In 1910 Russian Symbolism, the dominant literary trend of its day, underwent a very public crisis, eventually resulting in the rise of two rival movements, Acmeism and Futurism, which dominated the Russian literary scene into the 1920s. We survey late symbolist writing and read as much as possible by the Acmeists and Futurists, contextualizing the readings in broader cultural history, particularly developments in the visual arts. We also use the three movements as an example of literary history. Winter.

In this course, the Polish perspective is juxtaposed to that of Polish Jewry. Our investigation of the search for adequate means of representing and conceptualizing the Holocaust ranges from the poetics of absence to testimonial accounts and traumatic memorization. Cinematic, literary, and pictorial representations of the Holocaust run from Borowski's real life experience in Auschwitz through Grynberg' s sense of mission as a survivor t o Polanski ? filmic vision seemingly unrelated to his own survival. We also reconstruct the realities of the Holocaust against the post-Holocaust mechanics of idealization and aesthetization, trace the emergence of the new approach to the "other," and read recent theories (e.g., Agamben, Rothbe rg).

This course provides an introduction to the philosophy and practice of social research. Working from the idea that the research process is fundamentally a critical dialogue, we begin by exploring questions of causality and the epistemology of social research. Then we turn to examine the basic practices that are a component of all methods of social research through an in-depth examination of interviews, ethnography, surveys, and archival research. Students spend the quarter working on a series of assignments that culminates in a research proposal for their BA thesis. R. Lancaster. Winter.

The central objective of this course is to introduce the sociological study of individuals in the society. We study how individual actions are shaped by their relation to and position in the social structure while contributing to this structure and its change. A central preoccupation is to articulate the linkage between the individual/micro level and the social/macro level. We also discuss the properties of a stratified social fabric. We focus on sociological approaches to the American society, its position in the international structure, and its principal dimensions (i.e., race and ethnicity, age, gender, social class). J. Evans. Winter.
