The intensity of this primordial fascination erupted with new vehemence in nineteenth-century America, England, and France as discussions of transmutation (what became evolution) destabilized the already fragile line distinguishing man and beast. This First Year Seminar adopts an interdisciplinary approach to how questions of animals and animality were developed across both generic and national boundaries: the burgeoning fields of anthropology, zoology, and sociology will be read alongside art and literature of the period. In addition to the controversial writings of Charles Darwin, Carol Adams, and Marc Bekoff, texts will include Edgar Allen Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," Robert Louis Stevenson¿s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Anna Sewell's Black Beauty, Jack London's The Call of the Wild, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FYS 101 11 4043 First-Year Seminar Lecture 3 The Call of the Wild Class Dates: 08/28/2013 - 12/21/2013 Bldg: Jordan Hall Room: 207 Days: TuTh Time: 2:25pm - 3:40pm Instructor: Hofstetter,Angela D Class Enrl Cap: 18 Class Enrl Tot: 18 Class Wait Cap: 0 Class Wait Tot: 0 Class Min Enrl: 0 Drawings of horses, stags, and bulls on the caves of Lascaux illustrate that animals have captured the human imagination since the dawn of the Paleolithic era as food, workers, companions, and fellow warriors: our path to modernity tells the tales of a relationship paradoxically fraught with violence and love.

What makes us who we are? At the same time, cultures are constantly exchanging information and goods, affecting and shaping each other. In this course, we will look at how both individual and cultural memory are shaped and exchanged as individuals cross cultural, geographical, and linguistic borders. We will look at memory from both a scientific and a literary perspective. By reading fiction, memoir, autobiography, and history, we will also try to understand how identity is translated across culture. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Semester one is not prerequisite to semester two, but students who enroll in this topic in the fall are expected to enroll in this topic in the spring.In this course we will be reading texts from various genres (personal essay, memoir, graphic "novel," and poetry), each focusing on some aspect of the Self- self-image, self and community, self and culture. We will discuss how self-expression manifests itself in each genre--how each genre reveals or clarifies particular insights about the self. The class will be discussion-based, but students will keep a journal, respond to a variety of writing prompts and write essays triggered by the readings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FYS 101 15 4047 First-Year Seminar Lecture 3 Madness and Creativity Class Dates: 08/28/2013 - 12/21/2013 Bldg: Gallahue Hall Room: 202 Days: TuTh Time: 9:35am - 10:50am Instructor: Neville,Susan S Class Enrl Cap: 18 Class Enrl Tot: 18 Class Wait Cap: 0 Class Wait Tot: 0 Class Min Enrl: 0 What does it mean to be creative? What does it mean to be insane? Is there a connection between genius and insanity, and if so, what is it? In this year-long course we¿ll study literature, the visual arts, politics and music through the lens of madness or ¿unreason.¿ We'll talk about the connection between modernism and madness, about the profound differences and similarities between delusions and stories, the work of the mad before psychotropic drugs and the work of artists after. Texts will include works by Sylvia Plath, David Foster Wallace, Nijinsky, Van Gogh and others (Amy Winehouse? Heath Ledger?) with the goal of understanding how the diagnosis of a psychiatric illness helped or hindered their work, whether they created in spite of or because of the illness and how the metaphor of disease helps or hinders our understanding of the mind and of our world. We will be looking at work by and about the mad, and our studies will include the history and politics of madness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FYS 101 16 4048 First-Year Seminar Lecture 3 Utopian Novels Class Dates: 08/28/2013 - 12/21/2013 Bldg: Jordan Hall Room: 303 Days: TuTh Time: 2:25pm - 3:40pm Instructor: Reeves,Carol A Class Enrl Cap: 18 Class Enrl Tot: 19 Class Wait Cap: 0 Class Wait Tot: 0 Class Min Enrl: 0 Utopian NovelsUtopian/Dystopian Visions and Political ThoughtThis Freshmen seminar will explore the question of what kind of society works best for human beings.
