Course Description
In this course, students study works by four leading exponents of modern detective fiction. Didier Daeninckx's MURDER IN MEMORIAM provoked heated debate when it was published in 1984 because it stirred up memories of events – especially during World War II and the Algerian war – that France had been trying hard to repress. Manuel Vásquez-Montalbán's TATTOO (1975), as well as being a prime example of modern noir, presents a stinging critique of the dirty realities of Franco's Spain. DEATH IN FLORENCE by Marco Vichi, set against the backdrop of the devastating Florence flood of 1966, explores the dark underside of the city that offers a very different public face to the world: Inspector Bordelli investigates the murder and rape of a young boy, and is drawn into a network of neo-Fascists, Masons, paedophiles and drug-traffickers. Henning Mankell's FACELESS KILLERS (1992) sees the first appearance of his famous detective Wallander. In this bleak novel, the detective has to contend not only with a case that presents precious few clues but also with a rising climate of racial hatred and right-wing extremism. Students learn much about the 20th-century history of France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, and are given a firm grounding in the narratology of classic detective fiction (i.e. a technical understanding of how “plot” is constructed) that prepares them for other literary studies.

Course Description
This course focuses on the disintegration of Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. This was the period encompassing the two world wars, both of which began on the European continent and slowly spread out across the world. The course takes an in-depth look at the causes, connections, and comparisons of these two wars, but also at the other types of political violence (revolutions, civil war, ethnic cleansing) that colored these fifty years. Students are given an understanding of the history and historiography of this radical period and educated on the analysis of primary sources. The research skills thus obtained are then used to conduct independent research, which concludes the course.

Course Description
This course surveys ancient and medieval Europe, from ancient Greece to the Reformation. The ancient and medieval world may seem to be a remote society, but there are many connections with and influences on the contemporary world. Thinking about democracy, politics, religion, liberty, and sciences, the past society gives us clues to see our contemporary world from different perspectives. This course analyzes various primary sources, such as the texts of Herodotus and Thucydides; Res Gestae Divi Augusti (The Deeds of Deified Augustus); Suetonius' Life of Roman Emperors; Pliny the Younger's Letters; Eusebius' Life of Constantine; the forged document of the Donation of Constantine; and the Travels of Ibn Jubayr, to understand how history has been made and interpreted. This process develops one's basic ability in historical study and source criticism.

Course Description
The European Union (EU) as we know it has been formed by three creative processes: deepening of the integration, enlargement of the EU, and economic transformation in former socialist countries. In this course, after introducing those processes and some theoretical background, different EU economic policies are thoroughly analyzed. Considering that the participants are American undergraduates, this course systematically compares and contrasts the EU and its role in the world with the United States. Preliminary knowledge of principles of microeconomics is strongly recommended, but all necessary theoretical concepts are briefly summarized as part of this course.

This course offers an overview of European history since the French Revolution. Students learn about, and interpret, the great events of the modern period - the revolutions, national unifications, and wars - as well as the processes that have shaped our time, such as industrialization, democratization, imperialism, and changing gender roles. Ranging across political, socio-economic, and cultural themes, and visiting all parts of Europe, from Britain to Russia, from Sweden to Italy, it allows students to debate the great historiographical controversies of modern Europe, and ultimately to reflect on the ways that history informs the crises of the present day.
