ARTH 280 — 3 credits
Modern Art and Modern Science
June 14 - July 26
MW 6:00-9:00 p.m.; Wednesdays at Cleveland Museum of Art
Indra Lacis
Twentieth Century Art: From Picasso to Pollock to Postmodernism. The function and appearance of art have changed radically throughout the twentieth century. Based on close study of objects in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, this course will examine how the tenets of European and American Modernism were expanded and overturned by later twentieth century movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Feminism. With emphasis on changing aesthetic attitudes as well as on how social and political circumstances affect the creation and interpretation of art, we will analyze specific, influential works of art in view of larger, overarching trends. Since we study many works of art in person, we will also consider how the meaning and role of art is altered within the context of a museum. How were these paintings and sculptures understood when they were first made: were they scandalous or immediately admired, and why are they accepted as part of the canon today?

Perspectives on the Art of Healing in Spanish Cinema
May 9 - 24
Linda Ehrlich and Stuart Youngner
This 2-week course will focus on cinematic representations of bioethical issues in films from several regional film industries in Spain.

Film viewings, and guest lectures will take place in the unique cosmopolitan setting of Barcelona at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and the smaller city of San Sebastián (Donostia) along the Bay of Biscay. We will have ample opportunities to interact with Spanish undergraduates, bioethicists, film makers, film scholars, film festival producers, and critics in both cities.
Students will learn about the meaning of healing in several contexts, and explore specific bioethics dilemmas presented in the films in some detail. In addition, they will get an overview of the social and cultural contexts of the Spanish film industry (with particular attention to the Catalan and Basque film industries). There will be required readings, film viewings, and some lectures. Classroom activities will follow a seminar-style format that emphasizes student participation in discussions.

Departmental Seminar: Narratives of Literacy
June 14 - July 26
TWR 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Judith Oster
How should we define lieteracy? Reading stop signs? cereal boxes? tax forms? or "illiteracy" (do we mean the total inability to read "Run, Spot! Run!" or unfamiliarity with Hamlet? Or the English language)? Literacy narratives (often autobiographical) foreground issues of language acquisition and literacy, often but not always centering around schooling and teaching. What happens when reader meets book? What costs does literacy (in all senses) exact? We will be reading narratives that stimulate such questions, for example: Pygmalion (Shaw), Helen Keller, The Neverending Story (Ende), Madame Bovary (Flaubert); we will also see films - The Wild Child (Truffaut), Educating Rita, and The Miracle Worker. Since this is a seminar, there will be a lot of discussion on these various issues, and of course on the books and authors we are reading.
This departmental seminar fulfills the requirement of both the English major and the SAGES departmental seminar.

Special Topics: Introduction to Parallel Computations Using CUDA for GPUs
May 10 - May 27
MTWRF 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Catalin Turc
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have recently provided the means to have access to inexpensive massively parallel hardware, basically to have a supercomputer on a regular desktop. Furthermore, the use of GPUs for parallel computations can produce orders of magnitude speedup over similar CPUs algorithms. These impressive gains were demonstrated on a variety of applications related to molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo methods, image processing to name but a few.
This course will cover programming techniques for the GPU with an emphasis on NVidia's new parallel computing architecture, CUDA. We will cover the parallel programming concepts (threading, communication, and memory) needed to program massively parallel graphics processors using CUDA. Several GPUs computations for molecular dynamics (N-body simulations), Monte Carlo algorithms will be discussed in detail. Labwork will require extensive programming. Some experience with computer graphics algorithms is preferred, but not required. A working knowledge of the C programming language will be necessary.

What is good and how is it different from evil? How do you know when you have done the right thing? Is there an absolute grounding to morality? What is the role of reason in our lives? What is human nature? Are human beings essentially creatures of emotion? What bearing do these questions have on our basic moral determinations of good and evil? How are all these questions related to concerns about personal identity? These are just a few examples of the kinds of questions we will be discussing during the semester. Using sources from different eras and schools of philosophic thought, we will become better at some of the intricacies involved in thinking clearly about these issues.

How, in such a skeptical age, can people maintain questionable beliefs regarding urban legends, alternative medicine, superstitions, and paranormal phenomena? How do cults manage to attract and maintain large memberships? How can so many seemingly normal people come to the conclusion that they have been abducted by aliens? We will explore the idea that these behaviors are not examples of pathological thought processes, but rather natural consequences of the biases that characterize everyday reasoning. Emphasis will be placed on critical examination of questionable phenomena with a goal of understanding why people might want to hold such beliefs. Grading will be based on 3 papers, an oral presentation, and regular class participation. Prereq: 100-level USFS, FSCC, FSNA, FSSO, FSSY, FSTS.

Representing the Immigrant
June 14 - July 26
TWR 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Judith Oster
For many the world over AMERICA is a dream, a powerful myth, whether imagined through TV and movies, metaphors such as The Gold Mountain, or as symbolized by the Statue of Liberty. Following those visions may lead to success or disenchantment or both. Through fiction, memoir, films, and photographs we will explore the experience of immigrants: the tensions, generational conflicts, and difficulties with communication and culture their families undergo. We will examine expressions of those varied and complex experiences, especially how language represents them. We will also look at the significance of language itself -- think about what and how words mean, and the difficulties of linguistic and cultural translation. Students will share their reactions to what we read and see in class discussion and also in writing informally, even (if they wish) personally. Formal requirements: two shorter analytical papers and a longer paper using sources and possibly interviews, also to be presented in oral reports. There will be conferences on papers and revisions. Prereq: 100-level USFS, FSCC, FSNA, FSSO, FSSY, FSTS.

Are you thinking about medical school? Believe it or not, a sociological approach to medical culture can inform a range of decisions you will make, from specialty choice to practice setting. Medical sociology emerged as a distinct field of study in the 1950s. Since then, we have learned a great deal about how issues of race, gender, aging and ethnicity are tied to issues of medical education, medical training, medial socialization and physician decision-making. Using a life course perspective, this course will examine how lives in medicine change over time; in particular, we’ll study changing workforce patterns, physician satisfaction, and burnout. Other topics to be covered include contemporary ethical issues and alternative professional health careers. The course provides an overview of how medicine and medical practice have a profound influence on—and are influenced by—social, cultural, political and economic forces.
