AMST-A201 | 11537 | U.S. Movements and Institutions | TOPIC : Cultural Paranoia and the Contemporary Hollywood Misdirection Film | 3 cr. | A & H | TWRF, 2:30-3:20 | Film screenings: M, 1:25-3:20 | Seth Friedman
Since the early 1990s, there has been a spate of Hollywood films such as The Sixth Sense (1999), The Usual Suspects (1995), and Fight Club (1999), which are renowned for their surprise endings. All these films possess a similar narrative structure; they each contain a revelation that encourages spectators to reinterpret retrospectively all that has come before. Although these films can be identified as belonging to other pre-existing industrially recognized genres, this class will take the approach that they are more appropriately categorized as constituents of the “misdirection” genre. This is because the narrative revelation is the most consistently referenced feature whenever people speak or write about these films, regardless of the ways that the studios package them.
This class will investigate the reasons why this long-standing narrative mode has proliferated in the U.S. over the past two decades. It is significant that some U.S. audiences have been drawn to films that demand greater interpretive work than what is typically needed to decipher the standard Hollywood fare. To address this apparent paradox, we will examine the socio-cultural and industrial conditions that have made misdirection films attractive to both Hollywood producers and some U.S. audiences over approximately the past twenty years. We will attempt to determine why an audience for these films has recently formed. Specifically, we will address why films containing narratives that suggest that the “truth” is being concealed from view have become so appealing to a significant segment of U.S. spectators. We will focus on questions such as the following: What relationship do films and other forms of media have to the culture in which they are produced and consumed? What can the popularity of contemporary misdirection films tell us about the acceptability of different modes of interpretation in the U.S. since the early 1990s? How do communities form from specific interpretive practices? What can these films tell us about contemporary racial and gender politics in the U.S.? What connection do these films have to the development of new home-viewing technologies, the rise of the Internet, and other recent changes impacting the U.S. media industries? To help us respond to these questions, we will read selections from a variety of disciplines such as Anthropology, Film and Media Studies, History, Literary Studies, and Political Science.
Films will likely include the following: Arlington Road (1999), Fight Club (1999), Jacob’s Ladder (1990), Magnolia (1999), Memento (2000), Mulholland Drive (2001), Psycho (1960), The Shining (1980), The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), and The Usual Suspects (1995).

Office Hours: Mondays 1:30-2:30 (or by appointment)
Course Description:
“Political Islam” is a striking phenomenon that is not only creating a severe tension within Islamdom, but is also shaping the relations between the Muslim world and the rest of the world.
This course will focus on the religious principles that contemporary political Islam is based upon. The questions that outline this course are: What is the religious literature that makes the foundations of the Islamic movement? How is it interpreted? What is the religious reasoning behind the positions of political Islam from Democracy, pluralism, women’s rights, suicide bombings, etc…?
This course will provide an opportunity to survey some of the leading literature on the subject of political Islam and to look closely at the religious aspects of some of the major Islamic movements.

Interesting Summer Course: GNDR-G 104 Into the Wild: The Intersection of Gender and Nature
GNDR-G 104 INTO THE WILD: THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER AND NATURE
Summer Session II.
The course counts as an arts and humanities and is suitable for any undergraduate.
The instructor has provided this description:
Gender is more than just a label we use to categorize people. It often goes unnoticed that the language of gender is applied to a number of other concepts as well, such as nature. The first part of this course will interrogate how and why nature has been conceptualized as female or feminine, specifically within the contexts of Western science and nation building/colonization. We will examine not only the process of gendering nature but also some of the consequences of this conceptualization. The second part of this course will focus on women's nature writing, ecofeminism, and the environmental justice movement (with particular attention paid to the ways in which these practices can make visible submerged discourses of race, class, location, and embodiment that are also embedded in Western conceptualizations of nature), as examples of the ways in which women and feminists have appropriated, revalued, and deconstructed the metaphorical conflation of woman and nature. We will also examine ecoterrorism and connections between masculinity and nature.
Course work will consist of short reading responses or quizzes and short writing assignments addressing either in class texts or popular culture such as advertisements, newspaper articles, etc.

Interesting Summer Course: SPEA-E 162 Environment and People: Thinking Global, Acting Local
SPEA-E 162 Environment and People: Thinking Global, Acting Local
Second Summer Session 2008
M-F, 11:30am-12:20pm
Instructor: Paul Schneller. Adjunct Professor
E-mail address: schnelle@indiana.edu Phone: 332-5842
Secretary: Jennifer Mitchner, SPEA Phone: 855-7980
Brief Course description
This course is a survey of issues and problems arising from human interaction with the natural environment. We will look at topics from a global perspective first, then a local one, with special emphasis on the IUB campus and the recently completed report of the IUB Sustainability Task Force. Looking at topics one by one is, of course, a convenient way to analyze them, but it is artificial. In the real world, everything is connected to everything else, and things are not that easy to analyze. We will try to make the connections visible within each individual topic, and focus as much as possible on what we humans do and why we do it. The topics we will look at are Ecology Basics, Population, Climate, Energy, Water, Food, Biodiversity and Forests.
In general, I hope that this course will help you become more aware of how we humans are affecting and are affected by the natural environment. I believe that it is critically important for students to graduate with a working knowledge of what's going on in the environment. It may be a cliché to say that students are the future decision-makers of our world, but it is true. There are well-informed people who believe that degreed individuals are, as a group, heavily responsible for many of the actions that have led to the environmental threats we are all facing. My goal is to arm you with enough information and create sufficient awareness so that when you graduate (or even while you are still an undergrad), you operate at the campus level, the corporate level, the governmental level or wherever, with the prudence that comes from an understanding of the human potential for causing environmental change. Further, I hope you come to believe – if you don’t already – that what you do matters, whether you act alone, or with a few other like-minded people, or as a member of a large group.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
a) describe critical global and local environmental problems that are correlated with human activity, and
b) specify actions that you and others can take on campus and elsewhere to mitigate those problems.

Interesting Summer Course from the History Department - Blacks and the City: The African American Urban Experience
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY
Second Summer Session 2008
HIST-A 379
Blacks and the City:
The African American Urban Experience
WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD “URBAN” WHAT COMES TO MIND?
Since the mid-20th century, this term has increasingly become identified with the culture of this country’s citizens of African descent...
And with good reason: In the year 2000, almost 90 percent of African Americans lived in metropolitan areas!
The purpose of this course is to help students gain an understanding of the historical situations that informed the African American experience in urban centers. This course will prepare students to engage in broad discussions about Black urbanity in the colonial period and into the 18th and 19th centuries when most African-Americans were in bondage. We will delve into the 20th and 21st centuries by looking at the Black experience in terms of labor and the migratory experience, cultural production, and class formations. We will study the changing meanings and implications of race, the impact of slavery and emancipation, and the effects of conflict and community building on Americans who happen to be both Black and urban. Additionally, we will investigate the role of gender in the evolution of the African American family; surmise how interaction with Native Americans, native and ethnic Whites, Asians and Asian Americans, and Latinos/Latinas have impacted the experiences of African Americans; and make meaning in how leisure and entertainment, worship and activism, and health and institution-building have all been negotiated by African Americans in their quest to make lives for themselves in cities, all in order to answer one overarching question: What does it teach us about American history and culture? The above will be achieved will by looking at Black urban life in the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West and drawing upon primary source material and both historical and sociological scholarship.
Finally, this course is designed to help students learn how to make inferences and interpret texts to create their own meaning, analyze and structure arguments, view issues and situations from varying and diverse perspectives, and to familiarize them with the historical profession and different historical methodologies.
The required books—Grossman’s Land of Hope: Chicago, Black Southerners, and the Great Migration & Trotter, Lewis and Hunter’s, The African American Urban Experience: Perspectives from the Colonial Period to the Present—will be available for purchase at the Indiana Memorial Union bookstore. Other required readings are available on-line at the course website, on E-Reserve, or contained in Internet links.
There will be two take-home writing assignments and two in-class exams.

Introductory Public Relations Course Offered in First Summer Session
In the first summer session the School of Journalism will offer J321 Principles of Public Relations as a three-hour course, MWF, 1:10-3:40 p.m. in Ernie Pyle Hall. Many students who take this class use it as a way to explore whether public relations is a potential career option for them. The course provides an overview of the breadth of the profession, what it takes to be successful, how to be a responsible advocate, and how practitioners apply communications and problem-solving skills to public relations challenges. The students are usually a mix of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are no prerequisites for the course, so students from different disciplines will find it easy to enroll. I will be teaching the course and am happy to answer any questions.

Announcing the Sixth Annual Permaculture Course
CLLC L230 Permaculture: Learning through Nature
Above class is a 2 wk field course in the Hoosier National Forest
Carries N&M credit
http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/permaculture.shtml
Information session: Collins LLC Coffeehouse, Thursday, Feb. 21st at 7pm. (Pizza and snacks will be served)
The course will be take place from June 1st through June 15th at the Lazy Black Bear Retreat Center in Paoli, Indiana (located about an hour south of Bloomington and surrounded by the beautiful Hoosier National Forest). The course will be run by me and taught by Peter Bane and Keith Johnson, two of the best Permaculture teachers in the country. They are former residents of the Permaculture eco-village Earthaven and are the editors of the Permaculture Activist, the only Permaculture magazine in North America.
Permaculture, for those who know little about it, is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.
Students who complete this course not only get three hours of IU credit, but also receive their certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Participants will be camping outdoors in tents or cabins for the duration of the two-week course. Classes will be held in a renovated barn, and indoor composting toilets and solar showers facilities are available (as well as ponds for swimming, forest for hiking, gardens for eating, and campfires for gathering around for music and conversation in the evenings). Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course. The application deadline is Friday, March 28th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/permaculture.shtml
This website provides further information about the course and has pictures from previous years. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition rate, a fee of $555 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials. Any one wanting to know more about the course is welcome to email me at dhaberma@indiana.edu. Relish this day!

Information session: Collins LLC Coffeehouse, Thursday, Feb. 21st at 7pm. (Pizza and snacks will be served)
The course will be take place from June 1st through June 15th at the Lazy Black Bear Retreat Center in Paoli, Indiana (located about an hour south of Bloomington and surrounded by the beautiful Hoosier National Forest). The course will be run by me and taught by Peter Bane and Keith Johnson, two of the best Permaculture teachers in the country. They are former residents of the Permaculture eco-village Earthaven and are the editors of the Permaculture Activist, the only Permaculture magazine in North America.
Permaculture, for those who know little about it, is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.
Students who complete this course not only get three hours of IU credit, but also receive their certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Participants will be camping outdoors in tents or cabins for the duration of the two-week course. Classes will be held in a renovated barn, and indoor composting toilets and solar showers facilities are available (as well as ponds for swimming, forest for hiking, gardens for eating, and campfires for gathering around for music and conversation in the evenings). Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course. The application deadline is Friday, March 28th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/permaculture.shtml
This website provides further information about the course and has pictures from previous years. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition rate, a fee of $555 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials. Any one wanting to know more about the course is welcome to email me at dhaberma@indiana.edu. Relish this day!
