  • ARTS 499: Senior Project: Seminar

    1.00 Credits
    Georgetown University

    The Senior Project seminar is a three-credit course offered in the fall semester as a requirement for graduating majors in studio art. This course, co-taught by an artist and an art historian, is designed to help prepare you to enter the professional art world. Professor Bowling: Are there ever really any new ideas? As artists you stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is important to be well versed in contemporary art history. Tuesday mornings this semester you will hear art historical lectures covering works dated just after WWII, continuing up to the present day. The second half of our class will be active and lively discussion based on the assigned reading. To complement our lectures, we will visit several area museums with contemporary art collections. It is my hope that after this class, when someone refers to something as "reminiscent of Jasper Johns" or "suggestive of Fried's notion of objecthood" you don't have to panic and try to pretend you know what that means, but instead dazzle with your informed response! Professor Kehoss: Art can be a career. This semester, you will acquire the skills needed to begin. Whether your goal is to attend graduate school, become a full time studio artist, or pursue your art part time, this class will help you negotiate the practical side of being an artist. Workshops, discussions, demonstrations, slide presentations, and guest lectures will comprise our Thursday meetings. Prerequisite:    senior studio art majors only

  • ASST 501: South Asia: Issues of War and Peace

    3.00 Credits
    Georgetown University

    (In previous academic years, this course has been listed as INAF 565.) South Asia has changed and so have the issues of war and peace there. The region faces many new challenges to peace such as religious extremism, terrorism, dangers of nuclear proliferation, narcotics, unending Afghanistan war, and enhanced potential for regional instability. Yet the weight of the past oppresses the present. The course aims to study both the past and the present issues of war and peace in South Asia. Old conflicts lurk in the background overlapping with the new ones in the region. Kashmir issue remains unresolved keeping ever present the danger of war between India and Pakistan which could conceivably turn nuclear specially as the two countries have still not settled on stable nuclear doctrines and concepts of deterrence. And the historical tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan live on. Efforts by India and Pakistan to normalize their bilateral relations are ever threatened by acts of terrorism in India by sub state actors from across the border like the one in Mumbai in 2008. As for Pakistan, its traditional security concerns relating to Afghanistan and India have merged, raising a fear of encirclement. And they have come to intersect with rising anti Americanism. Pakistan and India seem to be engaged in some version of the ancient "great game" in Afghanistan complicating the country's stabilization and also the international community's efforts to fight forces of extremism and terrorism specially Al Qaeda. The fact is India cannot rise under threat of possible destabilization by Pakistan, and Pakistan cannot become a normal state without normal relations with India. And all that cannot happen without stabilizing Afghanistan. Peace has thus become indivisible and also a strategic imperative for South Asia. The course will focus on this whole range of dangers South Asia faces and presents and potential causes for conflict and war as well as study the prospects for peace, the need as well as compulsions for which have never been greater. Globalization and rise of China and India and opening up of Central Asia offer new economic opportunities to the people of the region and the outside world through possible projects like gas pipelines, transit trade and much talked about New Silk Road. What will be the consequences of economic, political, and cultural globalization not only for India and Pakistan but also for smaller states of South Asia specially in their search for stability, development and democracy? The instructor is a former Ambassador of Pakistan who will bring to the teaching of this course his insights and expertise as a long time policy practitioner and his experience as an academic. The course will blend theoretical approach with elements of practical diplomacy.

  • ASST 502: War and Peace in Asia

    3.00 Credits
    Georgetown University

    This course focuses on the historical contexts of conflicts and resolutions in East Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries. Focusing primarily on China, Japan, and Korea, weekly readings will examine the many ways in which war-and the discourse about war-shaped those nations' identities. The connections among militarism, nationalism, and society will be explored in a number of ways: through state-building enterprises, emerging social and cultural practices and values, everyday life during wartime and peace; and collective memorializations. Course materials include literary works, historical writings, and other cultural forms, such as art and film.

  • ASST 503: Political Legitimacy in SE Asia

    3.00 Credits
    Georgetown University

    The purpose of this interdisciplinary course is to attempt to explain the complex forces that affect the ability of individuals and institutions in Southeast and East Asia to guide the internal operations of states and interaction with other states in accordance with internal or international norms and expectations. It will analyze the present drawing upon history in the region, and attempt to delineate forces that will affect the future. The course will examine some relevant theoretical literature on legitimacy, varying historical patterns of classical and modern legitimacy in the area, nationalism and legitimacy, questions of identity based on ethnicity/ language/religion related to legitimacy, and then explore how states/individuals have used these concepts for their acceptance and governance. The course will be open to graduate students and will meet once weekly for approximately two hours, and, depending on the number of students, be conducted in the manner of a seminar. Students will be expected to write a term paper on one country or topic approved by the instructor, and make a class presentation on the progress toward that paper.
