| 3 hours Discovery course. Topic Section Q: Lynch and Cronenberg: Two Davids Versus the Hollywood Goliath. A fish in a coffeepot, a naked woman on a suburban lawn, an old man riding a lawn tractor: welcome to the world of David Lynch, where the line between dreams and reality is not always easy to find. Mutant children, a killer videotape, a human fly, twin gynecologists, virtual realities, madness, hidden identities, and Russian gangsters are likewise found in the films of David Cronenberg. These two Davids do their unconventional work on the margins of the mainstream American film industry we call simply "Hollywood." The films these men make, and how they make them will be the focus of our work in this course. Since these directors are so skilled at training us to see, previous experience in film analysis is not required as a prerequisite for enrollment. Section Q is a First year Discovery Program course. Rergistration restricted to freshman. Students should only enroll in one Discovery course. |

| 3 hours Discovery course. Topic Section X: Modern Medievalisms: Approaching and Appropriating the Middle Ages. The purpose of this course is twofold: to introduce students to a range of medieval literature and to examine its legacy in the modern era. Since the 19th century, literature tends to use a fetishized notion of "the medieval" as a foil for "the modern", invoking it either as a Golden Age which critiques the problems of the present, or a pre-Enlightenment epoch of superstition and ignorance. The discourse of medievalism is a booming subfield within medieval studies, and it offers students the opportunity to look critically not only at a range of literature from distant historical periods, but also at the ways in which the present represents, misrepresents, and appropriates those images, empties them of their contextual meanings, and redeploys them within distinctly modern agendas. Students will study both medieval literature itself and modern representations of the Middle Ages in an attempt to understand the complex means by which the present approaches the past. They will engage critically with theories of subjectivity, nationhood, translation, gender, historicism, temporality, and aesthetics. In the process, they will discover how modern notions of empire, progress, belief, revolution, pacifism, and novelty inform modern attempts to represent - or appropriate - the medieval. Section X is a First year Discovery Program course. Registration restricted to freshman. Students should only enroll in one Discovery course. |
