Spring (3) Panoussi Prerequisite(s): LATN 202 (ALV)
In no other period did the tensions and ambiguities inherent in Roman society manifest themselves more acutely than in the first and early second century C.E., Rome’s ‘Silver Age.’ It was frequently a violent and cruel period in which absolute power could be exercised with a malignancy rarely plied since. Yet this age also produced a literature often marked by profound humanity and by an inventiveness comparable to that of the ‘Golden Age’ a century before. The goal of this course is to gain some insight into the paradoxes of this period. Reading selections in Latin and sometimes English from authors like, Seneca, Petronius, Lucan, Statius, Pliny the Younger and Tacitus, we will
examine the social and political conditions of writing in this period, and we will consider the degree to which these authors were aware of, and indeed played with, the hierarchies created by literary canons and reflected in epithets like ‘golden’ and ‘silver.’

AFST 319 - The Caribbean
Fall or Spring (3) Staff (College 200, CSI)
Situated at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the United States, the Caribbean has played a pivotal role in global transformations since 1492. The region’s past helped shape and was shaped by many of the contradictory themes defining modern history: slavery and freedom, racism and equality, empire and independence, despotism and democracy, and migration and transnationalism. Focusing on Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and especially Haiti and Cuba, we will explore these themes in Caribbean history from the Haitian Revolution to the present. The course is structured around class discussion. Grading will be based on brief papers and class participation. (This course is anchored in the CSI domain, and also considers aspects of the ALV domain.) (Cross-listed with HIST 309 and LAS 309 .)
