Song This seminar will focus on one of the most important topics of modern Chinese culture: the urban imagination. Analyzing how metropolis and urban life are represented and imagined is central to an understanding of the differently articulated forms Chinese modernity has taken throughout the twentieth century. We will examine the literary and visual representations of the city in modern China through close analys-es of the novels, short stories, films, photographs, and paintings that illuminate Chinese urbanism. Cultural manifestations of such Chinese metropolises as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taipei will be extensively discussed. Prerequisites: One course at the 200 or 300 level in East Asian Languages and Literatures, East Asian Arts, History, Philosophy, or Religion. Distribution: Language and Literature or Arts, Music, Theatre, Film, Video Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0

Gilhuly (Classical Studies) Plato's Symposium provides one window into the culture of dining in antiquity, revealing how people gathered in ancient Greece to enter-tain and be entertained, to perform music and exchange ideas, to form political ties, and to share food and drink as well as other bodily pleasures. Written texts have provided a primary source of evidence for scholars investigating the social relationships and cultural symbols of ancient Greece and Rome. In this course, we will consider literary materials together with visual and archeological materials to under-stand these cultures. Writing assignments will ask students to assess and make arguments, based on the cultural records, about how these cultures expressed themselves through the distribution of food at the symposium in ancient Greece and the cena in Rome. This course satisfies the WRIT 125 requirement and counts as a unit toward the Classical Studies major. Includes a third session each week. Prerequisite: None Distribution: Language and Literature Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

Burns The Periclean Parthenon with its polished white and perfectly arranged marble columns is the perfect symbol of ancient Athens' identity as a city of democracy and philosophy, while the Roman Colosseum reverberating still with the distant echoes of gladiatorial combat embo-dies the military greatness with which we associate classical Rome. These iconic monuments have come to define the way we think about ancient Athens and Rome, and this course will explore how a city's built environment reflects and even articulates its place in the world. Students will study these primary centers of the classical Mediterranean as they developed from humble beginnings to imperial capitals by contrast with other ancient cities studied through group research projects . This course may be taken as either 200 or, with additional as-signments, 300 . Prerequisite: 200 open to all students; 300 by permission of instructor. Distribution: Historical Studies Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0
