Spring 2010 Course Listings

Courses for the spring term are listed below in an interactive table. Those courses which satisfy the multi-disciplinary or engaged study requirements are designated as 'MD' or 'ES'. New courses--home-based in AMCS or cross-listed from other departments--are designated as 'NEW.'

Courses are listed in order by number (that is, the L98 number for AMCS, not the home department number), but you can re-sort the table to gather together all the multi-disciplinary courses (MD) or engaged study courses (ES) or new courses (NEW) by clicking on the bold abbreviation in the top row. Click RESET to return the table to its default order (course number). More information for each course is made visible by clicking the plus ('+') button next to the course title. You'll find course descriptions, credit hour info, and home department course numbers.

From among the many courses offered, we want to highlight a few particularly interesting courses that come from AMCS, Film, History, and the Sam Fox School of Art. Keep these in mind as you decide on your spring schedules--and use the link to jump to WebStac and register.

• F20-4354, Readings in Postwar American Visual Culture: 1945-1965, Doug Dowd, Communication Design, Sam Fox School...more

  This course will explore the interpretation of visual artifacts from the postwar period in America, including book and periodical illustration, animation design in film and television and package design for music and consumer products. A basic grounding in visual modernism will be established. Readings will include John Updike´s "Rabbit Run," Betty Friedan´s "The Feminine Mystique," David Halberstam´s "The Fifties," Ben Shahn´s "The Shape of Content," and other works. Students will draw on the resources of the Modern Graphic History Library at Washington University to view, read and explicate primary materials from the period. One research report and a major paper will be required. CLOSE DESCRIPTION

• L98-244, War, Rebellion and the Formation of American Identity, 1754-1865, Dan Scallet, History...more

  This course will survey the United States' experiences with rebellion and organized armed conflict from the origins of the American Revolution until the Civil War. Though the class will deal with war, its focus will not be on military tactics or the outcome of battles - indeed several of the conflicts it will consider were entirely bloodless. Rather, the course will utilize war and rebellion as a prism through which to view the ways in which Americans conceived of themselves. Students will address a number of questions: How and why did people in North America conceive of themselves as distinct from Europeans? Did war lead to more inclusive or exclusive views of who was considered "American?" How did people of different backgrounds view violent conflict? Why did some wars become central to American myth and others largely forgotten? Did war and rebellion promote a newly formed nationalism or did they help lead to sectionalism and the Civil War? Readings will consist of secondary materials from a range of disciplines and primary documents that include novels, speeches, newspaper articles, letters, memoirs, editorial cartoons, and paintings.

• L98-256, Workshop in American Culture Studies, Heidi Kolk, AMCS...more

  Why study American culture? In this one-credit workshop we will explore some of the many answers to this provocative question, as well as some of the objects of study available to us as students of American culture. Intended as a foundation for the American Culture Studies (AMCS) major and minor, the course is practical, exploratory and discussion-oriented. It helps students to get acquainted with AMCS as a community while imagining the types of projects that get done there.
  
  Sessions will feature guest speakers, field trips to sites of cultural interest, and short readings that introduce different approaches to American culture studies. Students will also examine the methods and questions that define their other field(s), and identify topics and fieldwork projects that especially engage them. Along the way, they will be mentored by one of the program's Undergraduate Scholars, and helped to locate themselves in an inter-departmental program that supports a wide range of intellectual pursuits. The final assignment will be a contribution to the "anthology project," a student-generated compilation of resources and readings that will be shared with future AMCS students. CLOSE DESCRIPTION

• L98-3570, Quality Television and the "Primetime Novel," Phillip Sewell, Film and Media Studies...more

  Over the past four decades, the cultural status of television in the United States has been reconfigured and complicated with changes in industrial structures, audience formations, regulatory presumptions, and production t echniques and strategies. This course examines these interrelated forces, particularly as they have fostered a set of programs and practices often hailed as Quality Television. The class will survey the institutional paradigms that gave rise to particular generations of programming celebrated as "quality" and analyze the systems of distinction and cultural value that make the label socially and industrially salient. We will critically investigate the role of audiences and the conceptions of viewer choice at play in these developments. In addition, the course will analyze the textual features that have come to signify narrative complexity and aesthetic sophistication. We will examine foundational historical examples of this phenomenon from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Hill Street Blues and Cagney & Lacey to Northern Exposure as well as more contemporary broadcast and cable fiction such as LOST, The Wire, and Mad Men. In addition, students will be expected to watch a complete series, chosen in consultation with the instructor, as part of their final research project. CLOSE DESCRIPTION

• L98-420, Religion in America, 1945-1965, Wayne Fields, AMCS...more

  This course will examine the response of American Jewish and Christian communities to the the global politics of the Cold War, to their own international agendas, to the economic and social changes that followed a prolonged depression and a war, and most especially to the implications of WWII and the Holocaust for theology and religious ethics. We will look at a wide range of religious expression (Billy Graham, Rabbi Heschel, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Martin Luther King, Jr. will all appear on the syllabus) as well as major religious/social movements (the Civil Rights movement and ecumenism as well as the reorganization of evangelicals, etc). CLOSE DESCRIPTION

• L98-450, 9/11 and the War on Terror in U.S. Culture, David Kieran, AMCS...more

  The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 stand as the defining moment for United States foreign policy and, perhaps more generally, United States culture in the past decade. This course will examine how these attacks and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been represented in recent US culture. Our discussions will take seriously the premise that cultural texts do not simply reflect already-extant cultural ideas but rather play a critical role in the discursive production of competing ideas about events, their cultural significance, and their political import. We will interrogate how a range of texts that includes memoir, film, fiction, memorial practices, government documents, music, and media accounts have participated in shaping cultural ideas regarding not only the events of September 11 and the United States' political, military, and cultural response to them but also debates over larger questions of race, gender, citizenship, patriotism, and the United States' role in global affairs.

3	L98	112		Race and Ethnicity in American Cinema From the early documentary roots of cinema through the Civil Rights movement and to the recent democratization of the means of media production, questions of race and ethnicity have proved crucial both to the content of American films and also to the perspective from which they are made. This class will look at the representation of historical moments from the Civil War to Hurricane Katrina, the production of cinematic stereotypes as well as their appropriation for subversive purposes, and the gradual evolution of multi-culturalism as a central factor in the stories told and the telling of stories on the American screen. Students will use film texts to develop a critical understanding of one of the most important issues in American history. REQUIRED SCREENING TIME: Tuesdays at 4:00 pm. 3 units. Same as home course L53 Film 112.	Vaughan
4	L98	150		Rattle and Hum: Reading Music in Literature This course will present an overview of novels and autobiographies, some written by musicians, that deal with the meaning of music and music making as a core theme. Moving from classical music to contemporary hip-hop, the seminar will cover a variety of musical genres and consider the ways in which these different forms have been depicted in literature. How is music described in literature? Can music be understood metaphorically? How does the life story of a musician differ from that of other creative artists or does it? Do we romanticize the musician and the making of music? Has the presentation of the musician in literature and film changed over time, from jazz to rock to hip hop? In addition to the novels and memoirs we will read, we will also consider a range of films, some famous, some not, that deal with music or the lives of musicians including Jailhouse Rock and Eight Mile. (None of these films are the standard Hollywood or Broadway musical.) Readings will range from Tolstoy's The Kreutzer Sonata to John A. Williams's Clifford's Blues, from Loretta Lynn's Coal Miner's Daughter to Bob Dylan's Chronicles, Volume 1. 3 units. Same as home course L56 CFH 150.	Early/Shipe	MD
5	L98	152		Literature Seminars for Freshmen: The Voices of Our American Traditions This seminar will examine our treasury of American Rhetoric and Literature. We will study how political rhetoric and literature are intertwined in this, our nation, our source of collective identity. Students will examine speeches and literature that inspired our republic inception, gave testimony to our imperfect social contract, bridged our civil divide, and noted its cost, reassured our destiny, renewed our great society, dreamed new dreams, and responded to both interior and exterior threat. Students will study iconic Americans that shaped our collective values and nationally diverse culture. Our scope will be broad, drawing from the breadth of Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" to Barack Obama's speech on race. We will read American authors diverse as William Wells Brown, Studs Terkel, Malcolm X, Chang-Rae Lee, Roger Jack, Ruben Martinez and Philip Roth. Aimed at developing the habits of close textual analysis that are central to the study of writing and reading, the course will encourage critical thinking and analytical response. First year standing is required. 3 units. Same as home course L14 E Lit 152.	Brockmann
6	L98	154		Literature and Science An introduction to the two-cultures debate. Do scientists and "literary intellectuals" (including writers, critics, and humanists generally) view the world in mutually incomprehensible ways, as C.P. Snow claimed fifty years ago, or are there areas of significant overlap? We will focus on the relations between literature and science in general, and literature and biology in particular, as these have been examined and expressed in fiction, nonfiction and poetry of the past 150 years. First year standing is required. 3 units.	Meyer
7	L98	202		The Immigrant Experience This course explores the history and politics of immigrant groups in the 19th and 20th century United States.

8	L98	2032		Freshman Seminar: The Enigma of Thomas Jefferson An introduction to the study and use of history through an intensive examination of the lfe and times of an individual--Thomas Jefferson. Who was Thomas Jefferson, and why has his reputation undergone so many changes? How did this hero of abolitionists and a man hated by slaveholders in his own lifetime become a figure derided today for being a slaveholder with an African American mistress? How did a champion of small government become a hero of the New Deal and then an inspiration for anarchists? Do these transformations merely prove that the study of history is more a study of the people who write history--including ourselves--than of the past? This course is designed to understand how professional historians and the general public discover and use the past. Class meetings will be devoted to examination of narrative materials, critical scholarship, and primary sources. 3 units. Same as home course L22 History 2030.	Konig
9	L98	2151		St. Louis African American History The course description is currently not available.	Dace
12	L98	226		Sociological Approaches to American Health The United States faces the most pressing health care crisis in its history.

This course will be of special interest to students who intend to pursue careers with any health related component, whether in medicine, allied health, law, social work, or public service. Professionals representing a variety of health arenas will be invited to share their perspectives. 3 units.	Lindsey	MD
13	L98	227		Topics in Native American Culture: The Native American Experience This course is designed to cut across disciplinary boundaries and provide an introduction to the experiences of Native Americans since the arrival of Europeans in North America. The course is divided into three parts: Part One provides a rudimentary introduction to competing understanding of places of the origins of American Indians and addresses the early arrival of Europeans; Part Two examines the impact of US policies and practices on the American Indian population, paying particular attention to the devastating results for cultural survival and the eventual resurgence from genocidal practices; and Part Three looks more specifically at the surge of Native American culture through cultural expressions in literature, film and publicly accessible pow wows. 3 units.

15	L98	245		Images of Disability: Portrayal in Film & Literature This course will critically examine the portrayal of persons with disabilities in literature and film, exploring how those images either shape or mimic general public impressions. We will discuss the implications of messages from the media on American responses to people with disabilities, as well as formulating strategies for promoting positive, inclusive messages. Perspectives from social science, health care, communications and other fields will provide frameworks for analysis. Literature will include fiction, biography and autobiography in books, essays, drama, poetry and short stories. Selections from fictional, educational, and documentary films will be reviewed during the semester. We will also investigate images in newspapers, magazines and advertising. Credit for this course is subject to the degree requirement that stipulates a 30-unit limit for courses taught by professional schools or University College. 3 units. Same as home course L43 GeSt 249.	Kniepmann	MD
16	L98	251		Topics in AFAS: The Ebonics Controversy This course examines the controversy regarding the status of Ebonics and its role in education. Ebonics is the term often used to describe the distinct speech of 85% of the African American population. The controversy reached the national limelight in 1996 and 1997 due to a resolution by the Oakland (California) School Board which identified Ebonics as a legitimate form of speech that should be respected. The arguments about Ebonics are multi-faceted and highlight significant linguistic as well as educational and political issues. There is the basic question of just what is Ebonics: Is it a separate language, a dialect, slang, bad grammar, broken English, or really not a distinct entity? There are issues related to the term, Ebonics, as evidenced by the various names that academicians have used for the speech of African Americans, i.e. African American (Vernacular) English and African American Language. Its origins and history have also been debated: Is it a variant of Southern English or are its origins traceable to the language systems of Africa? Further, there is a fundamental, practical question of how to approach the education of African-American children whose home speech is Ebonics: Should a goal in the education of these children be the purging of Ebonics so that it does not interfere with the mastery of Standard English, or should Ebonics be used as a vehicle for learning Standard English? This course will examine these and other issues, such as the portrayal of Ebonics in the popular media as well as its use within African-American communities, through readings, films, small and large group discussions, writing assignments and lectures. 3 units.

18	L98	2601		Game Theory in Science and Culture Introduces the major intellectual insights of game theory in a nontechnical fashion, and examines the influence game theory has had on geopolitics, social philosophy, psychology, art, and the humanities. In addition to covering the basic machinery of the theory, the class will: participate in numerous illustrative classroom games; examine game theory in film, literature, and literary criticism; see how game theory has contributed to social theory; and learn about the background of game theory and its history and perception as a hoped-for tool in the Cold War.

35	L98	3121		Topics in American Literature: Girls' Fiction from Little Goody Two-Shoes to Nancy Drew The course description is currently not available.	Pawl
36	L98	3140		Topics in English and American Lit: Limited War: The Korean War in American Culture The Korean War (1950-1953) was the first "limited" war for the United States, a war not meant to mobilize the civilian population for all-out conflict with a mortal enemy, not meant to vanquish unconditionally the enemy, not meant to use the full arsenal of weapons or military options available to win a conflict. In some sense, for the United States, the Korean War was the first in a series of proxy wars that characterized the cold war, ideological and strategic battles fought by using an on-going civil conflict in another country as a way to contain a major adversary, in this case, the Soviet Union, although we actually fought the war against North Korea and China. The Korean War ended in a stalemate and Korea remains divided to this day. This course will provide a historical and political overview of the Korean War as background for intensive examination of fiction, memoir, and films. We will look at films by such directors as Sam Fuller and Lewis Milestone, as well as memoirs of Korean and American soldiers who experienced war. We will also look at the impact of racial integration on American troops, as the Korean War was the first the United States fought with an integrated military. In the final weeks of the course, we will examine aspects of the Vietnam War (1959-1975), another "limited" war that resulted in unambiguous military defeat for the United States and which had an even greater impact on American society than the Korean War. What similarities were there between the two wars? Why did the Korean War not serve as a "lesson" to prevent the United States from making the mistakes that it did in Vietnam? What can we learn from the different ways Americans views both of these "small" Asian wars? Satisfies the American requirement. 3 units. Same as home course L14 E Lit 314.	Cooper/Early
37	L98	3163		Contemporary Women's Health We will identify and study a broad range of health issues that are either unique to women or of special importance to women. The roles that women play as both providers and consumers of health care in the United States will be examined. The interface of gender, race, and class and their impact on an individual's access to and experience in the health care system will be central concerns. Our topics will be wide-ranging and will include discussions of breast cancer, mental health, cardiovascular disease in women, women and eating (from anorexia to obesity), reproductive issues (from menstruation to fertility to menopause), as well as the politics of women's health, gender differences in health status, the effect of employment on health, the history of women's health research. 3 units.

43	L98	3224		Major American Writers II: The American Dream and the Fall from Innocence This course will provide an overview of representative works of American literature from the first half of the twentieth century. The thematic focus of the course will be issues of innocence, guilt, and corruption as they play out in the intersection between the personal and the cultural, in particular within the national Edenic myth of the American Adam. We will be interested in the various modern reworkings of this biblical drama these major authors offer, both the terms in which it is to be understood and its possible means of resolution. The writers will be selected from among the following: Frost, Katherine Anne Porter, Hurston, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Nathaniel West, Robert Penn Warren. Satisfies the American requirement. 3 units. Same as home course L14 E Lit 322C.	Rosenzweig

45	L98	327		Public Opinion and American Democracy This course is about the salience of public opinion and its influence on American Politics. Topics to be covered include many of the theories developed to explain how public opinion is formed, if and why it changes, and the relationship between public opinion and the political behavior of citizens and elites. Therefore, the course will describe and analyze many of the factors that influence the formation, structure and variation in public opinion: information processing, education, core values, racial attitudes, political orientation (ideology and party identification), political elites, social groups, the media and religion. Additional topics include presidential approval, congressional approval, and the relationship between public opinion and public policy. The course will also train students in several concepts of statistical analysis (assuming no prior knowledge) so that students can use these tools as part of their own research projects. Prereqs: Previous coursework in American politics or communications. 3 units. Same as home course L32 Pol Sci 3211.	Monogan
46	L98	3270		Comics, Graphic Novels, and Sequential Art This course traces the evolution of comics in the America from the "comic cuts" of the newspapers, through the development of the daily and Sunday strips, into the comic book format, and the emergence of literary graphic novels. While not a uniquely American medium, comics have a specifically American context that intersects with issues of race, class, gender, nationalism, popular culture, consumerism, and American identity. Comics have repeatedly been a site of struggle in American culture; examining these struggles illuminates the way Americans have constructed and expressed their view of themselves. The way comics have developed as a medium and art form in this country has specific characteristics that can be studied profitably through the lens of American Culture Studies. 3 units.

This course emphasizes the American experience but also considers international implications. 3 units. Same as home course L32 Pol Sci 332B.	Lowry
49	L98	3330		Topics in Linguisitics: The American Languages Our perceptions about language are shaped by our linguistic backgrounds and practices as well as our social and political ideologies. This course examines the history of American languages in the U.S. and explores the social, educational, and political issues that surround them. Four types of languages will be studied: Native American, colonial, immigrant, and new languages (e.g., Hawaiian Pidgin and American Sign Language). We will also take a special look at the history and structure of African American Language which challenges linguistic categorizations as well as language policy and education. Among the major questions discussed in this course are: what makes American languages distinct in terms of their history and social status; what do they all have in common beyond the simple geographic classification of being "American." In addressing these questions we will also study the politics of language, the history of language policy and education in the U.S. as well as issues of current debate, such as indigenous language reclamation, the "Ebonics controversy," bilingual education, and the official English movement. 3 units.

52	L98	336		Topics in American Culture Studies: Rogues to Riches: Reading Vice and Virtue in American Life Writing Since England used its western colonies both as a means to wealth and a place to unload its convicts, stories of success in America have uncomfortably took up space beside tales of crime and roguery. This class will examine texts that take up the roles of virtue and hard work, as well those of deceit and shiftlessness in the formation of a certain kind of American personality. Reading novels, autobiographies, slave narratives, and rogue biographies in the context of sermons, advice manuals, and financial advice books, we will investigate how judgments of morality and immorality can quickly become messy. Beginning with Defoe's Moll Flanders, the story of an irredeemable female convict who makes it big in America, the class will proceed to read works that ostensibly seek to extol either a life of wickedness or a life of virtue, while invariably presenting a hodgepodge of both. Other readings might include Equiano's Interesting Narrative, Franklin's Autobiography, The Memoirs of Stephen Burroughs (an account of 18th century America's most famous forger), The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, The Life and Times of P.T. Barnum, Twain's Huckleberry Finn, Alger's Ragged Dick, and A Cool Million, Nathanel West's savage and obscene parody of the archetypal American success story. 3 units.	Conway			NEW
53	L98	3381		Topics in Politics: National Security, Civil Liberties, and the Law The American legal system attaches special significance to national security. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the courts' role in national security has become increasingly important as many measures enacted by the government since 9/11invoke constitutional and civil liberties questions. In many arenas, it will be up to the courts to determine the proper balance between national security and civil liberties. Where should the balance be drawn? The tension between liberty and security is a timeless one, and challenging even in times of peace. Times of crisis and threats to security heighten this tension. This course will consider the civil liberties implications of post 9/11 developments in areas of free speech, privacy and equal protection, looking at measures like the USA Patriot Act, ethnic and racial profiling, data collection, surveillance, detentions, and other measures. We'll examine core constitutional principles and case law in these areas and review how the courts are interpreting these new measures. 3 units. Same as home course L32 Pol Sci 3381.	Lieberman	MD
54	L98	3391		Topics in 19th and 20th Century American Writing: American Short Fiction A cultural history approach to the writing of the period, with poetry and fiction from the post World War I expatriates and their nativist critics (High Modernism--the "lost" and "Wasteland" generation), through the Depression thirties, to the stirrings of post World War II postmodern optimism. Major figures in our story: Eliot, Frost, Cowley, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, West, Baldwin and Wallace Stevens. Satisfies the American requirement. 3 units. Same as home course L14 E Lit 3391.

55	L98	3422		Americans and Their Presidents How have Americans understood what it means to be President of the United States? This course uses that question as a point of departure for a multidisciplinary approach to the presidency in the United States, examining the shifting roles of the chief executive from George Washington through Barack Obama. In addition to a consideration of the President's political and policymaking roles, this course will examine how the lived experiences of presidents have informed the ways Americans have conceived of public and private life within a broader political culture. In the process, this course will use the presidency as a means to explore topics ranging from electioneering to gender, foreign policy to popular media. 3 units. Same as L22 History 3420.

56	L98	344		Courts and Civil Liberties This course focuses on constitutional law principles in the Bill of Rights, and examines how Supreme Court decisions influence these principles in everyday life. We explore how the courts, and particularly the Supreme Court, have interpreted these rights in light of changing times and emerging issues. Topics include the First Amendment; free exercise of religion and the establishment clause; freedom of speech, assembly and association; freedom of the press; the Fourth Amendment and the rights of those accused and convicted of crimes; the right to privacy, including reproductive freedom and the right to die; equal protection and civil rights, including race, gender, sexual orientation; immigrants' rights and voting rights; and civil liberties after September 11.

58	L98	3450		Sexual Politics in Film Noir and Hardboiled Literature Emerging in American films most forcefully during the 1940s, film noir is a cycle of films associated with a distinctive visual style and a cynical worldview. In this course, we will explore the sexual politics of film noir as a distinctive vision of American sexual relations every bit as identifiable as the form's stylized lighting and circuitous storytelling. We will explore how and why sexual paranoia and perversion seem to animate this genre and why these movies continue to influence "neo-noir" filmmaking into the 21st century, even as film noir's representation of gender and sexuality is inseparable from its literary antecedents, most notably, the so-called "hard-boiled" school of writing. We will read examples from this literature by Dashiell Hammett, James Cain, Raymond Chandler and Cornell Woolrich, and discuss these novels and short stories in the context of other artistic and cultural influences on gendered power relations and film noir. We will also explore the relationship of these films to censorship and to changing post-World War II cultural values. Films to be screened in complete prints or in excerpts will likely include many of the following: The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Murder My Sweet, Phantom Lady, Strangers on a Train, The Big Sleep, The Killers, Mildred Pierce, The High Wall, Sudden Fear, The Big Combo, Laura, The Glass Key, The Big Heat, Kiss Me Deadly, The Crimson Kimono, Touch of Evil, Alphaville, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, Devil in a Blue Dress, The Bad Lieutenant, and Memento.

59	L98	3482		Rethinking the 'Second Wave': The History of U.S. Feminisms, 1960-1990 The U.S. women's movement has been called "the twentieth century's most influential movement," but until recently assessments of its origins, characteristics, and impact have been largely impressionistic and subjective, left to movement participants and popular culture. Building on a recent explosion of historical studies of American feminism, this course examines the history of the so-called "second wave" of the women's movement from its origins in the early 1960s to its alleged demise in the late 1980s. Topics to be covered include the origins of feminist activism; the traditional history of the women's movement and recent revisions; how race and class shaped the feminist movement; how feminist ideas and organizing transformed American society; feminism and individual experience; and responses to the women's movement. In this discussion-based course, we read scholarly analyses of the women's movement as well as memoirs, popular essays, and many primary documents from the period. 3 units.

62	L98	3502		Hot, Cool, and Free: Jazz as Music and Metaphor in the United States This course explores jazz as a musical practice and more broadly as a cultural and political metaphor for modernity in the 20th century. We will examine jazz allusions found in literature and the fine arts as well as conceptual uses as a metonym, as for example when it came represent American democratic ideals during the Cold War in the 1950s and 1960s. Was jazz an ideology, an ideal, an artistic philosophy, a style, a symbol of rebellion, or a fantasy? Was jazz misread and misunderstood by the various people and factions that deployed it as a metaphor? The course will examine key 20th century cultural developments in US history where jazz (as music and as cultural symbol) both shaped and was shaped by American, and specifically African American, experience. Required assignments will include secondary readings about jazz history, an active engagement with primary material-from a range of sources--dating from the early days of jazz in the 1910s to the present, and weekly listening to recorded examples. 3 units.

63	L98	351		History of Electronic Media: From Radio to Television to Digital This course traces the history of electronic media as they have become the dominant source for entertainment and information in contemporary culture, starting with over-the-air broadcasting of radio and television through to cable and the "narrowcasting" achieved by digital technologies. While some attention will be paid to other national industries, the chief focus of the course will be on electronic media in the United States to determine, in part, the transformative role they have played in the cultural life of the nation. The course will explore the relationship of the electronic media industries to the American film industry, determining how their interactions with the film industry helped mutually shape the productions of both film and electronic media. REQUIRED SCREENING TIME: Tuesdays at 7 p.m. 3 units. Same as home course L53 Film 350.	Sewell
64	L98	3510		Topics in American Politics: The Supreme Court The purpose of this course is to provide students with a rigorous, social-scientific understanding of the U.S. Supreme Court. Because most of the readings use statistical methods and rely on the logic of inference, "Quantitative Political Methodology" is a prerequisite for this course. Unlike a constitutional law class, we will not read Court opinions nor address normative issues regarding which laws are "right" or "good." We will instead focus on the social scientific literature on the Court to examine empirical questions such as the following: (1) Why and when does the Court change law?; (2) Do elected politicians influence how the Court decides cases?; and (3) How does bargaining among the Justices influence outcomes? One of the themes in this course is that we can understand the judiciary in terms of a political "game" in which the participants attempt to achieve their goals within the constraints of the institution and its surrounding environment. Additionally, each student will write a research paper in which he/she will seek to explain a specific empirical puzzle about the Court. The paper requires each student to develop a research design capable of testing the hypotheses. Prereqs: Quantitative Political Methodology. 3 units. Same as home course L32 Pol Sci 3510.	Spriggs
65	L98	3551		The Welfare State and Social Policy in America How can we understand the recent debate about fundamental health care reform? Should social security be partially or wholly privatized? Was the 1996 welfare reform a success? Contemporary political questions frequently focus on the American welfare state and the social policies that comprise it. The first half of this course describes the American welfare state broadly construed, places it in a comparative context, and elucidates major political science explanations for the size and scope of American social policy. We touch on several areas of social policy while constructing the generalized lenses through which particular political outcomes can be understood. The second part of the course then focuses on three major aspects of the American welfare state: health care, old age pensions, and policies related to work, poverty, and inequality. 3 units.

66	L98	3561		Women and the Law We will explore the development of women's legal rights by examining the ways in which social constructions of gender, race, class and sexuality have shaped American legal concepts within the limited bounds of traditional legal reasoning. We will begin by placing our current legal framework, and its gender, race, and other societal assumptions, in an historical and Constitutional context. We will then examine many of the critical questions raised by feminist theory, feminist legal thought, and other critical perspectives. For example, is the legal subject gendered as male, and, if so, how effectively can women use the law to gain greater social equity? What paradoxes have emerged in areas, such as employment discrimination, family law, or reproductive rights, as women have sought liberal equality? What is the equality/difference debate about and why is it important for feminists? The course is thematic, but we will spend time on key cases that have influenced law and policy, examining how they affect the everyday lives of women. This course is taught by law students under the supervision of Professor Karen Tokarz. 3 units. Same as home course L77 WGSS 3561.	Tokarz
67	L98	3570		Quality Television and the "Primetime Novel" Over the past four decades, the cultural status of television in the United States has been reconfigured and complicated with changes in industrial structures, audience formations, regulatory presumptions, and production techniques and strategies. This course examines these interrelated forces, particularly as they have fostered a set of programs and practices often hailed as Quality Television. The class will survey the institutional paradigms that gave rise to particular generations of programming celebrated as "quality" and analyze the systems of distinction and cultural value that make the label socially and industrially salient. We will critically investigate the role of audiences and the conceptions of viewer choice at play in these developments. In addition, the course will analyze the textual features that have come to signify narrative complexity and aesthetic sophistication. We will examine foundational historical examples of this phenomenon from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Hill Street Blues and Cagney & Lacey to Northern Exposure as well as more contemporary broadcast and cable fiction such as LOST, The Wire, and Mad Men. In addition, students will be expected to watch a complete series, chosen in consultation with the instructor, as part of their final research project.

68	L98	358		Laws, Politics, and Society This course is an introduction to the functions of law and the legal system in American society. The course material will stress the realities of the operation of the legal system (in contrast to legal mythology), as well as the continuous interaction and feedback between the legal and political systems. There are four specific objectives to the course: (1) to introduce you to legal concepts and legal theories; (2) to analyze the operation of the appellate courts, with particular emphasis on the U.S. Supreme Court; (3) to analyze the operation of American trial courts, especially juries and the criminal courts; and (4) to examine the linkages between culture and law. 3 units.

69	L98	360		History of the Film Score Moving pictures have always needed sound, and long before film actors could talk, the emotions on their faces were (literally) underscored with music. This course considers the breadth of film history, from the silent era to the present, by way of music and how it has been deployed for artistic effects and commercial purposes. Topics include: live accompaniment practices in silent film, thematically-integrated, original "classical" scores; pastiche scores; popular music scores; how music defines and supports various film genres; technical and creative practices behind the making of film scores; Hollywood film music versus selected world cinemas; the highly personal uses of music by important writer-directors; the power of music to generate nostalgic feelings (often for a quite recent past); the relationship between classical and popular music as vehicles of emotional expression within film narratives; and the shifting commercial connections between the music and film industries. Structured around 14 screenings, the course surveys the uses of music in narrative feature-length films, with particular emphasis on films that bring music-making as a creative human activity directly into plot or overall theme. The films range from SUNRISE (1927) to JARHEAD (2005). REQUIRED SCREENING TIME: Wednesdays at 4 p.m. 3 units. Same as home course L53 Film 360.	Decker
72	L98	3651		Black Women Writers When someone says, black woman writer, you may well think of Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. But not long ago, to be a black woman writer meant to be considered an aberration. When Thomas Jefferson wrote that Phillis Wheatley's poems were "beneath the dignity of criticism," he could hardly have imagined entire Modern Language Association sessions built around her verse, but such is now the case. In this class we will survey the range of Anglophone African American women authors. Writers likely to be covered include Phillis Wheatley, Harriet Wilson, Nella Larsen, Lorraine Hansberry, Octavia Butler, and Rita Dove, among others. Be prepared to read, explore, discuss, and debate the specific impact of race and gender on American literature. 3 units. Same as home course L90 AFAS 3651.	Zafar
73	L98	366		The Civil War & Reconstruction: 1848-1877 This course is a survey of American history from 1848-1877, focusing on the Civil War and Reconstruction. The bloody conflict, and its causes and consequences, are explored from multiple perspectives: those of individuals such as Lincoln, McClellan, Davis, Douglass, and Lee, who made momentous choices of the era; of groups such as the Radical Republicans and the black freed people that helped shape the actions of individuals; and of the historians, novelists, filmmakers and social movements that have struggled to define the war's legacy for modern America. Attention is given to the drama of battlefield action and to the sometimes quieter but no less dramatic developments of the culture and society that together made this era a watershed in American history. This course satisfies the modern course requirement for the history major. PREREQ: SEE HISTORY HEADNOTE. 3 units. Same as home course L22 History 366.	Bernstein
74	L98	367		Modern America, 1877-1929 This course will trace the enormous changes in American society during the half-century after the Civil War. We will discuss industrialization; mass immigration from Europe, Asia, and Latin America; the vast movement of rural people to cities; the fall of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow; the expansion of organized labor; the birth of American Socialism; and the rise of the American empire in the Caribbean and the Philippines. The course will, in addition, analyze the many and varied social reform efforts of the turn of the twentieth century, from women's suffrage to anti-lynching campaigns, and from trust-busting and anti-immigrant crusades to the settlement house movement. Readings will include Mark Twain's "The Guilded Age," James Weldon Johnson's "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," Jane Addams' "Twenty Years at Hull House," as well as other documents from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

75	L98	3671		The Civil Rights Movement and the Making of Modern America The Civil Rights Movement is known as a southern movement, led by church leaders and college students, fought through sit-ins and marches, dealing primarily with non-economic objectives, framed by a black and white paradigm, and limited to a single tumultuous decade. This course seeks to broaden our understanding of the movement geographically, chronologically, and thematically. It pays special attention to struggles fought in the North, West, and Southwest; it seeks to question binaries constructed around "confrontational" and "accommodationist" leaders; it reveals how Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans impacted and were impacted by the movement; and it seeks to link the public memory of this movement with contemporary racial politics.

76	L98	3688		Theories and Methods in the Study of Religion What is religion? In this course, we will explore how religious ritual may help to clarify the nature and function of religion. We will first consider some "classic" theories of religion and ritual, such as those of James Frazer, Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, Mircea Eliade, Max Weber, E. E. Evans-Pritchard, and Clifford Geertz. NOTE: This course is required for Religious Studies majors and minors. It is recommended that this course be taken after completion of L23 202 and L23 203. 3 units. Same as home course L23 Re St 368.	Adcock
77	L98	3713		Values and the Art-Culture Machine This course introduces students to a range of contexts and problems that contemporary art and culture face with respect to how to account for and value human, communal, and diverse experiences. We begin with a comparison of dominant aesthetic, spiritual, and representational practices in Modernism and Postmodernism by looking closely at science, feminism, and commodity art and culture. We consider the ethics of silence in contemporary art in relation to human suffering, and the place of humanness in relation to machines and reproductive technologies and products, including the printed picture and kitsch. We then consider the relevance of a computational understanding of human cognition and how information and experience relate. We address the role of art and artists in times of crisis and war, as well as the modes of mobilization, production, and distribution characteristic of art worlds. We question the authenticity of African tourist art and Aboriginal paintings. We highlight experiments in the representation of values and difference in contemporary art and anthropology. We conclude with a discussion of the relevance of time, fantasy, and imagination in cultural production. 3 units.	Repice	MD		NEW
78	L98	372C		History of Law in American Life II: 1776 to the Present At the founding of the American republic, new conceptions of human rights clashed with new forms of property rights created by commerce and industry. How have some Americans tried to use law to achieve "equal justice under law" -- or what is not always the same thing -- "liberty" to advance their goals? How have "the people" called on the law to create and maintain order in their communities, and at whose expense? What has been the relationship between legal change and advancements in science, technology, and medicine? Viewing law as the contested terrain of justice, cultural construction, social necessity, and self-interest, this course will pay close attention to the way Americans have used, abused, or evaded law throughout their national history. This course satisfies the modern course requirement for the history major. PREREQ: SEE HISTORY HEADNOTE. 3 units. Same as home course L22 History 372C.	Konig

80	L98	3740		Contemporary American Foreign Policy This course surveys post-War American foreign policy in historical perspective. It begins by evaluating the rise of the United States as a world power during the twentieth century, its current position of primacy and its consequences in the post Cold period, and the distinctive traditions and institutions shaping the making of American foreign policy. It then examines the origins of the strategy of containment in the early Cold War period before considering how these debates animated the changing course of American foreign policy through the various phases of the Cold War conflict. The course concludes by analyzing American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War, up to and including debates about the consequences of September 11th 2001 for the United States' position of primacy, the Bush Doctrine and the American led intervention in and subsequent occupation of Iraq. 3 units.

82	L98	3755		Disability, Quality of Life, and Community Responsibility The increasing prevalence of disability presents major challenges for American society. Social participation can be a challenge for people with disabilities, while resources to address these needs tend to be limited. This course will begin by critically analyzing concepts of disability, Quality of Life, health and social participation. We will construct a framework for examining social participation and community resources across the lifespan. Public health, educational and environmental theories and methods will be applied to programs and services that aim to enhance quality of life with disabilities. We will analyze ecological approaches to enhancing social participation. Upon completion of this course, students will be equipped to analyze challenges and prioritize resources for individual and population health. Credit for this course is subject to the degree requirement that stipulates a 30-unit limit for courses taught by professional schools or University College. 3 units.

83	L98	3765		The Art of the Harlem Renaissance: Picturing and Performing the Black Modern Subject This course examines the modern movement known as the Harlem Renaissance and its profound impact on American culture both then and now. The aim of the class is to imagine or theorize modernity not as singular event or time bound grand narrative but as a relational process consisting of various points of articulation, sometimes positioned outside of mainstream narratives. In the process of engaging the Harlem Renaissance, the class will explore several key ideas and concepts such as the development of black subjectivity, black visual and racial aesthetics, the rise of Diasporic and Pan-African consciousnesses, the re-presentation of race, gender and sexuality, and the process of "Othering" within canonical formation.

84	L98	3776		Sexuality, Courtship, and Marriage in US History This course surveys the history of practices, identities, legal constructs, and social norms relating to sexuality, courtship, and marriage. Students will particularly focus on locating the history of sexuality in its larger social, economic and cultural contexts. Students will also discuss the experience of individuals or social groups who deviated from the socially and legally constructed norms of the day in order to gain insight into how the sexual order has developed as a whole in this country. 3 units.

85	L98	379		Banned Books Why would anyone want to burn a book? Under what circumstances would you support censorship? Several years ago a Russian student was exiled to Siberia for possessing a copy of Emerson's "Essays"; today, schoolboards in the United States regularly call for the removal of "Huckleberry Finn" and "The Catcher in the Rye" from classrooms and library shelves. Actions like these dramatize the complex interconnections of literature and society, and they raise questions about what we read and the way we read. The course explores these issues by looking closely at several American and translated European texts that have been challenged on moral, socio-political or religious grounds to determine what some readers have found so threatening about these works. Possible authors: Goethe, Voltaire, Rousseau, Defoe, Hawthorne, Flaubert, Twain, Chopin, Brecht, Salinger, Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury. For a strong start to the term, try to read Ray Bradbury, FAHRENHEIT 451 and Aldous Huxley, BRAVE NEW WORLD before classes begin. Enrollment limited to juniors and seniors. 3 units.

86	L98	3880		Terror and Violence in the Black Atlantic From the period of bondage through the 21st century, terror and racialized violence have consistently been used as a form of social control. This course is constructed to explore the historical foundations of extreme threats of violence inflicted among populations of African descent. The fabric of American culture has given birth to its own unique brand of terrorism waged against black people, of which this class spends considerable time interrogating. Yet, in recognizing that these practices are commonly found in other parts of the Black Atlantic, students will be encouraged to take a comparative view to better tease out the wider strands of violence operative in places like England as well as islands within the Caribbean. Within this course we will explore the varied ways in which music, films, newspapers, and historical narratives shed light on these often life altering stories of the past. Some of the themes touched upon in this class include: the use of punishment/exploitation during the era of slavery, lynching, sexual violence, race riots, police brutality as well as motherhood, black power, and community activism. Beyond narratives of victimization, the context of this course will go even further to examine elements of criminality as well as how some black historical actors also became recognized agents of social change. This course satisfies the modern course requirement for the history major. PREREQ: SEE HISTORY HEADNOTE. 3 units. Same as home course L22 History 3880.	Mustakeem
87	L98	391		Topics in Women's Studies: Violence Against Women This course will explore the issue of violence against women within families, by strangers in the workplace, and within the context on international and domestic political activity. In each area, issues of race, class, culture, and sexuality will be examined as well as legal, medical and sociological responses. Readings will cover current statistical data, research, and theory as well as information on the history of the battered women's movement, the rape crisis center movement, violent repression of women's political expressions internationally, and the effect of violence on immigrant and indigenous women in the U.S. and abroad.

This course is designed to be the first in a three-semester sequence on the history of political thought, and students are encouraged, but not required, to take the courses in chronological sequence. The first semester begins with ancient Greek political thought, and follows its development up to the early 16th century. 3 units. Same as home course L32 Pol Sci 391.	Rehfeld
89	L98	3931		History of Political Thought III: Liberty, Democracy, and Revolution How, if at all, should the political institutions of the modern state express and secure the liberty and equality of citizens? What is the political significance of private property? Is world history to be understood as progress towards one best form of government - capitalist democracy, perhaps, or communism? What forces drive history? We shall address these and other timeless political questions through close reading and rigorous analysis of classic texts in the history of Western political thought. Authors to be studied will include Hegel, Marx, Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, and Nietzsche. Prereq: one previous course in political theory or political philosophy. The course is designed to be the third in a three-semester sequence on the history of political thought, and students are encouraged but not required to take the courses in chronological sequence. 3 units.

92	L98	3961		Women and Social Class This course examines the intersection of class and gender from the late 19th century to the present. It begins by asking how a focus on women challenges conventional notions of class. Some of the topics covered include women, race, and class; class and family formation; women, class, and globalization; class and feminist politics; women and work; class and domestic labor; women and unionization; and class and sexual identity. The emphasis will be on women and class in the U.S., but will include analysis of women and class in a broader, global context. This course will examine these topics using non-fictional and fictional texts. Prereqs: one 100- or 200- level Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Course or permission of instructor. 3 units.

93	L98	4000		Urban Education in Multiracial Societies This course offers students an analysis of the historical development and contemporary contexts of urban education in English-epeaking, multiracial societies. It examines legal decisions, relevant policy decisions, and salient economic determinants that inform urban systems of education in Western societies including, but not limited to, the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and South Africa. The course draws on quantitative, qualitative, and comparative data as an empirical foundation to provide a basis for a cross-cultural understanding of the formalized and uniform system of public schooling characteristic of education in urban settings. Given the social and material exigencies that shape urban school systems in contemporary societies, special attention is given in this course to the roles of migration, immigration urbanization, criminal justice, industrialism, de-industrialism, and globalization in shaping educational outcomes for diverse students in the aforementioned settings.

99	L98	4020		The Legal Landscape Changing American Society This course is designed to examine the qualitative relationship between transformations in law in America and the structure of American values and behavioral patterns and in the institutions and culture of American law. The materials will cover the structural aspects of the legal system and its place in American society and not the law's doctrinal features (i.e., the specific substantive areas of the law). Rather the course will examine how the organization and functioning of the law incorporates the values and changes in the American society. To achieve this, the course topics include: (a) Americans' perceptions of their legal institutions and agents; (b) changing links between law and the mass media; (c) concerns about the jury system; (d) the use (and abuse?) of litigation and its alternatives (ADR); (e) inequalities in access to the legal system; and (f) the transformations within the legal profession, both in law firms and in the careers of attorneys. 3 units.

102	L98	4021		The Meaning of National Security in the 21st Century This course focuses on efforts to halt the proliferation of nuclear weapons and how these efforts are viewed from a US and Chinese perspective. In addition to weekly sessions during the spring semester of 2009, students are required to participate in two one-week workshops in the summer: one at Fudan University in Shanghai in May and one at Washington University in mid August. Only students who are able to participate in the summer workshops can enroll in the course. INSTRUCTOR PERMISSION IS REQUIRED TO ENROLL IN THE COURSE. The seminar focuses on the history and current status of nuclear weapons in the world, including nonproliferation efforts. We then turn to a series of case studies that student teams will examine to understand how debates have played out in various places in the world. In addition, students will fulfill other assignments in preparation for summer workshops such as corresponding with a Chinese student counterpart via email. This seminar involves a mixture of theory and practice, and will be conducted in a discussion format. It is important to attend every class and be prepared to contribute to the analysis and debate. Students will be asked to present their materials individually and in groups in class sessions, and in some cases, this will involve debates between perspectives on the issues. 3 units.

103	L98	4023		Models in Social Science What distinguishes the social sciences from the natural sciences? What goals and assumptions do they share? Does studying "humans" with free will pose any problems for applying the methods of the natural sciences to the study of society? How do various social sciences-in particular anthropology, economics, and political science-differ from one another? And where did the social sciences (both the disciplines and the conceptual issues) come from historically? These are the animating questions of this course. This class will explore these questions in historical and contemporary perspective, as they relate to the rise of the social sciences as a set of academic disciplines. We will set out the theoretical structure of the scientific method paying particularly close attention to the relationships between theory and evidence, inference and hypotheses. Next we consider four problems and methods of the social sciences. These include questions of i) treating human beings as ""rational actors""; ii) attributing causal forces other than a person's own will to human behavior; iii) empirical observations and inference; and iv) the role of interpretation. In all four cases we will be interested in asking, toward what solutions have these problems lead social scientists, and what other sets of difficulties do their solutions raise? We will also pay particularly close attention to the role that concepts play in social analysis. 3 units. Same as L64 PNP 4023, L32 Pol Sci 4223.	Rehfeld
104	L98	4135		Tobacco: History, Anthropology, and Politics of a Global Epidemic This course examines tobacco's important role in shaping the modern world over the course of the last five centuries, from indigenous uses of tobacco in the New World to the politics of smoking in the 20th century. Through in-depth historical and anthropological case studies, tobacco provides a window onto broad trends in government, law, economy, and society, including changing social meanings of gender, race, individualism, risk, responsibility, and health in the United States and worldwide. This course also introduces students to public health approaches to noncommunicable disease prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion. No background in anthropology or public health is required. 3 units. Same as home course L48 Anthro 4135.	Benson
105	L98	416		Rediscovering the Child: Interdisciplinary Workshops in an Urban Elementary School This service-learning experience allows students to bring their knowledge and passion about their fields of study to elementary students at the Adams School in the city of St. Louis. Students will spend the first half of the semester together in studio classes on campus to learn the creative process of synthesizing variables. They will discuss readings and attend guest faculty lectures that expand their base of knowledge for designing curricular workshops for the children. Guest lectures will include faculty from various disciplines throughout the University, as well as the principal of the Adams School. Each student will work with the professor individually and in their team, as well as seeking advice from a faculty of their major discipline who will review their curricular plan. This particular academic weave will help students prepare the curriculum for the problem-solving, interdisciplinary workshops at Adams School. During the last half of the semester students move on-site to Adams School to teach small groups of children after school for 1.5 hours (students will be teaching only on a Tuesday or Thursday during the same class time). This course seeks students from all disciplines and schools. MEETS AMCS MULTIDISCIPLINARY REQUIREMENTS. 3 units. Same as L18 URST 416.	Lorberbaum		ES
106	L98	418		Feminist Literary Criticism This course is intended to acquaint students with basic ideas and issues raised by a diversity of voices in contemporary feminist and cultural theory. Readings will cover a wide range of approaches and tendencies within feminism, among them: French feminism, Foucauldian analyses of gender and sexuality, lesbian and queer theories, Third World/postcolonial feminism, and feminism by women of color. Given that feminist theories developed in response to and in dialogue with wider sociopolitical, cultural, and philosophical currents, the course will explore feminist literary and cultural t heory in an interdisciplinary context. NOTE: This course is in the core curriculum for the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduate certificate. Prereq: Advanced course work in WGSS or in literary theory (300-level and above) or permission of the instructor required. 3 units. Same as home course L77 WGSS 419.	Tsuchiya

108	L98	4209		New Media Literacy, Culture and Education At the closing of the 20th century, the "digital turn" began to shape how individuals learn, communicate, and interact with one another. Current and emerging media technologies have continued to change how individuals (youth and adults alike) gather information; consume, produce, and disseminate texts; and participate in both local and global communities through print- and screen-based platforms such as email, blog, podcast and mash-ups, among others. In this course, we will explore what we mean by technology, the various types and uses of technology and the relationship of technology to literacy and education. We will begin with characteristics of "new media" and consequences of the digital revolution. Then, we will examine conceptualizations of literacy in a historical context-from literacy as reading and writing to literacy as multimodality, convergence, and participation. Finally, we will shift our inquiry to investigate how new media literacies and technologies are shaping (and are shaped by) different forms of popular culture in U.S. and international contexts, including parts of Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and North and South American. We will make explicit the connections to education and explore possible directions for research and practice, including copyright and fair use issues present in educational settings. Readings, discussions, and activities online and in actual communities will culminate in individual- and class-based new media productions. Prereq: At least junior standing or permission of the instructor. 3 units. Same as home course L12 EDUC 4211.	Jocson		ES	NEW
109	L98	422		Plants and American People: Past and Present This interdisciplinary course examines the relationship between plants and the American people. Topics include the natural diversity of plants used by Native Americans for food, fiber, and medicine; the significance of plants in the 'Columbian Exchange' for the history of the U.S. and the economies of the Old World; Native American and Euro-American farming practices; modern agri-business including transgenic crops; and the modern conservation movement in the U.S. Several optional Saturday field trips are planned.

110	L98	423		Topics in American Literature: Ascendancy of Biology Increasingly, over the past several decades traditional divisions among areas of inquiry, and in particular the supposed "two cultures" of the sciences and humanities, have been challenged, both by figures working within the sciences (E.O. Wilson's ""consilience,"" Stephen Jay Gould's scientific humanism, Semir Zeki's ""inner vision"") and, in science studies, by such figures as Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers in their efforts to situate scientific practices within complex social and political networks. Whereas a century ago the physical sciences were clearly dominant, the early twenty-first century is marked by an ascendancy of the biological sciences. Presumably the most important factors for this realignment are economic (rise of industrial agriculture, proto-pharmaceutical interests), professionalization within the life sciences, and the progressive ideologies of efficiency and social control. In this team-taught seminar, we will investigate relations between these two shifts in disciplinary formation (bifurcative to integrative, physics to biology) as well as ways they have registered in scientific fictions and poetries by James Merrill, Richard Kenney and Richard Powers, among others. Several authors of relevant works, including Donna Haraway, will visit the class and participate in an accompanying public lecture series. For undergraduates Junior or Senior standing is required. 3 units. Same as home course L14 E Lit 423.	Meyer/Allen	MD
112	L98	4231		Topics in American Literature I: Reading Melville "Until I was twenty-five, I had no development at all," Melville told Nathaniel Hawthorne: "From my twenty-fifth year I date my life. Three weeks have scarcely passed, at any time between then and now, that I have not unfolded within myself." The course will approach Melville with attention to this remarkable "unfolding" as its plays itself out across the span of his forty-five year career. We will read most of Melville's major fiction, selections from his poetry (increasingly the subject of critical attention), and samples from a range of literary, biographical, and cultural interpretations from his own time to the present. Satisfies the American requirement, the 1700-1900 requirement, and the single author requirement. For undergraduates, Junior or Senior standing is required. 3 units.

114	L98	4303		Clown Princes Dying is easy, comedy is hard, runs an old theatrical adage. Nevertheless, some of the most popular actors in American film have chosen the hard path by typecasting themselves in comedy, playing repeated variations on the same character. ""Comedian comedy,"" representing films that showcase the distinctive skills of great clown-actors, is the central concern of this course. We will analyze how individual comedians rework performance traditions through the distinctive concerns of their time and culture to create idiosyncratic comic personae. We will look at films starring Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, Jack Benny, Peter Sellers, Jim Carey and Eddie Murphy. Work for the course will require reading in comic theory and analytical essays. REQUIRED SCREENING TIME: Mondays at 4:00 p.m. 3 units. Same as home course L53 Film 430.	Paul
115	L98	4392		Capitalism and Culture Capitalism is perhaps the most important historical and social phenomenon in the modern world. In tribal settings and major cities alike its complex impacts are evident. Through rich case studies of how capitalism touches down in diverse cultures, this course provides an introduction to anthropological perspectives on the economy and economic development. Themes covered include the history of capitalism and globalization, the cultural meanings of class and taste, the relationship between capitalism and popular culture, major artistic responses to capitalism, social movements such as environmentalism, and the field of international development. No background in anthropology or economics is required. 3 units. Same as home course L48 Anthro 4392.	Benson
116	L98	441		In the Field: Ethnographic and Qualitative Methods Practicum in ethnographic and qualitative research. Ethnographic research pursues descriptive and interpretative analyses of social life and large-scale social transformation using techniques of observation, interview, and participation. Ethnographic writing is analytical and aesthetic, using evidence to represent complexity through various styles, techniques, and voices. Students will learn about research design, field techniques, and writing while collaborating in an ongoing project in the St. Louis region (or pursuing their own projects). This course is open to all students with an interest in acquiring field-based research skills that have applications in academic, media, government, and business settings. It will be especially useful for students planning fieldwork-based research projects or theses. 3 units. Same as L48 Anthro 4452, L18 URST 4411.	Gustafson		ES
117	L98	450		9/11 and the War on Terror in U.S. Culture The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 stand as the defining moment for United States foreign policy and, perhaps more generally, United States culture in the past decade. This course will examine how these attacks and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been represented in recent US culture. Our discussions will take seriously the premise that cultural texts do not simply reflect already-extant cultural ideas but rather play a critical role in the discursive production of competing ideas about events, their cultural significance, and their political import. We will interrogate how a range of texts that includes memoir, film, fiction, memorial practices, government documents, music, and media accounts have participated in shaping cultural ideas regarding not only the events of September 11 and the United States' political, military, and cultural response to them but also debates over larger questions of race, gender, citizenship, patriotism, and the United States' role in global affairs. 3 units.

118	L98	453		Sociology of Education How does society shape schools and schools shape society? An examination of cultural, political, and economic factors and their relationship to the structure of our educational institutions; how control is exercised in classrooms; how knowledge and learning are defined, and basic values about equality, gender, and social justice, shaped by teachers' educational decisions. Students analyze their own schooling experience, visit at least two schools, interview teachers and students, and consider what changes are needed to make schools more responsive to students and communities. Prereq: Minimum Sophomore standing. 3 units. Same as home course L12 Educ 453B.	William Tate
119	L98	4584		Contemporary American Fiction This course is an advanced survey of the twenty-first century American novel. We will begin with fiction centrally concerned with questions of millennial transformation and historical retrospection before moving on to consider a range of topics: the legacies of postmodernism; representing 9/11; the rise and fall of the dot-com economy; the cultures of contemporary reading; new understandings of the complexity of ecology and our impact on it; the idea of character and consciousness in an age that is simultaneously scientific and post-secular; and the fate of the novel in the era of electronic media. Throughout the course we will be interested in questions of canon formation, and the special challenges of working on the literary history of our immediate present; this is why the final paper assignment will ask students to redesign the course by arguing for the importance of a book we haven't read in class. For undergraduates, Junior or Senior standing is required. Satisfies the American requirement. 3 units. Same as home course L14 E Lit 4584.	Grausam
122	L98	461B		The Construction and Experience of Black Adolescence This course examines the construct of black adolescence from the general perspectives of anthropology, sociology, and psychology. It begins by studying the construct of black adolescence as an ""invention"" of the social and behavioral sciences. The course then draws upon narrative data, autobiography, literature and multimedia sources authored by black youth to recast black adolescence as a complex social, psychological, cultural and political phenomenon. This course focuses on the meaning-making experiences of urban-dwelling black adolescents and highlights these relations within the contexts of class, gender, sexuality, and education. 3 units. Same as home course L90 AFAS 461B.	Duncan
123	L98	4751		Intellectual History of Feminism We focus on feminist thought in Western culture but also examine nonWestern ideas about feminisms. We trace the relationship among emergent feminist ideas and such developments as the rise of scientific methodology, Enlightenment thought, revolutionary movements and the gendering of the political subject, colonialism, romanticism, socialism, and global feminisms. Readings are drawn from both primary sources and recent feminist scholarship on the texts under consideration. NOTE: This course is in the core curriculum for the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduate certificate. Permission of instructor required.

126	L98	4984		The Problem of New World Freedom: The Age of Democratic Revolution in the U.S. and the Americas Ever since the improbable alliance of the English pirate and slave trader Sir Francis Drake and the fugitive slave Cimarrons on the Atlantic coast of Panama many centuries ago, the history of freedom in the New World has unfolded in unlikely fits and starts. This seminar will focus on the history of freedom movements and debates over freedom in the United States from the American Revolution through the end of Reconstruction, but do so in a new and comparative way. The course will explore two related conjectures: first, that maroon politics (the often short-lived alliances between slaves, quasi-free blacks and white allies), slave rebellion, provincial secession and civil war were the widespread and normative conditions of post-colonial regimes throughout the New World; and second, that the problem of freedom--of how to establish permanently free democratic nations and political cultures--was especially challenging in a New World environment in which freedom was fleeting and tended to decompose. Special attention will be given to antislavery insurgencies, interracial politics and alliances in the Unites States and the perspectives on freedom they produced, but the readings will also include materials on debates over freedom in the Caribbean and South America over the course of the long age of democratic revolution, 1760-1888. This course satisfies the modern course requirement for the history major. ONLINE REGISTRATION UNAVAILABLE: STUDENTS MUST CONTACT INSTRUCTOR FOR PERMISSION TO ENROLL IN THIS COURSE.
