From Michelangelo to media culture, this course introduces the visual cultures of Europe, Africa, and the Americas, beginning with the Renaissance, using key issues and monuments as the focus of discussion. Students in this section of ARTH 101 will attend the same twice-weekly lectures as the other ARTH 101 students, but their assignments will be different, and they will attend two special Writing 125 conferences each week.

Berman (Art) Photography is so much a part of our private and public lives, and it plays such an influential role in our environment, that we often forget to examine its aesthetics, meanings, and histories. This course provides an introduction to these analyses by examining the history of pho-tography from the 1830s to the present. Considering fine arts and mass media practices, the class will examine the works of individual practitioners as well as the emergence of technologies, aesthetic directions, markets, and meanings. Normally offered in alternate years Students may register for either CAMS 207 or ARTH 226 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: None. ARTH 100 and 101 strongly recommended.

Carroll (Art) Topic for 2009-10: The Melodramatic Tradition from D.W. Griffith to Wong Kar-Wai. The focus of this course will be a series of films that take as their theme the disruptive tensions-between the sexes and between generations-that emerge with shattering force in see-mingly ordinary domestic settings. After briefly considering the pictorial roots of this tradition in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century paint-ing, the class will turn to films directed by D.W. Griffith, G.W. Pabst, Marcel Ophuls, Douglas Sirk, Todd Haynes, and Wong Kar-Wai. The class will explore the extensive critical and theoretical literature that is devoted to these films; at the same time we will pay scrupulous at-tention to their visual qualities through the close analysis of mise-en-scène, lighting, camera-work, and editin g. Students may register for either CAMS 343 or ARTH 333 and credit will be granted accordingl y. Prerequisite: ARTH 101, or 224 or 226/CAMS 207, or permission of the instructor. Distribution: Arts, Music, Theatre, Film, Video Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. One of the most visited tourist attractions in the world, subject of thousands of books and articles, adored by millions, yet reviled by many intellectuals, Disneyland has occupied a prominent place in American culture since it opened in 1955. This seminar will examine Disneyland as an expression of middle-class American values, as a locus of corporatism and consumerism, as a postmodern venue, as a utopia, and as an influence upon architecture and urban design. In a broader sense, we will use Disney to explore the ideals, the desires, and the anxieties that have shaped post-World War II American culture. Students may register for either AMST 317 or ARTH 340 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Enrollment is limited and preference is given to Art and American Studies majors. Distribution: Arts, Music, Theatre, Film, Video or Historical Studies Semester: N/O Unit: 1.0
