| K20.1493 - SPORTS, RACE AND POLITICS Show Description | ||||||||
| Beyond spectacular touchdowns and walk-off grand slams, sport remains a vital institution for analyzing the ideological/theoretical frameworks of nationalism, diplomacy, corruption, gender and race. From Joe Louis’s historic fight against Max Schmeling in June 1936 to the recent murder of Pakistan’s cricket coach in Jamaica during the World Cup, sport should be understood beyond masculine bravado, violence and the joy and agony of competition, but also as a serious vehicle for conceptualizing and analyzing the triumphs and limitations of our society and its complicated history. This course examines sports (baseball, boxing, soccer, basketball and cricket), primarily from a U.S. and Latin American context, during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In what ways do these sports reify concepts of race and gender? How is it utilized as a tool of diplomatic relations? We will read key articles and chapters from books in the field of the sport studies that illuminate the significance of sport in shaping culture and politics in our global society. | ||||||||

| K20.1596 - DOMESTICATING THE WILD IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE Show Description | ||||||||
| The Ur-text of literatures for children is the encounter between a child and a Wild Thing. From Little Red Ridinghood to Peter and the Wolf to Charlotte’s Web, the border between the child and the wild is a rite of passage marking the transformation of the child into an adult, and is the site of a child’s most fundamental education about how to be human. Works of children’s literature agree that literature can be used to explicitly structure the relationship between children and the wild, and construct subjectivities by nurturing a deeper awareness of what that relationship should be. Yet, what, exactly, is the wild in children’s literature? Representations of the wild reflect adult ideas about children, but do children have a privileged relationship to nature, and innate understanding of the connection between humans and the world around them? Or are they wild things themselves, in need of templates for human/humane behavior toward other beings? Representations of the wild are also informed by ideology, shaped by societal ideas about race and gender, domination and subjection, power and privilege. In this course we will be thinking and writing about the surprising ways that children's texts imagine the wild as a charged cultural, political and racialized space, and how these texts imagine and construct subjectivities based on these relations pf power. Text may include Barbar, The Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, Where the Wild Things Are, Ricky Tiki Tavi and Fantasia. | ||||||||

| K55.9700 - CULTURE, DEVELOPMENT AND GLOBALIZATION IN INDIA Show Description | ||||||||
| COURSE IS OFFERED IN INDIA. PERMISSION REQUIRED. APPLICATION AVAILABLE AT: http://www.nyu.edu/gallatin/pdf/winterstudyabroad2010.pdf. PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE TAKEN K20.1555 OR K20.1517. Contemporary representations of India either paint the subcontinent as a vast treasure trove of exotic culture and tradition and/or as an emergent economic powerhouse, rapidly modernizing to overtake the West. Sitting uneasily between these two images is the idea of India as a third world country, struggling with disparities of well being by trying to "develop" itself. During this two-week course based in Bangalore, India, students are offered an interdisciplinary learning experience that explores the dynamics of culture and development within globalizing India. Bangalore, considered the "Silicon Valley" of India, is at the epicenter of India’s information technology boom—its changing urban landscape a microcosm of third world urban development and globalization. In the classroom, students will be introduced to the philosophical underpinnings and practice of “development” as an important framework through which ideas of culture, economy, politics, tradition and modernity are organized and managed by the Indian state and international organizations. Background historical works will explore how the idea and practice of development are linked to colonialism and anticolonialism, capitalism, nationalism and globalization. Readings will also explore the cultural politics of tradition, tourism, heritage and monuments and the environment in order to understand how tourism is linked to development. Taught by a Gallatin faculty member and a faculty member of the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, students will have the opportunity to share classroom time, assignments and non-classroom learning experiences with peer undergraduate students of Srishti, who will take the same class. Excursions will include visits to heritage sites and community based NGOs focused on environmental sustainability within Bangalore. Students will also travel to the state of Karnataka and neighboring Kerala, enabling students to understand how local NGOs and other community based organizations seek to leverage local communities, culture and history as a platform for development.

| T01.3000 - MULTIMEDIA ETHNOGRAPHIES Show Description | ||||||||
| Capturing digital images, video and sound is often a daily if not hourly activity for students. This course is for students who want to develop their multimedia skills as they sharpen their critical thinking by producing projects that consider culture and place. We will use an introduction to ethnography as a methodology for assignments that involve digital image creation and manipulation in Photoshop, website production in Dreamweaver and video editing in Final Cut. The locus of our investigation will be New York City in the winter which provides ample obstacle and opportunity for creating multimedia ethnographies. By the end of the course students will have created a photo documentary, an interactive web site and a short digital film. No multimedia experience is necessary but students should have access to a digital still camera and a dv camera. | ||||||||

| P11.0040 - GENOCIDE MODERN ERA Show Description | ||||||||
| In the aftermath of the Holocaust, the world community vowed ‘never again’ to allow such atrocities. Yet genocide remains a tragic part of the human experience. Its persistence raises urgent questions: Is genocide preventable? Is it an inescapable aspect of human nature, or the weapon of the grossly-deviant vicious? Can policymakers detect early signs of genocide and prevent it from occurring? Or is punishment after the act of genocide the only viable instrument of international policy? This course will explore these and other questions by examining genocide in an historic and legal context. Proposed policy solutions will be evaluated through a focus on such case studies as Armenia, Ukraine, Cambodia, and the ongoing genocide in Darfur. | ||||||||

| V18.0280 - TOPICS: CRIME, CITIZENSHIP & SOVEREIGNTY Show Description | ||||||||
| This course examines discourses of belonging, sacrifice, solidarity, and transgression within a geography of capital that structures the way we think about citizenship, crime, and sovereignty. In this regard, we will pay special attention to the forms of jurisdiction that define legal institutions, nation-state boundaries, and civic duties. Topics to be explored include the way emergency powers granted to the sovereign during times of crisis became normalized as the rule of law, the constitutional limits of detention, incarceration and execution, the historical continuity between different types of coercive regimes (plantation slavery, prisons, secret camps for detaining suspected terrorists), and the religious dimensions of political authority (whether in the form of sinister global trade networks or charismatic figures who unify disparate populations by cultivating faith in the promise of democracy). This course is expressly concerned with helping students learn how to formulate research questions concerning crime, citizenship, and sovereignty. Consequently, the workload consists primarily of a series of writing assignments that prepare students to formulate an original research proposal. In this way, students will learn how scholars use empirical data to generate new theoretical approaches. | ||||||||

| V43.0850 - TOPICS: NORTHERN ART FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO BAROQUE Show Description | ||||||||
| Note: This course is open to all undergraduates. Art History majors: please note that this course carries general elective credit, not Advanced Renaissance credit. This is a field study course.
The Renaissance art and Baroque art of Northern Europe follows a path different from Italian art of these periods. In the fifteenth century, Jan Van Eyck and other northern artists develop new techniques of oil painting, and combine the drama and pathos of medieval art with an unprecedented degree of descriptive realism. In the sixteenth century, Albrecht Dürer enriches this Northern sensibility with the classical vocabulary of Italian art; Hans Holbein evokes individual personality with amazing intensity; Pieter Bruegel the Elder records the richness of peasant life; and painters as diverse as Matthias Grünewald and Hieronymus Bosch introduce strange, sometimes grotesque new forms, often inspired by folk sayings. In the seventeenth century, the Flemish painter Pieter Paul Rubens follows in Dürer’s footsteps by visiting Italy; he then creates a bold new synthesis of Roman grandeur, Venetian color, and Northern passion. His Spanish contemporary, Diego Velazquez, adapts Italian chiaroscuro to create a monumental portrait of the royal court. Later in the century, the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn uses expressive brushwork and contrasts of light and dark to plumb the depths of the human soul, while other Dutch painters, such as Jan Vermeer and Pieter de Hooch, depict everyday life and everyday settings that recall the realism of the fifteenth century. Northern Renaissance and Baroque painting is exceptionally well represented in New York collections, and the lectures and readings for this course will be complemented by frequent museum visits and on-the-spot discussions of major art works. | ||||||||

| V43.0850 - TOPICS: CONTEMPORARY ART IN NEW YORK Show Description | ||||||||
| Note: This course is open to all undergraduates. Art History majors: please note that this course carries general elective credit, not advanced Modern credit, and that it may NOT be taken for credit with V43.0414, “Post-Modern and Contemporary Art,” to be offered in the spring 2010 semester. This is a field study course. The headlong sprint of modern art toward an irreducible minimum comes to an end some time around 1972 with the virtual disappearance of traditional painting or sculpture. The defining feature of contemporary art is that it is art made after “the end of art.” This course begins with the 1980s and extends to the present, examining themes such as identity and the gaze, abjection and the informe, commodification and the institutional critique, appropriated imagery and simulacra, allegory and narrative, teen and comic-book imagery, Neo-Geo and Neo-Baroque, the evolution of video art and the proliferation of installation. Lectures will explore the role of the art market, the global art world, and the use of the biennial exhibition as a mode of nationalist self-assertion. Lectures and readings will be supplemented by frequent visits to New York galleries and museums. | ||||||||

| V54.0202 - METHODS & PRAC: THE ART EDITING:COPY-TOP EDITING Show Description | ||||||||
| This course blends the practical aspects of technical editing with the critical thinking and craftsmanship needed to structure and polish stories till they shine. If you love to tweak a single sentence until it is clear, true and elegant, and enjoy deconstructing a feature story to truly understand how it was shaped, this is the class for you! The first half of the course will focus on the micro elements of editing: from proofreading to punctuation, to grammar and usage. The second half will focus on the macro elements of editing: from line editing to cutting meaty stories in half to fit the space. Publication tone, house voice and writer’s voice will be discussed in depth. Students will also gain experience writing headlines and captions. Other assignments include editing the interview, editing humor pieces, and re-structuring articles that just don’t work. Students will learn how to think like editors and shape and tweak stories analytically as well as technically. | ||||||||

| V71.0100 - MUSIC OF NEW YORK Show Description | ||||||||
| This course is designed to take advantage of New York’s dynamic music community. There are in-class presentations by local musicians and scholars, and students regularly attend performances throughout the city. The focus is on the everyday practices of musical life in New York City by both performers and listeners in a number of the City’s musical constituencies: immigrant communities; amateur and professional music-makers; and popular, classical, and avant-garde scenes. Examination of these processes of music-making will be enhanced by a look at the histories of these different kinds of music-making. There will also be a historical discussion of the vibrant musical life of New York in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which will contribute to an understanding of why New York is seen, and sees itself, as a musical city. | ||||||||

| Y10.0573 - BUSINESS ETHICS Show Description | ||||||||
| This course is designed to educate students on managing business enterprises and other organizations ethically. We are in an era in which ethical and legal issues have become paramount, in part, because of many high profile cases of ethical violations in the corporate world, but more importantly, there is increased awareness in society that organizations, managers and employees at large have a responsibility to examine the impact on their actions on individuals and society at large. The course emphasizes individual, corporate and societal ethics and how managers can make informed choices when confronted with ethical dilemmas. Case analyses, best practices and lectures on guiding principles and conceptual frameworks, provide a collective medium of instruction in this course. | ||||||||

| Y26.6690 - SP TPCS IN POLITICS: LIBERALISM & INDIVIDUALITY Show Description | ||||||||
| Our focus in this course will be on the relationship between Christianity and politics in the modern era. We will read texts from the modern canon with the intention of understanding the differing modes of engagement with religion. We will see that this has entailed neutrality, rejection, or an embrace, whether warm or stifling. None of these approaches have been wholly successful, or a complete failure - so we will discuss the ways in which religious belief and secularism have encountered each other in the contemporary world. Overall, students will be offered a new way to think about the evolving relationship between religion and politics and the ways in which it shapes our lives. | ||||||||

We will discuss different and interconnected explanatory theories of addiction including biological, behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic and protective/risk factor models, including the role of parental/peer and other social influences (e.g., marketing). We will also explore research that describes sensitivity/vulnerability to addiction for women versus men and comparatively by race/ethnicity. We will then cover the relationship of addiction to various other factors such as violence (stranger and family), homelessness, unemployment, co-occurrence with various other mental disorders, criminal justice involvement, and intergenerational transmission. We will end the course with a discussion of treatment and other interventions to address addictions. Lectures will be augmented by assigned readings, videos, guest lectures, field trips to treatment centers and in class exercises. | ||||||||
