Particular attention will be given to the Old and Middle Kingdoms, when the foundations of Egyptian art and literature were first established.

    College Curriculum: COLL 200
    Domain (Anchored): ALV
    Domain (Reaching Out): CSI
    This spring-semester course continues the survey of ancient Egyptian cultural history that we began during the fall semester in COLL 200 “Deciphering Ancient Egypt” (Part 1); completion of that course is therefore a prerequisite for enrollment in this one. Whereas the fall-semester course focused upon the foundational aspects of Egyptian cultural history during the Old and Middle Kingdoms, this spring-semester course will instead challenge the popular view of Egyptian culture as static by highlighting the innovations of the New Kingdom through the Late Period, when Egypt underwent rapid theological, demographic, and economic transformations that resulted in an increasingly cosmopolitan society and a crisis of collective identity. Students will continue to develop their basic understanding of Egypt’s hieroglyphic writing system in order to access the many layers of meaning conveyed in the art and literature of this era. So radical were the changes to the human condition during the first millennium BCE that a leading Egyptologist has even referred to Egypt’s New Kingdom as the “threshold to the modern world!”

    Ancient Israel and Ancient Greece are two of the most influential ancient “places” for our understanding of the modern world. However, and even though they flourished at roughly the same time and not so very far away from each other, they are rarely studied together. This course examines what the study of both can help us see about each that might otherwise be harder to see. Our discussions will proceed more or less chronologically from the thirteenth century B.C.E. to the conquests of Alexander in the fourth century, dealing throughout with crucial issues in the study of history, memory, ethnic identity, and especially myth.

  • CLCV 356 - Comparative Slavery: From Antiquity to the Modern World


    Credits: (3)
    Domain (Anchored): CSI
    Various forms of involuntary servitude, often lumped together under the term “slavery,” are so prevalent in history as to constitute a pernicious human institution.   Yet they are rarely studied in a comparative fashion to understand how these various forms, which occur in nearly every society, time period, and geographic region, differ from one another, borrow or build on one another, and survive multi-pronged attempts at eradication.  For example, in the United States slavery has become synonymous with the Atlantic Slave Trade, which itself collapses various kinds of involuntary servitudes into chattel slavery.   To rectify these problems, this course approaches the institution of “slavery” through a comparative lens.  Beginning with Greco-Roman slavery, we will then move forward in time and across the globe to examine involuntary servitude in the Middle East (Mamluks, Jannisaries, Arabic Slavery), in Medieval Europe (feudalism), in the early modern Americas (the Atlantic Slave trade), and finally into the modern era (textile manufacturing in South Asia and human trafficking). The study of slavery from antiquity to the modern era enables us to examine the many and different facets of how this human institution manifests itself in a multitude of societies throughout time. 
    Note: (When appropriate for College 300, course will carry a C300 attribute, listed at the schedule level.)
  
  • CLCV 357 - The Use and Abuse of Classics: Ethnicity in Antiquity and Race in the Modern US


    Credits: (3)
    College Curriculum: COLL 350
    This course begins in the ancient Mediterranean world where some of the earliest inquiries about human difference took place. Prompted by colonial encounters, the Greeks began to examine human origins, genealogies, and environmental theories about why humans differed from one another in physical appearance and cultural expression. Through ethnographic and scientific inquiry, Greeks and Romans analyzed, marginalized, and categorized “others” while creating a privileged identity for themselves based on ideas of liberty, citizenship, and inclusion. Recovered during the Renaissance, these ancient intellectuals informed not only the explorers of the Age of Discovery but also the philosophers of the Enlightenment. Indeed, it was the confluence of interactions between Western Europeans and indigenous populations and the reemergence of ancient ideas of “otherness” that formed the basis of Enlightenment thought on such dichotomous subjects as liberty and racism, human rights and slavery, and secularism and religiosity. The course will conclude by examining the legacies of both the Greco-Roman tradition and the Enlightenment on the creators of the modern U.S., including Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Franklin, and Hamilton, among others, and the ramifications of these influences on contemporary U.S. society.
