2021-22 Hamilton College Catalogue 2021-22 Hamilton College Catalogue About Courses of Instruction Page 1 of 2 Updated Sep. 30, 2021 Courses of Instruction For each course, the numbering indicates its general level and the term in which it is offered. Courses numbered in the 100s, and some in the 200s, are introductory in material and/or approach. Generally courses numbered in the 200s and 300s are intermediate and advanced in approach. Courses numbered in the 400s and 500s are most advanced. Although courses are normally limited to 40 students, some courses have lower enrollment limits due to space constraints (e.g., in laboratories or studios) or to specific pedagogical needs (e.g., special projects, small-group discussions, additional writing assignments). For example, writing-intensive courses are normally limited to 20 students, and seminars are normally limited to 12. Enrollment limits mean that a student might not always be able to take a course that he or she wishes to take. To satisfy pedagogical needs, departments may set priorities to govern entrance into courses limited in enrollment." The term in which the course will be offered is indicated by the letter immediately following the course number: F for fall semester, and S for spring semester. F,S designates a course offered in both fall and spring semesters. Su designates a course comprising a summer field trip. Courses with bracketed numbers will not be offered during 2021-22. In most cases, the description indicates the next date the course will be offered. A single three-digit number preceding a course description indicates that the course may be elected for a single term. Most offerings are of this type. Two three-digit numbers separated by a hyphen indicate that normally the course will be elected for two terms. For such courses, a student may not enter the second term without having taken the first, unless otherwise indicated. A course designated as open to a certain class (e.g., "Open to sophomores") is also open to all higher classes. A course with no statement concerning class eligibility is open to all students. Unless otherwise stated, all courses meet for three 50-minute or two 75-minute class periods each week. In the list of faculty members for each department, the letters (F,S) following a name indicate terms of leave or off-campus teaching. The following letters denote faculty members who are teaching in the following programs: ACC (Associated Colleges in China); AYS (Academic Year in Spain); DC (Term in Washington); JYF (Junior Year in France); MFE (Mellon Faculty Exchange); NYC (New York City Program). Page 2 of 2 Updated Sep. 30, 2021 Africana Studies Faculty Donald Carter Mark Cryer A. Todd Franklin Shelley Haley Heather Merrill Vincent Odamtten, chair Nigel Westmaas (on leave fall 2020) The goal of the Africana Studies department is to take up the field's central questions and debates in multiple contexts and by means of multiple methodologies. In keeping with this goal, many of the department’s course offerings focus extensively and transdisciplinarily on issues of social, structural, and institutional hierarchy as they pertain to race and a host of other dimensions of identity. All concentrators must take two of the following courses: 220, 221, 224, 306, 382, or 405 Social, Structural, and Institutional Hierarchies Requirement: Courses in the Africana Studies concentration explore and examine issues that satisfy the Social, Structural, and Institutional Hierarchies requirement. The department emphasizes the breadth of these hierarchies by requiring its concentrators to grapple with them as they fulfill the two intermediate course requirements detailed above. A concentration in Africana Studies consists of at least 9 courses: 102, 112, 130, or 190; 201; two courses selected from among: 220, 221, 224, 306, 382, or 405; 549; 550; and three electives. We encourage students to take at least one course focused on women or gender. The senior program (549, 550) is a two-semester program culminating in a written thesis based on original research. The fall term course involves learning methodology and building a thesis proposal presented to the department faculty at the end of the term. Students with an average of at least 3.4 in the concentration may receive honors through distinguished work in 550. A minor in Africana Studies consists of 102, 112, 130, or 190; 201, one course selected from 220, 221, 224, 382, or 405; and two electives. Certain elective courses from other disciplines not listed may be substituted with permission of the chair. Please consult the appropriate departments and programs for full descriptions of courses, requirements and prerequisites. 102 F,S Blackness Across the Diaspora.

Likewise, many a French official has underscored the unwavering and “natural” quality of the commitment between France and the United States (De Gaulle 1965; Mitterrand 1984; Macron 2018). Yet political scientists and historians often point to the cyclical nature of French-American relations (Duroselle 1978; Bozo and Parmentier 2007: 545).

  • Italian Cinema As Literary Art UNO Rome Summer Study Abroad 2019 Dr
    ENGL 2090: Italian Cinema as Literary Art UNO Rome Summer Study Abroad 2019 Dr. Lisa Verner [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course surveys Italian cinema during the postwar period, charting the rise and fall of neorealism after the fall of Mussolini. Neorealism was a response to an existential crisis after World War II, and neorealist films featured stories of the lower classes, the poor, and the oppressed and their material and ethical struggles. After the fall of Mussolini’s state sponsored film industry, filmmakers filled the cinematic void with depictions of real life and questions about Italian morality, both during and after the war. This class will chart the rise of neorealism and its later decline, to be replaced by films concerned with individual, as opposed to national or class-based, struggles. We will consider the films in their historical contexts as literary art forms. REQUIRED TEXTS: Rome, Open City, director Roberto Rossellini (1945) La Dolce Vita, director Federico Fellini (1960) Cinema Paradiso, director Giuseppe Tornatore (1988) Life is Beautiful, director Roberto Benigni (1997) Various articles for which the instructor will supply either a link or a copy in an email attachment LEARNING OUTCOMES: At the completion of this course, students will be able to 1-understand the relationship between Italian post-war cultural developments and the evolution of cinema during the latter part of the 20th century; 2-analyze film as a form of literary expression; 3-compose critical and analytical papers that explore film as a literary, artistic, social and historical construct. GRADES: This course will require weekly short papers (3-4 pages, double spaced, 12- point font); each @ 20% of final grade) and a final exam (20% of final grade).

  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • Arab Nationalism and State Formation:The Maghrib Experiences
    IDE Research Bulletin Research project summary based on papers for academic journals with the aim of contributing to the academic community Arab Nationalism and State Formation: The Maghrib Experiences Project Leader WATANABE Shoko March 2020 Copyright (C) JETRO. All rights reserved. https://www.ide.go.jp Research Bulletin for Arab Nationalism and State Formation: The Maghrib Experiences Objectives of the project The project analyzes the historical development of nationalism in the Maghrib countries (i.e., Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco) with a special focus on the local features of Maghribian nationalism which distinguishes the Maghrib region from other Arab countries. The reason for our choice of topic is that the academic discussion on Arab nationalism has conventionally centered on the Mashriq (East Arab) region, leaving aside the Maghrib (West Arab) region’s experiences. By studying cases of the Maghrib region, the project reconsiders some unquestioned premises and prejudices in the existing literature of Arab nationalism and thus contributes to a theoretical elaboration of studies of Arab nationalism. More concretely, we discuss the following topics: the relationship between nationalism and religion in the Maghrib; the validity of the concept of Waṭaniyya (the attachment to individual nation-states) as nested within Qawmiyya (the feeling of being part of a larger Arab people); the national historiography as a modern, invented tradition and the role of Arabism and Islam in it; and the role of regional supra-national identity (pan-Maghrib solidarity) as part of the formation of nationalism. One of the important premises of our project is that nationalism is a modern phenomenon. Built on theoretical studies of nationalism which have flourished since the 1980s, the project supposes that premodern communitarian identities (such as religious affiliations, belongingness to certain linguistic, cultural, or “ethnic” groups, and loyalty to particular polities or governments) have been transformed into modern national identities (Smith 1998).

Academic dissertation to be publicly discussed, by permission of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Jyväskylä, in the Old Festival Hall S212, on December 3, 2013, at 12 o’clock noon. UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ �� ABSTRACT Pehkoranta, Anna Rewriting Loss: Melancholia, Ethics, and Aesthetics in Selected Works by Chuang Hua, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Fae Myenne Ng University of Jyväskylä, 2013, 173 p. Diss. This doctoral dissertation investigates the dynamics of melancholia, ethics, and aesthetics in a selection of Chinese American women’s fiction. The corpus of the study consists of four prose narratives written by three different authors: Crossings (1968) by Chuang Hua, The Woman Warrior (1976) by Maxine Hong Kingston, and Bone (1993) and Steer Toward Rock (2008) by Fae Myenne Ng. The study is comprised of four individual articles accompanied with a reflective introduction that illuminates the theoretical, methodological, and discursive context of the articles. While the theoretical framework of this dissertation is rooted mainly in sociologically oriented literary criticism, most importantly in Asian Americanist, psychoanalytical, and feminist critical practices, the study also shows a particular interest in the literary form and the aesthetic in the narratives it examines.
