FRSEMR 32s: The Twilight of the Gods: Ragnarok and the Apocalyptic Tradition
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Norse mythology culminates apocalyptically, with giants, fire-demons and various monsters destroying Odin, Thor and the other gods, a battle from which a peaceful new world emerges. This seminar situates this Viking Age eschatological vision against both specific historical data (e.g., the 6th-c. climate crisis) and the comparanda of world mythologies (e.g., the Armageddon of the Abrahamic religions) and investigates how it is employed in such modern contexts as opera, Viking metal, art, literature and politics.

FRSEMR 32v: The Art of Storytelling
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
People everywhere tell stories to express both the verities and contradictions found in experiences of everyday life. Based on storytelling traditions, a narrator shapes the story to reflect his or her own intentions, making it personally expressive as well as publicly meaningful to a particular audience. This seminar examines the nature of storytelling, its enduring appeal, and its ability to adapt to multiple technologies (print, film, internet). Participants engage in the storytelling process itself.

FRSEMR 32z: How to Be a Courtier in the Age of Louis 14
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
By considering the image of the courtier at the Sun King's court, this course has three related purposes. Firstly, students read a range of various texts (mostly drama, memoirs, letters, novels) within their political and cultural context (theorists of manner, paintings, royal control over arts). Secondly, they view videos of performances and historical movies in order to question our "modern" vision of the "classical" century. Finally, they experience theater as form of physical and vocal expression through two performance-oriented presentations.

FRSEMR 33s: Narrative Before the Novel
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Before the novel was the romance, a genre responsible for some of the West's most powerful imaginings, from the story of King Arthur to chivalry and courtly love. This course considers the place of romance in fashioning ideas of selfhood, sexuality, society, and secular ethics in medieval Europe ; in offering pleasure and release to pre-modern readers; and in shaping the crucial modern notion of "fiction," the powerful written description of non-existent events and people.

FRSEMR 33v: Buddhist Visualization in a Chinese Cave: Body, Time, and Cosmos
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
The seminar is an introduction to Buddhism and art history by focusing on a fifth-century Chinese cave. The images therein show episodes from the Buddha's past and present lives (his bodily sacrifices and demon-subjugation, etc.), which involve key concepts of Buddhism, including body, time, and cosmos. Poor visibility in the cave calls for inquiries into modes of cognition and religious functions. The interdisciplinary study explores issues of art, religion, anthropology, and cognitive psychology.

FRSEMR 33w: Moving Pictures: Pictorial Narrative in Japan
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Dynamic forms of visual storytelling abound in Japan, from twelfth-century narrative scrolls, to twentieth-century manga, to contemporary anime. This seminar examines the fundamentals of Japanese pictorial narrative by analyzing formal characteristics of both images (composition, framing, line, color), and narrative texts (plot, temporality, character) and how these elements interact to generate meaning. Students will create their own illustrated scrolls, manga, and storyboards to understand the potential and limitations of visual narrative.

FRSEMR 33x: Complexity in Works of Art: Ulysses and Hamlet
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Do inherited forms found in literature permit only certain variations within experience to reach lucidity? Investigates literature's limits in giving account of mind, everyday experience, thought, memory, full character, and situation in time. Studies Shakespeare's Hamlet and Joyce's Ulysses, a modern work of unusual complexity and resistance to both interpretation and to simple comfortable reading. Reading these two works suggests potential meanings for terms like complexity, resistance, openness of meaning, and experimentation within form.
