VISUAL REALITY (3) Bakker   Limit 12  Prereq: Prior studio experience Freshmen by permission only  
In art, "Realism" is a simulation of visual reality. But art can also simulate alternative realities, those realities or truths which exist only in daydreams or nightmares. In this class, we will learn to explore and create representations of these additional moments of existence. This will require thinking creatively or "outside the box," a useful skill in any field. Using a variety of media, students are asked to solve problems to which there is no one correct answer. Prerequisite: Imagination (and some prior studio experience).

PHOTOSHOP AND THE DIGITAL DARKROOM (3)  Berger   Limit 10

Run as a companion to traditional photography classes, students will make archival prints, have regular critiques, and attend lectures on the history of the manipulated image and its place in culture. Students will look at art movements which inspire digital artists, including 19th century collage, dada, surrealism, and the zeitgeist of Hollywood films. They will meet with artists who work in this medium as well as visit the BMA to see its growing collection of digital images. Students must have a digital camera.

INTERSECTIONS OF MUSIC AND LITERATURE (3) Celenza  Limit 15  One of the pre-eminent goals of the Romantic Era was the unification of music and literature. As writers sought to capture the "transcendence of music", composers went in search of the "poetic". This course explores the history of this musico-poetic encounter, from its origins in the 1790s to its passing during the first decade of the 20th century. Works by various composers (from Schubert, Schumann and Berlioz to Wagner, Richard Strauss and Schoenberg) and writers (from Goethe, Hoffmann and Jean Paul to Kierkegaard, Hoffmansthal and Thomas Mann) will serve as case studies. In addition to readings and discussion, students will work on an independent project of their choosing (either a research paper or musico-poetic artwork). Course added 04/18/05

TRANSNATIONALISM AND GLOBALISM IN WORLD MUSIC (3) Tolbert   Limit 15      How has the increase in the speed and spread of people, information, symbols, capital and commodities affected the kinds of music that are created and consumed both locally and globally? How does music contribute to discourses of authenticity, difference, and global homogeneity? How do we understand the meanings of music when local, culture-bound explanations are insufficient? How has the historical development of Western ideologies of music and art contributed to current forms of hegemonic control over music such as copyright law and the transnational music business? What have been the political, musical, ideological, and financial consequences of the development of "world music"? In this course we will addresses issues such as the above, with emphasis on an ethnomusicological approach to music in its transnational and global contexts. Course canceled 03/24/05
