Fulfills History & Tradition Sector This course will chart the history of the United States, from its colonial beginnings in the 17th century to its eventual implosion in the midst of civil war two centuries later. While we will examine the major turning points in the American past—the formation of plantation slavery, the stirrings of colonial revolution, territorial expansion and the rise of industrialization—the course is organized around a study of the promise and the shortcomings of American democracy. We will examine both the meaning and the practice of democracy, using primary documents to better understand how it has changed over the centuries. inTernaTional relaTionS InTr 290 920 Tr 9:00am–12:10pm Mcgann Topics in International Relations: Transnational Issues in Global Politics Fulfills Society Sector This course is designed to provide students who want to know more about the world they live in with an introduction to world politics and to acquaint them with some of the leading issues, theories, concepts, and processes that shape and define world events. It is expected that students taking the course will gain an ability to analyze, understand, objectively evaluate, and appreciate the complex dynamic that is global politics. In order to better understand other nations, their leaders, and their motivations, the readings and lectures in the first segment of this course will examine the traditional and contemporary approaches to studying world politics. Next, we will focus on the instruments of conflict and cooperation and the forces of integration and fragmentation in the world today. Finally, we will assess some of 32 SUMMER SESSIOn II • JULY 6–AUgUST 13, 2010 the major international issues of our time and assess the prospects for bringing peace and prosperity to a chaotic world. The overriding challenge in this introductory course is to appreciate international relations from different perspectives and to be open and adaptive as you develop this appreciation. There is rarely just one way of stating a problem, examining it, or working for its resolution. For this reason, we will use case studies to examine a series of international issues from a number of different vantage points: the international system, sovereign states and non-state actors. iTalian ITal 110 920 MTWr 6:00pm–8:30pm staff Elementary Italian I A first semester elementary language course for students who have never studied Italian or who have had very little exposure to the language. Students who have previously studied Italian are required to take the placement test. Class work emphasizes the development of the oral-aural skills, speaking and listening. Readings on topics in Italian culture as well as frequent writing practice are also included. Out-of-class homework requires work with the Internet, audio, and video materials. ITal 120 920 MTWr 6:00pm–8:30pm staff Elementary Italian II Continuation of Italian 110. laTin laTn 212 920 MTWrF 9:00am–12:15pm staff Intermediate Latin An introduction to the basic history and conventions of Latin prose and poetry, with continuous readings from classical authors accompanied by grammar review and exercises. Ideal for undergraduates or graduate students from Penn or elsewhere who have completed the equivalent of one year of Latin (e.g., LATN 112). The course covers the second year of college-level Latin, equivalent to LATN 203 and 204 at more than twice the normal pace. Note: Completion of this course fulfills the Penn language requirement. linGUiSTiCS lIng 102 920 MW 10:00am–1:10pm staff Introduction to Sociolinguistics Fulfills Quantitative Data Analysis Requirement, Society Sector Human language viewed from a social and historical perspective. Students will acquire the tools of linguistic analysis through interactive computer programs, covering phonetics, phonology and morphology, in English and other languages. These techniques will then be used to trace social differences in the use of language, and changing patterns of social stratification. The course will focus on linguistic changes in progress in American society, in both mainstream and minority communities, and the social problems associated with them. Students will engage in field projects to search for the social correlates of linguistic behavior, and use quantitative methods to analyze the results.

Fulfills Arts & Letters Sector, Cross Cultural Analysis Course, Cultural Diversity in the U.S. (Class of ’12 and after) This course examines how we as consumers in the “Western” world engage with musical difference largely through the products of the global entertainment industry. We examine music cultures in contact in a variety of ways—particularly as traditions in transformation. Students gain an understanding of traditional music as live, meaningful person-to-person music making, by examining the music in its original site of production, and then considering its transformation once it is removed, and re-contextualized in a variety of ways. The purpose of the course is to enable students to become informed and critical consumers of “World Music” by telling a series of stories about particular recordings made with, or using the music of, peoples culturally and geographically distant from the U.S. Students come to understand that not all music downloads containing music from unfamiliar places are the same, and that particular recordings may be embedded in intriguing and controversial narratives of production and consumption. At the very least, students should emerge from the class with a clear understanding that the production, distribution, and consumption of world music is rarely a neutral process.
