LIT3038 ST: The Body Politic
London has been the center of theater in the anglophone world for over 500 years. Its playwrights and theaters bring forward important questions about and for the “body politic”: questions about class and race, belonging and not belonging, and questions about the personal voice and choice in a long-established democratic system. This course explores the ways that English drama makes the political personal, while at the same time asking eternal questions about that most important component of any democracy, “the body politic.” Focus will be on close reading and analysis of examples of British playwrighting, from Shakespeare to Sheibani. Students can expect to engage in the reading and analysis of dramatic literature, discussion, research and presentation on course themes. The principle experiential components of the course will include excursions to the Houses of Parliament, Shakespeare’s Globe, and other historical and theatrical landmarks around London and the wider London areas, as well as to see contemporary performances of the plays we read.Students must have completed a 2000 level literature course, with a grade of C or higher, as prerequisite for this course.

LIT4019 Sp Top: Shakespeare Politics of Perform
For the past four hundred or so years, Shakespeare has remained the preeminent English playwright. His work has never been out of print - and more importantly, never off stage. What has contributed to this endurance? Students in this class will explore eight of Shakespeare’s plays with that question in mind. They will look closely at Shakespeare’s handling of his own political milieu, and explore how the plays are used to comment upon more contemporary political realities. To that end, film screenings and attendance at at least one performance will be mandatory. Methodologies include close reading with metric verse technique, and the theoretical approaches of New Historicism and Cultural Criticism. Credits: 3.000

LIT4021 ST: Sex&Politics Shakespeare’s Stag
Sex and Politics on Shakespeare’s Stage is a serious, senior level class with a sense of play. We will read plays across the genres in which Shakespeare wrote, with a particular focus on how Shakespeare shapes his ideas of women, men, politics, and power. The guiding ideas for this course are these: Shakespeare is serous about his sexual politics. And because he is, we have revolutionary ideas (not only for Elizabethan England, but for the present day as well) of gender politics and women’s power. We also have some serious exploration of the power and authority of men, and what happens when that power goes bad. Shakespeare is political. We’ll look at how Shakespeare dared the system of his day, and how contemporary directors are staging him to ask questions about our own politics. This is a hands-on class, with focus on Shakespearean performance. It relies upon students’ close, critical reading of literary sources, insightful contributions and leadership in class discussion, and dedication to the concept of knowledge creation. Students must have completed a 2000-level LIT and WRT3011, with grades of “C” or above. Credits: 3.000

NSC3001 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar
Fundamental to the notion of the ‘interdisciplinary’ is the displacement of knowledge from a singular locus onto a set of relationships extending across all human disciplines. To this effect this course introduces students to the critical components that underpin the disciplines found in the liberal arts and the tools needed to understand, explore, analyze, and synthesize within and across disciplines. A pre-requisite, or in some cases, co-requisite, to upper level core courses in the BA liberal arts major, students are provided the platform for understanding the connections between the arts, humanities, and sciences through a theoretical exploration of significant themes. This course will rotate through the BA faculty and departments each semester: the themes and texts will be generated by the faculty teaching the course: the theories and objectives will be those of the course. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Credits: 3.000
