This course is a historical introduction to the concept of the sublime, or the ?awesome?. The sublime, a feeling of great exhilaration, excitement, or awe, is a positive aesthetic experience in response to a vast or powerful object, or one that appears vast or powerful. Traditional examples of sublime objects, or things that evoke the feeling, are waterfalls, icebergs, raging storms, deep ravines, mountains (Rockies, Alps, Himalayas), and perhaps some works of art (land art, film, poetry, fiction). As ?disinterested,? the experience of the sublime is not to be identified with fear; as an intense feeling or ?affect? (emotion), the sublime is to be distinguished from wonder and curiosity. Can the sublime be evoked by art and nature alike, or only one of these? How is it distinguished from beauty? How is it connected to, and different from, the ?moral feeling?? What causes it from a psychological or scientific point of view? We will examine the theory of the sublime from its roots in Longinus?s rhetorical theory, through the British and German traditions, concluding with the perspective of contemporary thinkers (Lyotard, Danto) and neuroscience. Students will read and respond to canonical ?sublime? texts (fiction, poetry), react to works of art (photos, film, etc.) associated with the sublime, and engage with texts from history of philosophy and rhetoric. The course will thus offer an opportunity to study basic ideas of logic (argumentation), rhetoric, and the relation between them. May be taken for English or Philosophy credit. It may be used to fulfill a General Education requirement or an Honors Program requirement under ""Rhetoric? or ?Dialectic.""

In the United States and throughout the world, debates and sometimes violent campaigns have focused on official narratives and commemorative depictions about the past that function to sustain existing norms of status and power. Who contributes to making these choices? Whose voice, and thus perspective, remains muted? How does this affect what stories about the past get told and how they get told? Why do these questions and the manner they get resolved matter? This course addresses a rich body of literature about collective memory, an emerging literature on cultural forgetting, and case studies relating to various current topics. Prerequisite: ENG101.

The Middle Ages describe the approximately thousand-year span in western culture between what is called Antiquity and Modernity. The fall of the old Roman Empire to Germanic invaders marks its beginning. The crisis in western culture due to the Renaissance and the religious turmoil of the sixteenth century marks its end. The intervening centuries gave rise to a rich culture that this course seeks to describe and have you experience in various ways. The experience will be mostly through the writings of some extraordinary medieval men and women. They are voices speaking to us from the past, inviting us into their world and sensitizing us to view, perhaps from new angles, features of our own world that seem to echo theirs. Besides literature, our course will utilize film and music to draw you into the spirit of the Middle Ages.
