SSII Anthropology Class
ANTH-E 105 (5023) Culture and Society
ANTH-E 303 (5024) Intro to Socio-Cultural Anthropology
11:30-1:00 MTW Summer Session II
*above classes meet together
*above classes for non-majors
These classes, designed for non-majors, are taught simultaneously and carry S&H distribution.
This course will introduce non-majors to the many facets of socio-cultural anthropology. Throughout the course, we will be investigating how the issues of social organization, politics, economics, religion, art, identity, and globalization are dealt with by a variety of cultural groups. In order to understand how socio-cultural anthropology approaches these topics today, we will look into the history of anthropology as well as the theory and methods anthropologists employ for understanding the world and how others perceive it. Some of the theory covered in this course will be drawn from ecological and cognitive anthropology. No prior knowledge of anthropology is expected. By the end of this course, you will not only have a better idea of how other cultural groups conceptualize and order the world, but also how this knowledge can enrich your program of study.

Interesting Summer Course: GER-G 364/WEUR-W 406 German Exile Literature and Film
German Exile Literature and Film
Instructor: Rachel Bachmann
First Summer Session 2007
Department of Germanic Studies, G364
Department of West European Studies, W406
FULFILLS A&H AND CSB REQUIREMENTS – BUT THE COURSE DOES NOT COUNT TOWARD THE CMCL MAJOR OR MINOR
In this course we will primarily discuss works by authors and filmmakers who were forced to go into exile during the Third Reich for political or religious reasons in order to avoid censorship, persecution, and, in most cases, death at the hands of the Nazis. The class will focus on a variety of genres, from novels to poetry, from dramas to short stories, from crime fiction to children’s books. The exiles whose work we tend to know best are those who came to our country – Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, etc. – but this class will additionally expose students to those who escaped Germany for other destinations such as Switzerland, Scandinavia, the Soviet Union, Palestine, Great Britain, and South America.
We will address such questions as: How do we define exile literature and film? How are themes such as homesickness, criticism of the home country, the novelty of life in the host country, the experience of fleeing, and the economic and emotional hardships of exile depicted in the works? How receptive are the various host countries to the presence and works of the German exiles?
No knowledge of German is necessary for this course; all assignments and discussions will be in English. Class requirements will include careful reading and film viewing, active participation in class discussions, a reading/viewing journal, 2 reaction papers, and an exam.

Interesting Summer Course: WEUR-W 405 The Footballization of Europe
First Summer Session 2007
M-F, 11:45 a.m. -1:00 p.m.
West European Studies, WEUR-W405
Germanic Studies, GER-V400
Sociology, SOC-S410
cross-listed in Russian & East European Studies
S & H Distribution, CSB Culture Credit
Christian Weber, cpweber@indiana.edu – please contact for questions
In this course we will explore Europe’s modern history and society through the lens of one sports game: football (a.k.a. ‘soccer’). Football not only moves millions of people in stadiums or in front of the TV, it also mobilizes the masses in spontaneous street parties or riots, and it is a driving force of local patriotism, nationalism, and the development of a European identity. There is hardly a better way to study Europe in its modern history and diversity or unity as it is today than by learning about football teams from Scotland to the Balkans – competing in amateur matches or the UEFA Champions League.
We will discuss such questions as: What kind of a game/spectacle/ritual is football?* How did it come into existence, and how did it spread all over Europe and the world? How does football shape or reflect European societies and nations? How does it help to create a new European identity? What are the economic effects and how do the media transform the game? Finally: Why is football/‘soccer’ not a national sports event in the US?
Requirements include active participation in discussions, a presentation on a European football team that you ‘adopt,’ media/internet research, quizzes, and a final project.
* No practical skills or insider knowledge are required – though curiosity and enthusiasm for football are recommended!
Take a trip through Europe this summer! Enroll now!

Summer Intensive Writing Class in Comparative Literature
Summer Intensive Writing Class in Comparative Literature
Department of Comparative Literature-Summer 2007
C205/12421
Comparative Literary Analysis:
Narrating Travel
V. Halloran ~ Summer Session I ~ TWR 11:30-1:30
Intensive Writing and A & H
This is an introductory course in literary interpretation required of Comparative Literature majors and recommended for other students interested in the study of world literature. This course fulfills the INTENSIVE WRITING requirement for the College of Arts and Sciences as well as Art and Humanities distribution credit. This first summer session we will anchor our discussions of different genres and periods in literature by focusing on the theme of Travel and examine how writers narrate their experiences of travel in literature. Through a reading of selected plays, nonfiction travel narratives, poems and short novels, we will study how the experience of travel, broadly conceived, acts as a prism through which larger social problems and/or dynamics are played out. Among the travel destinations we will read about are the Caribbean, Mexico, and the fictional island of Utopia. Students will write four short papers on assigned topics and revise one essay.

Topic: Crisis and American Democracy
First Summer Session 2007
Class number 12654 / 1:10-2:25 p.m. Daily / BH 148
Instructor: David Higgins
What are the relationships between American democracy and crisis?

How is democracy possible during a state of emergency, and how are states of emergency produced, extended, or resolved? What are the ethical stakes involved in ‘suspending’ democratic rights in a time of crisis, especially when these rights are suspended in the name of democracy itself? What are the relationships between terror and excitement, and how do they frame our responses to political decisions and cultural values?

Latin American Summer Course and Fall Language Courses
SUMMER section I – LTAM L 300- THE LATIN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
Instructor: Kevin Coleman
Daily: 11:45 am- 1 pm at BH 241
This course offers an introduction to Latin America: its geography, heritage, and the historical transformations of the region from the pre-Columbian civilizations to colonies and nations.
To better understand the social worlds of the colonial Latin America, we will read, discuss, and write about the three major themes of this course: conquest, colonization and independence. Our readings will be balanced roughly equally between analyzing primary source documents and critiquing interpretative accounts written by contemporary historians. We will also view and interpret films dealing with select topics of the course
The course carries Cultural Studies credit and it is open to undergraduates only.
