Course Description
This course examines the "dark" side of late Victorian and Edwardian literature. It provides an appropriate cultural history for the literature of the fin de siècle, exploring a wide range of topics: fears of over-civilization and diagnoses of neurasthenia in the upper classes, a psychology that divides the mind into upper and lower (primitive) layers, a psychopathology describing deviant sexualities and states of hysteria, the emergence of "the new woman," occultism and spiritualism, drug abuse, fears of contagion and disease, and ideas of apocalypse at the turn of the century. The course moves from cultural symptoms diagnosed by theorists of decline to the solution often proposed by writers concerned with Empire (and, in America, with the Frontier): a masculine regeneration sustained by travel, adventure, and heroic struggle. Debates about "new" and "fallen" women are considered within the context of late Victorian sexual politics. Lectures and seminars also address the interests of the Rhymers' Club, the poetic coevals of the decadent novelists, preoccupied with the "literature of failure."

Course Description

European film industries have consistently produced popular films and yet the most common perception of European cinema is one of arthouse production. This course redresses this misperception. Putting the terms "popular" and "European" together illuminates them both. "Popular" means different things in different countries: it may refer to box office success, or local traditions, or particular class or niche tastes. Sometimes what is "popular" is said to express the character of a nation, while at other times it is seen as a corruption of such a national identity. This course address many facets of what we refer to today as "Popular European Cinema." The course's methodologies reflect the rubric's multifariousness. It may be taught through a comparative approach, looking at one genre, such as melodrama or comedy, across several countries, or considering the effect of different institutional and funding contexts. It may also take a trans-national approach, looking at co-productions or stars who worked and were popular in a number of European countries.

Course Description
This course explores the concept of information and its relation to data and knowledge, taking an historical perspective through examining the past, present, and future of associated institutional repositories and collections (libraries, archives, museums, galleries, data vaults) as well as the different historical forms of information sources (moving from the papyrus and codex up to contemporary forms such as the database). The course engages students in a critical, interdisciplinary examination of the role institutions and collections play in validating and verifying information and information sources, and scrutinizes the interplay between audiences, politics, aesthetics, material forms, and the socioeconomic, technological, and sociocultural elements in which information is situated.
