Additional Information
The Latinx heritage of Cornell goes back to its founding with a significant presence of students from Latin America and a distinguished Puerto Rican professor among the earliest faculty members who later became first Dean of the College of Engineering. In this seminar, we will explore the career and continued campus presence and memorialization of Prof. Esteban Fuertes and his son, Louis Agassiz Fuertes who are major figures in Cornell’s Fuertes Observatory and the Lab of Ornithology. Through special collections, we will also explore their personal reactions and engagement with the U.S. conquest of Puerto Rico as it occurred during their Cornell careers. The class includes a Saturday field trip.

Celebrating the hundredth anniversary of women’s right to vote in the state of New York, we will explore the activism on campus and in the Ithaca area associated with the achievement of women’s suffrage. Visits to the Howland Stone Store Museum in Sherwood, NY, which houses the largest collection of suffrage posters in the U.S. and preserves the memory of Ezra Cornell’s friend and activist Emily Howland, as well as the National Park in Seneca Falls will provide context for our local considerations. The class includes a Saturday field trip.

As of March 7, this course will not count toward graduation or good standing for Arts and Sciences students. New York state is one of the few eastern states to retain a significant presence and sovereignty for its indigenous Haudenosaunee population. We will explore the limited archeological record for the Cornell campus and Ithaca through special collections, meet with leaders of the Cayuga People working on a revived presence at the northern end of the lake, and travel to Ganondagan and Salamanca to learn from the more established modern Seneca nation to understand the history, heritage, and continued indigenous presence in this region. The class includes a Saturday field trip.

"Apocalypse" is the end of the world—or ourselves—but it also introduces new forms of being, desire and knowledge. In this course we'll analyze apocalyptic fantasies by writing critical essays: a skill (and art) that crosses disciplines. Course material includes the cult novel that inspired zombie apocalypse movies (I am Legend, by Richard Matheson); two accounts of apocalyptic desire (Mulholland Drive by David Lynch and Nathaniel West’s Day of the Locust) and three works staging the collapse of mundane reality (Allen Ginsberg's Howl, Art Spiegelman's graphic-novel adaption of Paul Auster's City of Glass, and Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House).

Television mediates our national and domestic life more than we may realize. From its origins, TV—even for those who consume little of it—has represented, even regulated, our experiences of childhood and adolescence, production and consumption, politics and citizenship. It seeks to define us as people, workers, and citizens. In this course, we will develop ways to read and to write about the small screen as a cultural text. In doing so, we will explore how the genres, institutions and ideologies of contemporary television both reflect and refract our national and domestic life.

Can a story take down a system? Under what conditions? This course will examine the role of the personal narrative as a political weapon. We will analyze the impact of art on the sociopolitical landscape through the works of James Baldwin, Adrienne Rich, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Rebecca Solnit, and many others. We will then interrogate our own biases, assumptions, desires, relationships, and fears in order to write the self into a global context. The essays we craft will confront the intersections of political and personal trauma, history and family, identity and theory. Ultimately, we will ponder, "Do our stories matter? Why or why not?"

Additional Information
We trust documentary films to portray the “real” world, yet engaged viewers understand that reality looks different from different perspectives, and documentaries have the power to shape and alter the truth in the process of reporting on it. In this course you'll practice critical reading and viewing, paying close attention to how recent documentaries construct, maintain, reimagine, and/or challenge our understanding of the world and of ourselves. In discussion and writing, we'll consider the ethics and politics of representation and the question of who speaks for whom. Films may include Grizzly Man, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Stories We Tell, Citizenfour, Cameraperson, and The Act of Killing, as well as adjacent genres like reality television and mockumentary.

In ancient myths, humans are transformed into animals, plants, and other shapes and states of being. Why do such stories haunt us in the digital age? How fluid are our own identities, and are we capable of metamorphoses of our own? To answer these questions, we will discuss contemporary ideas about gender, sexuality, epigenetics, legal personhood, digital lives, and creative autobiography. We will also develop expository writing skills through a wide range of assignments. Course materials may include Ursula Le Guin's novel The Left Hand of Darkness, films such as Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, scientific journal articles, Supreme Court opinions, and other cutting-edge theories of what it means to be human - and maybe more.

Good investigative journalists write well and use their reportage to argue effectively. How can we adopt features of their writing for a variety of purposes and audiences, academic and popular? Our weekly readings will include features from the New Yorker, The Atlantic, slate.com, and the New York Times, among others. Students will write essays of opinion and argument—in such forms as news analysis, investigative writing, blog posts, and op-ed pieces—on topics such as environmental justice, the value of an elite education, human rights conflicts, the uses of technology, gender equality, and the ethics of journalism itself. Coursework will include an independently researched project on a subject of the student's choosing.

What if the Axis powers had won World War II? What if the Great Depression had never ended? What if single-sex societies had evolved through reproductive innovation? Speculative fiction plays with such possibilities and can present us with new pasts, opening up new presents and futures. We'll read a range of alternative histories such as Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle, Ken Grimwood's Replay, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents, and James Tiptree, Jr.’s “Backward, Turn Backward,” exploring the mechanisms that make these strange tales possible and bringing them into conversation with theoretical texts on psychoanalysis, political theory, and the philosophy of history. Essays and class discussions will ask: why are such alternatives so alluring?

Additional Information
What happens to the truth of fiction when two authors, each with a unique and sometimes opposing cultural and historical perspective, write about the same events? What if the two novelists are writing for different audiences and even different nations? In African literature one often finds African writers responding to European writers about their portrayals of colonialism and resistance. In this course, we shall be considering the “she said, he said” of African colonial and anti-colonial literature. For example, we shall look at the ways in which Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart is a response to Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and at the treatment of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe by J.M. Coetzee in his novel, Foe.

Additional Information
The course focuses on Shakespeare’s middle to late plays, from the “problem comedies,” through the great tragedies and romances. While we will pay particular attention to questions of dramatic form (genre) and historical context (including ways in which the plays themselves call context into question), the primary concentration will be on careful close readings of the language of the play-texts, in relation to critical questions of subjectivity, power, and art. On the way, we will encounter problems of sexuality, identity, emotion, the body, family, violence, politics, God, the nation, nature and money (not necessarily in that order).
