COLT 0610B: Middle East Performance
1.00 Credits
Brown University
This course examines traditional performances of the Arabic-speaking populations of the Middle East and North Africa: the history of ways in which the West has discovered, translated, and written about the Orient; how performance, verbal art, and oral literature lend themselves to spontaneous adaptation and to oblique expression of ideas and opinions whose utterance would otherwise be censorable or disruptive; and the way traditional performance practices are affected by and respond to the consequences of modernization.

COLT 0610C: Banned Books
1.00 Credits
Brown University
An examination of literary censorship in which we read various texts forbidden for putatively violating social, religious, and political norms in particular historical and cultural contexts. We also analyze the secondary literature surrounding the banning of these ostensibly "dangerous" texts in order to theorize questions and assumptions about the power of art and the ironies generated by these debates.

COLT 0610D: Rites of Passage
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Examines a seemingly universal theme-coming of age-by focusing on texts from disparate periods and cultures. Proposes that notions of "growing up" are profoundly inflected by issues of class, gender and race, and that the literary representation of these matters changes drastically over time. Texts from the Middle Ages to the present; authors drawn from Chrétien de Troyes, Quevedo, Prévost, Balzac, Brontë, Twain, Faulkner, Vesaas, Rhys, Satrapi and Foer. Enrollment limited to 20 first year students. FYS

COLT 0610I: Introduction to Cultural Studies
1.00 Credits
Brown University
We live in a cultural saturated with information. The messages we register, the meanings we deduce, and the knowledge upon which we ground our actions and choices require critical examination if we are to engage as thoughtful actors in our personal and civic lives. This class will encourage students to reflect on their initial impressions of and reactions to various media and will give them critical tools to examine how formal and thematic strategies work to shape and elicit our sympathies, our desires, our fears, and our beliefs. Focusing primarily on visual and written texts drawn from popular culture--video, print, film, and Web sources--students will practice their analytical skills by evaluating these texts in classroom discussions, several short writing assignments, and one longer essay. Reading the work of several cultural theorists, students will learn to analyze persuasive argumentation through an attention to rhetorical and framing devices and to recognize and decipher visual cues, enabling them to interpret texts and images and to produce coherent critical positions of their own. This class will prepare participants for college courses that require them to process knowledge and not simply acquire information.
