Course Description
This course has two intertwined themes: the ways in which people made sense of the world in one of history's first urban societies; and the ways in which that society has been interpreted since its rediscovery some 200 years ago. Students study how literacy and numeracy developed in the cities of southern Iraq (Mesopotamia), some 5–6000 years ago, then focus on urbanism and kingship, as well as the training of scribes, scholars, and intellectuals in the third and early second millennium BC. They examine the high social status of doctors and healers, despite their apparent ineffectiveness; investigate how divine will was discovered and interpreted; and consider how big themes in 19th- and 20th-century history - such as exploration and war, empire and race, religion and science - shaped and reshaped popular and learned views of the ancient Middle East, and continue to do so today.

Course Description
The course begins by tracing relevant theoretical perspectives, from a contrast between constructivist and ecological approaches to perception, to contemporary notions of enactive perception and embodied cognition. It will be argued that constructivist and ecological approaches have to some extent been combined in a ‘dual streams’ model of human vision, which emphasises that visual information is processed in different brain areas, in different ways, for different purposes. Evidence for this model will be considered, from neuropsychological symptoms arising from brain damage, functional brain imaging, and behavioural experiments requiring people to interact with visual illusions. We will then focus on the action side of this model, considering the requirements for effective action guidance, and sketching some basic control principles. Feed-forward and feedback control will be discussed, as a prelude to the concepts of inverse and forward modelling. We will then consider in more detail how we represent our bodies and the external world in relation to one another, in order to make purposeful action possible. We will draw distinctions between space occupied by the body, immediately around the body, within reaching distance, and beyond. We will refine our discussion of body representation with the concept of a body schema, and consider how the body schema relates to our feeling of ownership of our bodies. Finally, we will return to the idea of forward modelling, and consider whether this control principle can help explain how it is that we feel that like active agents in the world, rather than passive spectators on our own actions.

Course Description
This course studies the ways in which montage sequences create emotions in film and show not only the work of the editor but also the specific film language and philosophy of its director. This course studies excerpts from well-known films that express interestingly extreme and emotional life situations, set moods and themes, and introduce characters. Students choose one typical emotional situation (fight, sex, death, falling in love, loneliness) and shoot and edit the same scene in two different editing methods, resulting in two short sequences expressing the same emotion, each up to three minutes long and each done in a different cinema style.
