Online Course. The Hong Kong New Wave (1980s-2000s) was an intensely creative period of film and cultural production whose influence continues to reverberate through the world today. This course will survey key figures, works, trends, and contexts of the Hong Kong New Wave movement, beginning with proto-New Wave developments in the 1960s and 70s and ending with its afterlives in recent Hollywood productions. Sessions will be structured around ten films by directors including Wong Kar-Wai, Tsui Hark, Patrick Tam, Tang Shu Shuen, Angie Chen, Stanley Kwan, and Ann Hui. We will examine their works formally, through shot-by-shot analysis, as well as in relation to broader cultural and political developments, such as the 1967 anti-colonial riots, the 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising, the 1997 handover, the formation of new ciné-clubs and film magazines, the rise of television and piracy, and recent pro-democracy movements. We will also consider pertinent questions of genre, stardom, reception and fandom, history and memory, gender and sexuality, protest and dissent, and what constitutes “Hong Kongness” in relation to postcoloniality, globalization, and nationalism. 1 Credit. Session B: June 30 – August 1. Tuition: $5270. Technology Fee: $85.

Online Course. This course serves as both an introduction to as well as an exploration of American literature from the nineteenth century to the present. We will ask many questions of these texts, not the least of which is “what do we mean when we say ‘American?’” Given the wide range of the body of work that comprises American literature, however, we will also periodically ask in passing what we mean by “literature,” so as to consider what roles the literary plays in creating and shaping the possibilities of social imagination, private and public discourse, as well as one’s own identity. Emphasis on analytical reading, critical writing, and class discussions. Authors include Melville, Poe, Hawthorne, Whitman, Dickinson, Barnes, Toomer, H. Crane, W. C. Williams, L. Hughes, and M. Robinson. 1 Credit. Session B: June 30 – August 1. Tuition: $5270. Technology Fee: $85.

Online Course. The class is is designed to explore examples of Shakespeare’s Histories and Tragedies, trying to see what makes them great in the way that almost all readers and audiences have recognized (and also to think about what the generic disinction means and how useful it might be). The course attempts to discover the reasons for Shakespeare’s unparalleled success, not in some fantasy of his timelessness but by seeing the plays as deeply embedded in the history of their own moment, as well as in later histories, including our own, which they in some part are responsible for. We will think about these as plays to be performed, as drama to be read, and as texts that have been constructed by the activities of various people, Shakespeare of course the first among them. There will be a short writing assignment for each session and a final project. Enrollment limited to 20 students. 1 Credit. Session A: May 26 – June 27. Tuition: $5270. Technology Fee: $85.
