  • AMST 13184: History University Seminar

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    An introduction to the seminar method of instruction that explores the major methodologies of the historical discipline, and which accents the organization and expression of arguments suggested by readings in historical topics. The Spring 2010 section will center on Canonization, the process by which the Roman Catholic Church recognizes people who have lived lives of "heroic virtue," offering a useful interpretive tool for understanding the past. Presently there are eight American Catholics officially recognized as saints, and about twenty others at various points on the road to canonization. Like all saints, they became popular in certain contexts. In this course we will not only explore the saints as historical figures, but also examine who promoted them, when, and why, focusing on what the canonization of each has revealed about the shifting relationship between Catholicism and American culture. We will also consider a number of "unofficial" American saints, people whose causes have not been recognized by Rome but who have nonetheless attracted significant devotees in the United States. Ranging from Kateri Tekakwitha, a 17th-century Mohawk convert, to Father Mychal Judge, a Franciscan firefighter killed at Ground Zero, our cast of characters includes saints and sinners, martyrs and missionaries, patriot priests and unruly women. We will view these American saints through a number of lenses: immigration, race, gender, sexuality, commercialization, and nationalism.

  • AMST 13186: Literature University Seminar

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This University Seminar introduces students to university-level critical thinking and reading skills and will explore the intersections of race, literature, and popular culture in the United States. While it is a notoriously difficult concept to define, "race" is undoubtedly a powerful force in American life. Focusing on the late nineteenth century to the present, this course examines the ways in which racial ideas are formed, negotiated, and resisted in the arenas of American literature and popular culture. From the story of racial confusion in Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) to Eminem's portrayal of a white rapper trying to make it in contemporary Detroit, this course will ask how popular culture actively shapes - rather than merely reflects -American ideas about race and ethnicity. By closely engaging with a diverse set of theoretical, historical, and primary texts, students will learn to approach and analyze popular culture with a critical eye.

  • AMST 20100: Introduction to American Studies

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course introduces the interdisciplinary field of American Studies, emphasizing key texts and methods for critically understanding what "America" means (and to whom), and what it means to be American. How have ideas about race, gender, religion, sexuality, ethnicity, and class shaped the making and meaning of America and Americans? What are the dominant myths and values that Americans seem to share? What is the American Dream? In particular, this class considers the ways in which concepts of America and American are performed: how notions of citizenship and national identity are constructed through particular acts and actions, from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to watching football, going shopping, marching on Washington, and touring America's National Parks.

  • AMST 30101: Homefronts During War

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    How have Americans responded at home to war and threats of war throughout the 20th century and into the 21st? What internal divisions and shared identities has war inspired or revealed? We will examine not the battles and factors that determined the military outcomes, but the domestic struggles that have defined our national experience and informed many of our responses to current events. Topics will include critiques of democracy and civil rights inclusion during WWI; treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII; development of peace movements and antinuclear movements; cold war politics and fears of American communism; and debates over the draft, just-war, racism at home, and U.S. policies abroad in the wake of Vietnam. The final unit will focus on the Gulf War, terrorism, and developments since September 11, 2001.
