By reading historical and contemporary accounts of minority news-making, this seminar will offer students a comparative view of how small communities envision their role in the public sphere and how they create counter-publics.

Brown University - HMAN 1970N - Two Cultures?

This is a workshop for graduate and advanced undergraduates in both the sciences and the arts to come together to explore where these two "cultures" diverge and connect through method, philosophy, history, and practice. With readings from both the history of science, scientific works, and artistic works written in response to the sciences, we will explore the nature of creativity across the widest of disciplinary boundaries. Particular attention will be paid to those periods in history when the sciences and the humanities were for many practical purposes inseparable. Creative and critical writing will be used to explore the ways students in the arts, humanities and sciences might make alternative forms of expression from their work, as well as other forms of "research" into this rich and diverse territory. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Cogut Center for Humanities Department Restrictions: May not be enrolled as the following Classification(s):            Semester Level 04       Semester Level 03       Semester Level 01       Semester Level 02 Return to Previous New Search

Brown University - HMAN 1970O - Testimonies as Historical Documents: Interethnic Relations at a Time of Genocide

This seminar will investigate the manner in which testimonies can be used as historical documents, especially in the reconstruction of communal massacres and genocide on the local level. The primary focus will be on written and oral accounts by eyewitnesses of the Holocaust. We will begin initially with exploring some of the theoretical writings on testimony, and then turn to the historical context of the events described in the testimonies. Though the bulk of the testimonies in question will be by Jewish survivors, we will also have access to accounts by German perpetrators, and the Polish and Ukrainian inhabitants of the same region. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Cogut Center for Humanities Department Restrictions: May not be enrolled as the following Classification(s):            Semester Level 04       Semester Level 03       Semester Level 01       Semester Level 02 Return to Previous New Search
