The TA workshop supports all TAs assisting professors in LACS language courses. Students will be introduced to the profession of language teaching; they will gain familiarity with professional organizations; and they will learn basic principles and best practices of second-language teaching based on the latest research in the field. Students will engage in class observations in focused units that build on workshop readings. Students will reflect on their observations and will create sample activities for their students based on the examples provided. The workshop, conducted in English, meets once weekly and is required to earn 1.0 credits as a TA in LACS. A student's final grade for a TA credit combines the workshop (.5 TUs) and their work assisting a LACS class (.5 TUs). |

Translation is one of the most critical skills for navigating our globalized world. Whether we are reading news stories from across the globe, watching Netflix shows from other languages and cultures, or studying abroad, we confront situations in which translation matters. In this course, students will develop practical skills in the art of translation, while also studying some of the crucial theories and questions that inform the field of Translation Studies. From infamous translation controversies to contemporary debates around translation and identity, our readings and discussions will analyze the political, ethical, and cultural stakes of translating. Given the practical component of the course, in which students workshop their own translations-in-progress, an intermediate-level knowledge of any language besides English is required (completion of 202 level or equivalent). |

This course introduces works by Japanese American authors and Japanese authors who write while living in foreign countries. Learning about the early formation of the Japan-U.S. relationship, we will move onto the dark period between the two countries before and during WWII to contextualize Japanese American works about internment camps. To learn how Japanese American literature has developed in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we will continue to read recent Japanese American works that are hinged upon the theme of cultural borders and differences. We will examine the dynamics of different cultural and linguistic experiences also in Japanese literary works by Yoko Tawada and Ian Hideo Levy. Readings also include works by John Okada, Hisaye Yamamoto, Julie Otsuka, Karen Tei Yamashita, and Ruth Ozeki. |

From the epic exploits of Gilgamesh to the myth of Prometheus to the serpent's whisper to Eve, the desire for knowledge and the dire consequences of its attainment is one of humankind's oldest conflicts. This course will take up the legend of medieval scholar Johann Faustus, to examine questions of access, control and power relating to knowledge. The primary sources will be literary versions of the tale, beginning with its medieval chapbook origins and then moving through Christopher Marlowe, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Thomas Mann. In addition to these texts, this course will also engage with various philosophical, theological and sociological readings to contextualize and expand upon how literary versions of the tale frame issues of authority, gender, politics and faith in relation to knowledge. |

Propaganda is everywhere. We see it in politics, in consumer culture, and in entertainment we consume. This course explores the use of cinema as a medium in service of political objectives. Taking a chronological approach, this course will explore the origins of propaganda and film in the early twentieth century up to the present day. Students will be introduced to theoretical models of propaganda and various methods and forms in visual culture. With a primary emphasis on the American and European context, this course will examine how film was weaponized during critical moments in the twentieth century as in World War I and II, during the Cold War, as well as how it is used today. All coursework in English. Films will have English subtitles. |

This course examines the cultural, political, and social identity of women in contemporary Italy as represented in literature and in film. Italy is also a country of mass migration and, therefore, many recent migrant women from the Mediterranean region are also writing about their experience and about life in Italy. Topics include: Women writers as active agents of social and political change in patriarchal Italy, the clash of cultural identities and roles, and the impact of post-colonial theory and practice on gender in Italy. Authors and filmmakers include Ribka Sibhatu, Randa Ghazy, Gabriella Ghermandi and Cristina Ali Farah |

This course explores language's dynamic and multifaceted connections to social practices and power relations through literary texts, linguistic research, press articles, and other forms of cultural production in French. In what ways does language facilitate self-expression and interpersonal communication or, conversely, limit and restrict meaning? How have different individuals and groups responded to such constraints? Possible topics will include current and historical developments in French, tensions between national and regional languages (both in and outside of Europe), expressions of gender inclusivity, and language's relationship to power structures and institutions. Course conducted in French. |

From the epic exploits of Gilgamesh to the myth of Prometheus to the serpent's whisper to Eve, the desire for knowledge and the dire consequences of its attainment is one of humankind's oldest conflicts. This course will take up the legend of medieval scholar Johann Faustus, to examine questions of access, control and power relating to knowledge. The primary sources will be literary versions of the tale, beginning with its medieval chapbook origins and then moving through Christopher Marlowe, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Thomas Mann. In addition to these texts, this course will also engage with various philosophical, theological and sociological readings to contextualize and expand upon how literary versions of the tale frame issues of authority, gender, politics and faith in relation to knowledge. |

Propaganda is everywhere. We see it in politics, in consumer culture, and in entertainment we consume. This course explores the use of cinema as a medium in service of political objectives. Taking a chronological approach, this course will explore the origins of propaganda and film in the early twentieth century up to the present day. Students will be introduced to theoretical models of propaganda and various methods and forms in visual culture. With a primary emphasis on the American and European context, this course will examine how film was weaponized during critical moments in the twentieth century as in World War I and II, during the Cold War, as well as how it is used today. All coursework in English. Films will have English subtitles. |

This course examines the ways in which deviant behavior such as murder, infanticide, seduction and "madness" are represented in German literature from the 17th through the 20th centuries. At stake will be tracing out the ways in which literary notions of good and evil reflect larger moral and social issues. The course will focus on poems, short stories, dramas and novellas in order to introduce students to important periods of German literary history while examining the historical changes in the larger German moral sensibility. Close reading of texts, conversation, presentation and varied writing assignments will prepare students to both write about and orally discuss the formal, stylistic and historical elements of the texts. Readings will include: Schiller, Goethe, Hoffmann, Droste-Huelshoff, Hauptmann. |

Throughout its history Latin America has seen many human rights violations: from the colonial period, to the very present with the migration crises, and the political and economic instability of many countries. Nonetheless, through many of the region's efforts, its human rights procedures have established significant precedents around the world. This course explores how literature has become a tool for human rights advocacy in Latin America, as both to show the speaker's humanity and to reflect on a "narrative" that at times counter the "official stories" presented by nation states, and opposes the assumed Western overemphasis on history as a source of legitimacy. Students will recognize the many human rights violations in the region, analyze and reflect on its literary production. Course taught in Spanish. |

This course examines the cultural, political, and social identity of women in contemporary Italy as represented in literature and in film. Italy is also a country of mass migration and, therefore, many recent migrant women from the Mediterranean region are also writing about their experience and about life in Italy. Topics include: Women writers as active agents of social and political change in patriarchal Italy, the clash of cultural identities and roles, and the impact of post-colonial theory and practice on gender in Italy. Authors and filmmakers include Ribka Sibhatu, Randa Ghazy, Gabriella Ghermandi and Cristina Ali Farah |

Film screenings will be in Italian with English subtitles. Lectures and coursework will be in English. Students wishing to apply this course toward the major in Italian must secure permission of the instructor.

This course offers a guide to the Japanese script system (kana and kanji) for intermediate-level students and beyond. We will mainly focus on kanji and consider their history, orthography, and analysis, but students will also consider kanji-learning strategies and commit to learning a particular set of kanji over the course of the semester. In a few classes we will study chirography and calligraphy by practicing them. Students are expected to review kanji they have learned while learning new kanji. The course work includes reading articles about Japanese aesthetics and calligraphy. The course is thus intended to support and supplement Intermediate and Advanced Japanese classes. As a supplementary course, this course does not fulfill any Japanese major or minor requirements. This course is repeatable for credit. |

This course introduces works by Japanese American authors and Japanese authors who write while living in foreign countries. Learning about the early formation of the Japan-U.S. relationship, we will move onto the dark period between the two countries before and during WWII to contextualize Japanese American works about internment camps. To learn how Japanese American literature has developed in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we will continue to read recent Japanese American works that are hinged upon the theme of cultural borders and differences. We will examine the dynamics of different cultural and linguistic experiences also in Japanese literary works by Yoko Tawada and Ian Hideo Levy. Readings also include works by John Okada, Hisaye Yamamoto, Julie Otsuka, Karen Tei Yamashita, and Ruth Ozeki. |

This course examines major works of Japanese crime literature and film from the works of Edogawa Rampo, known as the father of crime fiction in Japan, to those of contemporary writers to explore social and moral issues reflected in them. While Japanese writers and filmmakers of this genre readily acknowledge Western influences, the literary and cinematic explorations of crime in Japan have also developed ona trajectory of their own, producing works that are easily distinguishable from those of other cultures. The course will also consider the mixing of the crime genre with others, such as ghost and science fiction genres. Works studied in this course include those of Edogawa Rampo, Akira Kurosawa, Miyuki Miyabe, Seicho Matsumoto, and Kobo Abe, as well as yakuza movies. Readings and discussion in English. |

An exploration of recurring themes in Russian culture through the examination of prose fiction, poetry, theater, film and the visual arts. Emphasis will be placed on canonical works to give students a foundation in the Russian tradition. Since cultural continuity needs to be studied in the context of cultural change, we will simultaneously do an overview of important moments in Russian history from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. Students will write a paper every week about an aspect of Russian culture as it appears in the works we are examining. All reading, writing and discussion will be in Russian. Prerequisite: Russian 222 or permission of the instructor. (This course is also offered under the Russian and Eurasian Studies program.) |
