    Instructor(s): H. Rindisbacher
    Credit: 1

    Based on a blend of texts from history, the social sciences, literature, and the arts, this cultural-studies course provides students with a survey of how humans have depicted, thought of, and written about work. Why do we work? How do we work? Where and when do we work? Who works? and who has leisure? The course privileges somewhat European and German ideas (Marx, Weber, socialist class and gender concepts of work) but is open to broader comparative and global contributions. It addresses issues of labor, the large-scale social and economic organization of work for an industry or a nation, as well as the psychological, emotional, individual dimension of identity, self-worth, and one’s social standing.

  • GRMT180H PO - Germany Black and White: Race, Xenophobia, and Germany History

    When Offered: Fall 2021.
    Instructor(s): H. Rindisbacher
    This is a half-credit English-language version of the German-language GERM180 PO offered for all students who do not have advanced German language capabilities (German-44 or higher to enroll in the full credit GERM180 PO) but are interested in the thematics. Based on a blend of sources, this cultural-studies course provides a survey of the current state of race relations and racial discourse in the German-speaking countries. It draws on input from literary texts, discussions in media, presentations in film and other visuals, and experiences in daily life. A key goal of the course is, beyond the broad content focus on questions of race, migration, xenophobia, class, and DEI, to offer an alternative view of these topics beyond the US-American debate. Many students are doubtlessly already acquainted with the latter, and the course provides a new lens on these questions through the cultural historical parameters of a different country/culture. Lastly, the course also presents national and transnational efforts (for instance via the EU) to address the social ills of racism and discrimination.

  • HIST008 PO - Heroes and Heroines in the Ancient Mediterranean

    When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2019.
    Instructor(s): B. Keim
    Credit: 1

    From the blood-drenched battlefields of Troy to the rhetorical schools of imperial Rome, from Gilgamesh’s early quest for immortality to Perpetua’s willing embrace of martyrdom, famous stories of heroic individuals not merely edified and entertained audiences across the ancient Mediterranean but fundamentally shaped their own values and experiences. In this course we will explore how common narratives of heroism and of the well-lived life shaped the political and cultural histories of the Mediterranean world from 3000 B.C.E. to 400 C.E., from the rise of the earliest Ancient Near Eastern empires through the decline of the Roman Empire. There will be a strong emphasis on engaging with the ancient sources in translation, with readings drawn especially from the genres of epic (Homer’s Iliad, Epic of Gilgamesh, Hesiod’s Works & Days), historiography (Herodotus, Thucydides, Sallust, Livy, Tacitus), and biography (Law Code of Hammurabi, Xenophon’s Agesilaus, Plutarch’s Lives, and the Passion of Perpetua).

    This course offers a broad history of the greater Mediterranean world from the first to the fourteenth centuries with particular attention to 1) the competition between its Greek, Latin, and Arabic sectors for hegemony in the region, and 2) the interplay between the Abrahamic and Socratic legacies that shaped the writings of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims who inhabited the region.

    Credit: 1

    A history of Christian sanctity from the first to the thirteenth centuries, predicated on the notion that you can tell a lot about a past culture by the way it conceived of its heroes. The bulk of the readings are saints’ lives written by Christian hagiographers whose collective task it was to construct a timeless sense of Christian perfection out of a seemingly infinite variety of individual cases. Learning how to read these curious texts for the information they contain about the late antique/medieval mind-set is the principal challenge of the course. Letter grade only.

    The crusades and the Spanish reconquista opened the door to a deeper Medieval European experience of Asia and Africa and laid the groundwork for the European expansion of the Americas. This course will focus on firsthand accounts of those medieval European soldiers, sailors, chaplains, missionaries and merchants who found themselves in such uncharted territory. We will use these primary sources to reconstruct medieval European perceptions of non-Europeans in an effort to appreciate the formative role that such “imagining” of the other played in the construction of European identity.

    When Offered: Each fall.
    Instructor(s): V. Silverman
    Credit: 1

    US history in the last 150 years has revolved around battles over equity in the economy, the control of government, the fighting of wars and the possibilities for social justice. This course introduces students to the study of these conflicts through an examination of power in politics, society and the economy. Students will learn key historical methods as they consider four crucial periods: The disappointing aftermath of the Civil War, the fight over corporate industrial capitalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the triumph of the statist New Deal order in the 1930s and the return of inequality in the neoliberalism of recent decades. Because historical questions are informed by contemporary issues and debates, the class will also address current events that emerge from the way Americans settled these older conflicts.

    In this course we will examine the connections between religion in America and transnational diasporas, empires, and missionary networks.

This course examines six religious traditions, three that began overseas and spread to North America, and three that began in the United States and then spread globally. We begin by considering how Spanish Catholicism, English Puritanism, and contemporary Islam encountered the American context, and then analyze the American roots and transnational spread of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Mormonism, and Pentecostalism.

    Revolutions shook the world repeatedly over the course of the twentieth century. The ways that the great powers, particularly the United States, reacted to these momentous events have been central to making the modern world. Efforts to create new societies and power structures or reimpose elite rule have been met with wildly different from reactions from the United States and are key to understanding how our world came to be. From the Mexican Revolution in 1910 to the Honduran Coup 100 years later, this course traces political, social and economic upheavals and interventions that have determined the course of history.

    California lies at the western coast of the United States, as well as in the northern borderlands of Latin America, on the eastern edge of the Pacific world, and in the heart of indigenous homelands. As a result, California has long been a place of incredible diversity. At times, Californians have responded to this diversity with violence and exclusion, but that same diversity has enabled Californians to imagine new futures for their state and the world. This course is affiliated with Environmental Analysis, and will explore the ecological history of California, from pre-contact Native land use to modern struggles over water and wilderness.

    When Offered: Last offered spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): S. Yamashita
    Credit: 1

    A single question inspired this seminar: what explains the relationship of food and the environment in Asia and the Pacific over the last century (1915-2015)? Over the course of the semester, we will examine four different answers to that question. We will ask how has the definition of specific Asian cuisines shaped their relationship to the environment? Then we will turn to the creators of cuisines—chefs—and ask how have their culinary decisions affected the environment? The third section will consider the way restaurants market themselves and ask what do their representations reveal about their relationships with the environment. And the last section will focus on the important farm-to-table movement and ask how, if at all, has it changed prevailing views of food and the environment? Letter grade only.

    This research seminar critically engages with debates about the nature and negotiation of honor in ancient Greece.
