The course is cross-listed with HIST3000 and ENGL3920.*** This travel-study explores the intersection of visual, literature, and material culture. Students taking this course will travel to England to visit siteswhich demonstrate the impact of literature, material culture and history on our daily lives. Students will discover how the way we see the world is shaped and help us answer the questions: What happened to make what we see so different from what it was in the historical and literary past? How did people imagine and understand the places they lived in, visited and read about before contemporary photographic and communication media existed?

These sections have been strategically structured to be offered in an online format.*** “Stateless Societies” attempts to answer the question: is another world possible? If so, how do we get there? This course takes a sociological and historical approach to study other possibilities for social organization. Most people today think of the world and its peoples in terms of nation-states and rarely consider how and why they have been conditioned to do so. Humans have not always lived in states and this course posits that at some point, we’ll need to look for alternative ways to arrange ourselves.

Apocalypticism in History, Literature and Media addresses a wide range of topics under the general rubric of Apocalypticism. Derived from the Greek word ποκάλυψις (apokálypsis), which meant a ‘revelation’ or ‘unveiling’, the name originally described a genre of literature that arose during Second Temple Judaism, and coalesced from Ancient Near East wisdom/dream and prophetic writings. The apocalyptic imagination has had a profound influence on world history from the second-century BCE to the present day. After a careful examination of what exactly defines this and related terminology (often misused or mis-appropriated), the course explores these ideas as manifested in various ways and through a variety of media, including: primary biblical, pseudepigraphal, and apocryphal source texts, other literary genres (poems, short-stories, chronicles, novels), visual art (painting, wood-cuts, tapestry, digital imagery), music, film, video games, and other contemporary phenomena. Throughout the course, students will be asked to relate notions of apocalypse that have arisen throughout history to a critical evaluation of current events and perspectives.
