COML H245A Performance, Literature and the Archive The ‘archive,’ as both an institutional and performance practice and a theoretical concept, has been one of the most studied

sites in performance and literary studies. The hegemonic, patriarchal institution of the archive that constructs and perpetuates the canon and the master narratives of history while, marginalizing, silencing, and erasing the subaltern and the subcultural has been contested by the poststructuralist philosophers and critical theorists of the late 20 th and early 21 st century. A new concept of the archive transpired in the interdisciplinary fields of postcolonial, gender, cultural, and performance studies, one that is more utopian and more inclusive and is not limited by dominant repressive power structures and ideologies. This archive does not merely revisit the past to excavate the eradicated traces and silenced voices, but also, perhaps more importantly, opens the potential for a formerly unimaginable, and yet-to-be-imagined future.

ECON H300A Intermediate Microeconomic Analysis Microeconomic theory has developed around the analysis of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" conjecture. To test this conjecture,

we model the behavior of economic actors (consumers and firms) and their interaction in different markets. These models allow us to investigate the conditions under which these markets work well, less well, or not at all. In the process, basic tools and concepts used in other areas of economics are developed. Many of the topics covered in Introduction to Economics (ECON 105/106) are studied more rigorously and in greater depth. New topics, such as behavior under risk, insurance, and imperfect information, are introduced. Prerequisite(s): ECON 105 or 106, and MATH 114 or 118, or instructor consent Attributes: B: Analysis of the Social World Social Science

We will also explore how forms of satire, comedy, and humor cross wires with traumatic experience. The role of heightened emotional states, including fugue or hypnotic experiences, and the shifting currency of the words "terror,” “freedom,” and “shock” will be part of our focus.

ICPR H190A Introduction to Feminist and Gender Studies Intended for freshmen and sophomores who feel compelled by public conversation around gender, to introduce them to methods

and theories of scholarly analysis. We read historical texts of American feminism, learning how to approach primary sources in co-ordination with campus archivists. We read novels set in Philly that take up race, class, gender and identity to locate these conversations in this political moment and geographic place. We explore classic and recent theoretical texts, to understand how disciplines ranging from neurobiology to art history understand and intervene in scholarly work on gender. And we examine films with female directors, one from the 1930s and one from 2017 to put all the sections of the course in conversation.

The course aims, first, to give students some of the knowledge they will need to address these problems and be effective global citizens. Second, to understand some of the major forces that shape the



present world order.

a variety of contexts through a set of six foundational themes and questions: Music and the Idea of Genius, Who Owns Music?, Music and Technology, The Global Soundscape, Music and the State, and Tonality, Sense, and Reason. Each unit uses a small number of musical works, performances, or documents as a focal point. In each unit we also read current musicological work in an attempt to understand the methods, arguments, and perspectives through which scholars interpret music and its many meanings. This course is required of all music majors and minors in their sophomore or junior year. Prerequisite(s): MUSC 110, 111, or 203 Attributes: A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) Humanities

PEAC H300A Ethics of Temporality: Indigenous Land Claims, Child Soldiers, International Tribunals

This seminar will pose questions of how law and time intersect, focusing on cases where changing our understanding of time might help law do better, or changing our idea of law might help us understand what is at stake in different stories about time. Cases we’ll consider include: how international law judges child soldiers (which involves a discourse on time, aging and responsibility); the length of time it takes for an international trial to conclude (which involves both a long span of years and a hope that what gets adjudicated in the present moment redresses a past for the sake of a better future); how North American courts hear or fail to hear indigenous oral history as evidence in land claims cases (here we encounter traditions with very different ideas of what it means for time to pass trying to communicate about what happened in the past and how that should be judged in the present moment). Students may focus their research work on these cases or on other areas of their choice, and there will be space in the syllabus to tailor some class readings to student interests. Readings



will come from philosophy, political theory, legal theory, legal trial transcripts, video of trials in progress, anthropology, literature, documentary films, and various other sources.

the leading obstacles to peace and justice worldwide, and of what global citizens can do about them. The three obstacles we consider are colonialism and its legacies, whether we live in a global racial order, and whether the global economic order harms the poor and does them a kind of violence. The two solutions we will consider are the project of economic and social development, and the practice of human rights. The course aims, first, to give students some of the knowledge they will need to address these problems and be effective global citizens. Second, to understand some of the major forces that shape the present world order. Third and finally, to hone the skills in analysis, theory-building, and arguing that are highly valued in legal and political advocacy, in public life and the professions, and in graduate school.

SPAN H307A Creative Fiction and Non-Fiction Writing Workshop A fiction- and creative nonfiction-writing workshop for students with advanced Spanish writing skills. The class is

conducted as a combination seminar and workshop, with time devoted to discussion of work by established authors and by students. The course will focus on the development of essential elements of craft and technique in fiction and non-fiction writing (point of view, voice, dialogue, narrative and rhetorical structure, etc.) We will focus more on how fiction and non-fiction stories work rather than on what they mean. This writerly perspective can be useful for reconsidering and judging pieces of writing long accepted as “great,” as well as a practical method for developing individual styles. Short fiction, crónicas, personal essays, travel narratives, and memoirs are some of the forms we will work on. At the end of the semester, each student will produce a dossier with four edited, full-length pieces of original writing, consisting of a combination of fiction and non-fiction work. Previous experience in creative writing is recommended, although it is not necessary.

SPAN H490A Senior Departmental Studies The course will consist of two one-semester parts. The first, taken in the fall, will have the format of a seminar under the

supervision of one Spanish department faculty member. The purpose of this seminar is to prepare students for the research and writing their senior theses by 1) enhancing and refining the reading tools and critical approaches to texts in Spanish acquired in previous courses; 2) elucidating and contextualizing relevant aspects of literary history, theory, and culture 3) determining the thesis topic, key secondary sources and approach to be deployed in writing the thesis, and 4) polishing the skills and methods for successful research and proper use of available resources. Problems in literary and cultural analysis-selected with a view to their pertinence in relation to the group’s interests-will be presented through close



readings of works from various periods and genres and through selected works of criticism or theory. The Spring semester will involve the process of writing the thesis. Students work under the supervision of individual professors. Attributes: Humanities

WRPR H118A Portraits of Disability and Difference Rosemarie Garland-Thomson writes that "staring is an interrogative gesture that asks whats going on and demands the story.

The eyes hang on, working to recognize what seems illegible, order what seems unruly, know what seems strange." In this seminar we will explore visual and literary portraits and self-portraits of bodies marked by difference, bodies that often elicit stares. We will ask: What kinds of stories are told about these bodies? How do memoirs and self-portraits by people with disabilities draw on and challenge traditions of life writing and portraiture? How does this work enlarge cultural and aesthetic views of embodiment, disability, and difference? Open only to first-year students as assigned by the Director of College writing.

WRPR H150A Approaches to Literary Analysis Intended like other sections of the Writing Program to advance students' critical reading and analytical writing skills,

this course is geared specifically towards introducing students to the discipline that studies the literary traditions of the English language. One of its aims is to explore the broad range of thematic interests inherent in these traditions, sharing as they do common roots in the history of our language and its influences. The powers and limits of language; ideas of character and community, and the relation between person and place; heroic endeavor and the mystery of evil; loss and renovation these are among the themes to be tracked through various strategies of literary representation and interpretation in a variety of genres (epic, narrative, and poetry) and modes (realism, allegory, and romance), and across a range of historical periods. Our goal is to develop the vocabulary, skills, and knowledge necessary to understand not only how we decide what literary texts mean, but also how literary texts generate and contemplate meaning.

Orthodox Quakerism (the form of Quakerism that is most closely connected to Haverford College) was reinvented in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Students in this course will examine some of the changes that Orthodox Quakerism underwent between the 1860s and the 1940s by analyzing the life and thought of Rufus Jones (1863-1948). Jones is the most famous Quaker ever to teach at Haverford and one of most influential scholars ever produced by the Religious Society of Friends.
