EA 068 PZ -Ethnoecology
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course investigates the ecological priorities and concepts of various peoples, from so-called “fourth world” hunters and gatherers to “first world” scientists. What we isolate and consider as ecological knowledge includes those aspects of culture that relate to environmental phenomena directly (e.g., resource exploitation) and indirectly (e.g., totemic proscriptions). Thus, this ecological knowledge affects subsistence and adaptation. Ethnoecology-the study of cultural ecological knowledge-begins, like the science of ecology itself, with nomenclatures and proceeds to considerations of processes. In this course we study beliefs about the relationship between humans and the environment as expressed in both Western science and the traditions of Native peoples, and we explore where these cultural systems of knowing intersect and diverge.

FS 002 PZ -Writing about Art*
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This seminar - appropriate for artists and non-artists - asks what it means to engage with an artwork through writing. How is the practice of the art writer - the critic, curator, or historian - In conversation with the work of the artist? What can writing bring to art? Do difficult artworks require the art writer to explain them? Can writing about art be a creative practice as well as a scholarly one?

FS 003 PZ -Reality Hunger*
Institution: Pitzer
Description: “Art is not truth; art is a lie that enables us to recognize truth”-writes novelist David Shields in Reality Hunger, a tour-de-force manifesto composed largely from plagiarized sources, including work by Picasso, the original author of this quote. Yet if art is artifice, why do we continue to expect sincerity from writers? What does the growing cultural interest in the “real”-from the rise of the memoir to the ubiquity of reality t.v.-tell us about our expectations about the truthfulness of stories? In this seminar, we explore our vexed relationship with the real by analyzing its close affinity with deception. We begin by reading cultural works that both harness and poke fun at our expectations, including novelist Lorrie Moore’s fake instructions “How to Become a Writer” and poet August Kleinzahler’s writings about being raised by the family dog. We’ll then pen essays about our own life stories, testing our versions of the truth against academic theories about the slipperiness of language and memory. Next we’ll use writings about deception to analyze Brian Lerner’s Leaving the Atocha Station, a novella based on a troubled Fulbright Fellow who travels to Spain to become a “real” poet. For the final paper, students write op-eds about any topic related to our culture’s obsession with the “real.” [A. Scott, Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures]

FS 004 PZ -Right Wing Politics*
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course explores contemporary right-wing politics, both in the United States and globally. By reading right-wing political theory, by analyzing right-wing political movements, and by writing extensively about both, we will uncover the social and political foundations of the contemporary right. In doing so, we will seek to move beyond superficial dismissals of conservative politics and instead to figure out why exactly people associate with the political right today. All this, of course, will allow us to ask: what is to be done? [W. Barndt, Political Studies]
Prerequisite(s): First-Year Seminars are required for all incoming freshman and do not have prerequisites.

FS 005 PZ -A Short History of the Sale*
Institution: Pitzer
Description: When people buy and sell things, what goes on at the heart of the transaction? Why do we buy what we buy? What are the moral dilemmas of the trusting relationship between the buyer and seller? How has the art of selling developed over time in the United States? Rather than looking at salesmanship (and saleswomanship) as a business practice or a form of advertising, this seminar will employ literary and historical texts-such as Melville’s The Confidence Man and Miller’s Death of a Salesman-to examine the moral and social meanings of transactions in American culture. [S. McConnell, History]

FS 007 PZ -Utopias and Dystopias*
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Throughout history, writers have created ‘ideal societies’ to question their own cultures and to envision solutions or alternatives to pressing social concerns and problems.

FS 009 PZ -Making Space and Unsettling Settlers: California Indian Nations and Pitzer College*
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course will critically examine higher education as a site of decolonizing struggle within settler societies such as the United States. We will study colonization and decolonization, the cultural specificity of knowledge production, the educational experience of indigenous peoples, and differences between Western and indigenous ways of learning and knowing. Within this framework, and premised on the understanding of Pitzer College as a settler institution, we will consider Pitzer’s relationships with the Indian Nations of Southern California. In light of Pitzer’s social responsibility ethic, we will go beyond analysis to actively imagine new relationships and move towards enacting them.

ANTH 098 PZ -The Modern State and History: the Israeli Case
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This seminar examines relationships between the Israeli state and historical remembering, particularly in regard to four moments: (i) the reported exile following the Bar Kokhba revolt of the second century, (ii) the Holocaust, (iii) the establishment of the Israeli state, and (iv) the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The seminar’s examination of the Israeli state’s relationship to historical remembering is preceded by consideration of (i) the scholarly literature on the social construction of races, nations, and peoples, and (ii) debates about the desirability of “neutrality” and “balance” in courses on controversial, potentially incendiary topics (such as this course, obviously). Materials used in the course include films (such as, “A Film Unfinished,” “Paradise Now,” and “Gatekeeepers”), as well as readings by such figures as Nadia Abu El-Haj, Rashid Khalidi, Amos Oz, Edward Said, and Shlomo Sand. The seminar concludes by considering what the Israeli case tells us more generally about modern states and historical remembering.
Prerequisite(s): HIST 011 PZ/ANTH 011 PZ or (in exceptional cases) permission of the instructor. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.

HIST 012 PZ -History of the Human Sciences
Institution: Pitzer
Description: The social and behavioral sciences-economics, sociology, political science, anthropology and psychology- structure our experience so completely that we sometimes take them for granted. The great division of intellectual labor that these “human sciences” represent can seem so natural and so logical, that it is sometimes hard to imagine a world without them. But these disciplines did not always exist. In exploring their histories, we simultaneously ask about the contingency of our world and about how it might be different. It is a history of the present.

Description: For some, environmental history recounts humanity’s long encounter with nature; for others, it is the changing story of the land itself; for still others, it is an account of humanity’s changing ideas about nature and wilderness.

HIST 017 PZ -History and Political Economy of Natural Resources
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course surveys the modern history and political economy of natural resources. Though we will focus on gold, diamonds and oil, the course also addresses larger issues of resource exploitation within specific historical, political and economic settings. We begin with the so-called “scramble for Africa,” when European nations carved up Africa between them at the Berlin Conference in 1885. This scramble for Africa and its resources was later extended to other regions of the non-western world, such as the Middle East. The course will then explore the role of natural resources in internal and global conflicts, from the colonial to the post-colonial periods, focusing on how those conflicts played themselves out in Africa and the Middle East.

HIST 045 PZ -West African History through Novels and Film
Institution: Pitzer
Description: West Africa is a region with a rich, fascinating, though often tumultuous history. Legendary medieval empires, Islam, and Christianity, slavery and the slave trade, colonial rule, the formation of nation-states, and crises of war and poverty-these episodes have all shaped the historical experiences of West Africans. Fortunately for those studying West Africa today, this history has been captured with quite extraordinary skill by its novelists and filmmakers. Men and women such as Chinua Achebe, Buchi Emecheta, and Ousmane Sembene have greatly enriched our understanding of the region through their art. This course, therefore, will examine the history of West Africa through novels and films.
Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
