OPEN ROMANCE STUDIES COURSES ~ FALL 2014 FRENCH 89S-1 First-Year Seminar:

The French Difference

Prof. Solterer TTH 11:45-01:00 What explains the cachet of French culture and thought? This seminar will investigate 3 key models that distinguish the arts de vivre across the French-speaking world. Lingua Franca: Why create a myth of a universal language? We’ll explore the dream to unite people through language, the conflicts and illusions it spawned through the creative writing it generated world-wide.

Courtoisie, Libertinage: What defines the various codes of love: those that made it romantic and courtly, an artful form of social order, a declaration of free desire? We’ll study the legacies of these codes through the Tristan romance, the scandalous Liaisons Dangereuses of Choderlos de Laclos (extracts of letter-novel and film), and Duras’s novel of illicit cross-cultural passion, L’Amant.

Combat: Occupy, strike, demonstrate: how does such public action express equality powerfully in real and symbolic terms? We’ll inquire into the history of protest by studying Zola’s Germinal, Sembène’s Le Docker noir [film], as well as songs and poetry from the long tradition of student movements. Conducted in French, this seminar will initiate students into thinking critically in French, and help to strengthen both written and spoken expression. ALP CZ CCI FL

ITALIAN 327S

Prof. Cangiano MW 3:05-04:20 The aim of this course is to investigate the role and stance of Italian intellectuals with respect to three military conflicts that have shaped the history of modern Italy: the ‘Risorgimento’ (Italian unification), the First, and the Second World War. Through the analysis of literary and theoretical works, movies and first-person accounts, we will explore how the intellectuals have chronicled and influenced wars, but also how they have been shaped by armed conflicts.

Conducted in English. ALP CCI

FRENCH 590S

Récits de Voyage en Mediterranée: Travel and Writing in the Early Modern Mediterranean

Prof. Longino W 4:40-7:10 Has travel always meant the same thing? To all people? How do ports, islands, seas signify? This course will look at the early modern Mediterranean and focus on two areas of enquiry: that of the act of travel in general, and that of its inscription. We will follow seventeenth-century travelers around the Mediterranean, and examine through their writings—travel journals, correspondences, histories, fictions—what it meant to take to the sea in these times. Maps, trade agreements, diplomatic exchanges, language challenges, piracy, colonialist venturing, slavery and marriage will be some of the topics covered, under the broader rubric of early orientalism. We will work with visiting artist Barbara Weissberger on the concept and construction of travel journals, and will each make our own, under her expert guidance. Students should come away with a deepened appreciation of the act of travel, an understanding of its history, and a more nuanced vision of the French seventeenth century than that afforded by the traditional Versailles-centered account. In addition, they will have a heightened appreciation of the material object that a travel journal represents, the steps that go into its making, from idea to finish. Students should be proficient in French and comfortable reading original seventeenth-century texts. Seniors and graduate students are encouraged to enroll; others should request permission from the instructor or advisor.

Prof. Aidoo TTH 1:25-2:40 This course will examine key works in Brazilian and Lusophone African literatures and cinemas, while probing the challenges of writing post-coloniality. Readings will draw upon various theoretical perspectives to explore questions of colonialism, nation, violence, sexuality, urban space and gender.

The aim of this course, thus, is to provide students with a multidisciplinary engagement with these literatures and nations in attempt to conceptualize ideas and modes of expression that are rooted in these respective cultures. The bibliography for this course will be comprised of critical theory and various works from Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, São Tomé and Prinicipe.

Conducted in Portuguese. ALP CCI R

Prof. Furtado TTH 4:40-5:55 What constitutes a “political cinema”? Although there is no definitive answer to this question, Latin American filmmakers provide a variety of compelling possibilities. This course discusses major works of Latin American cinematography from the 1960s to the present, drawing examples from several Latin American countries but focusing specially on Brazil and Cuba. We will examine emblematic films in conjunction with manifestos and essays written by the filmmakers themselves as well as a selection of secondary texts that define and contextualize alternate versions of what constitutes a “political” cinema. The first part of the course examines the practices that emerged in the 1960s and came to be known as the “New Latin American Cinema.” We will explore the political thrust of key films from Cuba, Brazil and the Southern cone, the modes of production and distribution of so-called “guerrilla” films, and the politics of film language that inspires the experimentation of avant-garde aesthetics in both fictional and documentary works.

The second part of the course turns to contemporary cinema and discusses alternate forms of cinematic political praxis. Here we will look into the relationship between cinema and political memory, the politics of gender, race, and sexual orientation, and the representations of social problems in contemporary films, including blockbuster thrillers such as Elite Squad.

and

Prof. Furtado TTH 11:45-1:00 This introductory course, taught in Portuguese, examines several cases of dialogue between the audiovisual media and literature, including two adaptations of classic 19th century novels (by José de Alencar and Machado de Assis) for contemporary cinema and, in one case, for television. Our interest will not be in questions of fidelity between films and the literary originals but rather in the productive infidelity with which one form appropriates, interprets, and transform the narratives and themes of another. This is, for instance, the case of Iracema, an 1865 romantic, proto-nationalist novel that is reimagined in a 1974 film as a capitalist dystopia played out in the Transamazonian Highway at the peak of a military dictatorship. Contextually rich, the films and texts we will use will provide insights into Brazilian culture and society at key historical moments. Moreover, students will become aware of the specificities of literary and audiovisual languages and of the wealth of distinct possibilities that each medium affords.

ROMST 202 Imagining Europe Prof. Solterer TTH 3:05-4:20 Investigation of defining models of European culture and the fiction which has shaped them, from early modern epic and romance through contemporary essays, framed within the literary traditions of France, Portugal, Italy and Spain. Issues include multilingualism, cultural and political relations within and without Europe, development of financial systems.

Major authors will include Marco Polo, Khatibi, Chrétien de Troyes, Montesquieu, Balzac, Némirovsky, Semprún, Saramago.

World Masterpieces: Made in Italy

Prof. Eisner TTH 11:45-1:00 An introduction to the literary, artistic, musical, and cinematic masterpieces produced in Italy, from Dante’s Divine Comedy and the tales of human ingenuity in Boccaccio’s Decameron through Machiavelli’s The Prince and works by Michelangelo, Monteverdi, Galileo, Primo Levi, Rossellini, and Pasolini. What continues to attract readers to these works, often centuries after their original composition and how can they help us to reconsider contemporary questions about the cosmos, ethics, and art?

Students will engage these works directly to develop skills of literary and formal analysis, while also benefiting from several guest lectures by distinguished scholars both from Duke and other institutions. Preceptorial in Italian available for students desiring additional work and discussion in Italian. ALP CZ CCI R

Political Cinema in Latin America

SPANISH 432S

Hispanic Literature/Pop Culture

Prof. Sieburth TTH 4:40-5:55 The course focuses on characters in Spanish and Latin American literature and film who become obsessed with a form of popular culture and start to imitate heroes and plots from their favorite genres in real life. We start with Don Quijote, who read so many novels about knights and their adventures that he decided to take to the road in a suit of armor. And we end with Manuel Puig’s Kiss of the Spider Woman, where a homosexual and a Marxist guerrilla locked in a jail cell learn about each other as the former tells the latter the stories of six films in vivid detail.

We all imitate popular culture to some degree, whether it is in a hairstyle, in using a line from a movie on a date, or in the clothes we wear. This course will ask you to consider why real people might imitate, when that imitation might become intense and detailed, and whether intense engagement with popular culture is good or bad for us, or both. We will ask why our favorite TV shows are our favorites, and why there are others that we feel we would never watch. And, finally, we will explore whether popular culture can help people survive in times of catastrophe.

Taught in Spanish. Prerequisite: Spanish 331, 332, 333, 334, or 335. ALP CCI FL

From the Archives:

Aycock renamed following student leaders’ call for action After years of protest over its namesake, Aycock will be renamed East Residence Hall Emma Baccellieri News Editor Freshman dormitory Aycock will be renamed East Residence Hall, following years of protest over the building’s namesake—former North Carolina governor Charles Aycock, a prominent figure in the white supremacy movement in the early 1900s.

President Richard Brodhead announced the decision in a letter to student leaders Tuesday. The change was agreed on by the Board of Trustees’ executive committee at a meeting last Friday and comes six months after Duke Student Government passed a resolution supporting the renaming of the dormitory.

Representatives from DSG and the Black Student Alliance met with members of the administration to present a formal proposal for the name change.

“The building was named early in the twentieth century on one view of history, and that view of history no longer prevails,” Brodhead said. “Given the circumstances, it seems a good time to change the name.”

East Residence Hall was the original name of the dormitory, which opened in 1911 when Duke University was still Trinity College. One year later, however, the Board of Trustees decided to change the name to Aycock to honor the former governor, who was in office from 1901-1905.

Aycock had no clear ties to Trinity College, Brodhead noted—he was never a student or employee, and he did not ever donate to the institution.

The decision to name the building after Aycock is touched upon only briefly in the minutes of the Board of Trustees’ September 1912 meeting, and no explanation is given for the choice.

“The committee appointed for renaming the new buildings reported as follows: that the East Dormitory be named ‘Aycock Hall,’ in honor of ex-governor Charles Brantley Aycock,” the minutes read, as found in the University Archive.

Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for government relations and public affairs, noted that the name change is effective immediately—when the Class of 2018 receives their housing assignments later this week, East Residence Hall will be listed instead of Aycock for the first time in more than a century.

Responsible for opening and supporting hundreds of public schools, Aycock was known as the “Education Governor” and his name graces buildings at schools throughout the state—including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, East Carolina University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Aycock’s involvement with the white supremacy movement has garnered attention in recent years, sparking dialogue about his legacy, including his statue in the Capitol Building’s National Statuary Hall.

To ensure that the change is an educational one, a plaque detailing the history of the name will be placed in the entryway of the dormitory, Brodhead noted.

“We’ve given this careful thought. One argument is that history is history, and we can’t change it by erasing,” Brodhead said. “But I don’t regard this as an erasure.”

The resolution passed by DSG in January suggested that the building be renamed for Julian Abele, who designed much of West Campus and was one of the nation’s most prominent black architects in the early 1900s. The University ultimately decided against Abele being the namesake for a building that he did not design, Brodhead said.

“There might be the right circumstances to put his name on something at a future time,” Brodhead said of Abele.

WHAT WE’LL DO ABOUT IT: Promote, recognize, and reward both chivalrous behavior and deeper more respectful relationships across campus.

WHY WE’RE DOING IT: People complain about social culture at Duke, but either no one does anything about it,or if they have, it hasn’t worked. We’re going to change that through society events, education, recognition of chivalrous and respectful actions across campus, and by rewarding select individuals for being role models of what we believe in.

HOW WE’LL DO IT: Discuss our values and create a community of Duke Students who believe: • We will choose the harder right over the easier wrong • We will be strong enough to be guided by our hearts and heads, not by the whims of, nor for the acceptance of those around us • We will be the men and women that would make our families proud • We will provide aid to, rather than take advantage of, those in need of help • We will follow the Diamond Rule of treating ourselves as we want others to treat us • We will make deposits in peoples’ emotional bank accounts and not expect anything in return • We believe that the reward for a job well done is to have done it • We know our reputations are built through many interactions but can be ruined by one • We know that we are free to choose our actions but not to choose our consequences • We know that we can’t talk our way out of what we’ve behaved ourselves into • We know that being faithful in love and loyal in friendship can lead us to happiness.

Summer’s Hottest Compiled by Georgia Parke

Duke at the World Cup

Construction update

Decades of work by Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, co-director of the Duke Center for Neuroengineering, came to fruition on a global stage this summer in Brazil. Nicolelis and his team from Duke revealed a brain-controlled robotic exoskeleton that allowed a 29-year-old paraplegic to walk at the World Cup opening ceremony and make the first kick of the tournament.

The main entrance to Perkins Library shut down this summer to allow for renovations to the area, the final stage of a remodeling to the Library that started in 2000. Major work was done on Rubenstein Library as well as Bostock Library, whose first floor is being renovated into the Edge—a space for interdisciplinary and team-based research. A significant amount of roadwork was completed this summer as well, with the Chapel Drive traffic circle remade into a smaller size and shape to better accommodate buses. A large part of Campus Drive was closed off for installation of chilled water piping, diverting bus routes for the summer, and reopened to traffic Aug. 15.

Maya Angelou passes away Author and poet Maya Angelou died at her home in Winston-Salem in May the age of 86. Angelou spoke to Duke’s freshman class during orientation week for 24 years beginning in 1989—using her address to the freshman classes to discuss the value of education, racial issues and the importance of humility, among other topics. She was first invited to Duke as part of a program called “A Vision for Duke,” an orientation effort to expand students’ multicultural awareness and respect for all people.

Aycock renamed

COME SING!

OPEN REHEARSALS & AUDITIONS

Chapel Choir

Duke Chorale

Freshman dormitory Aycock was renamed East Residence Hall in June following years of protest by student activists over the building’s namesake, former North Carolina governor Charles Aycock. Aycock was a prominent figure in the white supremacy movement in the early 1900s and had no known connections to Trinity College.

East Residence Hall was the original name of the building before it was renamed for Aycock in 1911. The name change became effective immediately, making the class of 2018 the first to live under the name “East” in more than 100 years.

Donations hit record high For the second consecutive year, Duke received a record amount of philanthropic donations. The University was the recipient of $441.8 million in the 2013-14 fiscal year, which ended June 30—a 7.5 percent increase from last year.

This summer, the University received two major donations from alumni. In June, J. Michael and Christine Pearson—Pratt ’81 and Nursing ’84, respectively—gave $30 million to fund interdisciplinary studies in the Pratt School of Engineering. In July, Grant Hill and his wife Tamia donated $1.25 million to Duke. Hill was a member of Duke’s national championship teams in 1991 and 1992 and went on to a 20-year career in the NBA.

Headlines: Student sues University in response to expulsion for sexual assault Lewis McLeod, who entered Duke as a part of the Class of 2014, sued the University after being expelled for committing an alleged sexual assault against a female freshman in November 2013. McLeod cannot start the job he had lined up on Wall Street without receiving his diploma, and as an Australian citizen his future in the U.S. in uncertain without a job or student visa. Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith ruled on the preliminary injunction that McLeod cannot receive his diploma without a trial but that his expulsion cannot be made official. The trial will begin in early 2015.

Kunshan campus to open to students Duke Kunshan University in China will hold its first week of graduate and undergraduate classes next week, three years after its initial expected launch date. One building—a conference center—has been completed, and construction will continue on the rest of the campus throughout the semester.

Lovette found not guilty Laurence Lovette was found not guilty of the 2008 murder of Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato. Mahato, 29 at the time of his death, was shot and killed in January 2008 in his apartment on Anderson Street. Lovette was arrested two months later and charged with armed robbery and first-degree murder. Lovette is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Eve Carson, a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill senior and student body president who was killed in March 2008.

Interested in joining The Chronicle?

What if I don’t like writing?

You don’t need to write to work at The Chronicle.

Roughly half our staff works in visual or technical departments that do not entail writing articles.

Whether it’s photography, online and print design, programming or multimedia, you don’t need to write articles to contribute at The Chronicle.

Do you have an application process?

With the exception of the editorial board and biweekly columnist positions, there are no applications necessary to begin working at The Chronicle. Whether you want to write articles, take photos or video, design the website or print edition, all you need is interest.

Prior experience in any of these areas is more than welcome, but we train you and work with you in any area you might pursue at The Chronicle.

Eventually, after developing some experience in a certain area, you are welcome to apply for staff positions, such as a staff writer within the News section.

Do you only take people with certain majors or interests?

Absolutely not. Our staff spans every major from the humanities and social sciences to engineering. We have some graduate students on our staff as well. Certain areas, such as web programming, may draw students with more technical backgrounds or interests, but we are open to all students across the University.

What’s the time commitment like?

Broadly speaking, the time commitment is what you’re comfortable putting in based on your schedule.

Please refer to the department descriptions to get a a more specific idea. Starting out in any department will likely take a few hours per week when you take assignments. If you take on a staff position, you are expected to contribute a certain amount of work, but the decision to do that comes with some experience and time at The Chronicle.

Can I work in multiple departments?

Definitely. If you’re starting out, it’s worth trying out different departments to see what you like. If you eventually decide to apply for staff positions with regular commitments, you may find it harder to balance across departments. That being said, many staff members have worked across multiple departments, and their editors worked with them to balance their interests. You should know that, if you are interested in writing for News, Sports or Recess, you cannot write for the Opinion section.

What if I don’t want to go into journalism as a career?

We have numerous current students and graduates who were journalists at The Chronicle but did not pursue journalism as a profession. Their career paths run the gamut from law and medicine to education, engineering, finance, consulting, the arts and other fields. Many staff members find that the communication, leadership, research and critical thinking skills they developed can carry over to any profession.

Of course, if you want to pursue journalism as a career, we have plenty of alumni at Bloomberg, USA Today, ESPN, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, among others. They, along with our alumni in other professions, can provide career advice and guidance.

The Chronicle also maintains relationships with several leading state and national organizations, including Bloomberg, to help secure summer internships for qualified staffers.

Can I join later on during the academic year or during my time at Duke?

Absolutely. Although we may not have formal info sessions or open houses, feel free to email recruitment@ dukechronicle.com for more information at any point during the year.

Join The Chronicle by emailing recruitment@dukechronicle.com.
