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.

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.

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.
