COLT 1410Q: The Cinematic Mediterranean and Its Genealogies
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Explores the key role of the Mediterranean as a filming location, story setting, and overarching cultural metaphor in shaping cinema history. As Western civilization's archetypal "corrupting sea"--the marine theater of mortal danger and temptation--the Mediterranean also defined a number of cinematic genres, forms, and themes. We will review and analyze selected examples, from art films (Les dites caryatides) to multiplex blockbusters (V for Vendetta), and trace their pre-cinematic literary and philosophical genealogies. Not open to first year students.

COLT 1420A: The Tale of Genji and its Legacy
1.00 Credits
Brown University
The Tale of Genji (circa 1000 CE), authored by Murasaki Shikibu, a woman of the Heian court, has been canonized over the centuries as the greatest work of Japanese literature. No work in the Japanese tradition has exerted as much literary influence as this mammoth work of prose fiction detailing the private lives of Genji, the brilliant son of the emperor, those with whom he consorts, and his descendents. We will read Genji in its entirety, along with antecedent works, other texts of the period, works influenced by Murasaki's opus, other historical materials, and secondary commentary. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is open to all undergraduates.

In East Asian Buddhist culture, the mirror is a symbol of the mind in both its intellectual and emotional aspects. These masterworks detail the lives and loves of Prince Genji, cynosure of the medieval Japanese court, and Jia Baoyu, the last hope of an influential Chinese clan during the reign of Manchus. We examine both works as well as the sources of Genji and literary aesthetics of the Tang dynasty. Prerequisites: CO 71, RS 83 or 88, or permission of the instructor.
