Individuals with chronic illness suffer a double burden: they must cope with disabling disorders and also contend with the stigmas affiliated with those disorders. The radical subjectivity of pain destroys language, the primary tool necessary in self-care and in combating the propagation by the media and medical community of socially-constructed myths and interpretations of chronic illness and pain. Ironically, through the metaphors and symbols of creative acts the voices of the ill are heard in new ways. A new language is evolving that can provide insight into the Culture of Illness and Pain. 3 CREDIT S PREREQUISITES: 46-1100 INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL STUDIES, 52-1152 WRITING AND RHETORIC II

This advanced Cultural Studies seminar and history course explores how taste developed as an important category of national, gender, and class identity in France from ca. 1650- 1900. France, and especially French women, remain closely associated in the public mind with good taste. This is due to a long historical development in which the state and social groups struggled to define French taste against a background of dramatic economic, political, and cultural change. The challenging course provides historical insight to help understand modern classed and gendered consumption regimes and is designed for highly motivated students. It is strongly recommended that students taking this course have taken at least two prior courses in European history, Women's and Gender studies, or Cultural Studies; ideally, at least two of these different subject areas will have been studied. At least one such course is a prerequisite for registration for all students. 3 CREDIT S

Cities are ever-changing spaces that are defined and re-defined through our experiences, memories and cultural practices. For some, they are merely places for work, leisure and commerce, but for others, they are something far greater: landscapes to traverse, sources of identity, canvases, homes, and political battlegrounds. In this course, we will look at the different ways people have both theorized, and actively contested, the meaning and function of cities. We will explore the utopia/dystopia of the city through the eyes of avant-garde artists, political activists, skateboarders, graffiti artists, bicyclists, walkers, drivers, squatters, culture jammers, community organizers and the urban poor. 3 CREDIT S PREREQUISITES: 46-1100 INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL STUDIES, 52-1152 WRITING AND RHETORIC II
