4 General Education Electives Description Lakeshore Campus MODULE H (WEDNESDAY 8:05 10:45) ENGL 048: VOICES FROM THE UNDERGROUND: THE ALIENATED SELF IN MODERN LITERATURE This course will explore the alienation and fragmentation of the modern self as it is presented in four darkly fascinating works of fiction: Fyodor Dostoevsky s Notes from Underground, Yukio Mishima s The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Franz Kafka s Metamorphosis and Other Stories, and Patricia Highsmith s The Talented Mr. Ripley. The novels and stories studied in this course depict a diverse collection of outsiders whose narratives and voices originating from both the margins of society and the depths and divisions of the human psyche emerge from underground: an ingenious rant against the rise of reason produced by the conflicted mind of a mad Russian narrator; a young Japanese monk s pathological, destructive, and all-consuming obsession with the beauty of a Zen Buddhist Temple; a young man s sudden and alienating transformation into a monstrous insect; and, finally, the disturbing machinations of the now popularized psychopath and killer, Tom Ripley. These works of art represent the self as it is pushed to extreme limits to the brink of destruction, transformation, and possibly redemption and are revelatory of both the conditions of modern existence and the nature of the self more generally. The theme of alienation will be examined in a variety of modes, with a focus on the relationship of self-alienation and interior conflict to social alienation and its causes (i.e. race, class, sexuality, religion). HIST 017: HISTORY OF WAR No other human activity has had a greater impact on world history than war. By waging war, nations have risen to positions of global dominance; as victims of war, not only nations but also entire civilizations have been crippled, if not exterminated. Wars disrupt trade, destroy transportation and communications networks, and spread death and disease. Yet at the same time, wars have led to economic growth, transportation and communications revolutions, and advances in science and medicine. Not surprisingly, culture--novels and poems; film, theatre and music; philosophy and political theory--has had a love/hate relationship with this most brutal, most human of phenomenon. Surveying the history of warfare from Classical Antiquity to the Nuclear Age, this course will examine how and why wars have been waged; who has suffered or benefited from war, and why; and what the future holds for those who fight it, and those who suffer by it, as warfare enters the twenty-first century. HUMA 029: MUSICAL PIONEERS Students in the Music Program cannot take this course. A music background is not necessary to take this course. This course focuses on the life, time, and style of some of the major innovative figures from the 18 th century to the present. The musicians covered include a mixture of Classical composers (Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Stravinsky, Copland), Jazz musicians (Ellington, Armstrong, and others), and Popular/Rock musicians (from the Beatles to more recent significant groups/performers). The course will present pertinent biographical and musical information about these musicians with a view toward why and how they are considered pioneers. Appropriate articles, videos, and recordings will supplement the course. From the rich diversity of musicians and musical styles, we will discuss their careers, evaluate their significance, and hear their music. HUMA 045: THE BODY: BEAUTY, SEX & CONSUMERISM What is a "normal" body? What makes a body beautiful or desirable? Newspapers, Magazines, TV, Movies, and the Internet all saturate us with images of perfect bodies, sexy bodies, bodies that sell products but how have these ideals changed over time? By using the body as text, HUMA 045 attempts to get under history s skin. Interdisciplinary in approach, we analyze how science, medicine, fashion and commerce help to invent and cement our perceptions of the body. How are our basic assumptions about sex, gender, race, health, and disability challenged if the "naturalness" of the body itself is questioned? How have technology and consumerism shaped and reshaped traditional notions of the female and male body? Together we will unpack how what we take for granted as natural or common sense is often not as instinctual, logical, or unbiased as we often credit it. 4

5 PSYC 001: PSYCHOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION Students who have taken PSYC 008, PSYC 105 or are in the Early Childhood Education Program CANNOT take this course. How many times in the course of a day do we wonder about human behaviour? We shake our heads and ask why the person in the car ahead of us cut us off. We ask why it is that the person sitting beside us has his/her nose pierced. We try to explain why our boss blew up at a co-worker over an insignificant issue. We question the motives for our own actions. In the course of day it seems that we are challenged over and over again to explain the behaviour of those around us and indeed ourselves. Most often we do so using common sense, based on our limited experience, our socialization and our own biases. Psychology is the field of study that examines human behaviour scientifically. This course will introduce the student to psychological theories and a variety of psychological research topics, including the biological bases of behaviour, learning and memory, psychopathology, social attitudes and behaviour. Students will be encouraged to be introspective and to apply what they learn to their personal behaviour in order to gain a better understanding of themselves and others. SOCI 033: SOCIOLOGY OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCES Why do we laugh at stereotypes? Where do our stereotypes come from? Do teachers stream students based on race? Is multiculturalism segregating Canadians into ethnic enclaves? Do we need black-focused schools? Why do youth want to look gangsta? These are some of the questions we will examine in Sociology of Cultural Difference. Moving from theoretical perspectives on race, ethnicity, culture and stereotyping, this course takes students into a range of contemporary settings, from Hollywood to Bollywood, artist studios to courtrooms, schools to fashion runways, television to immigrant neighbourhoods. We will explore how notions of race, ethnicity, cultural difference, and stereotyping function, shaping our everyday life and the world around us. Using readings, videos, images, films, and other materials, we will question our own preconceptions and assumptions of key notions that pertain to cultural differences, such as race, ethnicity, whiteness, stereotypes, the exotic, beauty ideals, colonialism and multiculturalism. We will analyze and discuss how these notions permeate our popular culture, be it ethnic comedies, reality TV programs, fashion trends, visual art, or crossover Bollywood hits. We will also apply sociological perspectives on race, ethnicity, culture, and difference to recent debates about faith-based and black-focused schools, racial profiling, high school dropout rates, and ethnically-segregated neighbourhoods. 5
