Aut 07	13001	08	Hist of European Civ 1	Albritton Jonsson, Fredrik	"European Civilization" is a two-quarter sequence designed to introduce students to the nature and history of European civilization from the early middle ages to the twentieth century. It complements parallel sequences in ancient Mediterranean, Byzantine, Islamic, and American civilizations, and may be supplemented by a third quarter designed to expand a student's understanding of European civilization in a particular direction. Emphasis will be placed throughout on the recurring tension between universal aspirations and localizing boundaries, and on the fundamental rhythms of tradition and change. Method consists of close reading of primary sources intended to illuminate the formation and development of a characteristically European way of life in the high middle ages; the collapse of ecclesiastical universalism in the early modern period; and the development of modern politics, society, and culture in the centuries to follow. Individual instructors may choose different sources to illuminate those themes, but some of the most important readings will be the same in all sections.

Aut 07	13900	00	Intro to Russian Civilization 1	Hellie, Richard,	This two-quarter, interdisciplinary course studies geography, history, literature, economics, law, fine arts, religion, sociology, and agriculture, among other fields, to see how the civilization of Russia has developed and functioned since the ninth century. The first quarter covers the period up to 1801; the second, since 1801. The course has a common lecture by a specialist in the field, usually on a topic about which little is written in English. Two weekly seminar meetings are devoted to discussion of the readings, which integrate the materials from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. The course attempts to inculcate an understanding of the separate elements of Russian civilization. Emphasis is placed on discovering indigenous elements of Russian civilization and how they have reacted to the pressures and impact of other civilizations, particularly Byzantine, Mongol-Tataric, and Western. The course also considers problems of the social sciences, such as the way in which the state has dominated society, stratification, patterns of legitimization of the social order, symbols of collective social and cultural identity, the degrees of pluralism in society, and the autonomy an individual has vis-à-vis the social order. Also examined are such problems as the role of the center in directing the periphery and its cultural, political, and economic order; the mechanisms of control over the flow of resources and the social surplus; and processes of innovation and modernization.

Aut 07	15800	01	Nomads and Fellahin in Anc Near East	Richards, Seth	Is a social history, a history from below, of the Ancient Near East possible? Most ancient texts document only the lives and concerns of a small sphere of élites, who are then the usual subjects of our histories. This course will try to reset the frame of inquiry around people on the periphery, the other 90% of the population. In examining ethnic and social identity, the organization of economic production, and the political order of the state, we will develop a clearer picture of the pastoralists, villagers, and tribesmen who maintained (but sometimes radically changed) the apex of the urban social order.
Aut 07	16101	01	Latin American Civ 1	Borges, Dain	This sequence fulfills the Common Core requirement in civilizational studies by introducing students to the history and cultures of Latin America, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands. Autumn quarter examines the origins of civilizations in Latin America with a focus and the political, social, and cultural features of the major preColumbian civilizations of the Maya, Inca, and Aztec. The quarter concludes with consideration of the Spanish and Portuguese conquest and the construction of colonial societies in Latin America. Winter quarter addresses the evolution of colonial societies, the wars of independence, and the emergence of Latin American nation-states in the changing international context of the nineteenth century. Spring quarter focuses on the twentieth century, with special emphasis on the challenges of economic, political, and social development in the region.
Aut 07	16403	01	Populism in Latin America	Ben, Pablo	This course explores the relationship between leaders and masses emerging around the mid twentieth century in three crucial countries of Latin America. The readings focus on the development of the working class and the peasantry in relation to the state in the presidencies of Domingo Perón in Argentina, Getulio Vargas in Brazil and Lázaro Cárdenas in Mexico. The relationship between state and civil society is also considered from the point of view of the cultural politics of the time.

Aut 07	17300	01	Science/Culture/Society in West Civ 1	Richards, Robert	This civilizational sequence focuses on the origins and development of science in the West. The aim is to trace the evolution of the biological, psychological, natural, and mathematical sciences as they emerge from the cultural and social matrix of their periods, and in turn, affect culture and society. Each quarter may be taken independently, although it is suggested that students take the entire sequence in order.
Aut 07	18301	01	Colonizations 1	Gutierrez, Ramon	The course will approach the concept of "civilization" from an emphasis on cross-cultural and societal connections. We will explore the dynamics of conquest, slavery, and colonialism and their reciprocal relationships with concepts such as resistance, freedom, and independence with an eye toward understanding their interlocking role in the making of the modern world. The first quarter (Colonizations I) will take slavery, colonization, and the making of the Atlantic world as its central thematic. The second quarter (Colonizations II) will take colonization as its theme, with emphasis on Asia and the Pacific. It will start with a consideration of the pre-modern Arab and Chinese empires and then turn to European and Japanese colonialism (and decolonization) in Asia. The course will be taught as a two-quarter sequence. Students must take both quarters.

Aut 07	18403	01	Migrant Religions and Ethnicities in the Americas, 1870-1940	Young, Julia	This course examines religious diasporas among migrants to and between the Americas from 1870 and 1940, using specific case studies to question theories of ethnic assimilation. After reviewing both assimilation theories and the general history of global migration during this period, we will use a variety of primary and secondary sources in order to investigate the religious activities and political goals of these migrants. Our case studies will include Irish and Mexican migrants fighting for political causes with the help of the Catholic Church; Armenian refugees whose parishes organized around the cause of independence; Zionist Eastern European Jews; and Japanese emperor-worshiping nationalist associations. In the final weeks of the course, we will return to theoretical questions, asking how the cases we have examined help us to challenge and question theories of assimilation.
Aut 07	21101	01	Science in Victorian Britain	Winter, Alison	This course examines developments in science and intellectual life in British society from the 1830s through the end of the nineteenth century, with an emphasis on the use of original sources (both as readings and during class discussion). We will explore the status of science in public culture, the rise of specialization and professionalization, the status of "heterodox" or "alternative" scientific and medical practices, and a variety of specific intellectual developments and projects, including evolution, mathematical physics, and sociology.
Aut 07	21701	01	Byzantine Empire, 330-610	Kaegi, Walter	A lecture course, with limited discussion, of the formation of early Byzantine government, society, and culture. Although a survey of event and changes, including external relations, many of the latest scholarly controversies will also receive scrutiny. There will be some discussion of relevant archaeology and topography. No prerequisite. Readings will include some primary sources in translation and examples of modern scholarly interpretations. Final examination and a short paper.
Aut 07	22001	01	Byzantium and Islam	Kaegi, Walter	This is a lecture and discussion course on selected Byzantine-Islamic experiences from the emergence of Islam in the seventh century through the middle of the eleventh century. This is not a narrative survey. There is no single textbook. Topics will include diplomatic (political), military, economic, cultural, and religious relations that range from subtle influences and adaptations to open polemics. Readings will include modern scholarly interpretations as well as primary source readings in translation. No prerequisite. Final examination and short paper.
Aut 07	22203	01	The Holy Roman Empire, 962-1356	Lyon, Jonathan	During the first four centuries of its existence, the Holy Roman Empire emerged as one of the most politically and culturally heterogeneous states in all of Europe. A vast expanse of central Europe that is today divided among more than a dozen different nations was ruled at least in theory by the emperors during the High Middle Ages. The purpose of this course is to trace some of the major developments in imperial history between 962 (Emperor Otto I s coronation) and 1356 (the Golden Bull). Topics will include the changing nature of imperial authority from the Ottonians to the Habsburgs; the Church s and the nobility s establishment of quasi-independent lordships inside imperial territory; papal-imperial relations; and the eastward expansion of the empire.
Aut 07	22204	01	Modern Britain 1688-1990	Albritton Jonsson, Fredrik	Our focus in this survey will be the vexed question of Britain's modernity from James II to Margaret Thatcher. Why and how did this island nation evolve into a global empire? Through primary sources and case studies we will emphasize the connections between empire and industry with a particular stress on problematic topics such as political stability and taxation, the 1707 union with Scotland, the emergence of classical political economy, industrialization and class consciousness, free trade imperialism, women and the origins of the welfare state. Readings will include texts by John Brewer, E.P. Thompson and Nicoletta Gullace.
Aut 07	23000	01	Intellectual Property & Piracy	Johns, Adrian	Intellectual property presents some of the most pressing problems in modern science, industry, and law. This course helps students to understand why. It explains the principles of modern intellectual property, by examining their historical development over the last five hundred years. Using sources from the history of literature, art, and music as well as from modern science and information technology students will discover how piracy and property have clashed since the Renaissance, and still do so today. They will then be well-placed to address the central problem of intellectual property, and one of the most basic questions facing today's universities: what is the proper relation between creativity and commerce?
Aut 07	23404	01	Jews and Modernity in Eastern Europe	Sloin, Andrew	This course will introduce students to major themes in Jewish social, cultural, and political history in Eastern Europe from 1648-1968, with particular emphasis on the regions of modern-day Russia, Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. We will seek to conceptualize Jews as a transnational group that played a critical role in the formation of distinctly modern social, economic, and political forms throughout this region. Among the topics to be examined are: Jewish social and religious life in early modern Poland; the birth of Russian Jewry following the Partitions of Poland; the Jewish Enlightenment (Haskalah) in Eastern Europe; modern Jewish nationalism and the advent of Jewish revolutionary radicalism; Jewish artistic experimentation in the inter-war period; the phenomena of inter-war and post-war anti-Semitism; and the Holocaust. No previous background in Jewish or Eastern European history is required.
Aut 07	23810	01	Sex and Gender in Russian Culture, 1830-Present	Larsen, Susan	This course traces the history of Russian debates about gender and sexuality from the 19th through the 21st centuries as registered in literary, visual, political, and material culture. Course topics include: the emergence of Russian women as writers in the 1830s; gender roles and radical politics in the 1860s and 1870s; decadent art and homoeroticism in the 1890s and 1900s; utopian social goals and revolutionary sexualities in the 1920s; shifting Soviet and post-Soviet constructions of gender and sexuality; Russian feminisms and nascent queer movements. Primary texts will include fiction, memoir, poetry, drama, political manifestos, fashion design, posters, paintings, popular song, and cinema. Short secondary readings will provide both theoretical and historical contexts. Discussions will be conducted in English. All texts will be available in both English and Russian.
Aut 07	25100	01	Gender in Hist of Sci/Med	Winter, Alison	FULL TITLE: "Gender in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine" An examination of how notions of masculinity and femininity have influenced the history of science, technology, and medicine since 1600. Topics will include study of the rise of women in scientific and medical institutions and of the ongoing debates about whether men and women have (or have had) different ways of understanding the natural world.
Aut 07	25203	01	Econ/ Soc Hist of Euro, 1700-1880	Craig, John	This course examines the causes, characteristics, and effects -- economic, social, and otherwise -- of the "industrious" and industrial revolutions. The course reviews an array of unresolved debates, among them the so-called Brenner debate and the debates over proto-industrialization, the enclosure movements, the sources of technological innovation, path dependence and diffusion patterns within and across economies, the family economy, the standard of living, the formation of the middle and working classes, the consequences of literacy, and the voluntary iniatives and public policies addressing such social problems as poverty, disease, illegitimacy, and crime. The course is the first in a two-course sequence covering the economic and social history of Europe from 1700 to the present, but each course is free-standing -- students enrolled in this course are not required to take its sequel.
Aut 07	25304	01	Goethe: Literature, Science, Philosophy	Richards, Robert	This lecture-discussion course will examine Johann Wolfgang von Goethe s intellectual development, from the time he wrote Sorrows of a Young Werther through the final stages of Faust. Along the way, we will read a selection of Goethe s plays, poetry, and travel literature. We will also examine his scientific work, especially his theory of color and his morphological theories. On the philosophical side, we will discuss Goethe s coming to terms with Kant (especially the latter s third Critique) and his adoption of Schelling s transcendental idealism. The theme uniting the exploration of the various works of Goethe will be the unity of the artistic and scientific understanding of nature, especially as he exemplified that unity in the eternal feminine. German is not required, but helpful.
Aut 07	25704	01	Islamic History and Society 1	Fleischer, Cornell	The course covers the period ca. 600 to 1100 C.E., including the rise and spread of Islam, the Islamic empire under the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphs, and the emergence of regional Islamic states from Afghanistan and eastern Iran to North Africa and Spain.
Aut 07	26100	01	History of Mod Spain, Circa 1808-1980	Tenorio, Mauricio	Spain is the region, the country --the dimension-- that is at the roots of what it is called modern in the West. And yet, Spain is not often seen either as fully western, or as the truly great partera of modern times. To the contrary, it is commonly ignored, not belonging to either of the arbitrary clusters -- Europe and Latin America. And yet Spain portentously shaped the destiny of Europe and the Americas. The course is designed as a general introduction to the political, cultural, and social history of Spain from the Napoleonic wars --when the French invasion of Spain produced wars of independence both in the peninsula and in the Americas -- to the 1970s Spanish transition to democracy which very significantly marked the beginning of a new democratic wave in the world. The course fundamentally seeks to sparkle your curiosity to learn more about Spain, and to think history U.S., Latin American , European, African with its indispensable ingredient reinstalled in your historical imagination, namely, Spain. The course will consist of lectures and class discussions. Students will be asked to write one-page reports on specific assignments (films, novels, etc.). In addition, there will be a mid-term take-home essay and a final take-home essay.
Aut 07	26104	01	Independence & State Formation in 19th Century Latin Amer	Myers, Jorge	Full Title: Independence and State Formation in 19th Century Latin America: New Research Prespectives Approaches to the political and Institutional history of Latin America In the 1810-1880 period, with and emphasis on the study of elections, citizenship, and the various elements contributing to the formation -- or absence -- of a public sphere In Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Mexico.
Aut 07	26505	01	Coll: Latin American and Latino Sexualities	Gutierrez, Ramon	This course studies the relationship between sexual and ethnic identities in Latin America and among Latinas and Latinos in the United States. Using the methods of social history, cultural anthropology, and sociology, we will explore debates about the meanings of the body, gender, sexual practices, the emergence of identities based on heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality, the development of sexual subcultures, and the relationship between power and desire as inflected by class, race, and generational differences.
Aut 07	26902	01	Pakistan: A Failed State?	Khan, Atiya	Several questions arise while examining the socio-political history of Pakistan: What was at stake in its foundation in1947? Was it created in the name of Islam? Was Pakistan destined to be a military state from its inception? How might we understand the break up of East and West Pakistan after the Bangladesh War in 1971? This course will critically evaluate the formation of Pakistan and the subsequent crisis of nationalism. By focusing on the limitations of nationalism that became apparent by the 1950s, the course will zero in on the rise of radical democratic political energies in the 1960s and 70s, which, in turn, opened up the possibility of a steady process of democratization in the country. Yet the eventual collapse of these progressive movements, the rise of ethnic linguistic nationalisms and the emergence of Taliban style Islamicism in the 80s, only beg the question: Is Pakistan a failed state?

Aut 07	27410	01	Racialization and the Private Sphere in the US	Potter, Sarah	This course explores the ways in which people s private lives their homes, families, and intimate relationships have been crucial to the reproduction of race and racial difference in American law, culture, and social life. By examining primary documents such as films, photographs, and court cases, as well as by reading historical texts, we will consider various ways ideas about race have been interwoven with those about gender, sexuality, marriage, and family in US history. In particular, we will interrogate racialized communities efforts to define and embody proper family forms in relation to other groups, attempts on the part of the state and colonial projects to gain authority through interventions in people s domestic and sexual lives, and the politicization of the family in different contexts to achieve racially progressive or conservative ends.

Aut 07	29303	01	Human Rgts 3	Gzesh, Susan	This course examines the main features of the contemporary human rights system. It covers the major international treaties, and the mechanisms international, regional, and national established to implement them. We also discuss the uses and limitations of the international treaty system, and the relationship between international obligations and domestic implementation. Problems of rights implementation are related to issues of evidence, professional ethics, and political feasibility. Legal and medical concepts are applied to topics such as torture, political repression, war crimes and genocide, refugees, women s rights, children's rights, violations of human rights within the United States, and medical ethics.
Aut 07	29306	01	Problems in the Study of Gender	Albritton, Victoria	This section of Problems in Gender Studies will use four case-studies to address the intersection of gender, race, politics, religion, economy, and reproduction in the contemporary world. Each of these case studies provides the opportunity to use a different body of gender theory to think through an issue of central importance to our time. The first case study will allow us to address the gendered dynamics of religion and immigration. In this study we will analyze both how, when and why Muslim women and girls in Europe wear a head covering and the varied responses of European states and societies. We will then move, through a study of the Parity Law in France to the question of formal politics. The Parity Law mandates that half of all elected politicians be women. We will assess the philosophical underpinning of the law, its application, its successes and failures. The third case will be the Back-to-the-Home Movement in the United States. The proportion of heterosexual professional white mothers choosing to leave the work force is rising each year. This section of the course will address the whys and wherefores of this development. The course will conclude with a topic at the intersection of law, medicine and gender: assisted reproduction. Here we will discuss the different laws and practices governing both medically assisted reproduction and adoption in a comparative framework. Materials will include theoretical and empirical texts, fiction, newspaper articles, websites, film, and legislation.
Aut 07	29307	01	Transitional Justice in Modern Europe	Steinberg, Ronen	This course examines how societies in Modern European history have dealt with the transition from periods of intense violence and massive human rights violations to ones of relative peace and stability. How did societies experiencing such transitions negotiate the slippery road between vengeance and forgiveness, remembering and forgetting, justice and stability? This course will explore these questions, focusing on the cases of the French Revolution, European colonialism, the Nuremberg Trials in the aftermath of World War Two, the post-Communist transitions, and the aftermath of the conflict in the Balkans. In the process, we will try to understand what, indeed, is the role of "justice" in such different contexts of transition.
Aut 07	29603	01	Hist Coll: Chicago's South Side	Conzen, Kathleen	FULL TITLE: "Colloquium: Hyde Park and Chicago's South Side as Historical Laboratory" This colloquium uses Hyde Park and Chicago's South Side as a case study to introduce students to issues and methodologies in the history and historical geography of American urban life during the past century and a half. Discussions will focus on both primary and secondary source readings, and each participant will design and carry out an original research project.
Aut 07	29611	01	Hist Coll: Modern Tourism	Harris, Neil	This undergraduate colloquium will concentrate on American tourism and travel in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Readings will include travel books by and about Americans, some theoretical perspectives, institutional histories, and social commentaries. The colloquium will examine some earlier historical periods and include some international comparisons. But it will focus upon the settings, sensibilities, display systems, and marketing methods which combine to make tourism and travel so powerful an element in American and world culture. A fifteen-page research paper is required. Some paper writers, if they wish, should be able to examine local tourism and tourist institutions.
