  • 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.

We will also look at “sustainability success stories,” such as Curitiba. To what extent can natural resource use depletion be blamed for the creation of spaces called “ghost towns”? This course includes three required field trips: one day-long field trip, one two-day, and one three-day.

  • 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? In addition to reading, writing, and talking about art, this class will also visit exhibitions and interact with visiting artists and critics. Projects and assignments range from conventional to experimental. [B. Anthes, Art History]

  • 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.

    Note(s): * This course includes an additional required hour of “global-local” programming each week.

  • 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]

    Prerequisite(s): First-Year Seminars are required for all incoming freshman and do not have prerequisites.

  • 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. Sometimes these visions have galvanized social or political action, sometimes they have been rejected as dangerous. In this course, utopias and dystopias will be our entry into the cultures that produced them. We will explore critiques of economic and political systems, gender relations, sexuality, and modernity in texts from ca. 400 to the 1970s.  [C.

  • 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. As part of this, the class will take actions in support of educational access for Indigenous youth as well as engaging in other types of service learning with Tribal Nations. [E.

  • FS 012 PZ -Science in the Public Imagination


    Institution: Pitzer

    Description: From “Frankenfood” to “Intelligent Design,” we are bombarded in our daily lives with scientific (and pseudoscientific) information.

    Institution: Pitzer

    Description: This seminar will examine the ways in which we as a species have identified ourselves as distinct from other animals, machines, and biological creations.

History

  
  • 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.
