ARCH-ARCH
Island Archaeology: The Social Worlds of Crete, Cyprus and the Cyclades AS.040.232 (01)
Islands present highly distinctive contexts for social life. We examine three island worlds of the third and second millennia BCE through their archaeological remains, each with its particularities. These are places where water had a unique and powerful meaning, where boat travel was part of daily life, where palaces flourished and where contact with other societies implied voyages of great distance across the sea. Class combines close study of material culture and consideration of island-specific interpretive paradigms; students work with artifacts in the JHU Archaeological Museum.

Why Poetry Matters: Poets Between Lies and Truth in the English and Italian Renaissance AS.211.351 (01)
Does poetry participate in the quest for truth and knowledge? How does it compare to other such disciplines as history or philosophy? Are poets liars or do they have a deeper gaze on reality than anyone else? To answer these questions, this course studies poetry’s role within the different fields of human learning in the Renaissance. We will focus on the English and Italian tradition, reading texts by John Milton and Torquato Tasso, and explore the classical roots of the debate around poetry (Aristotle, Plato, Horace). We will then examine the relationship between science and literature through the work of Galileo Galilei. We will also study rare and ancient books in our library. The course is taught in English. All readings will be in English, but the original texts will also be available.

Gendered Voices AS.211.374 (01)
The course will explore the notion of ‘voice’ in order to show how poetry, literature, philosophy, and music have been dealing with it throughout the ages. In particular, by focusing on classical figures such as the Sirens, Circe and Echo, as well as by considering the seminal discussions of the 'voice' in Plato and Aristotle, the course will address the gendered nature of the voice as a tool to seduce and manipulate the human mind. More specifically, the course will discuss the ways in which male, female, queer, gendered and un-gendered voices embody different functions. Course materials include classical, medieval and early modern sources as well as later rewritings of myths concerned with the voice by authors such as Jules Verne, Karen Blixen, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, and Italo Calvino. A selection of theoretical works (e.g. Cavarero, Silverman, Dollar, Butler) will also be discussed. The course is taught in English and all materials will be available in English translation; Italian majors and minors should enroll in section 2.

Who were the witches? Why were they persecuted for hundreds of years? Why were women identified as the witches par excellence? How many witches were put to death between 1400 and 1800? What traits did European witch-mythologies share with other societies? After the witch-hunts ended, how did “The Witch” go from being “monstrous” to being “admirable” and even “sexy”? Answers are found in history and anthropology, but also in theology,literature, folklore, music, and the visual arts, including cinema.

Obsessed with the Past: the Art and Architecture of Medieval Rome AS.010.431 (01)
In antiquity, Rome became the capital of an empire, its growing status reflected in its sophisticated urban planning, its architecture, and the arts. While an abundance of studies explores the revival of this glorious past in the Renaissance, this seminar discusses various ways of the reception of antiquity during the medieval period. We address the practice of using "spolia" in medieval architecture, the appropriation of ancient pagan buildings for the performance of Christian cult practices, the continuation of making (cult)images and their veneration, the meaning and specific visuality of Latin script (paleography and epigraphy) in later medieval art. We discuss the revival and systematic study of ancient knowledge (f. ex. medicine, astronomy, and the liberal arts), in complex allegorical murals. As we aim to reconstruct the art and architecture of medieval Rome, this course discusses ideas and concepts behind different forms of re-building and picturing the past, as they intersect with the self-referential character of a city that is obsessed with its own history.

In this course, the first half of a year-long sequence, we will read substantial texts of major Republican and some Augustan authors.

Hands, Tongues, and Voices: Taking Apart the Roman Author AS.040.377 (01)
This seminar examines the relationship between writing and selfhood in Roman literature. It introduces students to particular works which uniquely deal with this issue, the epistles of Seneca, the exile poetry of Ovid, the Golden Ass of Apuleius, and the Romance novel of
Achilles Tatius. While participating in a social context in which writing should be a tool to stabilize the self as literary self-care, these authors and their works reveal something contrary, writing’s tendency to unhinge a stable self and compromise it, especially by way of metaphors comparing their bodies to their texts. The wishes of each work’s authorial voice, to be a sage, fall in love, return to Rome, or, simply, be a human, in all sorts of ways are resisted by the topic of the seminar, the materiality of writing. The course will introduce undergraduates to the material practices of writing in antiquity and modern approaches for understanding these interpretively rich works.
