WSCP U71700 - Proseminar:
Multicultural/Transnational Feminisms
GC M 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Profs. Alyson Bardsley/ Catherine Lavender [60577]
The
Proseminar: Multicultural/Transnational Feminisms explores the diversity and
ambiguity of various feminisms through a
number of frames, such as: postcolonialism; critical race theory; queer
theory; reproductive rights and practices; environmentalism and ecofeminisms;
the places of NGOs within global
regimes;
and problems of economic development and justice. Regional, national, and local histories, geographies, and
literatures will be considered as loci of feminist action and
investigation. Questions of women=s agency will be a recurring
theme. Readings will be drawn from a variety of disciplines and will
include
both general theoretical pieces and analyses of particular cases.
WSCP U80801 - Major Feminist
Texts
GC T 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Profs. Kate Crehan/ Anthony O=Brien [60578][Cross listed
with MALS 72100and ANTH 71500]
Close
reading in historical context of selected feminist texts which have interrupted
the monological discourse of their time, from the early modern querelle des
femmes, to the rights discourse of the bourgeois revolutions,the socialist
challenge to turn-of-the-century imperialism, literature and society between
the wars,postwar autobiography and identity, and the liberation narratives of
the Sixties new left. At every point, we will triangulate the discussion,so as
to make visible not one Eurocentric tradition, but the connections between
feminist texts from Europe, America, and Africa and India. Thus Mary Wollstonecraft is linked to
Harriet Jacobs and women's oral texts from Africa and India, or Fatima Mernissi
to Simone de Beauvoir and Audre Lorde.
A series of parallel readings will provide
historical
context and introduce other, contemporary theoretical perspectives, so that
taking possession of these classic historical texts goes along with an inquiry
into some basic questions posed by feminism across periods and cultures.
WSCP U81000 - Place,
Culture, Politics in NYC
GC R 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Neil Smith [60727][Cross listed with Anth. 82200]
WSCP U81000 -Studies in the
Modern Period: Fashion: Gender, Power, Consumerism
GC W 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Eugenia Paulicelli [60579][Cross listed with Comp. Lit
U85000]
Fashion
has been studied since the second half of the nineteenth century from the
perspective of disciplines such variety as history, sociology, psychology, philosophy,
semiotics, as well as art and literature.
Drawing on these disciplines, the course will offer an in depth analysis
of the role fashion has in the construction of gendered, national and
transnational identities both in the past and in the contemporary world. Treating fashion as a productive agent in
cultural analysis, we will concentrate on the seminal works of authors such as
Simmel, Benjamin, Gramsci, Barthes, Bourdieux and Perrot. Through the topic of gender, power and
consumerism and their relationship with fashion, the course will take the
following shape:
1)
The Birth of a Discourse on Fashion in Early Modern Europe (Castiglione,
Vecellio, Della Porta); 2) Fashion, Modernity and the City. The Flaneur and the
Dandy. (Baudelaire, Leopardi, Benjamin); 3) Fashion and the Avant-garde Arts.
French Surrealism (Dali, Schiaparelli) and Italian Futurism (Balla, Depero); 4)
Fashion, Fascism, and Modernism: The Construction of ANew@ Gendered and National
Bodies, the Myth of Youth; (De Grazia, Passerini); 5) Fashion and Transnational
Identities, Youth Cultures, Street-styles (Polhemus, McRobbie, Hebdidge,
Muggleton); 6) The Fashion Industry: the Role of Women. A History of Women=s Labor and Creativity.
(Evans, Gamber, Greene, Steele).
WSCP U81000 - African
American Literary History: From Reconstruction to Renaissance
GC W 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Jon-Christian Suggs [60728][Cross listed with Eng.
75200]
One
of four sequential courses in African American literary historical discourse, this semester's offering
investigates the development of African
American prose fiction and non-fiction from the last resistance
narrative of the antebellum period to
the onset of the Harlem Renaissance. We will be interested in the forces that
shape African American narrative: religion, law, Romanticism, Realism, and the
first stirrings of American modernism.
We will look at music, theatre, and early film
in our survey and reexamine narratives
of slavery and the African American essay. Each student will be graded on a mid-term essay and a final paper
on a topic of her own choosing after
consultation with me. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Schomburg Center for
Research in Black Culture as a site for
work in African American literary history. To this end, one trip will be made by the class to the Center to meet
staff and be introduced to the general
and archival holdings of the Center. I expect each student will have an active e-mail account and www access.
WSCP U81000 - The Ethnic AI@: Asian
American and Jewish American Writing
GC T 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Nancy Miller [60580][Cross listed with Eng. 78300]
Twentieth-century
memoirs and first-person novels about ethnic experience often follow the lines
of a familiar plot: the story of becoming American. The styles of Jewish
immigration provided a template for minority experience in the first half of
the twentieth century. The successive waves of Asian immigrations have been
consolidated as those of a "model minority." Writers from these two
groups thus share the pattern and the burden of the paradigmatic "success
story." From assimilation
narrative to diasporic experiment, Asian American and Jewish American writers
record the presses of this experience in ways that display a peculiar set of
interethnic affinities. What happens,
for instance, when a second-generation Chinese daughter decides to become
Jewish? The course will examine how problems of cultural translation inflect
autobiographical and literary forms--and how questions of gender, language, and
place shape these narratives of longing and belonging. Readings will include
theoretical discussions of autobiography, in particular the ethnographic
imperative (Cheung, Gay, Lim, Lowe, Sommer). Works by: Antin, Hoffman, Jen,
Kingston, Kogawa, Lee, Paley, Roth, Spiegelman, Wong.
One
term-paper due at the end of the semester; one oral presentation.
WSCP U81000 - Critical
Whiteness: Gender, Rhetoric, and Pedagogy in AWhiteness Studies@
GC R 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Ira Shor [60581][Cross listed with Eng. 79001]
A
century ago, W.E.B. DuBois published THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK, an extraordinary
book for which no equal exists vis a vis Athe souls of white folk.@ Why has Ablackness@ been so much more examined
than Awhiteness@? Does the under-explored condition of whiteness
help play down white advantage in school and society? Does the dominant
position of whiteness confer protection from scrutiny as well as license to
observe and define others? As it happens, the under-examined profile of
whiteness has been changing. For over a decade now, a critical discourse on
whiteness has been evolving in several areas. Growing out of multiculturalism,
feminism, cultural studies, and critical legal studies, this new Awhiteness@ field is controversial.
Some see it as narcissistically re-centering the white position in the face of
multicultural efforts to dismantle racism. Others see it as a needed inquiry
into an Ainvisible whiteness@ which privileges white
people.
As
an intellectual project, Acritical whiteness@ asks why white privilege
continues even though racial segregation is illegal and equality is the law of
the land.
WSCP U81000 - Victorian
Textures
GC T 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Eve Sedgwick [60582][Cross listed with Eng. 80200]
This seminar will undertake
to analyze textures in British Victorian material and literary culture. Our first and continuing project will be to
arrive at some working definitions of "texture," including its
relation to sight and touch, to scale, to structure and organization, to
changing means and materials of production, to ornamentation, to sound, to
affects and sexualities, and to changing perceptual technologies.
The readings of fiction,
prose, and poetry in the seminar will be aimed at developing a rich thematic
sense of the textures of the material world of the Victorians, but
simultaneously at understanding how the authors themselves use texture as a
tool for gaining theoretical leverage on issues of history, class, imperial
relations, spirituality, science and technology,gender and sexuality, labor and
pleasure, and representation. At the
same time, the class will work on developing a vocabulary for the formal and
phenomenological analysis of writerly texture itself.
Authors read may include
Ruskin, Eliot, Tennyson, Dickens, Morris, Thackeray, and Somerville and Ross.
WSCP U81000 - On Visual Culture
GC R 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits. Prof. Mary Ann Caws [60583][Cross listed with Eng. 80200]
About monuments and
mutability, this seminar will start its wandering path with a pause in front of
cussion of one poetic and one prose work: Rilke's great poem,
"Requiem," for Paula Modersohn-Becker, and his letters to Clara about
Cezanne. For words help us see, which is part of the modus vivendi according to
which we will operate. Visual culture is, and the works about it are,
proliferating, so there will be no lack of things to read, or to look at. We
will do our looking from earlyish to late, from mannerism to the modern, from
symbolism to surrealism, with less regard for chronology than for ways of
seeing and speaking about what we see. Films, poems, paintings will make up the
general bill of fare. We will read Guy Davenport, William Gass, Robert Hass,
John Hollander, Rosalind Krauss, Linda
Nochlin, Meyer Schapiro, Wendy Steiner,
and each other. One short paper and one long one, class reports, and the keeping
of a journal of reading and meditating on the topics.
WSCP U81000 - The Literature and Culture of World War I
GC W 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Jane Marcus [60584][Cross listed with Eng. 86700]
Classic war novels, films and
poetry will be covered. But the
emphasis will be on the Other World War I, in the work of women, South Asians,
gays, the Irish and blacks. The body in
pain and constructions of masculinity will be studied in painting, monuments
and historical narratives as well as fiction.
The question of the remembrance of the war as it is represented by
contemporary fiction and Pat Barker=s Regeneration trilogy. All
Quiet on the Western Front will be read along with Not So Quiet..., a women=s novel, and Mulk Raj Anand=s Across the Black Waters.
Margaret Higonnet=s Lines
of Fire anthology reprints work by women from all over the world. Pacifist and feminist critiques of the war
will be read, along with the classic historical works on this very literary
war, Gertrude Stein=s Wars
I have Seen and on a collection of women=s plays about the war.
WSCP U81000 - Black Feminist Thought:Visual Culture
GC R 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Michele Wallace [60586][Cross listed Eng. 86100]
This class will consider
issues intersecting visual culture and images of peoples of color at the
turn-of-the-century and during the early 20th century up to and including the
20s and the 30s and the period of Nancy Cunard=s infamous and fascinating
Negro Anthology, a massive private publication which still hasn=t been republished in its
entirety. A particular focus of the course will be on the potential for black
feminist interpretations of anthropological photography of Native Americans,
Africans and the indigenous populations of Oceania and the Pacific at the
turn-of-the-century. We will also consider the philosophical implications for
Modernism in Western art and culture of the prolific displays of colonial
populations of color at the many world=s fair, parks, zoos, museums
of natural history, expositions and colonial fairs throughout Europe and the
U.S.
Also, a further point of
comparison will be provided by the particular case of photography of
Afro-Americans as recently freed persons at such educational institutions as
Hampton University and Tuskeegee at the turn-of-century and in the early 20th
century. It seems no accident that some
of the most notable photographers of the period and of the subsequent FSA collections
were women, such as Frances Johnston Benjamin, Doris Ullman and Dorothea Lange.
WSCP U81000 - Translated Lives: Postcolonial Texts, Anglophone/
Francophone
GC R 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Profs. Meena Alexander/ Francesca Sautman [60585] [Cross
listed with Eng 86000 and Fren 87300] Course taught in English
We will explore questions of
cultural translation, migratory memory and aesthetic self-fashioning in
Anglophone and Francophone texts drawn both from the early era of
decolonization and the late twentieth century.
We will consider the
tensions that come into play within transnational narratives that fashion
selves and refigure identities, even as they focus on traumatic memory,
migratory homes and multiple exiles. These tensions are further complicated by
matters of gender and sexual identities that cross national and cultural
borders. The course will devote careful attention to these complementary,
sometimes competing, forms of identity and their interplay.
In the course of exploring
these and related questions of territory, text and self-identity we will
attempt to chart the interface between Anglophone and Francophone cultural
production. The French texts that we have selected are available also in
English translation. Students who read French can do all their Francophone
readings in French, and also use supplementary works in French not translated
into English by the authors on the syllabus.
Course requirements: The course will be run as a
seminar with weekly student participation, assigned readings and detailed
discussion. One midterm written paper and one final research paper 15-30 pages.
WSCP U81000 - History of Feminism
GC W 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Bonnie S. Anderson [60587][Cross listed with Hist.
74300]
This course will study the phenomenon of feminism transnationally, dealing with material from the United States, Europe, and India. Beginning in the European Renaissance, with a consideration of the first feminist texts, we will focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. After considering the impact of the transatlantic revolutions and industrialization on the formation of feminism, European and U.S. women=s movements and feminist approaches will be examined and compared. We will then turn to a consideration of feminism in India from its colonial roots to its current autonomy and global import. This will lead into our final unit: women=s movements and global feminism since 1968.
WSCP U81000 - Seminar in Music History: Gender/Sexuality/Music
GC T 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Room 3491,
3 credits, Prof. Ellie M. Hisama [60588][Cross listed with Mus 86900]
An interdisciplinary
examination of the ways that issues of gender and sexuality have informed
composition, musicology, music theory, and analysis We will consider a variety of
music including Western classical music and popular music in order to
investigate how performing musicians, composers, audiences, scholars, critics,
and others have consciously or unconsciously understood music to be gendered.
The seminar explores and builds upon previous efforts to theorize music using
gender as a unit of analysis. Readings by Cusick, McClary, Tick, and others.
Enrollment in the seminar will be limited to fifteen (15) students.
WSCP U81000 - Social Movements in America
GC W 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Frances Fox Piven [60589][Cross listed with Pol Sci
82601 and SOC 84600]
This course has two main
parts. We will begin with an examination of the major theories which purport to
explain the origins of movements, the forms they take, and their consequences.
We will give particular attention to the understandings of power implicit or
explicit in different perspectives on movements and their impact. I will use this occasion to discuss what I
think is a distinctive perspective on power and movements which I am developing
in connection with my own work.
The
second part of the course is empirical. We will look at a series of twentieth
century American protest movements
which, in complex ways, altered the patterns of American politics, and may have
also changed American political institutions. In particular, we will focus on
labor protests, black protests, some of the "new social movements"
(including the movements that focus on sexual behaviors and gender identities),
and the new anti-corporate protests spreading in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The
requirements for this course include regular participation in discussion, which
means timely completion of reading assignments. Your grade will be based on
your participation in class, and on a research paper, designed in consultation
with me.
WSCP U81000 - Conceptualizing Black Identity
GC M 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. William E. Cross Jr.[60729][Cross listed with Psych.
80100]
How have poets, novelists,
historians, anthropologists, sociologists, journalists, and psychologists
conceived black identity, both in the past and present? What historical, contextual and ecological
factors inform their conceptualizations?
This seminar, which is designed to engage graduate students from a broad
range of disciplines, will trace the origin and persistence of various concepts
of black identity, inclusive of those originating in the minds and fantasies of
the other", as well as those that are a reflection of the interior
psychological world of blacks, themselves.
To the extent that our inquiry reveals a thousand black personas, we
will also seek to understand the social forces that lead to stereotypic and
simplistic thinking about black identity. The last segment of the seminar will
focus on empirical strategies for researching black identity.
WSCP U81000 - Death, Dying & Palliation
GC T 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. David J. Bearison [60730][Cross listed with Psych.
80100]
Interdisciplinary
perspectives on death, dying and palliation
This seminar will consider
dying less as a biological reaction than a social reaction to a basically
unpredictable process complicated by biological, medical, historical, and
cultural factors reflecting our fears, biases, prejudices, and ideologies. It explores the experience and culture of
dying in order to provide better means of palliation for the dying and modes of
coping for those caring (professionally and personally) for them. It values multi-disciplinary and
cross-disciplinary perspectives while disdaining any search for a canonical
view of death and dying. We will rely
less on theories and empirical studies as source material and more on case studies
from a variety of practice venues.
Some of the topics to be
considered are: biological perspectives, medical perspectives, hospice care,
literary perspectives, narratives of dying, autobiographical perspectives, ways
of socially constructing death and dying and the distancing of the sociocentric
self, psycho-social issues in terminal pain and pain management, case study
methods, ways of communicating bad news about dying, lessons from dying
children, family bereavement: coping with death of child/death of parent,
personal perspectives and self-assessment of palliative care, cultural beliefs
and practices [incl. non-Western modes of dying], practice-based insights from
those caring for the elderly and dying, medical ethics regarding terminally ill
patients (incl. physician assisted suicides), governmental and institutional
policies regarding death, dying, and bereavement, issues in public and
professional education about death and dying, life after life and spiritual
fulfillment.
WSCP U81000 - Urban Health: Environmental, Individual, and Social
Aspects
GC T 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Profs. Steve Lepore/ Susan Saegert [60732][Cross listed with
Psych. 80100]
Urban health refers to
health problems associated with urban living, as well as health problems that are
most likely to affect populations that are highly concentrated in urban areas,
such as minorities and recent immigrants.
This course surveys the range of urban health problems and attempts to
identify underlying causes and potential solutions to urban health crises. We begin with a survey of the prevalence and
geography of health problems within and across urban centers, and how they have
changed in recent decades. These problems
include the concentration of certain diseases (e.g., AIDS, asthma, infant
mortality, victimization) and health disparities among different urban
populations (e.g., excess lung cancer in African Americans, excess asthma in
Latinos). We will explore risk and
protective factors that vary with race, ethnicity, social class, and gender in
order to understand both disease concentration and health disparities. We also consider the contribution of the
physical and social environment of cities to health. Throughout the course, we will emphasize the interactions of
biological, psychological, social, and environmental processes in health. Social processes will include family and
small group, cultural, economic and social structural levels. The course will
conclude with an examination of successful urban health interventions and of
the hurdles involved in mounting such interventions. This section of the course
will focus on characteristics and processes in urban areas that can support
health. For example, urban enclaves and
the cultural diversity of cities can support the health of vulnerable
populations as well as provide unique settings for successful prevention and
treatment programs.
WSCP U81000 - Workplace Culture: Technology, Time & Gender
GC W 4:15 - 6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Cynthia Fuchs Epstein [60591][Cross listed with Soc.
83300]
This seminar will explore
the culture and social structure of the workplace. It will examine the beliefs, myths, values and practices in the
larger culture, interacting with the distinctive "cultures" and organization of workplaces. Ideologies of gender, class and race will be
highlighted, as well sex and race segregation. "Boundary" issues such
as male-female; skilled-unskilled; worker-managment; work-non-work and
clean-dirty work will be explored in the context of technological and social
change. We will consider theories of work place segmentation, and look at
processes of control, as well as resistance and subversion. These issues will
be discussed by examining some theoretical work and a number of case studies,
classic and contemporary (e.g. Lipset, Trow and Coleman; Buraway; Cockburn;
Beechy; Halle, Epstein, Kornblum, Lorber; Kanter; Zuboff; Braverman,
Zimbalist).
Students will also do a modest amount of research in a workplace, which will be the basis of discussion and the core of a research report at the end of the term.
WSCP U81000 - Gender &
Globalization
GC T 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Hester Eisenstein [60592][Cross listed with Soc.80900]
In
this course we will examine the relationship between the phenomenon now widely
termed "globalization," and the changes in gender relations that have
taken place since the rise of the second wave of the women's movement in the
1970s. In the period referred to as
postmodern, that is, since the end of the long boom in western industrialized
countries (from 1945 to the mid-1970s), academic and mainstream feminism have
enjoyed enormous success during a period of economic, social, and political
restructuring that has created the greatest gap between rich and poor since the
first Industrial Revolution. How has contemporary feminism been shaped by
changes in the workforce participation of women? What is the role of class in
the women's movement, domestically and internationally? Why are issues of gender, sexuality and race
so central to the culture wars being waged at home and abroad by religious
fundamentalist leaders? Can the historic
conflicts between white women and women of color be healed within a multicultural
women's movement? How does gender play
out in the revived social movement that has placed the World Trade
Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank at the center
of an intensified campaign for social justice? Readings in the course will be
selected from theoretical writings as well as empirically based case studies,
and students will be encouraged to develop their own research and activist
agendas.
WSCP
U81000 - The Social Unconscious: Culture, Self & Society
GC W 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Catherine Silver [60594][Cross listed with Soc.83101]
In this seminar we engage in
a critical analysis of the role of the unconscious in the analysis of self,
culture and society. This seminar focuses on the theoretical and empirical
implications of making unconscious mechanisms central to social theorizing.
Class readings are organized around issues of self, subjectivity, and desire
combined with an analysis of social institutions and processes, such as dynamics
of power and domination in intimate relations, the workplace and cultural
representations. We analyze the hidden meanings and unacknowledged fears
expressed in ideologies about race, gender, and age. We study the mutually
re-enforcing mechanisms between unconscious wishes, psychic conflicts and
social structures through which social reality is re-defined, distorted and
transformed. We also discuss research designs and methods (especially
interviewing) that are best suited to study the tensions, contradictions and
ambivalences embedded in this view of social reality.
Students are expected to
either write a research paper, a research proposal, or engage in field
research. Maximum size of seminar 15 students.
WSCP U81000 - Social Construction of Illness
GC R 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Barbara Katz Rothman [60595][Cross listed with
Soc.83100]
Illness writes the body: our sense of self, of health, of our physical being, takes meaning from the contrast with illness. And the social world writes illness: what it is to be ill; what categories of illness are acknowledged; how illness is defined, managed and determined. The study of illness places us at the intersection of agency and social control; body and society; the >natural= and the >technological=, the self and the social world. This course will consider social epidemiology, the social causation of disease, or disease as it is written in race, sex and class; illness as performance and as representation; and medicalization, placing more and more areas of life into the medical frame. We will begin with the social construction of birth and death, and construct the rest of the course around student research interests and mutual agreement.
WSCP U81000 - Social Theories of the Body
GC M 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Patricia T. Clough [60596][Cross listed with Soc.86800]
A relatively new area of
study in sociology, this course looks at what constitutes a sociology of the
body and asks "why sociology of the body now?" In answering this question students will
explore the way in which a sociology of the body is related to recent changes
in laboring--producing and reproducing; changes in knowledge production--the internet and distance learning; changes
in the sciences --biotechnology and genetics; changes in agencies other than
human agency, and changes in privacy and leisure. The course necessarily takes
up the epistemological and ontological questions raised by the study of the
body in sociology and other related fields such as feminist theory, queer
theory, post-colonial theory and critical race theory. Students will compose projects befitting
this relatively new intellectual interest in bodies with emphasis on
ethnography and qualitative methodologies.
WSCP U81000 - Social Welfare Policy and Planning
H T 2:00-4:00 p.m., Room
_____, 3 credits, Prof. Mimi Abramovitz [60597][Cross listed with SSW 71000]
Social welfare policy
represents solutions to social problems. This advanced introduction to social
welfare policy in the United States reviews the history of the US welfare
state; contemporary social welfare
policies; social, economic and
political forces contributing to the expansion and contraction of the welfare
state, and alternative welfare state models. With a view toward developing framework for analyzing
social welfare policy and the skills for critical analysis, the course examines
social welfare policy through the filters of history, welfare state theories,
political ideologies and social change. Special attention is paid to dynamics
of race, gender and class and to Feminist theories of the welfare state. In a
final paper, students conduct policy analysis using the frameworks developed in
class.

GC W 4:15-6:15 p.m., Room
_____, 1 credits, Prof. Fine [60453] Offered 11/13/01/-12/11/01
S:\Women's Studies\WP51\Fl2001\1CourText.wpd
