Examines the reliance of Western systems of knowledge and representation on constructions of ancient and modern Greeks/Greece as violators of the laws of nature and history. The central hypothesis of the course is that such constructs have the deep structure of the vampire and zombie narratives. Students will explore the historical relationship between various modalities of Western (phil)Hellenism and the notion of the undead, as popularized by contemporary vampire and zombie narratives set in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, and track its presence in key cultural paradigms of the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Gothicism, Fascism, and Aryanism. Open to concentrators in Archaeology and the Ancient World, Classics, Comparative Literature, Ethnic Studies, French, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Political Science.

Explores traditional Chinese drama, which has always been a music theater, from the perspective of contemporary cultural theory, and in a comparative and interdisciplinary context. Analyzing classical plays in relation to their staging in today's regional operas, this course will first examine the dialectics of "prettiness and artistry" in traditional Chinese theater aesthetics and its implications in gender politics. It will then move on to investigate issues of cross-dressing and erotic desire in Chinese drama of the late imperial period in comparison with that of early modern England. Lastly, the ramifications of Chinese opera as a national imagination in modern cultural politics, as embodied in the playM. Butterfly,the film Farewell My Concubine,and the Beijing opera version ofTurandot, will be addressed.
