Summer 2013

An introductory course in American Sign Language as developed and used by the Deaf community in most areas of North America. It consists of a preparatory phase to attune students to communication in the manual-visual mode, followed by instruction and practice in vocabulary, sentence structure, elementary conversation, and literature. In addition, the course provides a survey of various issues raised by examining ASL and the Deaf community.

BUILDING: LATT | ROOM: 110

Continuation of basic study of the language and culture; an opportunity to build receptive and expressive sign vocabulary; use of signing space; further use of non-manual components of ASL grammar, including facial expression and body postures, and introduction to conversational regulators. Discussion of regional and ethnic sign variations, and social, political and educational institutions of the Deaf community. Interaction with members of the Deaf community in both directed and non-directed activities will be featured.

This course grapples with the interrelations between cinemas of disparate geo-political regions at privileged moments of social changes. We will start from Japanese “New Wave” films of the 1960s and look at the French New Wave and the Polish Film School through their lens. Through representative films and complementary readings, students will learn about each of these movements in the local context as well as in relation to each other. The second half of the class looks at the “New Cinemas” that emerged towards the end of the Cold War in Asian countries which simultaneously experienced the relaxation of censorship codes under military governments and oppressive regimes. Students will be introduced to the canon of World Cinema including Nagisa Oshima, Toshio Matsumoto, Jean-Luc Godard, Jerzy Kawalerowicz, Andrzey Wajda, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Bae Chang-ho, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuang-zhuang. This is an introductory class open to all regardless of familiarity with the regions’ history or film studies.

The coursework follows a sequence of studies that introduces basic drawing techniques, media, and composition through observation and analysis. Through a sequence of projects, students will have the opportunity to develop formal artistic skills and spatial relationships while enhancing their conceptual understanding of art as a visual language. Students will work from life and from the imagination to solve visual problems. Evaluation will primarily be based on the quantity and quality of studio production as well as the effort to thoughtfully contribute to critiques and discussions. Both traditional and non-traditional mediums and approaches will be explored. Relevant readings and short papers are to be expected. Studio art supplies fee: $50. If the course fills and you would like to be added to the wait list, please contact Stephanie Ashenfelder at stephanie.ashenfelder@rochester.edu.

Classes center on careful study of individual plays and include short writing exercises and discussions of film and stage interpretations of key scenes. We become familiar with the definitions of tragedy that would have influenced Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and ask why Renaissance audiences found these plays so compelling.

This course will use the Harlem Renaissance as a lens to explore major developments in 20th Century African American Literature. In the first unit of the course, we will investigate how African American writers, artists and intellectuals such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Claude McKay, Nella Larsen and others contributed to the cultural phenomenon known as the Harlem Renaissance. In the second unit of the course, the Harlem Renaissance will figure as a kind of disputed cultural legacy as we explore how later 20th century writers such as Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, and Samuel Delany represent the Harlem Renaissance in their work. The goal of the course will be to track important developments in African American Literature--developments such as changing accounts of racial identity, changing understandings of the black writer's responsibility to represent the race, and changing conceptions of the relationship between art and politics--as developments which respond to a foundational moment in black expressive culture.

Pizza and beer, red wine and steaks, tea and toast, cheese and wine. Why do these pairings make sense in American culture? How have margaritas and burritos or sushi and sake become as much a part of “American” cuisine and culture as a burger and soda? This class will explore the evolution of American food and drink from the time of the first settlers to the rise of the corporate-owned beverage and fast food industries. Topics of the course include how immigrants to America carried their culture with them in the form of food and drink, how Prohibition and the Food and Drug Laws of the Progressive Era changed what Americans could legally put in their mouths, and the “fast” food and large corporations of today that dictate much of what we eat and drink. The course will consist of primary and secondary readings, documentary films, class discussions, student presentations, and student writings in the form of argumentative papers and book summaries.

A continuation of LAT105. Focus of LAT221/421 for Summer 2013 will be on historical texts of the Medieval period. Due to the variations Latin experienced throughout its history, we will also examine the morphological, grammatical, and lexical changes that occurred from Classical Latin to and throughout Medieval Latin. Note, this course is not a paleography course; we will be reading edited texts. Course will consist of brief lectures and in-class drills, but the vast majority will consist of reading and discussing prepared texts, as well as sight-reading to build speed and fluency. Additionally, outside of class, students will be expected to complete on-line practice and to prepare passages for discussion and translation. By the end of this class, equipped with a good dictionary, grammar, and commentary, students should be able to read most Medieval writings they might encounter. The readings in this course are different from those offered in Summer 2012. Therefore, LAT221/421 can be repeated for credit.

Because of the close relations and similarities between Classical and Medieval Latin, you will develop a strong foundation in the grammar and morphology of Classical Latin and will cover roughly the same material as is covered in LAT 101-103. Unlike more traditional Latin courses, however, this course will rely on both Classical and Medieval texts for examples, practice, and sight-reading in order to familiarize the student with the vocabulary and style of both a broader range of Latin. The course will consist of lecture, in-class drill, reading of prepared texts, and sight-reading. Additionally, outside of class, students will be expected to complete on-line practice and to prepare passages for discussion and translation.

Greek gods, mighty warriors, and medieval kings have recently become movie stars. Tales of King Arthur, Beowulf, Thor, and Mulan were once adapted from oral traditions into writing, and they now find new lives in a new medium: film. Why have these mythical heroes become popular again in contemporary society? What makes the image of the hero so pervasive? Why does the figure of the hero captivate us, and how do we make sense of their stories? How have ancient heroes been reimagined and recreated in film, and do the changes made to them matter? This course invites students to explore these questions and develop their own through informal writing, short papers, and class discussion. Each student will refine his or her thinking and writing through workshops, peer review, self-assessment, and revision. The class will culminate with an eight to ten page argumentative research paper, designed by the student according to his or her interests.
