Online course fee: $60. Men and boys in same-sex relationships in Ancient Greece; prostitutes and actors in Imperial Rome; love potions in Hellenistic Egypt; adulterers in medieval England; young betrothed couples in Renaissance Italy; accused witches in Reformation Germany—historians of sexuality developed their understanding of sexuality in Premodern Europe through these examples. In this research seminar, we will discover how these historians deciphered primary sources, including course cases, literature, art, religious texts, and popular media, to address the following questions: Are sexual identities constructed by different cultures, rather than simply being determined biologically? What influence do social, economic, and political conditions have on societies’ definition of sexual roles? How have these societies used sexual norms to mark “natural” practices from “deviant” ones, and how are these norms connected to societies’ power structures? This class fulfills the major’s historical research requirement; students will write a 20–25 page research paper based on their critical analysis of primary sources in translation, and will be led through this process by sequenced writing assignments. hIsT 205 910 MW 9:00am–12:00pm Fabella Indians, Pirates, Slaves and Wenches: Unofficial Histories of the Colonial Caribbean This major seminar surveys the history of the colonial Caribbean, not from the perspective of European colonizing powers but rather from “below.” Beginning with European-indigenous contact in the fifteenth century, and ending with the massive slave revolt that became the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), this course will focus on the different ways in which indigenous, African, and European men and women experienced European colonization in the Caribbean, as agents, victims and resistors of imperial projects. hIsT 442 910 MW 6:00pm–9:10pm Pearson America in the Era of the Revolution, 1763–1800 As a number of historians have observed, the American Revolution now may seem to have been the inevitable culmination of political, economic, and cultural changes underway in the 18th century. But for many whose lives were altered by its disruptive contours, it was 20 SUMMER SESSIOn I • MAY 24–JULY 2, 2010 more improbable than inevitable. How, then, are we to make sense of the Revolution? What were its causes? Its progress? Its extended “settlement,” or period of resolution and questions? During the course of the semester, we will need to keep our eyes open to changes afoot in many social fields: the ascendancy or democratic and egalitarian thought; the widespread development of consumerism and market capitalism; the linked forms processes of rebellion and nation-building; and the economic and strategic progress of the conflict itself. inTernaTional relaTionS InTr 290 910 Tr 9:00am–12:10pm Mcann Global Think Tanks, Policy Networks, and Governance Fulfills Society Sector The course will explore how transnational issues are identified and addressed around the world by policy, advocacy and knowledge based institutions. Special attention will be paid to policy research organizations (e.g., think tanks, government research, and policy planning units) that generate and disseminate policy research, analyses and recommendations. A selection of enduring and emerging global policy issues will be examined to demonstrate how policy issues take shape and are addressed by governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. Course will feature prominent policymakers from around the world who will comment on selected, global policy issues and debates. iTalian ITal 110 910 MTWr 6:00pm–8:30pm staff Elementary Italian I For students who have never studied Italian or who have had very little exposure to the language. Students who have already studied Italian are required to take the placement test. Class work emphasizes the development of speaking and listening comprehension, reinforced by work in reading and writing. Course includes an introduction to aspects of Italian culture. Out-of-class homework requires work with the Internet, audio and video materials. laTin laTn 112 910 MTWrF 9:00am–12:15pm staff Intensive Elementary Latin (2 CU) An introduction to the Latin language for beginners, with explanation of basic grammatical concepts and intensive exercises in reading and writing. Ideal for undergraduates or graduate students from Penn or elsewhere with some background in learning other languages, or who need to learn Latin rapidly. The course covers the first year of college-level Latin, equivalent to LATN 101 and 102 at more than twice the normal pace. linGUiSTiCS lIng 001 910 Tr 9:50am–1:00pm staff Introduction to Linguistics Fulfills Natural Science & Math Sector A general introduction to the scientific study of language structure, history, and use.
