This course seeks to provide a historical, sociological, and cultural context to the phenomenon of terrorism as it is understood in today’s world. The course will explore the different meanings, over the last two or three centuries, that the words "terror," "terrorism," and "terrorist" have all carried. Students will explore the historical origins of terror as an idea or ideology, the different forms terrorism has taken, and representations of terrorists in literature, social thought, art, and film. This course does not provide a comprehensive history of terrorism. It does provide a historical and cultural context that may help us to understand what terrorism is, who terrorists are, and why the idea of terror dominates contemporary politics.

Particular attention is paid to the use of indices, databases and on-line services; the pursuit and critical evaluation of evidence; and a mastery of the essay form of scholarly writing.

Have you ever wondered whether you think or read differently, depending upon whether you grew up on books or the Internet? In this course, we’ll consider what's different about a story told on the page versus on a computer screen, with possibilities for multimedia interactions. To help us answer this question we begin with a consideration of fairy tales and their many variations, then move to an examination of 19th-century fiction and contemporary hypertext "re-visions." Along the way, you’ll have the chance to craft your own hypertext fairy tale and collaborate on a group hypertext project.
