Summer I 2009 SOC S101 STILL OPEN!
Sociology | Social Problems and Policies – Culture & Society
S101 | 12949 | Gougherty
________________________________________
10:20AM-11:55AM MTWR BH 304
Did riots break out over different interpretations of Shakespeare?
Do violent video games lead to more violence in society? Are members
of youth subcultures, such as Goths and punks, as rebellious as
people perceive them to be? How are TV talk shows like Oprah and
Jerry Springer produced? What do your music tastes say about you?
Can you identify someone’s social class by what they have in their
living room?
These are a few of the questions we will be addressing in this
course, which is an introduction to the sociological study of
culture. We will begin by asking what culture is and examine how
various sociological theorists have answered the question. We will
then examine various subcultures and discuss whether they
challenge “dominant” culture.
Following this we will address the production of culture,
particularly how talk shows are produced and the influence of
organizations on the creation of cultural products such as music. We
will then discuss audiences and whether people actively or passively
consume culture. We will end by examining the relationship between
culture and inequality, with a particular emphasis on social class.
The class format will be a combination of lecture, discussion, and
multimedia presentations.

Photo Class Offered at IU this Summer
Fundamentals of Photography: S291
3 Credits, Summer Session I
Monday-Thursday 9.30-12.15
Instructor: Alexis Culver
Course Description:
This is a basic “tool-skills” course, whose aim is to help the student
develop practical control over the black and white photographic process, as
well as a degree of independence from further instruction and
misinformation in the form of manufacturer’s advertising.
Practice training and some theoretical information is given in the
problems of exposure of photographic field and paper, film
development, enlargement (printing) contrast control and presentation.
Aesthetic considerations are discussed to the extent that the
particular course population warrants, in that students are drawn from
all areas of the Arts and Sciences as well as most of the Professional
Schools, and are by no means exclusively Fine Arts majors. More
of this is done on an individual basis, to cater to the diversity of
interest; an attempt is made to match further individualized
instruction to the needs and applicational interests of the students.
Important areas discussed are camera controls, the lens and light,
shutters, light metering, film exposure, depth of field, contrast,
bracketing, developing, printing, and materials and chemicals.
The format of the classes includes explanation, discussion,
demonstration, approximately an hour of lecture plus discussion and
four hours of supervised laboratory per week; plus out-of-class
photographing.
A personal camera is required, 35mm with manual control.
A lab fee is charged. Please visit http://www.indiana.edu/~blbursar
for fee information.

Interesting SSI Course with Openings: CJUS-P 302 Courts and Criminal Justice
Looking for a course for Summer I?
Want to learn how the criminal courts really work?
P302, Courts and Criminal Justice
Summer I
M-F, 10:10-11:35 am
"Courts and Criminal Justice" looks at criminal courts in the United States. Arguing that courts must be understood as political institutions, we begin by considering the place of courts in the political system, the structure of the federal and state court systems, and the selection, roles, and working environments of the major participants. We will consider the court both as a community itself and the court in relation to the wider community that it serves. Against this background, we will focus on key stages in the processing of criminal cases -- the decision to prosecute, bail, pleas and trials, and sentencing.
In a small class setting, students will have the opportunity to discuss courts with respect to what is and to consider what should be. Materials for class will include readings by social science researchers, lawyers, and journalists; documentaries, including video of a real-life jury; and an in-class simulation.
Readings:
Baum, Lawrence. 2008. American Courts: Process and Policy. 6th edition. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.
Feige, David. 2006. Indefensible: One Lawyer’s Journey into the Inferno of American Justice. New York: Little Brown and Company.
Selected readings available in a class reader and on-line.
Evaluation:
Students' performance will be evaluated through participation in class discussions and in-class exercises, a review essay, mid-term and final exams
Instructor:
Professor Mary Lee Luskin, Criminal Justice Department
Questions: Contact luskin@indiana.edu

Summer 2009 Undergraduate Courses in Latin American Studies
Space remains in two undergraduate courses in Latin American and Caribbean Studies for Summer Session 2009. Our offering for Summer I is noteworthy insofar as it carries both Culture Studies “A” and A&H credit. The offering for Summer II is noteworthy in that it is an entire course on the social and political dimensions of none other than soccer in Latin America. The instructor for both – Alfio Saitta – is superb.
SUMMER I
LTAM-L211 – Contemporary Problems in Latin America / HIST-H212 – Latin American Culture and Civilization II
(Carries College A&H Distribution Credit and Culture Studies “A” Credit)
Monday through Friday, 2:35-3:50 p.m., BH 136
Instructor: Alfio Saitta (asaitta@indiana.edu)
Course Description and Objectives
This course will survey the history of Latin America from the early nineteenth century to the present. It will examine the region’s relationship to colonialism, modernization, race and ethnicity, nationalism, revolution, populism, and neoliberalism. The core elements of the course are framed by two competing perspectives. On the one hand we will concentrate on the political and cultural markers that define the various periods used to characterize broad changes and the history of the region writ large. On the other hand we will investigate everyday people and their lives in distinct parts of the regions at different moments in the past two hundred years. The first of these perspectives is geared towards following and making sense of the very complex and broad cultural, political, and economic changes that have transformed the region since the early nineteenth century. The second provides glimpses into the real world effects of those shifts, helps us understand their causes, and provides an opportunity to think about the ways in which the personal interacts with the political in diverse corners of the region.
Course Requirements
There are no prerequisites for this course. The course approaches the study of Latin America using methods drawn from history, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and cultural studies. Throughout the course students will engage selected readings and investigate core themes by exploring a variety of sources, such as original documents, videos, photographs and other types of primary source material in order to compliment assigned readings. Further requirements include short response papers, critical media analysis, and active in-class participation.

Alfio Saitta: asaitta@indiana.edu
SUMMER II

Upper-Level N&M for SSI: ANTH-B370 Human Variation
If your students are looking for an N&M during Summer Session I, they might consider ANTH-B370 Human Variation, taught by Frederika Kaestle. There are no prerequisites for the course, and Professor Kaestle does not assume any genetic or biology knowledge beyond the high-school level; she is happy to have freshmen enroll.
The course explores the variation within and between human populations in anatomy, genetics, and behavior. Explored are current hypotheses regarding human variation in a multitude of traits, including skin color, body shape, blood type, response to stress, disease resistance, IQ, and sexual orientation. The topics of this course involve profound questions facing society, and revolve around new and constantly evolving science and technology. Major themes for this course include:
o The principles underlying human variation (genetics, evolution)
o Patterns of human variation today
o The causes of these patterns
o Nature vs. nurture
o Genes and behavior
o The ethical dilemmas of this research
o A historical perspective on this research
This summer Prof. Kaestle will continue her tradition of sequencing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from any student who would like to participate, and discussing what insights their sequences provide into their personal genealogical histories.
Student feedback for this course is very positive, and Prof. Kaestle is adept at explaining the material clearly and engaging her students. It's a fun and informative class.
Thank you for helping spread the word!

Interesting Summer Courses in American Studies
AMST-A 200: Comparative Racialization in the United States
Clark Barwick
Summer 2009, Session I
T, W, TR 10AM-Noon
3 Credit Hours, Distribution Credit: A&H
In 1903, W.E.B. Du Bois predicted that the “problem of the color-line” would be America’s greatest challenge in the twentieth century. During Du Bois’s time, many Americans viewed race primarily as a white-black issue. However, as America has become more complex, there is less consensus as to exactly what terms such as “race,” “racial identity,” and “racism” actually mean. For instance, what social and political value do categories such as “Indian American” or “African American” or “Asian American” continue to hold in today’s age? Can we establish any basic shared experiences among Americans of color? How do whites perform their “whiteness”? And what happens when Americans identify with more than one racial and/or national heritage?
In this course, we will place a number of perspectives—from anthropologists, to Supreme Court justices, to filmmakers, to activists— in conversation, in order to establish a workable history of race in America and to enrich our understanding of how race is learned, experienced, and lived. Emphasis will be placed on how race is constructed in popular culture, and we will look at texts ranging from fiction by Junot Diaz and Bharati Mukherjee, to films by Spike Lee and Wes Anderson, to recent episodes of South Park and The Office.
AMST 201 (Course # 5421): U.S. Movements and Institutions
Topic: Cultural Paranoia and the Contemporary Hollywood Misdirection Film
Instructor: Seth Friedman
(3 cr. hrs.) A & H
T-F 3:30PM - 4:20PM; Weekly film screenings, M 3:25PM – 5:30PM
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. 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), Memento (2000), Psycho (1960), The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), and The Usual Suspects (1995).

Permaculture Information Session
ANNOUNCING: THE SEVENTH ANNUAL PERMACULTURE COURSE
CLLC L230 Permaculture: Learning through Nature
INFORMATION SESSION: Collins LLC Coffeehouse, Thursday, Feb. 12th at 5pm. (Pizza and snacks will be served)
The course will be take place from May 31st through June 14th 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 publishers 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 staying in cabins for the duration of the two-week course. The course classroom is a renovated barn, the Lazy Black Bear grounds are an inspirational site for thinking about Permaculture, and an expansive dining hall, solar shower facilities and indoor composting toilets 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 27th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/academics/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, 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!
