-
3.00 Credits
A general introduction to fiction, plays, and films from Asia and the Near East. Each text is introduced by a faculty specialist in that language and culture, but most of our time is devoted to discussions of the texts. Our purpose is to explore ways that the study of literature and performance can illuminate cultures in general and several non-European cultures more specifically. And through comparisons between samples from any one culture and between our several cultures, we examine the richness of the traditions and the modern experience of writing and cinematic art from areas such as Egypt, Israel, Iran, India, China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong), Korea, and Japan. No prerequisites; all interested students are welcome. All readings available in English translation; all films are subtitled.

This course is for incoming freshmen in the January Program only. This seminar introduces students to St. Louis through exploration of various facets of city life. The course also introduces different ways of asking questions about and interpreting urban issues (from history, anthropology, architecture, political science, and economics). We consider how we might "engage" the city as students, researchers, and citizens. The course includes lectures, discussion, readings, field trips, and visits with public figures and local experts. Topics include history, identity, education, popular culture, religion, immigration, sports, urban and regional development, and city-region politics.

The purpose of this class is to engage and challenge freshman students in an open discussion about the prehistoric Mississippian community of Cahokia. The focus of this course is two-fold. The first is to study the way in which the archaeological evidence has been interpreted. The second is to examine other perspectives on Cahokia, especially from the Native American descendants who consecrated this landscape nearly a millennium ago. An underlying tenet of this seminar in understanding Cahokia also can be achieved through the traditions and literature of Native Americans. In the end we want to understand the basis for Cahokia's organization as a prehistoric Native American community, and the role that ritual and religion played in the rather dramatic and dynamic history of this community and the surrounding region.
