Hum 203C: Early Political Thought: Text and Tradition
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
A selected survey of the political and moral thought of Europe from the rise of Athenian democracy to the Renaissance, with emphasis on analysis and discussion of writers such as Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Castiglione, and Machiavelli. The course aims to introduce students to basic texts in the intellectual history of Western Europe, understood both as products of a particular time and place and as self-contained arguments that strive to instruct and persuade. The texts are simultaneously used to chart the careers of such fundamental notions as liberty, virtue, and justice. Preference given to Text and Tradition and IPH students.

Hum 204: Darwin and the Modern Ache
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
D.H. Lawrence reminds us how exciting and instructive it can be to watch the way our fictions take in a new cultural idea as important as Darwinism; as the theory shocks our defenseless bodies, our literature reacts with fresh forms and consciousness that enable us to feel the wound of moral, metaphysical, psychological, biological insecurity and humiliation without becoming merely helpless readers and carriers of our pain. We still feel longings for a creation by design in a post-Darwinian world shaped by thinkers most responsive to evolutionary theory, Nietzsche, Freud, Marx. This semester we study some modern texts most sensitive and susceptible to what Hardy calls the "modern ache" of Darwin's thought, of Ibsen, Hardy, Conrad, Strindberg, Kafka, D.H. Lawrence, and Robert Frost. Preference given to Text and Tradition and IPH students.

Hum 205C: Literary Modernities: Text and Tradition
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Through a wide sampling of Western literary works, the course explores themes and tones characteristic of the rise of modern consciousness from the Renaissance forward: we trace debates on aesthetics, the transformation of autobiography, writers' persistent distrust of books, and their relentless assaults on perversions of cultural idealism. Books by such authors as Cervantes, Diderot, Rousseau, Goethe, Balzac, Dostoevsky, Twain, Freud, Kafka, and Beckett. Preference given to Text and Tradition and IPH students.

Hum 207C: Modern Political Thought: Text and Tradition
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
A course in European history and thought since 1600 that addresses two themes: the search for a moral code, and the legitimate role of the state. Both are ancient inquiries, but they acquired important and novel interpretations in the West after the Reformation and the gunpowder revolution, and the rise of the modern statecraft grounded in both. One uniquely Western approach to these questions was the search for the primitive or "natural" situation of mankind, and readings in this genre provide some of the texts for the course. Parallel to presentation of the political history of modern Europe, such writers may be discussed as Locke from the 17th century, Montesquieu and Rousseau from the 18th, Marx and Darwin from the 19th, and the writings of anthropologists and philosophers from the 20th. Preference given to Text and Tradition and IPH students.

Hum 209: Scriptures and Cultural Traditions
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Certain books, "sacred scriptures," have shaped human culture in powerful and complex ways. Religious communities believe that Scriptures are ancient texts that are ever-flowing sources of timeless truths. We do close readings of crucial Scriptural texts and explore how they are interpreted and why they have had such a profound impact on human communities, in social organization and the behavior of individuals; in literature, art, and politics. This year the course focuses on the canonical texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Preference given to Text and Tradition and IPH students.

Hum 211A: Digital Humanities: Information Representation, Analysis, and Modeling
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
It is a truism that computers have changed our lives and the way we think, but in fact systematic efforts to apply current technologies to the thinking about history and culture have been rare. This course enables students to consider how these technologies might transform the humanities. Students explore the various ways that ideas and data in the humanities can be represented, analyzed, and communicated. Topics include forms of information; modeling and simulation; geospatial (GIS) and temporal representations of data; and ways of creating and using audio and visual information. Readings and class work are supplemented by small assigned digital projects culminating in a project chosen by the students themselves. Students should be comfortable with using the Internet and a word processor. No other special computing skills are required.

Hum 214: Text and Tradition: Cross-Currents I
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course revisits the cultural and intellectual terrain of Classical to Renaissance Literature (Hum 201) and Early Political Thought (Hum 203), purposefully mixing a different set of texts of very different kinds. We delve closely into how works belonging to the same cultural moment but different genres can reflect upon one another, and we address how works issuing from different periods can speak to one another. Along the way we work on refining our talents as close readers and careful writers, and we think carefully about the critic's role in creating canons and inventing intertextual dialogues. Authors studied include Aristophanes, Euripides, Plato, Seneca, Boethius, Dante, and Petrarch.
