How is an academic _eld de_ned? Are such divisions \natural" or do they reect cultural biases? How is knowledge generated and developed? This course will examine the ways in which the liberal arts intersect with, and shape, cultural formations. We will use the idea of art in general, and literature more speci_cally, as a lens to explore the nature of the liberal arts as a whole. We will read literary, aesthetic, cultural, and political theory in an attempt to answer for ourselves what a college education is for. What is higher education's role in a democratic society? How should it serve both individuals and society? This course should give you the background and the critical eye to question and to make use of your experiences at Cornell and beyond. Not open to students who have previously completed ENG 111. (Humanities, Writing Requirement) G. FREEMAN

In this engagement with _lm history, the class will screen and analyze an array of inuential silent _lms from the 1920s, from classics of early Soviet cinema and German Expressionism, to short _lms by the French avant-garde, to quirky British _lms and a brief glance at mainstream American _lm. However, the main adventure will be to explore a wealth of avant-garde _lms that have come out of the archives recently in dazzling restored collections: treasures of early American cinema and of the European avant-garde. We will study historical accounts of the 1920s in _lm history, including accounts of the London Film Society and early _lm critics, such as Iris Barry. The course will focus on _lm history, but will also introduce students to other areas of _lm studies through a _lm textbook that covers _lm analysis and theory. Prerequisite: writing-designated course (W). (Humanities) HANKINS

\Some have described Africa as the last frontier. I hesitate to use the term, for it may conjure the need for gung ho horsemen, ready to lasso it to order. However, it accurately describes the knowledge divide, which separates the developed world from the developing, and is most manifested in the digital divide. Only education can narrow this divide. Education on the Continent. . . and education about the continent. . ." His Excellency Dr. Richard Sezibera, Ambassador of The Republic of Rwanda Dr. Sezibera's words call on those of us in the developing world to cross that divide. This course provides us with the opportunity to begin to understand southern Africa through its literature, art, and theater. In South Africa and Namibia, we will read contemporary southern African literature, meet its writers, and visit museums and galleries. We'll have the chance to do homestays in Soweto, South Africa, and study with university students in Windhoek, Namibia. We'll ask questions: what does it mean to be a writer or an artist in countries still dealing with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism? what role do the arts play in building a new nation and new national identity? and how do these art forms speak to us? Occasionally we'll play tourist, taking a moment to visit the Cape of Good Hope (stopping to visit the penguins in Simon's Town) in South Africa and a tour of Etosha Game Reserve in Namibia. Course entails additional costs. For more information, contact Shannon Reed. Prerequisites: writing-designated course (W) and sophomore standing. (Humanities) REED
