  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote

Through both the anthropological lens and the lens of the camera, students will articulate an anthropological problem and seek to explore that problem by producing a photographic essay. Together we will work through the politics of representation in their work - especially as it relates to religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, class, race, and ethnicity. By taking ethnographic photographs of their own communities, and participating in critical discussions, students will endeavor to consider the role of visual representation in anthropological inquiry.

What role did food and food writing play in the shaping of early modern English culture? We will consider a range of topics: the impact of global trade and exploration upon Renaissance cuisine; literature's role in disseminating global knowledge and emergent conceptions of good taste; the ways in which older conceptions of communal consumption were revived or nostalgically recreated during a time of rapid social and political change. This course explores not only early modern literature's connection to larger cultural and culinary trends but also the way in which literary practices themselves were often figured as acts of digestion, distillation, gathering, or cultivation.

After a careful consideration of the political and philosophical implications of the Western, we will track the development of the genre as it responds to the ideological contradictions and cultural tensions of 20th-century American history, focusing on broad trends within the mainstream, the contributions of individual directors, and the global dissemination of generic elements.

  Enrollment limited to 7 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote  
    Cross-listing: AMST-857-90, ENGL-857-90
  Crime fiction has been an amazingly resilient and pliable genre, a cultural barometer registering revisions to cultural fantasies about knowledge and power, sex and gender, race and ethnicity, violence and freedom. Its character types are interwoven into the fabric of popular culture, from the detective to the sociopath, the femme fatale to the street tough. This course will trace an alternative American history through the brutal, lurid, and stylish crime fiction of the 20th century. We will explore its pulp roots through Dashiell Hammett, its modernist peaks with Raymond Chandler, its post-war weirdness in Chester Himes and Patricia Highsmith, and its contemporary renaissance by George Pelecanos.

  In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of people were “disappeared,” tortured and murdered in Latin America and the Caribbean, mostly by military regimes and by para-military death-squads.

This course explores how these central notions, the human and rights, have evolved in theory and in practice in the history of the Americas. The course begins with the 16th-century debates among the Spaniards over the “humanity” of Indians and enslaved Africans; it then covers distinguishing elements of the human and rights within the legal structures of the nations created after independence from Spain in the 1820s and before the more contemporary conceptions of human rights in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the crimes against humanity during WWII. Finally, the modern conception and practice of human rights defense and legal monitoring are explored in case studies in the region from the late 1940s to the 1980s.

  Who is the animal? In an effort to explore this and related questions this course will serve as a philosophical investigation into the essence of non-human animals.

  NOTE: This course will be offered remotely from Rome.
  This course will take a detailed look at the Holocaust principally from an Italian perspective. Through a combination of class lectures and discussions, film screenings and readings, students will be able to connect decisions taken in Fascist Italy with the end result of forced labour and mechanised killing.

Having established the processes and practicalities by which Jews in Italy were rounded-up and deported from occupied Italy, students will reflect upon debates surrounding guilt and how this has been used to excuse or deflect responsibility for the deportation and murder of religious and political prisoners. Instruction will consist of a series of online lectures and class debates around assigned readings, film and literature. Throughout the duration of course we shall be reading and discussing Primo Levi’s account of his experience of surviving Auschwitz in If this is a Man.

  Enrollment limited to 12 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: Remote  
  NOTE: This course will be offered remotely from Rome.
  This course is organized around a series of controversies regarding the European Union. The EU has become the world's largest market, with over 500 million people. It is unique in world history in creating a form of government across 27 nation states without military conquest or force. It has become an economic, diplomatic and arguably a political actor at a superpower level, though militarily it remains less important. What is Europe exactly? How far can it or should it expand? Is Europe Christian, Secular, Liberal, Socialist? Who else should join - Turkey, Russia, Israel, North African countries? Is the European Social Model an alternative to American Free Market policies? Can it Survive Globalization? Can Europe replace the US a leader of the West? How does the EU work-is it really democratic? If so, how do the citizens of 27 countries influence their continental governmental bodies? Who is in charge and how do the institutions of Europe work? Is the Euro the future reserve money for the world economy, replacing the dollar? Students who complete ROME 327 may not earn credit for POLS 337.
