J. Carter This seminar investigates a dimension of human self-consciousness that has been addressed by means of the English word faith. Specifically, this seminar considers what leading authors have meant by the term faith and whether the notion communicated by this term might represent a generic category for understanding human religious history and our religiously plural world today. The seminar recognizes that faith is a word having been informed by the Western (European) intellectual heritage. It inquires whether faith might be global in its applicability: how, and to what extent. Consequently, the starting point for consideration is Christian, and an attempt is made to see whether a sense of faith might be extrapolated to indicate a core dimension of religiousness found in the major religious traditions of the world. Students are expected to have completed some study of at least two religious traditions, normally determined by successfully completing at least two courses offered in the department, each dealing with a different religious tradition or heritage, prior to enrolling in the seminar.

M. Salazkina, Staff This interdisciplinary course introduces the history and theory of Russian cinema and features a selection of the most influential Russian and Soviet films of the 20th century. Beginning with the Great Silents (Evgenii Bauer, Sergei Eisenstein), the course explores constructivist montage and Socialist realism, concluding with the post-modern consciousness of Andrei Tarkovsky and Aleksandr Sokurov. Students screen one or two films each week and study them in depth. They discuss cinema in relation to literature, performance, and visual art, and learn how film language was developed. Films are discussed in a broad cultural, social, and aesthetic context, with a focus on the ways in which the images have been used as carriers of cultural value and ideological meaning. Emphasis is placed on such issues as art, propaganda, and the power of "spectacle" in contemporary society. All films have English subtitles. A FLAC section of the course may be offered for advanced Russian language students with a primary emphasis on the development of advanced language skills.
