 Comparative Studies

Course: COMPSTD  2350 Credit Hours: 3 

Campus: COL Program: UGRD Type:  LEC 

Course Title and Description: Introduction to Folklore 

Folklore is the culture that people make for themselves. Not all of us are specialists, but all of us tell stories and cultivate communities. This class explores everyday expressive forms including stories, customs, objects and digital forms shared in informal contexts. Recurring central issues will include the dynamics of tradition, the nature of creativity and artistic expression, and the construction of group identities. We will consider various interpretive approaches to these examples of folklore and folklife and will investigate the history of folklore studies through readings and an independent collecting project in which students will gather folklore from the field, document it and interpret it for meaning. Under-read and represented texts in the field of folklore were intentionally chosen as readings for this course. By the end of this course, students should gain a basic orientation towards thinking through the power and significance behind the everyday creative expressions of their communities.   

Guiding questions: How do people express themselves in traditional forms? How are social concerns articulated in stories, jokes, memes and other genres? How does human creativity burble up in everyday life? 

The creation of the syllabus for this iteration of COMPSTD 2350 comes in part from the combination of the recent push to represent underrepresented authors, subjects, and fields of study and the groundwork laid by the American Folklore Society for an accessible revitalization of introduction to American folklore courses. The instructor is grateful for the work already done to bring the less heard voices to the front of the stage when it comes to representing the discipline of folklore to new students. 

Prereq: English 1110 (110) or equiv. Not open to students with credit for English 2270 (270), or 2350H.

Course Title and Description: Shakespeare 

This class will approach a selection of Shakespeare’s best and least known plays through several methods, examining them not only as historical artifacts rooted in the time and place of their creation, but also as spectacles that are besy illuminated by live performance. To better enable us to the ways that staged properties and special effects are crucial parts of Shakespeare’s stagecraft, we will be especially interested in the practical means through which Shakespeare’s plays (and earliest printed books they appeared in) resonate with both historical and contemporary audiences and readers. Through in class excercises, field-trips, a creative group project, and assignments in costuming, casting, and directing, we will seek to answer questions like: How was an English stage of 1592 different from a typical American Stage of 2027? How does a production pretend to cut someone’s hands off? How can two unrelated actors simulate playing twins? What did Elizabethans think a medieval battle looked like? What happens when a boy actor plays a female role? Or a female actor plays a male one? Who censored Shakespeare’s plays, and why? Previous students have found this class challenging and positive, noting that it helped them to better understand the importance of being an English major.

Course Title and Description: Classical Archaeology 

HA2301 is concerned with the study of the Classical past through its material remains. The term Classical here refers to the Greek and Roman cultures of the Mediterranean world beginning with the palace civilizations of the Aegean Bronze Age and extending through the third century of the Roman Empire (c.2000 BCE-300 CE).  The objective of the course is to familiarize the student with the history of the discipline, the techniques of archaeological fieldwork, and the major archaeological discoveries and controversies of the past two centuries.     

Additionally, as a History of Art course, HA 2301 places a strong emphasis on the study of the major arts of antiquity, especially architecture, sculpture, and painting.  Indeed, the study of ancient Greek and Roman art has for centuries been embedded within the field of Classical Archaeology, for reasons that we will closely consider. The selection of sites and monuments is not comprehensive but is intended to showcase important developments within the field, especially in cases where archaeology has provided evidence that challenges preconceived notions of Greek and Roman culture.

Course Title and Description: Gender and Sexuality in European Art 

This course offers an introduction to the intersectional study of European Art, exploring the intertwining ideologies of gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity from the Ancient Mediterranean World to the present. We will see that the ways artworks impact and construct ideas and stereotypes about gender, race, and sexuality in the modern world are deeply influenced by their development in premodern history. Topics to be explored include the ways in which ideas about gender roles and identities are shaped by artworks; the gendered contexts of artistic production; gendered practices of viewing works of art; the changing status of female and non-white artists and patrons in Europe; the way people of color were depicted in premodern European art; and queer and transgender artists and artworks. We will investigate the ways in which works of art enforced particular codes of behavior for people of different genders and races, but also how works of art served as sites of resistance to such roles and stereotypes, and as a place where individual identities were negotiated and portrayed. We will explore both famous works of European art and also lesser-known paintings, sculptures, buildings, and objects of visual culture.

Course Title and Description: Renaissance Art in Italy 

This course offers a panoramic introduction to the greatest artists and masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance from its beginnings in Florence through its triumph in Rome and Venice. After setting the stage with a brief overview of the art of the Late Gothic period in Italy, lectures will trace the nature of the revolutionary changes that transformed painting, sculpture and the decorative arts in the 15th and 16th centuries. Students will consider how art was deployed to project social, political, or spiritual power and authority, and explore how spaces such as chapels, monasteries, private palaces, and the public square shaped the viewing experience for artists and viewers alike. A number of Renaissance environments will be experienced in Virtual Reality in collaboration with the Emerging Tech Studio and students will reflect on how modern technology brings this remarkable period in history to life in new ways.

Course Title and Description: 17th-Century Art of Italy and Spain 

The seventeenth century marks an era of heightened artistic experimentation and experience, a phenomenon loosely labeled “the Baroque” by art historians. Baroque art is emotional, visceral, seductive, and even manipulative. This course will help students learn how to interpret and critique this vast, complex, often contradictory, and even fun period of art from primarily two geographical areas, Italy and Spain (ca. 1580-1700). Students will explore topics such as the demands placed on religious imagery following the Counter-Reformation, the relationship between art theory and art-making, artistic self-fashioning, the rise of new genres of painting and specialized art markets, and the transmission and translation of iconography and ideas across the European continent and beyond. The art and architecture covered in this course will provide unique avenues to approach a period in history marked by political and religious upheaval, scientific discovery, and intellectual developments that shaped the modern world.

Science and Technology class

MedRen 2610 - Science and Technology in Medieval and Renaissance Culture

Instructor: Prof. Sarah Neville, T TH 2:20 - 3:40PM, 082 University Hall, Class Number: #36706

This GE course will read primary and secondary texts to explore the history of science and technology in antiquity and the pre-modern world, supplementing our investigations where possible with studies of historical objects. In our considerations of topics like medicine, anatomy, alchemy, cartography, natural history, mechanics, war craft, astronomy and navigation, we’ll investigate how cultural, social and religious factors influenced the theory and practice of science. Each week, students will read translations of historical texts that help reveal how the science and technology we now take for granted (Forks! Clockwork! Gunpowder! Calculus!) began with studies and discoveries long ago.

MedRen 2666 - Magic and Witchcraft in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

Instructor: Prof. David Brewer, T TH 12:45-2:05 PM, 300 Journalism Building, Class Number: 26391

This course will investigate the history of magic and witchcraft in Europe and its colonies from antiquity up through the early eighteenth century, when religious skepticism and the beginnings of modern science supposedly disenchanted the world (“supposedly” because belief in magic is still very much with us). We will be particularly attentive to three questions: how people thought about magic and what it could do, how people who could supposedly practice magic were regarded and treated by those who could not, and how magic relates to what scholars have long regarded as the principal other ways of understanding and engaging with the world: religion and science. Most of us probably don’t believe (or at least wholly believe) in magic, yet billions of people in the past who were every bit as smart as us did. We’ll try to understand how and why that belief might have made enough sense in their world that some of them turned to magic to improve their lives or harm their rivals and others felt so compelled to oppose magic that they were willing to hunt down, prosecute, and execute those they regarded as witches.

Course Description: Western Art 1

This course examines the history of Western Art (architecture, painting and sculpture) from the third millennium BCE through the fifteenth century CE.

There will be a strong emphasis on visual analysis and understanding how visual forms convey meaning and relate to the viewer. Our goal is to impart not only a body of knowledge but also a set of critical tools, which you should be able to apply to even material not specifically covered in this course.

This course offers a panoramic introduction to the greatest artists and masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance from its beginnings in Florence through its triumph in Rome and Venice. After setting the stage with a brief overview of the art of the Late Gothic period in Italy, lectures will trace the nature of the revolutionary changes that transformed painting, sculpture and the decorative arts in the 15th and 16th centuries.

A number of Renaissance environments will be experienced in Virtual Reality in collaboration with the Emerging Tech Studio and students will reflect on how modern technology brings this remarkable period in history to life in new ways.

A black-and-white print of seventeenth century London.

MedRen 3217 - Shakespeare's London

Instructor: Chris Highley, T TH 2:20 - 3:40PM, TBD, Class Number: #29995

This course will explore roughly one-and-a-half centuries of the history, politics and culture of London, beginning with the religious upheavals of the Protestant Reformation, moving on to a Civil War that saw the king lose his head and culminating with the devastating plague and Great Fire of London in 1666. In our tour of this vibrant metropolis, we will encounter an extraordinary range of figures: alongside the great and the good like Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and William Shakespeare, we will also meet prostitutes, vagabonds and gulls (!). You’ll become familiar with the layout and buildings of London, its churches and cathedrals, its palaces and thoroughfares and of course its iconic river Thames. We will linger especially around the theatres, bear gardens, alehouses and brothels that made up London’s burgeoning entertainment industry. 

No required textbooks.

MedRen 5631 - Survey of Latin Literature: Medieval and Renaissance

Instructor: Leslie Lockett, WF 9:35-10:55 AM, 1080 Derby Hall, Class Number: 35222 (undergrad) and 35223 (grad)

Medieval Europe has a reputation for extreme feasting and extreme fasting. In this intermediate-level Medieval Latin course, you can hone your Latin skills while also learning about feasting and fasting in the Middle Ages, plus farming, cooking, and nutrition through the eyes (and palates) of medieval experts.

We will translate excerpts from works such as Palladius’s agricultural manual De re rustica, Oribasius’s dietary theory in the Latin version of his Collectiones medicae, recipes fit for the king of the Goths in Anthimus’s De observatione ciborum, and guidelines for a minimalist monastic diet in the Regula of St. Benedict. Along the way we’ll also learn a bit about reading from medieval manuscripts and using specialized research tools.

Students will be graded on their preparation for in-class translations, written translation exercises, and two exams. No textbooks are required for this course, readings will be provided via PDF on Carmen. Prerequisite: Latin 1103 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor. If you have questions or would like permission to take the course, please contact Professor Leslie Lockett at lockett.20@osu.edu.

 

MedRen 5695 - Italian Renaissance Cities: Literature, Art, Architecture

A 1499 etching of Ferrara, Italy

Instructor: Jonathan Combs-Schilling, M 2:15 - 5PM, 455 Hagerty Hall, Class Number: #29617 (UG), #29618 (G)

From abstract, people-less visions of the Ideal City to the blood-stained floors of urban butcher shops, this course uses literature, art, architecture and historical sources to capture the thrill and investigate the cultural productivity of Italian cities in the period we now call the Renaissance. At the start of the period, the Italian peninsula was home not only to four of the five largest cities in Europe to be found in Italy (with Venice far and away the wealthiest on the continent), but roughly four hundred small but independent city-states as well, each vying to outdo its neighbors on the page, in the marketplace, or on the battlefield. After exploring the evacuation of cities after the fall of the Roman empire and re-flourishing of urban populations beginning around 1000, we will use representations of the city—from humanist treatises to bawdy short stories, comic plays, and paintings—to better understand the social and cultural forces that produced the Renaissance, as well as the lived experiences of individuals on the margins.

Instructor: Highley, Christopher Frank, F 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Room: TBD (Varies - please consult the CMRS Events page for additional info), Course Number: 18525

This will amount to: 4 1-hour+ lectures by visiting professors and at least 1 internal lecture and subsequent discussion (total 3 hours per event); at least one lunch with visiting faculty member (2 hours); active involvement with the Medieval and Renaissance Graduate Student Association and its activities; and meetings with the Center director (one hour once per term). With permission of the director, other professional activities (such as attendance at appropriate conferences, on or off campus) may be substituted.

Prereq: Grad standing. Repeatable to a maximum of 3 cr hrs. This course is graded S/U.

This course introduces students, through a series of texts in English translation, to important works representative of pre-modern Arabic literature -- the longest continuous literary tradition in the Western world. These works (including pre- and early Islamic poetry, the Qur'an, Abbasid court and urban literature, Hispano-Arabic poetry and the Arabian Nights) are set in their cultural and historical context through reading assignments and classroom lectures, and they are discussed in some depth with full student participation. Students not only become acquainted with a number of masterpieces of a major and highly influential world literature, while considerably expanding their cultural horizons, but also encounter basic approaches of dealing with translations of those texts. Serious attention will be devoted to the nature of literary evidence and its utilization in support of aesthetic and critical judgments.

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic there is no greater time than the present to understand how infectious diseases (such as plague, smallpox, cholera, tuberculosis, influenza, and HIV) have shaped the course of human history and the ways in which societies across time and place have responded to these public health crises. Over the course of this semester our goals will be twofold: first, through lectures, discussions, and films, to study these issues in a deep historical and global context with the goal of understanding how studying the history of disease informs our contemporary understanding of public health. Second, we will emphasize how pandemics have been remembered (or forgotten) to engage the critical question of how history has (or has not) influenced our response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Lecture: 35370 

Time: W 12:45 PM -- 03:30 PM 

Room:  TBA 

Instructor: Flannigan,Laura 

 

In the early modern period England experienced a ‘reading revolution’, it has been said. The trade in personalised manuscript books of poetry and prose was at its height. The invention of the printing press made knowledge and ideas about politics, religion and the wider world more widely accessible. Literacy rates rose, and long-existing oral means of communication intersected with new, written forms. Was this, as some historians and sociologists have argued, the beginning of a true ‘public sphere’ in English (and Western) history? 


In this advanced-level seminar, students will explore changing cultures of reading and writing in early modern England, between 1450 and 1650. They will be introduced to the study of manuscripts, books, and reading in the premodern past. The course will be divided into forms or contexts of reading and writing: in the home, where knowledge was ‘domesticated’ and created through the purchasing of guidebooks and the creation of personal notes; in the public, discursive world of pamphlet culture, where everything from theological doctrine to the qualities of the king were debated; and in the wider world, with scientific and geographical discoveries from Europe and beyond making their way into English bookshops. Using a range of online resources and the Thompson Library’s Special Collections and Rare Books and Manuscript Library, students will develop an independent research project on these themes.  

Prereq or concur: English 1110.xx, a grade of C or above in History 2800, and any 3000-level History course; or permission of instructor.

Course Description: Studies in Medieval History: Medieval Women's History

Lecture: 36418

Time: R 12:45 pm– 3:30 pm 

Room: Journalism Bldg 295

Instructor: Tanner, Heather

 

This course examines the rich and varied traditions surrounding women in medieval European cultures—and explores how and why those traditions evolved over time. From the foundations of Roman law and medieval medicine to the powerful influence of Christian scripture, ideas about women in this era were anything but uniform. While Christian ideals formed a common thread across Europe, how those ideals were interpreted, enforced, and lived varied widely from one region to another. Through close readings of primary sources and scholarly articles, we’ll dig into the cultural forces that shaped these differences—examining how women’s roles and status were influenced by marriage customs, inheritance laws, literature, and religious practices. A central focus of the course is female agency and their roles in governance, religious life, and the economy.

Course Assignments will include: leading one class session; weekly written responses to the assigned reading; and a final historiographical essay.

This course examines the history of Western Art (architecture, painting and sculpture) from the third millennium BCE through the fifteenth century CE. Rather than a complete “survey” of that period, the course will concentrate its attention on a select group of representative monuments. We will examine not only the monuments themselves, but also the historical context in which they were produced in order to explore their purpose and the way that they functioned. There will be a strong emphasis on visual analysis and understanding how visual forms convey meaning and relate to the viewer. Our goal is to impart not only a body of knowledge but also a set of critical tools, which you should be able to apply to even material not specifically covered in this course.

This course examines the art of Europe and the United States from about 1400 to the present, with an emphasis on developments in painting. Rather than a traditional survey of that period, the course will concentrate on a select group of representative works that shaped—and were shaped by — Western social, political, economic, and intellectual history. There will be a strong emphasis, too, on questions of analysis and interpretation —including, in some cases, the changing history of the artworks’ reception. The goal will be to impart not only a body of knowledge but also a set of critical tools, including visual literacy, that students will be able to apply to a wide range of material not specifically covered in the course.

Room:  024 Derby Hall 

Instructor: Slater, Hannah Lynn 

 

This course offers an introduction to the visual arts in East Asia, from the Neolithic Period up to today. By looking at a selection of artworks from across a wide field, students will gain an appreciation for, and understanding of, artistic practices and traditions from China, Korea, and Japan, as well as neighboring regions Tibet and Taiwan. This course examines major artistic and cultural developments within each region but also considers how these areas influence one another cross-culturally, emphasizing moments of encounter and exchange. Students will look at ceramics, bronzes, paintings, sculpture, textiles, architecture, prints, and photographs, in order to historically analyze how art from China, Japan, and Korea informs the way we see, engage with, and think about each of these places, and even the idea of East Asia in general. Students will gain well-rounded knowledge of Art and Visual Culture in East Asia by practicing close looking, close reading, critical thinking, and by making informed interpretations. This course is organized through a series of in-class lectures, discussions, online assignments, and in-class activities.

Session 2 Course 

 

This course offers an introduction to the intersectional study of European Art, exploring the intertwining ideologies of gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity from the Ancient Mediterranean World to the present. We will see that the ways artworks impact and construct ideas and stereotypes about gender, race, and sexuality in the modern world are deeply influenced by their development in premodern history. Topics to be explored include the ways in which ideas about gender roles and identities are shaped by artworks; the gendered contexts of artistic production; gendered practices of viewing works of art; the changing status of female and non-white artists and patrons in Europe; the way people of color were depicted in premodern European art; and queer and transgender artists and artworks. We will investigate the ways in which works of art enforced particular codes of behavior for people of different genders and races, but also how works of art served as sites of resistance to such roles and stereotypes, and as a place where individual identities were negotiated and portrayed. We will explore both famous works of European art and also lesser-known paintings, sculptures, buildings, and objects of visual culture.

Instructor: Adams, Kristen Irvine 

 

This course explores the visual culture of northern Europe between about 1380 and 1585, a period impacted by plagues, war, and religious upheaval. Discussions will center on the themes of the role visual images play in spiritual practice; how the Protestant Reformation irrevocably altered art and its production and function; the impact of aristocratic courts and the rise of the art market; artistic innovations and new technologies, and the rise of the status of the artist during this transformative period in European history. Some works will be examined in great detail to consider the kinds of effective visual strategies they employed to engage the viewer and fulfill particular functions; others will be considered primarily as exemplifying types of responses to and engagement with a rapidly changing world. In all cases, the purpose will be to explore the ways that images are constructed to convey meaning and affect the viewer and to consider how they participate in shaping religious, social, and cultural values and/or constructing individual and community identity.

This course explores the rich and varied artistic practices of art in Japan starting with the Neolithic Period and ending with the start of the Meiji Period in 1868. Through close examination of ceramics, architecture, painting, textiles, and prints, students will interpret and critically engage with key works across a wide span of history, materials, and processes of making. Some of the topics students will look at in this course include the representation of foundational narratives, the visual culture of Shinto and Buddhism, the role of gender and patronage in court culture during the Heian Period (794-1185), the aesthetics surrounding the Shogun and the warrior class, and the global exchange of knowledge and the rise of popular art forms during the Edo Period (1603-1868). Reading assignments draw on a variety of sources such as primary texts, textbook excerpts, and scholarly articles. No prior experience in Art History, Japanese Art, or Japanese Language is necessary to be successful in this course.

Course Description: Studies in Medieval Art: Queer Materials 

Lecture: 34779 

Time: W 02:15 PM -- 05:00 PM 

Room:   

Instructor: Whittington, Karl Peter 

Seminar Class Type 

 

Materiality studies has emerged in the last 20 years as one of the most prominent methodologies in the study of pre-modern art across the globe. Much of the scholarship has focused on how people in different times and places understood the intrinsic properties of a range of natural and human-made materials. Different woods, pigments, stones, minerals, animals, and plants were understood to have particular spiritual, magical, astrological, alchemical, and material properties, and art historians have explored why certain materials were chosen for the production of particular historical objects and images. One of the key issues at stake was how these materials were believed to have been created, and how they in turn impacted the human bodies that interacted with them. Both of these questions necessarily raise issues of gender, creation, fertility, sexuality, and material transformation. In this seminar, we will explore the ways in which particular materials can be read through the lens of sexuality and queer studies. Each week we will explore a different material - parchment, gold, gemstones, mineral pigments, blood, ivory, water, wax, pearls, wood, and others - in order to probe the stakes of gender and sexuality in how these materials were understood to have been formed, how they could be transformed by artists, and how they impacted their viewers. The majority of the class will focus on Medieval and Early Modern European art, but readings and case studies will touch on premodern visual and material culture across the globe.

Instructor: Combs-Schilling, Jonathan David 

 

Knights of the Round Table, Amazon warriors, wild-west gunslingers, intergalactic Jedi—these heroic archetypes are linked by the narrative strategy of "romance." In this course, students will learn about the nature, origins and afterlives of a key chapter in its history—medieval and renaissance Italian romance—and investigate the enduring influence of romance narrative on how stories are told and communities are represented today. 

We will begin with its classical and medieval roots (Homer’s Odyssey; Chretien de Troyes’ Yvain) and a few contemporary works that, like Monty Python’s Holy Grail, satirize the genre to become familiar with its conventions. We will then read medieval and renaissance “classics” of the genre, before turning to recent stories shaped by romance, from historical spy novels to Star Wars movies.

Lecture: 37031

Room:  Timashev Building N310

Instructor: Boone, Graeme

 

This course provides an introduction to the advanced study of historical musicology through the lens of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance music. The approach will necessarily be topical rather than comprehensive, reading scholarship and studying all kinds of primary sources on a limited number of research topics, which serve to evoke broader music-historical panoramas. Most often, students in the course will have already taken an introductory survey course in medieval and Renaissance music, but it is understood that different students will have different kinds and levels of understanding, and that many students will not consider early music to be a focus for their future research careers. Music 7740 will therefore help students to anchor, as well as develop, their understanding of this essential arena of musicological scholarship.
