AMST W3630: The American Graphic Novel
3.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
The course seeks to combine literary and historical approaches to investigate one of the most rapidly growing and increasingly influential genres of American popular (and, increasingly, critically recognized) literature: the graphic novel. A historical overview of the genre's development, along with analysis of relevant broader institutional and cultural factors illuminating the development of American media culture more generally, will be complemented by study of a series of works that illuminates artistic approaches taken within the genre to the classic themes of the American experience: politics, ethnicity, sexuality, and America's place in the broader world, among other themes. Authors read include Eisner, Crumb, Spiegelman, Bechdel, Sacco, Thompson, and Hernandez.

ANCS V3995: Senior Seminar In Ancient Studies
3.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
Required for all Ancient Studies majors, but also open to advanced undergraduates in classics, history, art history and archaeology, and other related disciplines. Topic: The Greek Household. This seminar explores the composition of the classical Greek household and the relationships of its members, examining the different factors affecting the position of an individual within his or her family and the degree to which a household was defined by the status, role and profession of its members. Although concentrating on classical Athens, we will pay attention to other states, notably Sparta. Investigation of general trends will be complemented by analysis of particular circumstances, including certain historical puzzles such as the union of Pericles and Aspasia (harlot-concubine or legal wife?) and that of Stephanos of Neaira (did they really break Athenian family law?).

ANHS W4177: Religion, Caste, and Culture: The Anthropological history of India
3.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
How did Western scholars/missionaries/anthropologists/colonial officials understand the strange world of India they found themselves in? The religion was unrecognizable by the terms of a Western understanding: it was not congregational, confessional, or recognizably scriptural. Culturally, Indian society was deeply hierarchical, divided by a system called "caste" which was both scriptural and not. Furthermore, religion and caste contributed centrally to the understanding of "culture" a term invoked interchangeably with "tradition." The divide between caste, religion, and culture, at the same time the difficulty of implementing that divide baffled Western scholars and missionaries of the late medieval period, but also later (19th century) colonial officials and anthropologists. Knowledge about India was centrally produced by these various gatherers and compilers of information on India, and in this course we begin with early accounts of missionary activities, and will work our way through the writings of political theorists, sociologists, anthropologists, in order to arrive at an understanding of the interdisciplinary and anthropological history of India.

ANHS W4855: Gender and Feminism in South Asia: An Anthropological History
4.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
"Feminist history" is a concept that encompasses a wide and rich range of histories of ideas, issues, movements, and contemporary controversies. In this seminar we will examine the history of feminist movements, anthropological descriptions of South Asian women's lives and cultures, political tracts on contemporary issues with older genealogies, and historical/anthropological monographs dealing with specific scandals associated with women's bodies, such as dowry murders, or honor killings. The seminar will progress thematically rather than geographically, and will address issues specific to the lives of women in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Beginning with the British colonial period in South Asia (1757-1947/8) it will address the impact of missionary and colonial policies associated with reform on the lives of women, moving onto the nationalist period, partition, and the post-nationalist milieu. The course is divided into four sections: Colonialism and law/property/education and reform; Nationalism, religion and identity ; Violence/Conflict and Minority Struggles; Globalization and its discontents. Field(s): SA
