history. This course explores the numerous tendencies of Mexican cinema through the analysis of its most representative genres, features, and directors since the so called Golden Age (1938-1957). An in-depth analysis of films such as Emilio Fernández’s 
La perla
 (1947), Luis Buñuel’s 
Los olvidados 
(1950), Jomi García Ascot’s and María Luisa Elío's 
En el balcón vacío
 (1962), Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 
La montaña sagrada
 (1973), and Arturo Ripstein's 
Profundo carmesí
 (1996) will contribute to define the characteristics of the most relevant «national» genres – from 1940s melodramas to 1970s psychedelic movies and 1990s crime films. The study of the New Mexican Cinema of Iñárritu (
Amores perros
, 2000), Cuarón (
Y tu mamá también
, 2001), and del Toro (
El laberinto del fauno
, 2006) will comprise an examination of the complex relationship between the US and Mexican film industries, as well as a critique of the very notion of «national identity» in today’s globalized world. We will also analyze new tendencies in commercial, experimental, and documentary Mexican films – including Carlos Reygadas' 
Luz silenciosa
 (2007) and Pedro González 
Rubio's Alamar 
(2009).

ISLAM

This course is designed as an introduction to the Islamic religion, both in its pre-modern and modern manifestations. The semester begins with a survey of the central elements that unite a diverse community of Muslim peoples from a variety of geographical and cultural backgrounds. This includes a look at the Prophet and the Qur'an and the ways in which both were actualized in the development of ritual, jurisprudence, theology, and sufism/mysticism. The course then shifts to the modern period, examining the impact of colonization and the rise of liberal secularism on the Muslim world. The tension between traditional Sunni and Shi'i systems of authority and movements for 'modernization' and/or 'reform' feature prominently in these readings. Topics range from intellectual attempts at societal/religious reform (e.g. Islamic Revivalism, Modernism, Progressivism) and political re-interpretations of traditional Islamic motifs (e.g. Third-Worldism and Jihadist discourse) to efforts at accommodating scientific and technological innovations (e.g. evolution, bioethics ). The class ends by examining the efforts of American and European Muslim communities to carve out distinct spheres of identity in the larger global Muslim community ( umma) through expressions of popular culture (e.g. Hip-Hop).

MASTERS OF THE BAROQUE

This course examines three masters of European Baroque art—Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), and Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669)—artists who are all well represented in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through classroom discussions and museum visits, we will examine Baroque art as part of a continuing and developing accumulation of forms and ideas throughout the 17th century, and consider the impact these artists had on their contemporaries and in ensuing centuries. Roughly half of the class sessions take place at the Metropolitan Museum, a luxury that allows for close, firsthand analysis of art, but it is not an art appreciation course. It is a history course concerned with a study of ideas, artists, and visual facts and their application to emerging art forms within their cultural-historical context. In addition to developing a critical eye, the class is intended to develop analytical thinking and communication skills as well as knowledge of the subject matter.

American Slavery, 1619-1877

Over four hundred years, twelve million Africans were enslaved and forcibly transported to the Americas. This course traces the emergence of Atlantic slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, focusing on British North America. Students will study the consolidation of African slavery in different settings as well as the changing role of race in justifying the institution. Moving forward, this course studies how slavery and enslaved Africans affected the foundation of the United States. Students will examine how the institution shaped the development of American politics, the economy, and society more broadly. Centered around the enslaved experience, this course also delves into the world of slave owners to better understand how slavery grew, flourished, and developed into a uniquely American institution before its rapid, bloody demise.

The Hudson: Art, Industry and Ecology

Hudson: Art, Industry Eco

How has the human material and imaginative relationship to the local natural world changed as we transformed that world through development and use?  How have artists from different backgrounds documented and responded to these changes?  How have they envisioned responses that healed the environmental and social wounds caused by this development?

In the nineteenth century, painters who depicted sites along the Hudson River helped establish New York City as the capital of America’s art world.  During the same decades painters and tourists traveled upriver on steamboats to visit New York’s sublime landscapes, industrialists were building factories, foundries and mines along the Hudson’s shores, taking advantage of those same steamboats to move their products to market.  The profound, transformative industrialization of the Hudson continued and expanded through the second half of the twentieth century, at which point a nascent environmentalist movement effected the passage of laws that began to address the environmental damage it caused. 

Although the Hudson River School is seen as focusing exclusively on natural subjects, the painters recorded this history and, at times, responded critically to it.  In fact, artists have played a vital role in calling attention to the Hudson’s history of industrialization and its potential for recovery throughout the past two centuries.  At the same time, the aesthetic value of the river has been essential to the passage of environmental regulations. This course traces that story by looking closely at works of art and visiting sites associated with this history.  In addition to studying works of art tracing from early landscape painting to realist depictions of the social tolls of industry from the turn of the century to the environmental critiques of land artists and others from recent decades.  In addition, we will look at objects produced by artisans and other workers which shed light on diverse groups’ experiences of the history of the Hudson, including Native Americans, African-Americans, and immigrant laborers.

The class will combine lecture, discussion, and several field trips.  Students will produce two short critical papers and one longer essay and participate in an industrial site mapping project.

AFAS1000OC:

France’s Abolitions and Republics. 3 points.

Instructor:
Véronique Charles

​
Taught in English.

This course is
approved
as a Global Core at Columbia.

To what extent was the abolition of slavery co-constitutive to the creation and recreation of France’s first two republics? In light of a second and more “universal” abolition of slavery that France’s third republic inherited; what contradictions did the imperial nation-state carry onto the colonial conquest of Atlantic Africa? Students will explore how this particular past of slavery and its afterlife marked Black French intellectual and cultural production. This course thus bridges metropolitan and colonial histories to shed light on humanist revolutions in Europe and its limitations. Leading figures in the cultural and academic spheres of Black France will serve as guest lecturers throughout the summer term. Students will also have the opportunity to attend theatrical performances, museums, and art galleries as well as the opportunity to visit principal landmarks that attest to this larger history. "France’s Abolitions and Republics" is part of a consortium of Black France course offerings at Columbia University and other partnering U.S.-based universities.
