Honors Course Descriptions

HONORS 385 - 1 Humanities Problems: Environmental Literature

11:00 - 11:50 Monday Wednesday & Friday Judice-Rickels 208 Dr. Patricia Rickels

This is an interdisciplinary course, combining humanities and environmental studies, with literature and writing as major components. The books chosen for reading and discussion contain significant and reliable information about ecological principles, are worthy of study for their literary qualities, and are available in reasonably priced paperback editions. They are Walden by Henry David Thoreau, Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey, Pilgrim at Tinkercreek by Annie Dillard, Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat, Tropical Nature by Ken Miyata and Adrian Forsyth.

Students will be required to keep journals reflecting their readings in environmental literature, their growing awareness of ecological issues in the media, and their own observations of the natural world around them. At least one Saturday field trip will be required and perhaps several briefer field experiences. There will be a term paper, to be presented at the final exam period.

The components of the course are -- reading, writing, discussion, and observation. The goals of the course are -- increased awareness of the natural environment, understanding of ecological principles, appreciation of the literary techniques of some master nature writers, a habit of close observation and skill at recording the nuances of such observations, awareness of a large body of excellent books in the area of environmental literature which might form the basis of a lifetime reading program.

HONORS 385 - 2 Humanities Problems: Jacob's Ladder: Literary & Artistic Depictions of Angel Encounters

02:00-03:15 Monday & Wednesday Rougeou Hall rm 311 Dr. Lisa Graley

Taking as its starting point the biblical story of Jacob's ladder, this is a class about the various depictions of encounters between humans and angels. Although there will be much information from earlier centuries, much of the course material will focus on nineteenth century, twentieth century, and contemporary expressions of angel encounters. Among the texts and films to be included are such things as Gabriel Garcia Maruez's "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings," Bernard Malamud's "Angel Levin," Maria Rainer Rilke's Duino Elegies, Wim Wender's film Himmel uber Berlin (Wings of Desire), Tony Kushner's play Angels in America along with the HBO film version by Mike Nichols, and Elizabeth Knox's The Vintner's Luck.

We will also view numerous depictions of Jacob's Ladder--and other angel encounters----through the visual arts of artisits ranging from William Blake to Marc Chagall to Helen Frankenthaler.

Students will write two critical papers, present one oral report on angel depictions of their own findings (annunciation angels, Garden of Eden angels, Jacob's Ladder quilting patterns, etc.), and take a midterm an final exam.

HONORS 385 - 3 Humanities Problems: Heroes and Outlaws

2:00 - 3:15 Tuesday & Thursday Griffin Hall rm. 404 Dr. Barry Ancelet

The course explores the origins as well as the durability of hero and outlaw myths and the ways in which society transforms and reinvents

them to fit its contemporary needs and notions. Students will consider several well-known heroes and outlaws in their own "time"

(real or fictitious) and compare them to their more modern versions in folklore, literature, film, art, and music.

HONORS 385 - 4 Humanities Problems: Whitman, Melville and Modern Art

9:30 - 10:45 Tuesday & Thursday Rougeou 311 Dr. Joseph Andriano

The course will focus on interpretations, representations, and adaptations of Melville's and Whitman's classic books in painting, music, film, and other arts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Popular-culture responses will also be included. Both books still speak powerfully to us today; the purpose of the course is to demonstrate how each generation redefines a classic for its own time.

HONORS 385 - 5 Humanities Problems: Japanese Art and Culture

9:00 - 9:50 Monday Wednesday & Friday Griffin 201 Dr. Jay Karr

Through religion, literature, music, art, and film, we will study Japan from the beginnings of its culture to contemporary times. The seminar will be divided into four sections. The first will look at pre-Tokugawa, the second the era of "closed doors," the third the Meiji through pre-WWII, and the fourth post-WWII. Students will be evaluated on at least one test based primarily on terms, artists and eras; four three-page papers; and a presentation of a modern interpretation of a Noh play.

HONORS 385 - 6 Humanities Problems: The Politics of Language

1:30 - 2:45 Monday & Wednesday Griffin 405 Dr. Richard Winters

In this course, students will examine the political, educational, social, historical, and linguistic issues surrounding the statu of languages other than English spoken in the U.S., as well as non-standard varieties of English. They will study the historical and current treatment of speakers who fall into these categories--socially, politically, and within the educational system, the legal rights of such speakers, bilingual education, myths and facts about language acquisition and bilingualism, and the debate over English as an official language.
