Encounters in Spanish and English Empires, the Enlightenment, and Revolutions
(English, American, French). The luxury of European palaces was based on the
exploitation of European peasants and global indigenous peoples. Students
seeking origins of the concept of human rights will consider protest
pamphlets, utopian fiction, and enlightenment stories (some with film

Athens and Renaissance Florence.. This course
provides an opportunity to vicariously "live" in historical cities
considered to be creators of democratic or representative forms of government
as well as of great literature and art. Historian Thucydides, comic
Aristophanes, and philosopher Plato draw us into Athenian gender/class
socialization, politics, and culture; likewise, Boccaccio, the Medici family,
and Machiavelli inform us of Florentine gender/class socialization, politics,
and culture. Monumental architecture and gendered sculpture continue to serve
to decorate and sustain the individuality of each city. By examining documents
of daily life (including court cases concerning sexual acts) and the luxury
products of the diverse crafts, we increase our knowledge of the
controversial behavior and productivity of a wide spectrum of women and men.
By focusing on two cities in their "golden age," the class will
emphasize the shared positive, as well as negative, characteristics of ages
historians have designated as "golden." (May be taken as History
397, by writing a research paper in place of one class paper.) ................... Courses Fall 2017 Hist. 121 sect. 1

14 Becoming a Multi-varied Individual Discuss how to become a
multi-varied individual while learning about people who experienced either
the European Renaissance or the Enlightenment of the 14th through 18th
centuries. That was a period of artistic and scientific innovation, religious
reform, classical revival, and politics of global encounter. Consider the
relationship of contemporary "individuality" to the characteristics
of men and women of early modern times. Two films with memorable lead characters
will be The Return of Martin Guerre
and Belle. Learning
collaboratively, students examine the lives of a diversity of men and women
and the controversies their lives provoked. Open only to first year frosh. CSP

237 History of Feminism T, Th. 10:00-11:25 a.m. CORE Global Connections,
Intercultural. WGSS Minor This course will trace the development of feminism in Europe and the United States and will consider policy issues in applications of feminism in contemporary American law and within the global human rights movement. In early modern times, popular conceptualizations of the intersection of gender, ethnicity, and class divided women from each other just as feminism emerged from a debate on woman’s nature to a debate on opportunities for women: to be educated, to write, to speak out, to preach, to express one’s individuality in dress and demeanor, to work in one’s chosen occupation. For the transformation in political theory from Lockean family representation to Suffragette individual representation in the state, we shall explore the literature on “rights” from Wollstonecraft to United Nations declarations on Women’s Rights. Participating in contemporary feminism, students will debate alternative viewpoints on issues such as abortion, violence against women, and discrimination; and we shall also experience together a diversity of feminist films. Spring 2016 History 224 Marco Polo to Machiavelli: The Italian Renaissance & Exploration, Monday/Wednesday/Friday
1:55–2:50pm Weingart 116 This course offers a chance to come to know a variety of individuals
who lived in and travelled from the Italian peninsula in the 1300s, 1400s,
and 1500s. We shall journey to the Far East with Marco Polo, meet peoples of
the Mediterranean, and "visit" the republics of Venice and
Florence, the papal court of Rome, and the ducal courts of Urbino and Mantua.
We shall enjoy distinctive creations in literature, education, philosophy,
and the arts, and read letters about S. American peoples from Amerigo
Vespucci. Diplomat Machiavelli witnessed independent Italian city-states fall
to French and Habsburg conquests and described such realistic politics;
courtesan Veronica Franco successfully practiced her sexual trade while
writing poems celebrating her true love as well as her mercantile city-state.

We shall evaluate Renaissance arts and letters, traveler reports and images of peoples of South America, and Protestant Christianity and the Catholic Counter-Reformation with subsequent competition among missionaries and European states for converts around the globe. We shall discuss amusing short satires by the most famous Northern humanist and humorist Erasmus, protester of cruelty Las Casas, and empirical scientist Bacon's scientific utopia New Atlantis, Montaigne’s “On Cannibals,” and Campanella’s City of the Sun in the context of travelogues and island utopias.
