FYS I: The Places You'll Go	1001 (003)	Peter Thomas	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description This writing course emphasizes close reading of texts, critical thinking, and the analysis of problems and concepts arising in works about travel experiences through the writing of essays. We will use the writing process as a means to achieving insight, and students will be asked to employ brainstorming, freewriting, drafting, outlining, re-writing, revising, and editing. Throughout the term, students will be asked to reflect on their development as they establish their own writing process that will enable them to develop new understandings and clearly communicate them in essays for this course and beyond. Writer Pico Iyer says, ¿We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves.¿ New places are alluring. New places are disruptive. In this course, we¿ll read accounts of those who ventured to distant lands and discovered new territories within themselves. We will read the likes of Langston Hughes, Bernard Cooper, Jamaica Kincaid, Flannery O¿Connor, George Orwell, Susan Sontag, and others, as we see what these writers found when they lost themselves abroad. Students will join the well-traveled, too, as they write about a not-usual place, even if it¿s right here in Chicago. In addition to short writing assignments and in-class journals, students should expect to write and revise 4 essays totaling 15-20 pages of formal prose.

Students move between two- and three-dimensional representation, developing robust skills for design drawing. Typically the course will review the work of architects and designers throughout the history of architecture representation. Readings will vary and focus will be concentrated on understanding and putting into practice the mechanisms of drawing. Course work consists of building techniques and practice of drawing. Classes will develop incremental skills through assignments and projects that culminate into complex drawings and representations. This course requires students to have a laptop that meets SAIC's minimum hardware specs and runs the AIADO template.

FYSe:Near-Death Experiences	1002 (002)	Peter Thomas	Mon 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description This writing course emphasizes close reading of texts, critical thinking, and the analysis of problems and concepts arising in works about near-death experiences through the writing of essays. We will use the writing process as a means to achieving insight, and students will be asked to employ brainstorming, freewriting, drafting, outlining, re-writing, revising, and editing. Throughout the term, students will be asked to reflect on their development as they establish their own writing process that will enable them to develop new understandings and clearly communicate them in essays for this course and beyond. Some of us have had a near-death experience in which our survival felt in doubt. Almost all of us have had nearness-to-death experiences in which we glimpse the passing of some other person or creature and must contend with death?s significance. In this course, we?ll study short works that explore what nearness to mortality reveals to us. We?ll read Virginia Woolf, Tim O?Brien, Annie Dillard, Lu Hsun, Tobias Woolf, Wole Soyinka, and Nancy Mairs, among others, as we examine how death?s presence has impacted these writers in unanticipated ways. Students should expect to write and revise 3 major essays in addition to short writing assignments, totaling 15-20 pages of formal prose.

FYSe: Film Noir and Genre	1002 (003)	Jacob A Hinkson	Tues 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description In this writing intensive course, we will develop the skills of argument-driven writing as we examine film noir and the question of genre. What does it mean to look at a series of disparate cinematic texts as examples of the same textual category? Is ¿film noir¿ best defined by a pattern of visual motifs? Can the genre be better characterized by the repetition of various story structures, themes, and character archetypes? Or is ¿film noir¿ (and perhaps ¿genre¿ itself) a categorizing term which has outlived its usefulness as a way of understanding individual film texts? Students will explore these questions through an examination of three key films: The Big Sleep (1946), The Reckless Moment (1949), Devil in a Blue Dress (1995), and The Deep End (2001). Readings will include critical works by Raymond Borde, Étienne Cahumeton, Janey Place, Megan Abbott, and Joan Copjec. These materials will inform multiple argument-driven essays students will draft and revise over the course of the semester. In composing these essays, students will study thesis formation, rhetorical modes, and ways to incorporate sources into evidence-based arguments.

Description FYS (EIS) are theme-based writing courses designed for first-year international students who have successfully completed their English for International Students Fluency course, with an emphasis on teaching Academic English skills to English Language Learners. Students will improve their Academic English skills by learning to embrace the writing process and establish writerly habits, while developing guided critical reading, thinking, and writing skills necessary for their success in future course work at SAIC. FYS (EIS) sections offer different topics. For example, students may investigate modern and contemporary art movements or analyze popular visual culture or media. While faculty have autonomy in determining course theme, the theme is an accessory to the writing; the balance in these classes is weighed toward explicit writing instruction and workshopping of student writing, not content. This course provides guided experience in writing college-level essays of various kinds. Students investigate the class topic through close readings and class discussions. They explore and develop their ideas by writing short responses and longer multi-draft papers which may include analytical, argumentative, expository, and/or evaluative essays. A significant amount of time is devoted to the craft of writing. Grammatical and organizational strategies, argumentation, and skills in thesis/claim and idea development are explored. Students should expect to write 15-20 pages of formal, revisable writing across the course of the semester. A significant amount of time may be devoted to re-writing essays, so as to develop first drafts into final versions. In-class writing and short homework exercises may be included. Through peer review and workshops, students learn to collaborate and to take their work, and the work of their peers seriously, thereby establishing best practices of critique. Classes are capped at 12 students and individual meetings to discuss each student's papers should be expected.

Potting for Pleasure and Protest	1005 (001)	Javier Jasso	Thurs 3:30 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description This intro course will allow students to build upon and deconstruct our preconceived notions of what a 'pot' is. Can a pot be a subversive act of defiance? Can it express pleasure, grief or discomfort? We will explore what a pot can say and do beyond mere function. Investigating materiality, process, and conceptual frameworks the pot will serve as a form through which we?ll unpack issues ranging from the primordial to the celestial. Students will learn technical ceramic processes while examining the histories, practices, and conceptual potentialities of the vessel. We will look at artists who employ the vessel in their practice in a critical, subversive, personal and humorous ways. Some of the artists include Rubi Neri, Betty Woodman, Kathy Butterly, Theaster Gates, Sahar Khouri, Bari Ziperstein and more. Readings will include excerpts from ?Documents of Contemporary Art: CRAFT? and authors such as Glen Adamson, Edmund de Waal and Tanya Harrod. Students should expect to produce a body of work consisting of assigned and self directed projects to be presented in a culminating midterm and final critique.

FYS II: Americana Music	1005 (001)	Andrew Lindsay	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description ¿Genre¿ and tradition in music are nebulous terms, yet we can¿t escape them. Examining these genre distinctions consistently reveals two things - the history and tradition that helped birth the genre ¿category,¿ and the web of influences between genres that make such distinctions unstable. Nowhere is this ¿instability¿ more apparent than in American music, a country whose relatively young socio-political history makes the notion of ¿tradition¿ especially complicated. ¿Americana¿ is an overarching term to describe a variety of American musics, in an attempt to smooth over some of the complicated relationship between genre and tradition. One thing we will explore in this course is the effectiveness of that endeavor. Complicated spaces, of course, are fertile ground for argument, and that is the primary skill we will practice in this course. We begin with short writing assignments that force students to make arguments about our texts. Our class discussion allows us to workshop these claims, and we write larger papers that demonstrate the ability to take greater risks with our theses. In this course we will focus on the core skills of reading and writing, preparing us for all our future coursework at SAIC. Students learn to make nuanced observations about the texts we study, observations which form the basis for the argumentative papers we write. This course will focus on artists representative of the various genres said to populate Americana music. Special attention, however, will be paid to those artists who trouble the genre definitions, such as the Staple Singers, Gillian Welch, and Sturgill Simpson. Assignments consist of informal, observational journals, short papers and a larger Final Paper at the end of the course. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II:Romantic Fairy Tales	1005 (002)	Irina Ruvinsky	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Please confirm/update desc: Unlike traditional folk fairy tales, intended primarily for children, the German Romantic Kunstmärchen (literary fairy tales) were written for an audience of adults. German Romantic philosophers, who believed in Nature as an ideal and the primacy of the individual creative imagination, saw the fairy tale as the perfect medium for the expression of these ideas. The timeless, mythical qualities of the fairy tale were seen by these thinkers as a way to bring the realm of the supernatural to earth, making the irrational and the magical part of our everyday existence. Unlike the traditional fairy tales, in which everyone lives happily ever after, the Märchen emphasizes the struggle between negative and positive forces in which death and disaster often prevail and man is caught in the tragic dichotomy between the real and the ideal. In this course we will explore these and other themes by reading the works by such authors as Novalis, L. Tieck, E.T.A Hoffman and Kafka. Students should expect to write 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing, in addition to homework exercises and in-class writing. FYS II will build upon the foundational writing skills students began learning in FYS I, with the introduction of more rigorous argumentation and research. Eventually, writing will be more self-directed in this FYS II class. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.	Class Number 1326	Credits 3	Department Liberal Arts Location Lakeview - 206
FYS II:Life Account	1005 (003)	Suman Chhabra	Wed 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description In our creative practices we take our lives into account. You determine the format to share your story. In this course we will read different forms of autobiography: graphic novels, memoirs, essays, poetry, and journals. We will look at the various creative forms writers use to convey information about their lives, discuss why we make artwork about ourselves, and study how each form connects with readers. Though we will read about individual experiences, we will consider their impact on the collective. Readings often include works by Ocean Vuong, Trevor Noah, Diana Khoi Nguyen, EJ Koh, and Kazim Ali among others. In our FYS II course, we will develop our critical reading, writing, and thinking skills. This is a studio writing class in which we will focus on writing as a process. We will freewrite, formulate conceptual questions for the readings, write responses, and compose and revise 20-25 pages in multidraft essays. FYS II develops college-level writing skills, prepares one for upper-level Liberal Arts courses, and allows one to improve expressing their ideas in writing. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II:Monsters & Colonization	1005 (005)	Michael R. Paradiso-Michau	Thurs 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description FYS 2 provides continued guided experience in college-level writing, thereby forming the necessary foundation for upper level Liberal Arts classes. The phrase 'illegal alien' is used by various politicians and commentators, but what does it really mean? What does it literally mean? What is it assuming? What does it entail? Together we will read, write, think, and discuss the ways in which contemporary media imagines 'the Other,' in particular our enduring legacy of colonial and neocolonial attitudes and behaviors. We will also study the metaphors that extraterrestrial alien cinema present, in terms of settler colonialism and its aftermath. Readings and screenings will include science fiction and horror films, documentaries, primary autobiographical narrative, and critical scholarship on these topics. Students should expect to write 15 to 20 pages of formal, revisable writing (i.e. two essays and one in-depth revision) in addition to homework exercises and in-class writing.

FYS II: Claire Denis	1005 (008)	Annette Elliot-Hogg	Thurs 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description ¿One night many years ago, a French family was driving through the North Region of Cameroon when they ran out of gas. As they scrambled to refill the tank, the car was surrounded by a pride of lions. To protect their young daughter, the parents locked her in a metal trunk. The animals circled the vehicle continuously, and to distract herself from danger the girl repeated her own name.¿ Contemporary French director Claire Denis blurs the boundaries between dream and reality. In films such as Chocolat (1988), Beau Travail (1999) and White Material (2009), she constructs a tenuous world in the aftermath of European colonialism. In FYSII, we will expand our critical reading, writing and thinking skills. We will develop a vocabulary of forms¿camera movement, cutting and composition¿to understand the sensory experience of a work of art. We will write two critical essays (20 to 25 pages of formal writing), which will be workshopped in class and revised. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Past, Present, & Future Chicago	1005 (009)	Joshua Rios	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description ¿Past, Present, and Future Chicago¿ examines the complex and layered histories of Chicago through the cultural lenses of literature, art, music, public space, and architecture. It actively presents the city as a place where various social groups have migrated, lived in proximity, struggled for equality and resources, as well protested, celebrated, and produced art and culture. Some events this class engages include the establishment of the city through the Chicago Treaty of 1833, the Great Migration of the early 1900s, post-industrialization, the formation of historic neighborhoods (Pilsen, Lawndale, Chinatown), and the rise of House and electronic music. We will conduct periodic field trips throughout the city to enhance our readings, research, and experience-based understanding of Chicago¿s ever-present histories. Relevant artists, writers, and activists include Gwendoline Brooks (poet), Gordon Parks (photographer), Amanda Williams (architect/artist), and Frankie Knuckles (DJ), among others. FYS II builds upon the foundational writing skills students began learning in FYS I, with the introduction of more self-directed rigorous argumentation and research. Students should expect to write 20 to 25 pages of formal, revisable writing (one experiential essay and one research project, both with multiple drafts), as well as homework exercises and in-class writing. Furthermore, peer review, class workshopping of student papers, and individual meetings to discuss each student's writing should be expected. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Recreation & Play	1005 (010)	Raghav Rao	Mon 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Discretionary time is time that is not constrained by the necessities of life. It is the domain of recreation and play. This class invites students to critically engage with modes of recreation: hobbies, games, outdoor activities, media consumption, creative pursuits, and vice. Through texts and discussion, students will inquire into how society produces and is produced by its modes of recreation, and how social relations are impacted through its dynamics. They will also bring greater attention to themselves and the values undergirding their personal modes of recreation. The focus of this class is to help students develop the skills required to perform academic research. Students will learn how to propose lines of inquiry, shortlist and interrogate sources, reference sources, and synthesize material. Ultimately, the final project for the class will be a high-quality research paper. Over the course of the semester, in total, students will be expected to produce 20-25 pages of material. Texts for the class include Diane Ackerman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Tricia Hersey, Priya Parker. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II:Magical Realism	1005 (011)	Irina Ruvinsky	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description In this class we will read a selection of magical realist narratives ranging from Gogol to Marquez to understand major forms and conventions that have distinguished this literary genre. We will examine twentieth-century magical realism in light of its reaction to nineteenth century realism and post-colonialism. While it is true that Latin American authors have contributed much of the theoretical conceptualization and fictional expression of magical realism in its present form, in this course we will we will treat this genre as a cross-cultural phenomenon by focusing on works of Russian and Latin American literatures. We will turn to the tradition of Russian magical Realism starting with Gogol, Nabokov and Bulgakov as well as Latin American authors including Marques and Borges. We will also read essays by philosophers who analyzed Magical Realist literature like J.P. Sartre. In this course you will be asked to submit 3 analytical/persuasive papers 5-6pages in length (not including drafts). You will be asked to prepare a paragraph stating a claim for 3 in-class writing workshops and learn how to make persuasive arguments that are supported by textual evidence and arrive at a significant conclusion. You will meet with the instructor individually before each paper to work on your draft in person. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Certainty and Mind	1005 (013)	Guy Elgat	Tues 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This course serves as an introduction to philosophy through an exploration of some of its basic questions. Specifically, through a reading of two chapters from Descartes¿ Meditations the course will address questions that fall under the following headings: 1: Epistemology: What is knowledge? What are the sources of knowledge? What is philosophical skepticism about knowledge? What can be known with certainty? 2: Mind and Self: What is mind and how is it distinct from matter? What is consciousness? The course is writing intensive: students should expect to write 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing, including the research paper.

FYS II:Identity:Ind/Cult/Soc	1005 (015)	Christine M Malcom	Thurs 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description Identity is a contested social field where internal notions war with external labels. In this class, we examine identity from a four-field anthropological perspective We explore the social nature of the human species, examine how the performance of language unites individuals and distinguishes groups, and discuss the problematic notion of bounded cultures and their reification in classic and contemporary ethnography and in archaeological writings.

FYS II: Subversion: Intro to Postcolonial Theory	1005 (016)	Steven Reinhart	Tues 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description How can we think about a world today that exists within the long shadows of histories of colonial extraction, violence, and racism? How does history shape the languages and categories through which we feel, speak, think, and act? What is the nature of power, and what happens to power when the one who exercises it to dominate others disappears from direct view? What does it mean to be free, or to decolonize a world or a mind? These are the kinds of questions out of which 'postcolonial theory' developed. In this writing-intensive seminar, we will begin with foundational texts from Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, and Homi Bhabha. We will then draw out the resonances of these writers through anti-colonial, Black radical, Afropessimist, feminist, and Marxist traditions that challenge and extend postcolonial theory's interventions into our concepts of 'theory' and political struggle. In the process, as a group working together in a studio writing class, we will interweave discussion with writing exercises oriented around conceptual problems at the center of postcolonial theory, including the power of writing itself. From various freewriting exercises to formal essays that will go through multiple processes of revision, we will practice several different writing styles in order to consider the various meanings of freedom, domination, and the possibilities of subversion as a guiding principle for writing itself. FYS II develops college-level writing skills, prepares one for upper level Liberal Arts courses, and allows one to improve expressing their ideas in writing. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II:Going Mad	1005 (017)	Terri Griffith	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Why do we love books and movies about people going mad? What is so interesting about those at the edge? In this writing course, students consider the character of the ¿madman¿ in literature and film, and ask why this character continues to speak to audiences. Readings and screenings will include ¿The Yellow Wallpaper,¿ by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Monkey King by Patricia Chao, and the classic film Harvey. In addition to weekly writings, students will write essays with an emphasis on revision, culminating in a final research paper exploring the idea of the ¿madman¿ in popular culture.

FYS II: The New Hollywood	1005 (018)	Jacob A Hinkson	Fri 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description In this writing intensive course, we will develop the skills of argument-driven composition as we examine the aesthetic shift in American cinema from the classic Hollywood studio system of the 1940s-1950s to the ¿New Hollywood¿ of the 1960s-1970s. What was the studio system, and how did it end? What system of production took its place? In tracing the cultural and economic shifts that led to the creation of the modern Hollywood, we¿ll also track the reinvention of genres like the melodrama, the musical, and the film noir. Readings will include critical works by Raymond Borde and Étienne Cahumeton, Jeanine Basinger, and Mark Harris. These materials will inform multiple argument-driven essays which students will draft and revise over the course of the semester. Students should expect to write 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing, in addition to homework exercises and in-class writing. FYS II will build upon the foundational writing skills students began learning in FYS I, with the introduction of more rigorous argumentation and research. Eventually, writing will be more self-directed in this FYS II class. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.	Class Number 1313	Credits 3	Department Liberal Arts Location Lakeview - 205
FYS II: Irish Rebels: 20th-21st century	1005 (019)	Eileen Favorite	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description FYS II is the follow-up course to FYS I, where students develop their writing skills to include research and argumentation. In this class we¿ll look at how the Irish fought to overthrow colonial rule in 1916-1922 and win the Irish War for Independence. We¿ll learn about the Old I.R.A. as well as the Cumann na Ban, the women¿s paramilitary that aided the guerilla fighters. In the second part of the course, we¿ll examine the partition of Ireland into Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. With a deep dive into The Troubles, we¿ll interrogate the weapons of terrorism as well as the nonviolent resistance of hunger strikes. We¿ll examine all sides of the issues by reviewing poetry (Seamus Heaney and Eavan Boland), political commentary and research (Fintan O¿Toole and Patrick Radden Keefe), and contemporary short stories and creative nonfiction (Clare Keegan, Dioreen ni Grioffa). We¿ll also unpack how current politics, especially Brexit and demographic changes, threaten to destabilize Northern Ireland. Through in-class writing exercises, drafting of papers, and mindful writing workshops, students will develop their writing and researching skills, with the creation of 20-25 pages of academic writing.

FYS II: British Feminist Writers	1005 (021)	Eileen Favorite	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description FYS II are theme-based writing courses designed for first-year students, with an emphasis on further developing the foundational writing skills students learned in FYS I. Students will continue to hone the intellectual skills of reading critically, and writing responsively, which forms the basis of each student's career at the School. While faculty have autonomy in determining course theme, the theme is an accessory to the writing; the balance in these classes is weighed toward explicit writing instruction and workshopping of student writing, not content. This course provides guided experience in writing college-level essays of various kinds, which may include critical, analytical and argumentative essays, and must include the research paper. It is a policy of the department that at least one essay be a research paper which may involve searching for sources in a library or online, learning to make citations, and preparing an annotated bibliography. A significant amount of time is devoted to the craft of writing, and more sophisticated methods of argumentation and use of evidence and developing independent claims and ideas are explored. Students should expect to write 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing across the course of the semester. A significant amount of time may be devoted to re-writing essays, so as to develop first drafts into final versions. In-class writing, short homework exercises, and workshopping of student work may be included. Individual meetings to discuss each student's papers should be expected.

FYS II: Nuclear Problems & Society	1005 (022S)	Aiko Kojima Hibino	Mon 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description When the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was created in 1942 in Chicago, human society was destined to tackle with an unsolvable conundrum. How could our society possibly justify the augmentation of this enormous power that could destroy our own existence? This course investigates discourses around two major uses of nuclear power in society ¿ nuclear weapons and nuclear energy ¿ and examines them through social justice lenses. Key points of inquiry include: what risks are associated with nuclear weapons and energy and how they have been evaluated in contrast to their benefits, how the damages that were caused by nuclear weapons and energy have been addressed and mended, and whether the harms that were made by nuclear weapons and energy equally impact all groups of people. Building on the basic reading and writing skills introduced in FYS I, FYS II will further students¿ academic skills in writing an independent research paper. Therefore, in this course, students are expected to read primary and secondary sources to collect evidence to develop their critical arguments on nuclear problems.

FYS II: The Interpretation of Dreams	1005 (023)	David B. Johnson	Thurs 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description First-Year Seminars can be thought of as writing studios: their purpose is to help you develop your academic writing skills by practicing writing, revision, and critique. Each FYS course is organized around a topic that orients students¿ writing practice; the topic of this course is the interpretation of dreams. Dreams have fascinated human beings for a long time. Whether understood as a source of inspiration, a cause for amusement, a glimpse into the soul, a pool of diagnostic information, or an everyday process of cognitive housekeeping, dreams have been regarded by some of history¿s most penetrating thinkers as essential to the project of making sense of ourselves and our place in the world. In this course we will investigate the writings of some eminent interpreters of dreams, and through the writing process we will develop our own interpretations in response to their ideas. Our readings will draw upon ancient and medieval philosophy (Aristotle, Zhuangzi, Augustine), early psychoanalysis (Freud, Jung), and contemporary dream science. In addition to short homework assignments, students will complete two major papers¿a Texts-in-Conversation Essay and a Research Paper¿which will go through multiple rounds of review and revision. Throughout the course, we will focus on strategies and techniques for effective writing, including idea-generation, composition, revision, and argument-construction.

FYS II: Food and Culture	1005 (024)	Kate Lechler	Thurs 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description Food is one of life¿s great pleasures and the pursuit of flavor and nutrition has shaped the global map as we know it today. Every culture has food rituals around both its preparation and consumption, while the academic study of food intersects with almost every other topic of study, from economics and biology, to history and art. This course will focus on texts that span a variety of nations, languages, genres, and mediums, all of which explore the collective human experience of food. What do we eat¿and when and why? How did our most beloved foods come to be and how do they reach us today? In response to these questions, we¿ll read texts by famous food-writers such as Michael Pollan and Samir Nosrat, alongside horror and fantasy stories by Cassandra Khaw and Seanan McGuire. We¿ll examine medieval recipes alongside viral TikTok recipes; view Dutch and Flemish still lifes and Warhol paintings; and watch the Hulu show The Bear and Stanley Tucci¿s movie Big Night. In their research and writing students can expect to explore the topic of food that most inspires their curiosity, FYS II builds upon the foundational writing skills students began learning in FYS I, with the introduction of more rigorous argumentation and research. Eventually, writing and revision will be more self-directed in this FYS II class, which provides guided experience in writing college-level essays of various kinds. Students should expect to write 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing as well as homework exercises and in-class writing. This writing will take the form of two essays and a final project, an in-depth revision based on instructor and peer workshop feedback. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Walking	1005 (025S)	Suzanne Scanlon	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Fernando Pessoa in Lisbon, Virginia Woolf in London, Frank O¿Hara in New York City; writers, philosophers and artists of all kinds have long created, expanded, and contracted the self through the act and practice of walking. We will spend this semester reading and writing texts structured around the movement of the self in the city and country, at home and away, considering both content and representations of the body in space. We will look at authors, filmmakers and conceptual artists from a range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds to ask: What kind of literary devices does the author use? How does the tone/style contribute to the work as a whole? How does the text build, sentence by sentence or scene by scene? Are specific images repeated and/or used differently throughout the work? Students should expect to write 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing, including a researched essay. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II:The Critical and the Fine	1005 (026)	Herman Stark	Tues 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description This intense writing course fosters college-level writing skills at a level suitable for upper level Liberal Arts courses. Various types of essays will be executed (e.g., analysis, comparison and contrast) over a number of drafts. As for content, the course targets two aesthetic and philosophical phenomena: the critical and the fine. These phenomena can appear apart (e.g., critical thinking apart from the fine can lead to cynicism and even misology), but they can, in synthesis, produce both philosophy and art of the highest order. M. Gelven's text, The Quest for the Fine, and J. Lynch's The English Language, provide examples from philosophy, art, and language that illustrate paradigmatic syntheses of the critical and the fine. We'll consider, for example, the following distinction: The active voice lends crispness to your writing...but the passive voice works well when the action is more relevant than the person or thing doing the action. By reviewing such instances of grammatical and syntactical precision, across different topics, we will develop our internal sense of the fine. As for the critical, consider the following line by Emily Dickinson: 'Because I could not stop for death...he kindly stopped for me....' It takes the critical touch of a master poet to insert kindly; why, after all, kindly? Do not humans tend to flee death? Is not death a topic to be avoided? Do not many of us rather wish, sometimes idly and sometimes fervently, that we could live forever, or at least longer than we do? Or, has the poet revealed an ambiguity in how one might really feel, and think, about one's mortality? In this seminar, we will learn to make and appreciate such examples in writing, and indeed in writing that displays a heightened criticality and a heightened sense of the fine. Fine and critical writing is expected each week in weekly seminar reports, and over the entire semester in four essays, resulting in 20-25 pages of formal, revised writing.

FYS II: (Still) Life-Writing	1005 (027)	Aaron Greenberg	Thurs 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description What is the meaning of life? How does life translate to the page and canvas? In this course, we will practice the art of writing by representing its relations to life. FYS II develops college-level writing skills, preparing students for upper-level Liberal Arts courses. We¿ll focus on still lifes¿among the most enduring, versatile, and overlooked art forms¿which illuminate new perspectives on the lives of artists and the lives of objects we represent. Authors including Lisa Knopp and Norman Bryson will provide critical context for the course, while artists including Alice Neel, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Juan Sánchez Cotán, Jonas Wood, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso will set the table with examples of the genre. However, students will develop writing projects around still life artists of their choice. We will experiment with ekphrasis, the detailed written description of visual art. We¿ll write about art that portrays the interplay of life, death, and (in)animacy, as we consider the history of ideas represented through still lifes including: the limits and possibilities of genre, vanitas, memento mori, and subject/object relations. Students will create 20-25 pages of formal, revisable, and (if they choose) publishable writing across three short essays and two in-depth revisions. Students will also learn to write a research paper, using scholarly constraints to enhance creativity. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II:Hearing Voices	1005 (028)	William T. Faber	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description In this course we will work to develop our capacities as critical writers and readers by engaging the question: ¿what is a voice?¿ To do this, we will move across the domains of politics (¿voice of the people¿), linguistics (¿spoken voice¿), psychology (¿individual voice¿), creativity (¿find your voice¿), sound (¿tone of voice¿), the body (¿vocal chords and voice box¿), technology (¿the recorded voice¿), and the sacred (¿voice of God¿). Ultimately, we will cultivate through writing and discussion a semester- long call and response via the diverse meanings and identities attributed to the voice across a range of cultural and historical locations. How do these diverse formulations resonate and speak with one another, and what might their connections reveal about how we understand ourselves and our world? Our course materials will include works by linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, composer Pauline Oliveros, the poet Ovid, sociologist W.E.B Du Bois, novelist Tommy Orange, philosopher Maladan Dolar, folk tales collected by the Brothers Grim, the spiritual texts of Hazrat Inayat Kahn, the blues music of Ma Rainey, among many others. Thematically, we will frequently consider the ways that the voice transgress the borders of metaphor and material fact, shaping our sense of both the individual and the collective. Throughout this course students will develop techniques for critical reading, writing, and listening, as we discuss materials which present and theorize the identity and meaning of the voice, including examples from music, religious studies, poetry, and philosophy. Students will analyze, synthesize, and compare these multiple perspectives in weekly writing assignments and class discussions and develop strategies for mobilizing diverse forms of evidence in support of their original arguments.

FYS II: What is X?	1005 (030)	Kerry Balden	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description In this course, we learn to inquire according to the most basic question available to us: to ask what something is. For this purpose, we'll read a handful of Platonic Dialogues, which are as comprehensive as they are artistic. Each dialogue asks a question about something fundamental to human life: What is love? What is art? What is friendship? What is power? What is god? What is courage? What is justice? Throughout the course, we'll write a couple of shorter assignments in preparation for a final paper. Building on FYS I, we now further learn how to write for specific readers. Far from merely demonstrating that you the author understand something, your writing will have to explain something to someone who doesn't understand, someone who may be resistant to understanding. In order to do so, we rely on regular, structured sessions of peer feedback, which involve specific, suggested revisions, rather than mere indications of like and dislike. And though we'll learn select principles of writing, such as those of argument, or of introductions, or of conclusions, the course utterly depends on your involvement: If we cannot be readers for one another, in all our idiosyncrasies and specific feedback, then we can't learn how to write for this or that discourse community. Students can expect to write at least two pages per week, culminating in a final research paper or project. Over the semester, students produce 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing.

FYS II: Grief in Art	1005 (031S)	James Sieck	Mon 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description Nearly three years into the Covid pandemic and we are still in the midst of a prolonged state of grief. As we consider the ways in which we have found - or struggled to find - help with our grief, the questions must be asked: What mechanisms were in place for communal grief? What mechanisms were in place for individual grief? Moreover, in times of tragedy and trauma, who or what can we turn towards to help us with this incredibly complex and human process? In this second semester course, each student will build off the academic writing and critical reading skills of FYS1 and work to construct a formal research essay that examines the role of art in grief. While our individual work will be specific and focused, our combined efforts will represent a broad exploration into the psychology of grief in the context of art. As a class community, we will examine the behavioral science behind grief, the various cultural practices and traditions around grief, and the ways in which both visual and written art are often our best tools for understanding grief. Sources may vary, but expect to read and analyze a diverse collection of authors and artists, including: Jhumpa Lahiri, James Joyce, Pema Chodron, Pauline Boss, Ada Limon, Roger Robinson, Carrie Mae Weems, and Chimamanda Adichie. Students will learn how to formulate a meaningful research question, vett and synthesize a variety of sources, and produce a polished academic research paper. We will utilize writing workshops, peer review, and process-oriented feedback to help us each produce 20-25 pages of formal and revisable writing. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: More than Friends	1005 (032)	Sophie Goalson	Thurs 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description As we enter a post-pandemic world, the impact of loneliness and importance of community is clearer than ever. But at the same time, the picture of the American family is changing: the nuclear model of the 1940s and 1950s has shifted to one that is less culturally defined and more dynamic, and this constantly shifting structure calls for new definitions and careful exploration. In this course, we will dig into the standard narratives around relationship structures, and the ways in which writers and thinkers have been exploding these structures for centuries. We'll read about sacred non-romantic relationships in Plato's texts, romantic friendships of the Victorian era, queer family history from the 1960s and 1970s, and 20th century ideas of radical friendship and the queering of friendship. Authors we'll study in this course will include Plato, Tennyson, Charlotte Bronte, Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Eileen Myles, Michelle Tea, Kristen Radtke, dean spade, and others. We'll also explore and discuss themes off the beaten path (but well within the forest) of queerness ¿ like asexuality, ethical nonmonagmy, polyamory, chosen family, intentional community, and more. This course will build on academic essay writing skills from FYSI to synthesize ideas and information in an effort to analyze how writers and thinkers have defined and redefined family. Students can expect to produce 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing, including a final research project. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Come to Your Senses	1005 (033)	Matilda Stubbs	Thurs 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description This writing intensive First Year Seminar introduces students to the anthropological study of the senses and how to communicate sensory experience through ethnographic writing. By close examination of ethnographic texts, films, podcasts, and other multimedia, students will explore how cultures 'make sense' of the everyday and increasingly globalized world. With emphasis on written assignments, we approach the notion of perception as more than a purely physical act, and through structured participation and deliberate observation, students will learn how sensory experiences are deeply related to our own histories and cultural identities. Course activities center around developing analytic skills in the genre of ethnographic writing, and critically engaging with cross-cultural examples of sensual mediations of reality. Topics range from how the senses shape the aesthetics of daily life through color, odor, and flavor, to the significance of communication and information of technologies in the era of virtual reality, slime videos, and the online autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) community.

FYS II: Speech and Voice	1005 (034)	Stephen Williams	Fri 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description How have artists in literature, theater, music, and other sound-based media represented or incorporated the human voice into their work? This FYS II course builds on the writing and thinking skills students began to develop in FYS I by introducing more advanced argumentation and research methods. To guide our inquiry, we might consider questions such as: How do we understand 'authentic' or 'common' speech, what accounts for its claim on our attention, and what are the politics around it? How does its apparent spontaneity relate to formal aspects of a work of art? Why do diverse folk traditions put human speech in the mouths of animals? How do we experience, on the one hand, divine or oracular voices understood to come from beyond humankind, and on the other, AI-generated simulacra? What does it mean to appropriate another's voice, and why is spoken language such a significant marker of individual and collective identity? How have new technologies of amplification, reproduction, and distribution changed how we hear ourselves? Sources we may consider include: Wordsworth, European opera, Brecht / Weill, Lotte Lenya, Cathy Berberian, Derek Walcott, Kamau Braithwaite, Linda Rosenkrantz, Meredith Monk, Bernadette Mayer, Pere Gimferrer, Nathaniel Mackey, American hip hop. Students can expect to produce 20-25 pages of formal, revisable writing, as well as regular in- and out-of-class assignments. The course builds toward a self-directed research paper on a topic of the student's choosing. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Cyber Feminism	1005 (035)	Terri Griffith	Thurs 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Cyber Feminisms explores the intersections of feminism, technology, and digital culture through a research-driven lens. Students will critically engage with a range of topics, including the influence of digital spaces on gender identities, the consequences of algorithmic bias, and the ways marginalized communities use technology for resistance and self-expression. This course will analyze the role of the internet in shaping feminist discourse while developing digital literacies essential for academic writing in the 21st century. Students should expect to write 20 to 25 pages of formal, revisable writing (i.e. a semester-long research-based essay with multiple drafts) as well as homework exercises and in-class writing. Much in-class writing will be included, as emphasis is on development of the intellectual skills of reading and responding critically, which forms the basis of each student's career at SAIC. Furthermore, peer review of student papers, and individual meetings to discuss each student¿s writing should be expected. Prerequisites Prerequisite: ENGLISH 1001.

FYS II: Human Subjects	1005 (06S)	Jennie Berner	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description When scientists conduct research involving human subjects, they are required to seek permission from Institutional Review Boards to ensure that their research is safe and ethical. Artists, however, have no such obligation. When working with human subjects ¿ whether they be muses, models, collaborators, participants, or viewers ¿ artists often must decide for themselves what is right or wrong. For example, should street photographers get consent from the people they photograph? Is it okay for performance artists to make their audiences physically or psychologically uncomfortable? Should some art come with a trigger warning? Is it appropriate for a painter or fashion designer to ask a model to endure pain or danger for the sake of art? What do artists owe their subjects (financially, emotionally, morally, etc.)? In this research and writing-intensive course, we¿ll explore these types of questions through artworks, installations, and performance pieces by artists including Sophie Calle, Clifford Owens, Paul McCarthy, Arne Svenson, Vanessa Beecroft, Santiago Sierra, Marina Abramovic, Song Ta, and others. Writing assignments ¿ totaling 20-25 pages over the course of the semester ¿ will emphasize summary, analysis, argument, research, revision, and other academic writing skills.

This spring the entire Contemporary Practice department will have a shared umbrella topic for our RSII courses: Contemporary Now. All RSII classes will engage with the present and what is happening right now. With the world moving so fast - a pandemic, fires burning across the US west, people marching in the streets across the globe, and the storms that seem to keep coming, it is critical we ask questions of ourselves as artists, designers, educators and cultural producers: What responsibility do we have at any moment in history? How can the diversity of our practices: research, study, making and actions, address the present and design the future we want to see? In RSII courses students will investigate this shared departmental thematic through the intersection of their own practice and the pedagogical practices of their faculty. All RSII classes are interdisciplinary, faculty have provided a subtitle, and a short description to describe the lens through which their class will explore the theme of Contemporary Now.

Issues in Visual Critical Studies	2001 (001)	Kristi Ann McGuire	Wed 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description This course plunges students into content and ideas that universities often leave until graduate school, as we consider the role played by the 'critical' in 'visual and critical studies.'

Description This course will introduce students to basic techniques of working with sound as an artistic material. As a prerequisite for many of the department?s upper level offerings, the class is designed to familiarize the student with both the technology and the historical and aesthetic background relevant to our facilities and courses, to the field of ?sound art? and experimental music in general, and to the application of sound in other disciplines (video, film, performance, installations, etc.) Equipment covered will include microphones, mixers, analog and digital audio recorders, signal processors and analog synthesizers. Hard-disk based recording and editing (ProTools) is introduced, but the focus is on more traditional analog studio technology. The physics of sound will be a recurring subject. Examples of music and sound art, created using similar technology to that in our studios, will be played or performed and discussed in class. The listening list will vary according to the instructors? preferences. Readings are similarly set according to the instructors? syllabus: some sections employ more or less reading than others, contact specific instructors for details. Students are expected to use studio time to complete weekly assignments, which are designed to hone technical skills and, in most cases, foster artistic innovation. Some of these projects can incorporate outside resources (such as the student?s own computers and recordings), but the emphasis is on mastering the studio.

Comics:Drawing Outside The Boxes	2002 (004)	Jeffrey David Brown	Tues 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description It can be easy for students to become so focused on the final product of art making that they lose sight of the importance of process. To that end, this studio class aims to encourage students to play and experiment within the medium of comics, creating projects with methods they wouldn?t normally use, and avoiding the urge to fall back on their usual or expected ways of working. Students will not need to worry about making a great piece of art, and instead can learn more about their own art practice and what does or doesn?t work for them. This class will look at a variety of artists, genres, and forms in the comics medium. The types of comics investigated may include everything from traditional superhero genre comics, to handmade art comics, graphic novels, abstract comics, newspaper gag comics, and even content that may or may not be considered comics, depending on how one defines ?comics.? Students will also be encouraged to share their favorite comics or whatever they?re currently reading, and to look into books and comics they aren?t familiar with. After casual critiquing of the previous week?s work, each class begins a new project or exercise that starts with a prompt or general parameters, which students use as starting points to follow in whatever direction interests them.

Comics: Autobiography	2002 (008)	Sophie Goalson	Wed 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This course explores nonfiction narratives told in the first person. Students will read and discuss examples of memoir, personal essay, journalism, and diary comics, as well as more experimental formats. Truth, point of view, and ethics will be examined, particularly in how they work along with storytelling, tone, style, and other formal aspects of comics.

Selected readings include graphic novels and mini-comics that have been published recently by both large publishers and self-published by individual cartoonists. Skype visits allow students to ask questions of comics artists, critics, publishers, and distributors. Past guests have included artists Julia Wertz, Carta Monir, Summer Pierre, and John Porcellino, Lauren Weinstein, critic Rob Clough, and publisher Raighne of 2dcloud. Some additional artists that I often introduce are Gabrielle Bell, Vanessa Davis, Lisa Hanawalt, Sarah Gliddens, Karl Stevens, Kevin Budnik, Roz Chast, Cara Bean, and Liana Finck. Students will reproduce 16 copies of a 24 or more page comic, which will be distributed to the class during the final critique. They will complete one or more pages each week, which will be critiqued and discussed throughout the whole semester.

Comics of the Fantastic	2002 (010)	Anya Pauline Davidson	Thurs 3:30 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy comics began as popular entertainment, intended to sell units on newsstands with lurid cover art and shocking story titles, but artists have always used the genres to investigate such complex topics as identity, illness and the body, and to lay bare the structural forces behind racism, sexism and political oppression. Students will read some classic works as well as a handful of contemporary pieces that use genre as a jumping-off point. Throughout the class, they will make a number of short comics that investigate contemporary life through the lens of the fantastic, to be collected and presented in the form of a printed zine.

Arch/Inarch: Light and Space	2003 (001)	Stephanie Slaughter	Wed 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Light is a miraculous condition both conceptually and physically in the fact that it is a medium which can not be touched or held, etc. Light in combination with space creates containers for the production of what can only be described as auras. The ephemeral conditions which light produces actually changes and alters the spaces we inhabit daily. The course Light & Space is designed to develop and expand both artistic and architectural sensibilities for students in the exploration of natural and artificial light as a medium. This one day a week studio is structured around a series of lectures about the comparison between Architects and Artists through exercises involving both physical and digital models within the city of Chicago. The exercises will introduce students on how to construct and assemble spaces in order to control light and the effects it has on inhabitants of architectural surroundings. The instructors of Light & Space present a series of case study comparisons between architects and artists as a means to open the possibilities for extreme experimentation within the studio setting. Students final project of the semester is the curation of the collection of imagery designed and rendered via all exercises, but open ended for each individual student?s interpretation and personal expression of social, political, and gender issues, etc. This course requires students to have a laptop that meets SAIC's minimum hardware specs and runs the AIADO template.

Color	2003 (001)	Steven Husby	Mon 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This studio course will provide a hands-on introduction to the fundamental understanding and use of color. Students will gain practical experience working with material color in order to improve their understanding of how color works. Assignments will be introduced in class to help students develop a working knowledge of the basic concepts of hue, value, and chroma, and the relationship between these concepts and those of color harmony and organization. By working with color in context students will gain a practical understanding of color interaction and develop strategies for approaching color with greater sophistication and specificity in their own practice. In addition to our investigations with color in the classroom, this course will examine the ways in which artists and scholars have worked with color art historically as a medium of expression, and thought about color scientifically as an index of an underlying natural order, as well as culturally as a system of signs reflecting our biases back to us to be interpreted. Reliable perceptual phenomena like simultaneous contrast and afterimages will be considered alongside more unstable notions like synesthesia and color music, as well as the complicated history of thinking about color as evidence of that which is ?other.? Course work will include exercises to help students develop their approach to color, and a final project in which they put their understanding to work.

Self(ish): The Fantasy of Autobiographical Performance	2008 (001)	Vanessa Damilola Macaulay	Tues 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Throughout the course, we will engage deeply with themes of the 'self', exploring the 'I' in the world. Autobiography in performance can encourage self-reflection, creation, and the exploration of one¿s identity as it changes; it also allows us to imagine who we might become in the future. While using personal experience as a starting point, it is essential to forge some distance between yourself and the work when working with autobiographical material. Therefore, students will engage with the self-ish, exploring the interplay between fact/fiction, personal/political, and real/imagined. Autobiographical performance art validates the intersectionality of multiple identities through experimentation with the meanings of identity labels and the potential discovery of ways they intersect, separate, and coincide with race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability. Throughout the course, we will explore the various modes artists have utilized autobiography. An example of the artists we will examine below: Greg Wohead, Bill T Jones,Bryony Kiimmings, Selina Thompson, Zanele Muholi, Lina Iris Viktor and Lizz Aggiss. Alongside the artistic case studies, the key texts for this course include: Bruno, S. and Dixon, L. 2014. Creating Solo Performance (Oxon & New York, Routledge); Heddon, D. 2008. Autobiography and Performance (Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan); Cavarero, Adriana. 2000. Relating Narratives: Storytelling and Selfhood (Oxon and New York: Routledge); Johnson, J. 2017. Killing Poetry: Blackness and the Making of Slam and Spoken Word Communities (New Brunswick, Camden and Newark, New Jersey and London: Rutgers University Press). Course work will vary but typically includes weekly performance responses in the form of studio labs, a mid-term proposal, and a solo final project.

Chance and Intentionality	2009 (001)	Patrick Durgin	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description If a society?s order of reasons disempowers its citizens, why not weaponize the irrational? This was the premise of various, systemic reactions against the ?ego? in the midlate 20th century. In Europe, the United States, and former colonies, some of this activity can be read as an extension of the historical avant garde?s investigation of altered states of consciousness and ?madness.? The neo-avant garde sometimes used the tools of rational science to deconstruct its premises, reconstruct the real, and promote a more demotic culture. This course takes an international approach and samples practices and discourses of Dadaism, Surrealism, free jazz, performance and conceptual art, dance, film, ?relational aesthetics,? and experimental poetics. We will place a special emphasis on the way indeterminacy claims to ameliorate conflicts between political commitment and aesthetic quality. Expect to encounter works by Francis Alys, Anthony Braxton, John Cage, Aime Cesaire, Fischli & Weiss, Helio Oiticica, Huang Yong Ping, Jorge Macchi, Jackson MacLow, Gerhard Richter, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Hannah Weiner, and others. Course work will vary but typically includes weekly written responses, moderate reading assignments, listening and viewing, avid participation in class discussions, one creative/curatorial project, one research presentation, and a final essay.

Beginning Typography	2011 (001)	Martha Chiplis	Mon 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This studio course explores typography's impact on language to create meaning, organization and tone. Students experiment in typographic composition and page structure with special regard to the flow and rupture of different text types and reading scenarios. Students learn the technical aspects of typography (specification and copyfitting), methods for composing dynamic multipage formats (combining digital and analog), and contexts (both historical and structural) for understanding the vast repository of typefaces. This course is a core requirement for the Visual Communication Design portfolio review. The framing text for this class is Ellen Lupton's Thinking with Type. But students will be introduced to numerous examples from the history of (predominantly Western) letterforms and concretized language. Understanding these historical forms in their contexts will reveal the logic behind the modern classification of digital type. Students produce weekly type projects which are critiqued and handed in as three project sets. The first set analyses letterforms, structurally and then programmatically. The next project set covers text setting and typographic compositions of increasing semantic and syntactic complexity. The last project is a multilingual, illustrated book layout where students engage the fundamental concept of 'structured variety' over a series of pages.

Beyond the Utilitarian Vessel	2013 (001)	Liz McCarthy	Tues 3:30 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description An exploration of 20th and 21st century conceptual ceramic vessels focusing on the ways in which artists harness the rich history of ceramic production for contemporary purposes. The course will cover ideas of utility, domesticity, decorativeness, and ritual; it will explore relationships between industrial and digital mass production and handcraft; it will examine vessels as metaphors for the body, as carriers of culturally specific meaning, and as expressions of personal and political identity. We will begin our examination of the conceptual vessel with an overview of ceramic history from the Arts and Crafts Movement through to the advent of what Anne Wilson dubbed ?Sloppy Craft.? We will consider famous 20th century works such as Duchamp?s Fountain, Meret Oppenheim's Object, and Judy Chicago?s Dinner Party, as well as canonical ceramics figures such as George Ohr, Peter Voulkos, Robert Arneson, Kathy Butterly, Betty Woodman, Viola Frey, and Beatrice Wood. Other artists will include: Ai Weiwei, Roberto Lugo, Grayson Perry, Diego Romero, Arlene Shechet, Francesca Dimattio, Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Kukuli Velarde, Ann Agee, Liu Jianhua, Milena Muzquiz, Laurent Craste, Ehren Tool, Julie Green, and many others. Readings will include excerpts from Glenn Adamson?s Thinking Through Craft and The Craft Reader, Elaine Cheasley Paterson and Susan Surette?s Sloppy Craft: Postdisciplinarity and the Crafts, and Moira Vincentelli?s Women and Ceramics: Gendered Vessels. With a research intensive focus on the development of concepts, students will produce two vessel-based projects by any combination of hand building, wheel throwing, slip casting, 3d printing, and/or found object manipulation. In addition, students will prepare one 10-15 minute presentation on either a specific culture?s ceramic production or on a contemporary artist producing conceptual ceramic vessels.

Drawn to Print	2016 (001)	Nia Easley	Thurs 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description A drawing is made whenever an object in motion touches the surface of another and evidence of their meeting is left behind. Images will be generated by examining a range of traditional and contemporary drawing techniques with an emphasis on analog processes and material exploration. Whether one?s style is gestural and improvisational or systemic and detail-oriented, drawing will be used as a device to access ideas and expand conceptual vocabulary. Printmaking then becomes an extension of the drawing process, infusing a richness of surface, color, texture, and layering. Examining the physical relationship between drawing and printing is a priority, with a focus on direct printing techniques such as monoprinting and heat transfers alongside hand-painting and collage. A strong emphasis will be placed on developing a personal and innovative visual language, as well as challenging notions of scale, site and material. Readings, slide presentations and field trips will focus on course related topics. Students present finished and in-process works at three critiques throughout the semester.

Even when we work purely abstractly, the figure lurks at the edges and dictates nearly every reference point. This studio aims to teach students how the body communicates, and facilitate its effective use in their work. Primarily a studio course, we will use images from art history, contemporary art, graphic novels, films and photography, as well as written material, as jumping-off points for long drawings in a variety of media. We will also go on a series of field trips to discuss how to read body language, and discuss its evolution through animal communication to the nuances of human interchange. This is an advanced studio. Prerequisites Prerequisite: PTDW 2030.	Class Number 1635	Credits 3	Department Painting and Drawing Location 280 Building Rm 124

Tapestry	2037 (001)		Mon/Wed 6:45 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description The class will examine the many possibilities of creating woven forms using a tapestry loom (also called a frame loom). Students will begin by experimenting with the basic techniques of tapestry and plain weave as they explore ways of creating surface, image, texture and various color effects within a woven form. Students will then learn more complex tapestry weaving techniques. A variety of tapestry looms will be considered, including possibilities for constructing looms of varying dimensions and sizes. Contemporary weaving projects, along with historical references, will be presented through discussions, visual presentations, demonstrations, readings, and close-up examinations of woven textiles. This course is open to all levels. Tapestry works by contemporary artists such as Diedrick Brackens, kg, Erin M. Riley, Terri Friedman, Aiko Tezuka, Josh Faught, Julia Bland, Sarah Zapata, and Erasto ?Tito? Mendoza will be shown, together with seminal works by artists whose tapestry works spurred the emergence of the field of fiber in the 1950s through early 1970s: Trude Guermonprez, Anni Albers, Lenore Tawney, Olgs de Amaral, Tadeusz Beutlich, and Magdalena Abakanowicz. Contemporary frame loom weaving will be contextualized through visual presentations and readings exploring relevant histories of weaving across the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, together with examples of present day weaving workshops and institutions like the Museo Textil de Oaxaca (Mexico), the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco (Peru),the Manufacture Nationale des Tapisseries Senegal (Senegal), and Sadu House (Kuwait).

Studio Drawing:Fail Better	2040 (001)	Erin Washington	Mon 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Studio Drawing: Fail Better is an exploration of time-based and ephemeral strategies as they relate to elements of drawing. Much like Baldessari's disowning of his early work, students will be encouraged to let go of practiced methods, using destruction as a form of creation. Doubt will be embraced, experimentation encouraged, and risk considered a viable game-plan. Employing strategies such as collage, archives, and documentation, we will explore how to rebuild your portfolio after you?ve let it go. Rebuilding strategies will range from accumulative, time-based methods such as the work of William Kentridge to the chaotic secretions of Dieter Roth. There will be studio problems and exercises, sketchbook assignments, and slide presentations with a focus on individual projects.

Theory Seminar	2040 (001)	Dawit L. Petros	Thurs 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This 3 hour reading and discussion class is designed to familiarize students with historical and contemporary philosophy, critical analysis, and contemporary thought relevant to photography and the visual culture. The course's aim is to prepare students for a higher level of discourse in anticipation of either graduate school or life as an artist in the greater realm of the ?art world.? Discussions of contemporary work in this atmosphere are aimed at making clear the connection between theory, research and an artist's practice. Students are expected to do critical readings (generally one essay per week), complete short, informal writing assignments, participate in class discussion, and to engage in theoretical research as part of their own practice.

Wksp:Scenecraft	2040 (001)	Richard O'Reilly	Wed 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description Scenecraft: The Art of Hearing Voices Any prose benefits from sharpening the tools most often associated with playwriting: monologue, dialogue, and silence. Whether the example is the compelling presence of the monologue in the radio work of NPR's Ira Glass and David Sedaris, the sharp stylized dialogue in the films of Mike Leigh, the comic outrageousness and vulgarity of Sarah Silverman, the naturalistic street smart sweep of David Simon's The Wire, or the wry poignant humor in the stories of Lorrie Moore, modern prose leans heavily on theatrical lessons of how people speak to each other and to themselves. The class will include looking at these examples as a bridge to generative writing. Using gossip, dreams, photographs, listening to voices reading aloud, writing in the room, and working collaboratively, interdisciplinary experiments will be undertaken to create different modes of dialogue and monologue. Working with actors and performing, the class will make writing that steps off the page and into the mouths of real and imagined people. This workshop welcomes makers from performance, sound, design, or any other forms.	Class Number 1835	Credits 3	Department Writing Location Lakeview - 808

Wksp:Monsters and Ghosts	2040 (002)	Matthew Goulish	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description To understand the human, study the monster. To understand the living, study the ghost. This class examines monsters as warnings or omens regarding the future, and ghosts as repetitions of past events. Through various approaches to creative writing, we examine categories of monster, including the living animated from the non-living (the Golem of Prague), creatures that combine parts of recognizable animals (the Minotaur), and differing conceptions of time that ghosts manifest. We draw non-human case studies from Greek mythology, Gothic literature, and contemporary neurological and cybernetic anxieties. Readings may include Ovid?s Metamorphosis, Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti, The Beggarwoman of Locarno by Heinrich von Kleist, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, The Turn of the Screw and The Jolly Corner by Henry James, A Werewolf Problem in Central Europe by Victor Pelevin, and A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf.

Furniture 1: Chair Studio	2118 (001)	Erik Newman	Wed 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This furniture studio will critically engage the chair as an archetype. Chairs have long been a fascination of designers as they require a developed understanding of structure, material, and form. Importantly, chairs represent the cultural mores of the time in which they are produced and are inextricably linked to larger systems of power, technology, and economy. This course will explore the chair as a fluid, dynamic furniture category that is in a reciprocal relationship with culture, technology, and politics and will emphasize a hands-on approach to design and production. Readings from art and design historians and critics including Galen Cranz, David Getsy, Richard Sennett, Glenn Adamson, and Alice Rawsthorn will be integral to an expansive conversation about the chair. Class readings and discussions will also help contextualize different approaches to construction and fabrication at different scales of production. A wide range of both contemporary and historical design precedents will be explored ranging from traditional Shaker Furniture to Wendell Castle, Faye Toogood, Max Lamb, Egg Collective, Jasper Morrison, and Scott Burton. By the end of this course, students should expect to have completed technical drawings and a series of detailed scale models. Prerequisites Prerequisite: Sophomore-level or above.

Digital Modeling: Rhino	2124 (001)	James TerMeer	Mon/Wed 6:45 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description This course is designed to be a fast-paced first step into the field of 3D CAD modeling, an arena where designers give shape to our daily experience of the world. If this is your first exposure to virtual 3D form development, you will find a flexible interface that facilitates a rapid learning curve from simple to complex. For those with prior CAD experience desiring a more intuitive, less restrictive creative experience, this course will provide the means to turn what you see in your mind and your sketches into exciting visual and precise physically accurate representations of your vision. Throughout the semester we will discuss historical and current events in product, fashion and architectural design. Typically, these shared conversations lead to discoveries that participants dig into and apply to assignments. A list of influential artists, designers and architects is provided along with suggested books and online references that enrich and add diversity and range to our discourse. Initially, the class works through a series of exercises and tutorials designed to bring familiarity and confidence to their experience with Rhino. Students will investigate methods for surfacing, modifying, rendering, and presenting ideas and concepts they create. As each tool and process becomes more familiar, new methods and strategies are introduced, and students are taught how to apply them to create accurate representative models of objects they design. In addition to gaining hands-on skills, we will explore form creation and the physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and cultural factors that play into the development of a successful new product.

Digital Modeling: Solidworks	2126 (001)	Angie Lullie	Tues 3:30 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description This course introduces students to SolidWorks, a powerful parametric software package used by product designers to model, indicate specifications, and visualize their design intent. Students will learn the software in the context of design by using it as a tool to develop form and scale, convey design intent with 3D renders, create specification drawings for manufacturing, and interface with 3d printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters for quick iterative prototyping. This course will focus on a series of tutorials followed by hands-on design projects that will provide intensive training in 3D modeling, 3D printing, and photo-realistic 3D rendering.This will allow the students to make judgements on which 3D tools to use at what stage to develop the most efficient models. The tools will be explained through examples and demonstrations, which will allow the students to practice the tools during class. Students are expected to complete 4 projects. The projects will include learning 2D sketch tools and creating relations through existing logos, modeling existing products with multiple components, developing an original design based on an existing brand or artist, and collaborating within a group on a system of objects.

History of Designed Objects	2128 (001)	Lara Allison	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description The course examines the history of designed objects and their place in a variety of material contexts. Even within our increasingly digitalized existences today, physical objects continue to play a key role in determining our experiences as humans. Our objects are designed by us and at the same time design us by extending the possibilities of what it means to be human and exist in a world. The designed object will be considered under the conditions of global exchange, in relation to questions of health, disease, and the body, as well as urbanism. We will also reflect on the designed object through the lenses of craftsmanship, technology, materials, activism, identity, and cultural heritage. Course participants will read texts relevant to the theoretical and historical aspects of the designed object and its representations, contribute to weekly discussions, conduct object-based analyses, and engage in a series of team and individually written critical writing assignments.

The Artist as Stylist?: Fashion Signifiers in Art	2143 (001)	Caroline Marie Bellios	Wed 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description If you could only be seen in one outfit for the rest of your life ? what would it be? How would you represent who you are through your choice of silhouette, color, pattern, and texture? In this course we will take a look at art?s ability to freeze moments, and garments, in time. What did the sitter (or the artist) chose to clothe the body? How did fashion and its power of communication function within the time the art work was made? What choices did the artist make to idealize or change their representation of the garments? In statues from Ancient Greece fabrics flow around bodies like liquids, 18th century subjects were often painted in swathes of fabric meant to suggest ancient ideals through similar (impossible) textiles, and today Kara Walker uses those same floating fabrics on bodies to critique less than ideal idealists. To 19th century Impressionists the urgency of Modernity could only be represented by using contemporary garments, today Kehinde Wiley dresses a man on a horse in a hoodie. What clues tell us a figure is a warrior or a captive in work of the Nazca from ancient Peru? How can we read hairstyles in Ukiyo-e paintings from 17th century Japan? What do Jeffery Gibson and Nick Cave want us to see when they create coverings for bodies? And what was Amy Sherald trying to tell us about Michelle Obama? We will utilize the collections of the Art Institute, The Field Museum, and others around the city to look closely, sketch, and research. Students will read, lead discussions, write daily reflections, explore through making, and develop skills in critical looking leading to two short research papers examining works of their choice.

Gore Capitalism: Contemporary Cinema and Crisis	2588 (001)	Daniel Ricardo Quiles	Thurs 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description 'Gore Capitalism' takes its title from Sayak Valencia's recent book on narcotrafficking and 'necropolitics': contemporary governments' paradoxical disregard for the lives of their own citizens. Using global contemporary cinema, we will examine troublingly consistent dynamics of repression and crisis around the world: Black marginalization and death in the United States; racist ecofascism in Brazil; the African migration crisis; neo-genocide of indigenous populations; and many others. Following Valencia's link between necropolitics and the horror genre, selected films have a genre bent toward horror, ghost stories and other modes of mysticism that serve to represent traumatic realities. But they also periodically shift into realism, as in Jasmila Zbanic's Quo Vadis, Aida?, about the Bosnian War. In the end, history becomes a key category that contemporary films are exploring-- to better contextualize today's crises and excavate strategies and solutions from the past.

20th Century Photography	2622 (001)	Alice Maggie Hazard	Wed 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description In 1839 a new means of visual representation was announced to a startled world: photography. Although the medium was immediately and enthusiastically embraced by the public at large, photographers spent decades experimenting with techniques and debating the representational nature of this new invention. This course focuses on the more recent history of this revolutionary medium. From the technological advancements that characterized the rise of photography in the commercial world during the 20th century, and the acknowledgement of photography as an artistic medium in its own right, to the digital revolution and its social media applications, we will consider the technological, economic, political, and artistic histories of photography through selected works of art and seminal critical texts. This course considers photography in a global context. We focus on seminal texts and images in order to explore ethical, commercial, artistic, and political issues that make photography essentially important to our contemporary visual culture. The course explores broad range of photographic practices, techniques, and approaches including the work of Hannah Hoch, Martha Rosler, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Dawoud Bey, Gordon Parks, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, William Eggleston, Shirin Neshat, Wolfgang Tillmans and many more. We regularly visit the collections of AIC and MCoP to enrich our class discussions with private print viewings and exhibition critiques. Students are expected to share an image of their choice in response to the assigned weekly reading. These images are used in class discussion. There also is a final paper, a final presentation, and an in-class test.

Writing Art History	2900 (001)	Margaret MacNamidhe	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description The main aim of this intensive course is to learn how to write art history by doing it. Each student will write an original research paper investigating a single, particularly compelling object of her choosing in scaffolded stages over the course of the entire semester, while drawing on a range of library and museum resources and responding to constructive criticism from the teacher and from peers. The course guides students to pose generative questions of their objects, to find and analyze sources, and to make persuasive arguments. We will also at times study the study of art, examining the history of the museum as a framework for such study, and reflecting on as well as using some key analytical moves often used by art historians. We will not only study statements by scholars reflecting on their own methods, but also exemplars of analysis, which we will in turn take apart to figure out how to do such analysis ourselves. While this course is required for the BA in Art History and BFA with Art History Thesis, any undergraduate who wants to write art history is warmly welcome.

Description All writing begins with a writer. The writer alone, the writer entering a history of writers, the writer-child, the writer-citizen. Maya Angelou wrote: ¿A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.¿ In short it has an ¿I Am.¿ To own up to first person is not to claim supremacy and hierarchy, but to recognize life as a source, a fountain, an ecology. From which, through your senses, those receptors of attention, you enter in vibrant conversation. This is not a course in autobiography but you will explore your body, origins, processes, senses, dreams, Muses ¿ in an iterative fashion. Readings include poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Some artists we'll read are: Lynda Barry, Rita Dove, Stuart Dybek, Miranda July, Layli Long Soldier, Marc Richard, ZZ Packer, Leslie Jamison and David Whyte. They are our point of departure for analyzing techniques to create vibrant sensory images, shift from microscope to satellite narrative views, and enlarge our individual presence to include the Body Politic. Studio exercises will ask you to pull the world near to taste-test it, with synergy, inspiration, and playfulness. The Sophomore Seminar's Keystone Assignments are: DIY Future Project & Documentation of Practice. Your creative writing project 'This I Write' will receive an all-class workshop, for you to follow up with a re-vision. Prerequisites Prerequisite: Must be a sophomore to enroll.

Global Research Studio	3001 (001)	Monika Niwelinska	Wed 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description Transnational Temporalities: Interdisciplinary Research and Practice is a required course for international and AICAD exchange students who are new to SAIC, but have already completed a substantial amount of advanced level or independent coursework. Students enrolled in this class will use utilize both traditional and experimental research methodologies, access the many archives and resources available at SAIC and across Chicago, and participate in a vigorous studio-based critical dialogue about their studio work with a global awareness. The course will encourage students to make connections between this class and their respective areas of studio interest or specialization ¿ through recognition of global identities (otherness and representation, deconstructing difference, decolonization), global contextualization, global art history and it's asymmetries, as well as subject driven themes in global contemporary art: place, time, memory, materiality, body, identity, language, science, among others. To make engaging art requires the artist to recognize the cultural context of their time, to think critically in regards to that context, and to make art or design works in response. The more an artist or designer seeks to problematize and add greater complexity to what interests them, the more polyvocal their practice will become. Examples of artists and designers to be addressed in this course include: Richard Tufte, Shirin Neshat, Hito Steyerl, Zhang Huan, Mark Lombardi, Tehching Hsieh, Christian Boltanski, Kara Walker, Song Dong, Cai Guo-Qiang, Brian Jungen, Nick Cave, Doris Salcedo, Anish Kapoor, Olafur Eliasson, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Marina Abramovic, Ai Weiwei, Andy Goldsworthy, Roni Horn, Sophie Ristelhueber, Kehinde Wiley, Jeff Wall, James Turell, Lorna Simpson, Tonika Lewis Johnson, Alfredo Jaar, Dawit Petros,, Danh Vo, Guerilla Girls, Tonika Lewis Johnson (The Folded Map Project) and Lucy Orta. The course structure will provide three tiers of interaction, student to instructor, student to student, and student to content. The class relies on weekly assignment-based projects, peer-to-peer feedback, and self-paced visual material. Historical and contemporary readings and screenings provide a conceptual framework for the course work, which will include weekly reading & screening responses supporting live and online discussions (through Canvas), short visual exercises, a research presentation on a specific artist, and a final project.

Top: Chance and Intentionality	3001 (005)	Patrick Durgin	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description If a society?s order of reasons disempowers its citizens, why not weaponize the irrational? This was the premise of various, systemic reactions against the ?ego? in the midlate 20th century. In Europe, the United States, and former colonies, some of this activity can be read as an extension of the historical avant garde?s investigation of altered states of consciousness and ?madness.? The neo-avant garde sometimes used the tools of rational science to deconstruct its premises, reconstruct the real, and promote a more demotic culture. This course takes an international approach and samples practices and discourses of Dadaism, Surrealism, free jazz, performance and conceptual art, dance, film, ?relational aesthetics,? and experimental poetics. We will place a special emphasis on the way indeterminacy claims to ameliorate conflicts between political commitment and aesthetic quality.

Structuring, Sequencing and Series	3010 (001)	Colleen Plumb	Mon 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Photography is everywhere. Sequences and series are the ubiquitous ways we most often see photographic images. Photographic meanings are pliable in shifting contexts from published sequences online and in print, to images in photobooks, exhibitions and installations. This class critically examines how series of images are structured and the significance those structures hold. ?That photography resists being shaped by any single set of imperatives or standards ? as it literally permeates our public and private and our rational and fantasy lives ? renders it, by its very nature unruly and hard to define.? Marvin Heiferman. This course will address the complex and continual shifting nature of photography; what influences our understanding of how a photograph functions while exploring a diverse array of photographic genres and applications. Assignments develop skillful use and understanding of serial imagery by engaging narrative and non-narrative strategies in a variety of sequences, books, zines, portfolios, web-based projects, installations, videos, and projected presentations.

Sound Now: Improvisation	3012 (001)	Damon Locks	Tues 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description The focus of this class will be on improvisation within and without traditions and in relationship and juxtaposition to genre and structure. There are many manifestations across cultures of freedom and transformation through improvisation. We will look at improvisational sound, music and performance and their potentials and outcomes -- from moments of imaginative exploration inside the form, to the search for freedom, discovery and re-contextualization. We will dig into the need for improvisation, its effect on the audience, and its power to provoke cultural change. Can improvisation be a practice as a whole, an approach to all forms? Improvisation in performance and practice takes us to new places that are of the moment and a way forward, as exemplified in the work of the provocative Egyptian vocalist Umm Kalsoum who broke gender norms; Sun Ra¿s sonic storytelling and myth building based on Black American cultural signifiers; the genre-bending deconstructive electronic manipulations of Mixmaster Mike. The students¿ individual and collective explorations of improvisation in their own practice will be fueled by discussions, recordings, performance documentation and texts by artists, practitioners, and writers, including Rob Mazurek, Tomeka Reid & Nicole Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, Sun Ra, Umm Kalsoum, Kid Koala & Mixmaster Mike, and more. Students engage in a variety of in-class approaches to individual and collective improvisation. These include exercises on exploring and expanding one's instrument of choice, close-listening and responsive-listening projects aimed at increased attention to collaborators in the moment, and projects in which cross-cultural and historical approaches to improvisation are analyzed and mobilized towards individual interpretation. These are amplified by meetings with visiting artists who share their experiences of improvisation in a wide range of contexts.

Lit Art: Literary styles of describing, interpreting, and explaining works of art.	3025 (001)	David Raskin	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This undergraduate seminar is for all types of writers (critics, creative writers, and scholars) who want to analyze the dimensions of literary and scholarly forms of description, interpretation, and explanation. Poetry, short stories, personal essays, passages from novels, and art-history articles will form the ground for weekly encounters with works of art in the Art Institute of Chicago, as we compare what we read to what we encounter in person. Each class meeting has a tripartite structure, as we compare a literary engagement with a work of art, evaluate a scholarly argument about the same piece or its creator, and personally engage the same or similar work in the Art Institute of Chicago. We will respond to the works of art currently on display, and, as warranted, pair the appropriate scholarship with creative works by writers such as Ada Limón, Victoria Chang, Hilton Als, Diane Seuss, Mark Doty, Hanif Abdurraqib, Wayne Koestenbaum, Vivek Shraya, Cris Kraus, Ben Lerner, Teju Cole, Eileen Myles, Gwendolyn Brooks, Paisley Rekdal, Zadie Smith, Jeffrey Yang, and John Ashbery, among others. Students will write concise analyses of every reading assignment plus a weekly follow-up reflection as preparation for a final hybrid research paper that situates their personal moment of encounter with a work of art in the Art Institute of Chicago within art-historical scholarship.

Handmade Cinema	3027 (001)	Tatsu Aoki	Mon 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Filmmakers often run into a problem of depending too much on equipment. This makes one believe that it is impossible to be creative without elaborate 'tools.' Artists of film can produce images in any circumstance-with or without complicated tools. If a filmmaker understands the process and mechanism of how images can be generated, equipment can be as minimal as one paper clip. This class is designed to introduce a variety of skills and ideas to make images with simple tools. Students are encouraged to make their own equipment to produce their own image effects. The course mainly focuses on reproduction of images without using large equipment. Some of the ideas introduced in this course are making images without camera and/or lenses; animation; pixilation; time exposure; time lapse; images using slides, stills, and newspapers; all phases of in-camera effects; rephotographing frames; printing in camera; optical printing; and contact printing.

Figure It Out: Sculpture and Bodies	3056 (001)	Mindy Rose Schwartz	Tues 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description The figure in contemporary art has long been debated, but just as painting never died as forecasted so, too, the figure. It has morphed, become cyber, stayed representational, been found in the world and fashioned of any medium, while dissolving the line between it and abstraction, making it permeable and evocative. In this course students will be challenged to redefine the boundaries of traditional sculptural representation using the figure as a catalyst for evoking a range of content. We will consider human and animal bodies broadly, as cultural, historical, and constantly changing entities. Through an examination of diverse approaches related to figurative sculpture, students will be encouraged to engage with a variety of sculptural processes and media (such as assemblage, mold making, modeling, carving, welding, mixed media, fund object) to configure forms, as well as and conceptual frameworks in order to articulate personal and social narratives, and cultural critiques. Addressing a range of cultures and historical periods, our inquiry will focus on: To what ends has the figure been employed (portraiture, faith, identity, gesture, embodiment, fragment, ritual, allegory, affect)? How does a work refer to without fully representing the figure? Why has it been an enduring subject/form? What are challenges and opportunities does it offer us today? Our inquiry will be guided by readings (Gordon Hall, Elizabeth Grosz, Katarzyna Trzeciak, Elaine Scarry, Sara Ahmed, and others) and viewing/museum visits of such artists as Jaime Isenstein, Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, Simone Fattal, Sarah Peters, Hew Locke, Rachel Harrison, Nicole Eisenman, Anna Mendieta, Yinka Shonibare, Simone Leigh, Kiki Smith, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Wangechi Mutu, Louise Bourgeois, Thomas Houseago, Kimsooja, David Altmejd, Lee Bul and Cajsa von Zeipel.

The Forms of Beauty Past: Historical European Fashions	3098 (001)	Caroline Marie Bellios, Gerry Quinton	Sat, Sat 1:15 PM - 4:00 PM, 1:15 PM - 4:00 PM In Person
Description Greek chitons, Elizabethan farthingales, Regency bum rolls, Victorian crinolines, Art Deco bias: the fashionable European body shape has changed era by era, the lines of the body accentuated and distorted through constrictions and protrusions. In this course, you will research those changing ideals of beauty through paintings, drawings, fashion plates, periodicals, literature, satire, and extant garments and organize your research into foundational tools to support future learning and making. Through the research you will also engage with traditional methods and techniques for creating these silhouettes; techniques and skills as essential to the student interested in historical costume design as those creating worlds of science fiction and fantasy. These investigations into changing the shape of the human body will also spark discussion around new ideas in sculpture, object design, creative motion, and the mutability of body identity. Readings from noted fashion historians and theorists Caroline Evans, Linda Baumgarten, Valerie Steele and the Fashioning the Body exhibition catalogue will be read in parallel with essays from feminist theorists and texts exploring ideas of embodiment and performativity. Remote visits with historians, reenactors, and archives such as the Newberry Library¿s special collection and the Art Institute¿s Textile collection will offer a rare opportunity to examine the qualities and materials of objects and garments made in a time distinct from our own. Projects throughout the course will include reference journals, illustrated glossaries, annotated bibliographies, historical sewing technique samplers, and half-scale structural garments. For final projects students will produce a research paper and a costume for a historical figure or fantastical character replicating the forms of beauty past.

Structuring Narrative & Building the Imagined World	3104 (001)	Gitanjali Kapila	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description This course focuses on using the principles of narrative and narrative structure to explore worldbuilding as a method for creating platform-specific time-based media. Students will engage a variety of writings in order to apprehend the theoretical tools necessary for 1) understanding narrative as a controlled and mediated communication between writer and viewer; 2) apprehending the critical role of designed spaces and narrative mapping in creating imagined worlds; 3) interrogating the ways in which media technologies and delivery systems inform the centering of different narrative perspectives; 4) exploring the process of activating narrative content in the imagined world for platform-specific media. The works of Sophocles, Aristotle, and Joseph Campbell will provide a coordinated theoretical framework for course content. Over the course of the semester students should expect to produce an ¿imagined world¿ which has undergone at least 5-6 iterations based on course content. Students will also be expected to produce a screenplay, television pilot and bible, game bible or other platform-specific writing based on the world that the student builds.

Cont Narr:Love Art/Hate Artist	3105 (001)	Eileen Favorite	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description How do the biographical details of an artist's life influence our attitude toward their work? Should an artist's politics?both personal and public?influence our aesthetic response to the artwork itself? Or does a work of art become its own entity, detached from its creator? Perhaps, as the deconstructionists advocate, a text or image only bears an accidental relationship to the author's conscious intentions, and thus the creator is superfluous to the work itself. In this class, we study the lives and works of such artists as Chester Himes, J.D. Salinger, Patricia Highsmith, and Sylvia Plath, to examine why we tolerate some behaviors and abhor others. By reviewing biographies, journals, films, and the primary text or artwork itself, we wrestle with the question, is it possible to love the art when you hate/disapprove of/dislike the life the artist led? Students will write shared discussion pieces, a 8-10-page research paper on an artist of their choice, and participate in team debates. CONTENT WARNING: The content and discussion in this course will necessarily sometimes engage with issues of human suffering. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with, including graphic or intense content that discusses or represents racism, mental illness, and sexual or physical violence.

Holography	3111 (001)	Alan Perry	Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM In Person
Description In this introduction to the theory, tools, and techniques of three-dimensional imaging, students study the structure of light and the ways in which it can convey information, and familiarize themselves with the basic tool of holography, the laser. Students make several different styles of holograms, some viewable in laser light, and some in white light. Techniques involving spatial juxtaposition and montage are also explored. The focus is on developing a working knowledge of the medium from the perspective of its artistic possibilities. Readings will include journal articles that touch on the history, techniques, and aesthetics of holography. Some of the artists we will consider include Sally Weber, Mary Harman, Paula Dawson, and John Kaufman. We will also look at prior student work and discuss holography as an interdisciplinary, installation-based practice in addition to holography as a medium in and of itself. Lastly, we will discuss the unique issues around and strategies for exhibiting holographic works. Over the course of the semester, students should expect to produce a body of work of laser- and/or white-light-viewable holograms over a sequence of assignments that conceptually build off one another, and work collaboratively to produce a digital hologram.

Hybrid Objects	3113 (001)	Andrew Hunter	Tues, Tues 3:30 PM - 9:15 PM, 3:30 PM - 9:15 PM In Person
Description This studio course explores the interconnected nature of our physical and digital realities and their implications as technical, physical, and conceptual tools for understanding and presenting spatial ideas. This course teaches students to integrate the digital and the analog through process demonstrations including 3D modeling, 3D scanning, digital visualization, 3D printing, CNC output, mold making, pattern making, as well as metal and wood fabrication. This course covers planar and spatial construction methodologies. This course engages themes of identity and place in sculpture and presents the idea that these concepts are expressed uniquely via this hybrid process. However, students in this course are free to choose the content of their own work. Practical application of technical demonstrations build on lectures and discussions considering works by Tauba Auerbach, Macarthur Freeman, The Long Now Foundation, Charles Ray, Spurse, Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi), Amanda Williams, and Wim Delvoye among others. Students will work individually to create 3 artworks to be presented in a final critique. Students will share these artworks in-process in 2 or 3 informal critiques. Each student will also complete a short written research project.	Class Number 1710	Credits 3	Department Sculpture Location 280 Building Rm 127, 280 Building Rm 127A

The Things of Mathematics	3117 (001)	Samuel Dodds	Wed 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description The 'Things of Mathematics' are its tools. The purpose of this course is to analyze and build some of the things that have built mathematics. Tools such as the abacus, astrolabe, sextant, sector, slide rule, planimeter, and others were ancestors of the earliest computers, such as the difference engine and the differential analyzer, which were special-purpose and mechanical. In this course, we rediscover how mathematics was literally 'handled' by earlier people. The course content extends across traditional divisions in mathematics (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus). It also compares systems of notation and calculation, incorporating perspectives on mathematical cognition from psychology and anthropology. The focus of this course is making as the means to engage with mathematical concepts. Standard textbook-type excerpts will be used to convey the needed mathematical background. There will also be readings to give historical context to each tool and related mathematical topic. In order to revisit fundamental mathematics in a rigorous way, we will examine, understand, and actually build devices such as those mentioned. The sharing of student work and experience gained in the making process will be a consistent component of this course. A main component of student work is the making of math tools via given instructions. There will also be in-class problem solving activities to gain math facility, and there will be weekly readings for background accompanied by short comprehension quizzes.

Intermediate Screenwriting	3124 (001)	John Petrakis	Tues 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description Intermediate Screenwriting expands upon the skills learned in Beginning Screenwriting while preparing certain students for the longer-form writing required in Advanced Screenwriting. The purpose of the course is to allow students to develop mid-length stand-alone screenplays, adaptations from short stories or pilots for television series, while paying special attention to the vital role that drafting plays in the development of a successful script. Since Intermediate Screenwriting is first and foremost a writing class, there will be no formal reading or viewing assignments. However, throughout the semester, the professor will suggest books and articles to read and films to watch, that should help further and develop the various ideas that students are wrestling with in their scripts. For example, a work such as Kieslowski's ''The Decalogue'' will be suggested for students looking to embrace a thematic approach to a series of short films. Students have the option of completing two drafts of a 60-page script or three drafts of a 30-45 page script. Completion of these drafts are required to pass the class Prerequisites Prerequisite: FVNM 3024.

Doing Democracy	3125 (001)	Joshua Rios	Thurs 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description What egalitarian ideals have shaped our conception of public education? How has the promise of democratic schools been undermined by white privilege, racism, class-based discrimination, inequitable funding, colonialism, patriarchy, and disregard for the human impact on the natural world? This course builds a foundation for understanding the politics of schooling by exploring the struggle for democratic education in Chicago, contextualized by contemporary global decolonial practices in education. Students will consider how shifting conceptions of schooling are responses to the contemporary cultural moment¿recognizing how curriculum supports the beliefs and needs of the status quo as well as how curriculum might critique and propose new ways of being as individuals and as societies. The course explores a broad range of histories, philosophies, and approaches to schooling, including Freedom Schools, Native American boarding schools, transformative justice in education, play and free child movements, teacher-led movements, environmental studies, and the fight to defend ethnic studies programs as well as attempts to re-segregate and privatize public schools. Artists, designers and scholars to be studied include Tonika Lewis, Eve Ewing, Elizabeth Todd-Breland, Jose Resendiz, Borderless Studios, Interference Archive and Alexis Rockman. Readings from the field of art education by Doug Blandy, Laurie Hicks, and Mark Graham will trace the emergence of eco-art and place-based art education curriculum. Field trips include visits to school sites, Chicago Board of Education meetings and exploration of CBOE archives. Course assignments include short response papers and course readings. Students conduct and report on six hours of observations in schools, sites of school decision-making, and in places where people attempt to build democratic processes related to schools. Students will conduct independent research on topics related to contemporary issues and schooling. Each student will prepare and present a culminating project proposal for a school whose curriculum and structures address their political and social concerns and pedagogical vision.

Mod: Arthur Rimbaud	3132 (001)	Patrick Durgin	Mon 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Poet of 'logical revolts,' of sexual freedom, inveterate modernist, Symbolist, and inspiration to beatniks, conceptual artists and punks, Arthur Rimbaud wrote some of the most enduring poems of world literature. His career lasted all of five years, between 1870-1875. This course immerses you in his poetry in verse and in prose, exposes you to some of the criticism surrounding his work, and examines how the figure of Rimbaud has been appropriated by late twentieth century visual and musical artists, particularly Patti Smith and David Wojnarowicz. Texts will include A Season in Hell, 'Letters from a Seer,' 'Drunken Boat,' and Kristin Ross's classic literary-critical study The Emergence of Social Space. Students will read daily, respond with short written responses and a final essay, as well as contribute to daily, vigorous, analytical class discussions.

Adv Wksp: Writing Landscape	3140 (001)	Jose Moctezuma	Tues 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description In this course, we will explore the history and nature of landscape in literature, but especially as a practice of description, catalogue, attention, and scale. With a specific attention to ekphrasis (the description or reproduction of a visual work in a literary format), we will practice 'decolonizing' landscape from its problematic entanglements with the enclosure movement and the history of colonialism, and seek out ways of redefining landscape within urban and bucolic environments, at once gaining a new understanding of what Donna Haraway called 'natureculture,' the entangled multispecies aspects of environment that thrive in hybridity and codependence. We will experiment with different forms of writing, incorporating, and deconstructing landscape within our writing and creative practices. Course work will vary but typically will include weekly reading assignments, short low-stakes writing assignments, 2 workshop slots, and a final creative project that engages with the course topic.

Adv. Wksp: Fiction Novella	3140 (002)	Kathie Bergquist	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Requiring more sustained attention than a short story, and a more exclusive and disciplined structure than a novel, middle-length fiction (spanning between 30-150 pages) has much to teach the developing writer about compression and story arc and what Nabokov described as 'diminishing large things and enlarging small ones'. In this workshop, students read and analyze several exemplary examples of novellas and novelettes that could include authors ranging from Franz Kafka and Nella Larsen to Rachel Ingalls and Justin Torres, among others. In addition to completing weekly journals based on their observations of craft and writerly process and weekly discussions centered on craft elements in the mid-length form, students will develop their own mid-length fiction draft, through student-centered and ethical critique and feedback practice.

Mysticism in/around/under Mathematics	3152 (001)	Luna Jaskowiak	Fri 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Issac Newton is credited with creating mathematical models of the laws of classical physics as well as being an inventor of infinitesimal calculus, but is less well-know as an alchemist despite almost a tenth of his writing being dedicated to the subject. Far from being an isolated example, this is a surprisingly normal occurrence when considered against what we know of the history of mathematics. In this course we will examine the shared history and similar ontological and epistemological structure of mystical and mathematical practice Babylon in the early second millennium until now. Some relevant topics that this class will investigate include: epistemology, ontology, access to knowledge, collective acceptance of new knowledge, what constitutes forbidden or obscene knowledge, the irrationality of the square root of 2, Cantor's project, occult mathematical practice in the second world war, basic algebraic geometry, the psychology of new religious movements and secret societies, recent history of mathematics and natural science, mathematical logic, what ¿is¿ truth, systems of inference, symbolic representation, combinatorics, chaos magic, aesthetics of mathematics, meditation and more. Course work may vary, but will primarily consist of weekly reading and short quizzes in addition to less frequent writing assignments. Prerequisites Prerequisite: First Year English requirement.

The World and the Copy: Buildings, Gardens, Cities	3157 (001)	Shiben Banerji	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This course examines different models of architectural practice in Byzantine, early Islamic, Zagwe, Mughal, Ming, Dogon, Khmer, Mayan, and Qing society. We interrogate how buildings, gardens, and cities produce religious and political authority, conjure images of the past and dreams of the future, and map continuity and change. Through comparative analysis we develop theoretical models of architectural copying and world-making, and evolve a historiography that emphasizes the global provenance and transnational routes of architectural practice. Projects we study include Hagia Sophia, the Umayyad Mosque, Lalibela, Fatehpur Sikri, Angkor Wat, Chichen Itza, and the Forbidden City. Students also learn to relate classroom discussions to objects in the Art Institute's collections. Quizzes and in-class writing assignments based on required readings.

Soft Bulletins: Biological Communications	3163 (001)	Brett Ian Balogh	Thurs 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Societies, ecologies and organisms are complex systems that require coordination among their disparate elements to function. These biological systems accomplish this by communicating in a variety of different ways: sound, light, touch, chemical messaging, the exchange of genetic material and electrical impulses. This studio art course critically examines the variety of ways simple biological systems communicate through the lens of contemporary discourse around posthuman roles in the anthropocene and its attendant problems of mass extinction, climate change, clean energy and dwindling resources. The course will examine examples of biological communications among multicellular and unicellular non-human organisms and will draw on a history of artwork in the field of bioart. The studio asks the student to identify (speculate) ways they can intervene in, mimic or participate in these communication networks in order to inspire empathy and establish new ways of interspecies communication. Course activities will be supported by the purchase of kit whose contents will serve as tools to facilitate observation, recording, measurement and conversation with the subjects of our explorations. Each student will research a topic of interest and will respond to it through the lens of their own practice in the creation of a final project. No prior skills in electronics or art and technology studies are required; however, curiosity and a willingness to learn are a must.

LH:Speaking Images/Visual Texts	3190 (001)	Pamela Barrie	Tues 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description From hieroglyphs to haiku?when do images function as words, words as images? Where do word, image and idea meet, and what are the potentials for communication and artistic expression? From the Renaissance fad for emblem poems, to the Asian-inspired poetics of the 20 th century Imagists, these questions have arisen a number of times in the history of the alphabetic cultures, as well as those employing other forms of graphic notation. In this course, we study a diverse range of verbal/visual traditions and movements, the philosophies and theories behind them, and their cultural and aesthetic aims and achievements. Students write a series of short essays in response to the course materials, and also do independent research for a presentation and paper on a particular aspect of the topic.

LH: The Lives of Birds	3190 (002)	Peter O'Leary	Thurs 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description In 1865, Emily Dickinson wrote, ¿Split the Lark ¿ and you¿ll find the Music.¿ Upon seeing his first peregrine falcon, J.A. Baker remarked, ¿I have seen many since then, but none has excelled it for speed and fire of spirit. For ten years I spent all my winters searching for that restless brilliance, for the sudden passion and violence that peregrines flush from the sky.¿ This course explores the meaning of birds in some of the world¿s literature. We will focus on the observation of birds as well as the metaphorical significations of birds. And we will consider what disasters birds augur in the time of climate crisis. We will look at mysticism, poetry, memoir, and description. And birds, of course. Readings include The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-din Attar, The Peregrine by J.A. Baker, The Redstart by John Buxton, The Warbler Road by Merrill Gilfillan, For the Good of All, Do Not Destroy the Birds by Jennifer Moxley, and poetry by Dickinson, Whitman, Robert Duncan, Robinson Jeffers, Sylvia Legris, Lesley Harrison, and Tom Pickard. Students will also make use of David Allen Sibley¿s Field Guide to the Birds of the Eastern United States.

Truth, Perception and Story-Telling in Artists' Books	3191 (001)	Alex Karenina Kostiw	Tues 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Stories are a fundamental way that we share and understand information to make meaning. Storytelling, then, is in part an investigation of ?truths??of various realities that shape how we see the world. The intersection of content, internal narrative structure, and physical form, storytelling can illuminate ?truths? in ways that cause us to more deeply examine our perceptions, ideas, and beliefs. This course focuses on notions of truth in expression: how a fictional approach can express emotional truths; how multiple and contradictory views of a situation can reveal a truth; and how perceptions and beliefs can be called into question through story construction. A selection of readings and works, as well as visits to the Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection, will provide examples of traditional vs. nontraditional, linear vs. nonlinear, and fiction vs. nonfiction narratives. Together with exercises in paper-based forms, they are starting points for exploring physical structures, methods, and devices of narrative discourse. The course treats the book form in broad terms: sequencing that reveals content or meaning over time. In 3-4 projects, students will develop their own content, work within project parameters to construct stories through image and/or text, and experiment with possibilities in narrative structure and form, whether paper-based or in other media.

Description In this course, we will examine how a variety of media¿from bestselling books to experimental films¿have represented and contributed to environmental justice movements. From Silent Spring to Standing Rock, we will engage with texts and films that use subversive storytelling to resist environmental degradation and confront the climate crisis. Our syllabus will focus on Black- and Brown-led movements in North America while also interrogating the meaning and scope of environmental justice worldwide. Throughout the semester, students will also have the opportunity to create small- and large-scale publications that communicate with and about environmental justice movements¿from zines to Tik Toks to protest banners. Ultimately, through our readings, screenings, discussions, and assignments, we will think through the social, ethical, and political implications of making media about the environmental crisis.

Top: Water Works: Narratives of Crisis and Resista	3192 (002)	Jane Robbins Mize	Thurs 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description How can critical and creative work influence human¿water relations? As the threat of droughts, floods, and severe storms intensifies, scholars, artists, and activists have turned their attention to bodies of water. In this course, students will explore the growing field of the 'blue humanities' while examining narratives of water crisis and resistance across media. We will ask questions such as: How do Western understandings of water as a ¿natural resource¿ lead to environmental and epistemological crises? How does storytelling contribute to resistance movements and advocate for the rights of water? What do the blue humanities contribute to the broader discipline of Environmental Studies, and how might the field intervene in scientific and political discourses?

The Unstable Nucleus: Nuclear Technology and Society	3207 (001)	Sarah Zhou Rosengard	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description At the turn of the 21st century, scientists proposed that we have entered a new geological epoch, defined entirely by the impacts of human activities on the planet. They titled this epoch `the Anthropocene¿, and a specific working group of scholars has recently elected to mark the beginning of this period with the first detonation of the atomic bomb. How do we reconcile the realities of nuclear contamination with the popularity that nuclear energy has been gaining as a low-carbon, `clean¿ energy technology? In this class, we study the science of radioactivity and the unstable isotopes behind the intertwined technologies of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. We will draw from current events like the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, recent advances in nuclear fusion, and Chicago¿s rich history in the development of the first atomic bomb. Through class readings, discussions, and homework assignments, we will utilize principles in isotope chemistry and radiation science to evaluate the impacts and risks of nuclear technology since the 1950s, and compare these scientific analyses to a plethora of artworks that have engaged in the same conversations. There will also be an opportunity to collaborate with a Chicago Public School and share our in-class findings and projects with a middle school science class in Chinatown.

Western Experimental Music: Disrupting the Canon	3213 (001)	Allie n Steve Mullen	Wed 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM In Person
Description A critical survey of Western music from 1950 to the present, this course investigates the western experimental music tradition with a focus on issues of representation. Where are the women and BIPOC composers in studies on western experimental music? What are the implications of classifying certain forms of experimental music over others as `classical¿ music and `fine art¿ music? What do these classifications tell us about cultural values, power, and the privileging of certain musics and voices over others? As we identify the supposed `canonic¿ figures of the period, the techniques they used, the processes they employed, and the creative motivations that drove them, we will note the collapse of tonality, and the influence of popular and `world¿ music styles on Western `art music.¿ We will look at the role of `silence¿ in music, aleatoric or `chance¿ music, total serialism, musique concrète, minimalism, jazz, emerging popular styles, and the appropriations of Black American, Pacific Islander, and Hindustani music traditions. We will study the music and thinking of composers like John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Steve Reich, while asking ourselves why so much more has been written about their work than the work of composers like Daphne Oram. We will also discuss why the works of saxophonist John Coltrane and rapper Kendrick Lamar are not typically classified as 'art' music in Western music studies. The course includes weekly reading and listening, 3 short writing assignments as well as experimental creative analysis, a term paper, and an in-class presentation.

Top:Sounding Bodies	3300 (001)	Whitney D. Johnson	Tues 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description This course will situate the sociological knowledge of the aesthetic ?good? in the corporeal techniques of hearing and listening, particularly when the artistic medium of sound crosses the boundaries of the brain, body, architectural space, and material objects. As auditory culture has moved from the concert hall and music venue into galleries, museums, and outdoor public spaces, cultural practitioners have been prompted to ask how bodies perceive, understand, and evaluate the sounds they encounter. With a rich literature on sound, space, and embodiment, this course will not only survey sonic works in art music and the gallery arts but also the ways that technological advancements have changed exhibition practices and the perceptual capabilities of bodies. In combination with sound studies, a nexus of social theory and phenomenology will draw out the connection between bodies and technologies. Prerequisites Prerequisite: First Year English requirement.

Type Design and Lettering	3311 (001)	Mary Krysinski	Tues 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Typeface design is a specialized sub-category of typography. Not every graphic designer designs type, every designer must be proficient in the more general topic of typography for their profession. Type design differs from typography because it involves the design and production of letterforms, which are a part of typography, but does not involve the details and setting of type in a format that conveys a particular message. This course is for students who want to learn the technical skills necessary to design a font that can be used in a professional setting, and with the software tools used by graphic designers. Students will learn about the history of type design, and explore various methods of letterform drawing, learning the minute details and characteristics required for legibility. This will be used as a basis for experimenting with different styles of letterforms to create their own font, and learn how to use the necessary software to publish their font for commercial use. Readings by type designers will be included: 'Designing Type' by Karen Cheng, and 'House Industries Lettering Manual' by Ken Barber are two of the books which readings will be taken from. 'Sign Painters: The Movie' is one of the movies that will be shown. Guest speakers from the Chicago area will be brought in. Students will be expected to produce one complete font design by the end of the semester. Before starting their font, smaller assignments will be given which involve different lettering techniques, researching and drawing a historical style of lettering, and semi-weekly readings.

Existentialism	3320 (001)	David B. Johnson	Tues 3:30 PM - 6:15 PM In Person
Description Existentialism has left a profound influence on contemporary Western thought, including philosophy, literature, film, theater, and graphic arts. It is a philosophical movement oriented toward two major themes - the analysis of human existence and the centrality of human choice. Existentialist conceptions of freedom and value arise from their view of the individual. According to Existentialist thinkers we are all ultimately alone, isolated islands of subjectivity in an objective world ,who have absolute freedom over our internal nature. Existentialism traces its roots to the writings of Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche. As a philosophy of human existence, existentialism found its best 20th-century exponent in its foremost representative Albert Camus. Camus believed that the essence of human existence in freedom. He criticized the human tendency toward 'bad faith,' reflected in humanity's perverse attempts to deny its own responsibility and flee from the truth of its inescapable freedom. In this course, we will examine themes of subjectivity, individuality, freedom and meaning that are central to Existentialist philosophy. To arrive at these goals, we will turn to works of philosophy, literature and film. As part of the course we will practice the principles of persuasive writing by learning how to make claims, analyze and make arguments about the works we will be discussing.

Top: Animal Ethics	3330 (002)	Raja El Halwani	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Non-human animals are, whether directly or indirectly, an important part of human lives, and human beings are an important part of animals¿ lives. Human beings are always preoccupied with moral questions, and such questions have been recently finally brought to bear, with intense focus, on the lives of non-human animals and how human beings ought to relate to them. This course addresses some of these questions: (1) Do animals have moral standing? If yes, what does this mean and what is this moral standing? (For example, do they have rights or is it their sentience that matters?) (2) May we consume animals or their products? If no, why not? If yes, under what conditions? (3) Under what conditions may we experiment on animals? (4) What is it about animals¿ nature, as opposed to plants¿, that leads some to claim that it is wrong to kill or use them but not wrong to kill or use plants? (5) May we hunt animals in the wild? May we interfere in their lives to help lessen their difficult lives? (6) What are some debates surrounding the ethics of zoos and aquariums? Finally, (7) what are morally acceptable and unacceptable political activism on behalf of animals? Students will gain an understanding of important issues and theories in animal ethics; critically evaluate their own moral convictions; and learn to construct arguments and explain philosophical ideas. Among others, authors we read are Carol Adams, Carl Cohen, David DeGrazia, Rosalind Hursthouse, Alastair Norcross, Mark Rowlands, Tom Regan, Peter Singer, Roger Scruton, and Nick Zangwill.

Top: Philosophy of Memory	3330 (003)	Irina Ruvinsky	Mon 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Many philosophers from a range of traditions have offered theories of memory and have recruited memory to address other philosophical questions about personal identity, knowledge and meaning. This seminar will focus on a variety of philosophical and literary works ranging from St. Augustine and Rousseau to Lock and Bergson. We will make connections to historical treatments of memory and explore memory¿s connection to other areas of philosophy, such as personal identity and consciousness of time. The goal of this course is to think more carefully about how and why individuals and societies remember, the role of forgetfulness and the relationship between memory and emotion. In order to answer these questions we will bring together works in philosophy, sociology, literature and film. Assignments vary, but they might include some or many of the following: weekly reading responses, quizzes, papers, and exams. Prerequisites Prerequisite: First Year English requirement.

Top: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics: Issues in	3330 (004)	Burkay Ozturk	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Today western societies put science on a pedestal. As a result, science informs anything and everything from city planning to whether you should put soy or oat milk in your latte. Does science deserve this reputation? If it does, what is the thing that makes science so special and authoritative? Or should we be worried about the domination of culture by science? In this course, we will study those questions with an eye on high-profile cases of scientific fraud and types of statistical manipulation known as 'p-hacking.' The reading list includes articles and book chapters by Paul Feyerabend, Alan Chalmers, Karl Popper, Imre Lakatos, Thomas Kuhn, Larry Laudan, David Goodstein, Jerry Fodor, Aubrey Clayton, Jacob Cohen, David Lykken, John Ioannidis and Richard Smith.

Description About 9 billion years after the Big Bang, our Solar System's sun ignited from the gravitational collapse of a molecular cloud. This course explores the 4.6 billion years of subsequent chemical evolution of the Solar System. Our tool of study, cosmochemistry, lies at the crossroads of chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy, and biology. As such, we can use it to help us answer some fundamental questions, including: What are the elemental and molecular building blocks of our Solar System? Under what conditions, and by which processes, did these building blocks assemble into planets, asteroids, moons, comets, meteorites, and interstellar dust? What is the Earth made of, how did it evolve over time, and why do we need to study extraterrestrial materials to understand our home planet? Where did water come from and what led to the rise of life on Earth? How can we use this knowledge to guide future space exploration?

Students are expected to critically inquire into the reality and complexity of people's lives in Japan as reflected in cultural products and to explore cultural transformation in Japan as a part of the dynamics of globalization. Locally 'common' value and knowledge is challenged as culture traverses borders. From the expansion of Japanese fan communities to the Asia-Pacific region and Brazil, to feminist criticism of gender representation, we will employ case studies to overcome our conscious or unconscious exoticism and to deepen our understanding toward Japanese culture in global context. Key points of inquiry will include: what racial and ethnic relations/tensions underlying global popular culture; economic and political factors driving trends in Japanese popular culture; gender, sexuality, and the politics of representation.

Top:Sociology of Consumption	3500 (004)	Aiko Kojima Hibino	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Consumption is central to our lifestyles and identities in contemporary societies. What you wear, what you eat, what you watch ¿ in short, what you buy¿ seems to confirm who you are or how you want to display yourself to society. What does it mean to be a consumer, and how does that specific identity intersect with other identities, such as a citizen, a producer, and an artist? In this course, we will explore various arguments about consumption in modern society to understand the development and significance of this specific economic and cultural behavior.

Surface Tensions: Taxidermy and Contemporary Art	3652 (001)	Giovanni Aloi	Tues 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Taxidermy became the most important tool of knowledge of natural history museums during the Victorian period when it fascinated audiences with its hyperrealist aura. Yet, it was never considered a form of fine art. Today taxidermy has entered the gallery space, but not on the merit of its accurate realism. The opposite is true: unrealistic taxidermy is the symptom of a difficult relationship with nature and alterity that marks today's ecological and capitalist global crises.

History of Philosophy: Medieval to Renaissance Philosophy	3702 (001)	Robert Kiely	Wed 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description The story of European philosophy in the Middle Ages is one of loss and recovery. A great deal of classical thought was lost when the Roman Empire crumbled, and those ideas were reintroduced and reconciled to European culture in a series of intellectual events spanning a thousand years. In this course, we trace the course of this process, from the monastic culture of the Early Middle Ages, to the Aristotelian world of the High Medieval universities, to the classical resurgence of the Italian renaissance. We explore a wide variety of written material. Augustine of Hippo and Boethius illustrate the period immediately after the fall of Rome, while Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd demonstrate the crucial role played by Arab philosophy after the 9th century. Hildegard of Bingen and Peter Abelard embody the energy of European thought in the 12th century, and the scholastic synthesis of Thomas Aquinas represents the culmination of that intellectual energy. Finally, the work of Christine de Pisan and Pico della Mirandola manifest the Humanist character of the Otalian Renaissance. Assignments vary, but they might include some or many of the following: weekly reading responses, quizzes, papers, and exams. Prerequisites Prerequisite: First Year English requirement.

History of Philosophy: Hegel to the 20th Century	3704 (001)	Guy Elgat	Thurs 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description What is it to be an autonomous agent? To what extent is our agency free? In this course, we examine the manner in which the notion of individual, autonomous freedom is criticized and undermined in various ways in 19th and 20th century philosophy. After introducing the German philosopher Immanuel Kant¿s thought, with its strong conception of individual autonomy, we look at Hegel¿s critique of Kant and discuss his philosophy of history as a rational force that shapes and enables freedom. We then look at Marx and the materialist twist he gives to Hegel¿s idea: it is not reason but economic conditions that determine a person¿s degree of freedom. We then discuss Nietzsche¿s ideas to the effect that it is certain socio-psychological forces that shape what we value. We end by looking at structuralist (Michel Foucault) and feminist (Marilyn Friedman) approaches to the question of autonomy. Assignments vary, but they might include some or many of the following: weekly reading responses, quizzes, papers, and exams. Prerequisites Prerequisite: First Year English requirement.

Madness	3740 (001)	Michael Nagelbach	Thurs 6:45 PM - 9:30 PM All Online
Description ?Much madness is divinest sense,? Emily Dickinson wrote, further observing that ?much sense [is] starkest madness.? The poet insisted that the majority sets and enforces the standard by which sanity is evaluated. This course will introduce a variety of topics in the psychology of madness through lectures, discussions, and readings. In the twenty-first century, the study of the mind ?in psychiatry, psychoanalysis, clinical psychology, and especially psychopharmacology and neuroscience?claim tremendous scientific authority and exert enormous influence. This course explores varied clinical descriptions and models of madness. It also explores madness as a key cultural symbol, representing profound threats to order and rationality.

Intelligent Artifice: A.I. and its Past Lives	3755 (001)	Lisa M Zaher	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description This course offers historical context for the contemporary fascination with Artificial Intelligence, or AI. While we will consider some contemporary art incorporating AI-- a genre still in its infancy-- our primary focus will be the myriad responses to the question, 'can computers think?' with an emphasis on processes of autopoiesis--self generating systems and creation-- in histories of 20th and 21st-century art, design and computation. We will consider how cybernetics and other interdisciplinary loci of research in the 20th century have informed our contemporary rhetoric and experience of intelligent machines-- and to anticipate what might be coming next. The seminar's emphasis on machine intelligence will inevitably draw us to the literature and plentiful artwork on other modes of 'non-human' consciousness, including that of plants and animals, which has also received considerable attention from artists. FOR ALL CATEGORIES BELOW, THESE ARE PARTIAL LISTS: Artists: hannah baer, Linda Dounia, Orphan Drift, Memo Atken, Ian Cheng, Libby Heaney, Refik Anadol, Rashaad Newsome, L[3]^2, Aria Dean, Hito Steyerl, Hollis Frampton, Patrick Clancy, 0100101110101101.org, Mark Tribe, Douglas Davis, Eduardo Kac, Olivier Auber, Gretchen Bender, Roy Ascott, Agnes Denes, Luis Benedit, Hans Haacke, Andy Warhol, Lazlo Moholy-Nagy / Authors: N.

This seminar will encourage students to explore, test and play with A.I. chatbots to research its implications for academic research and writing. Likewise, we will also probe A.I. image, music & video generators to examine the technology's capacities at present for future art and design, including AI tools used outside of the arts. Assignments will include weekly experiments that draw out comparisons of human creative action v. computer generated work. The final assignment will be a 7-10 page paper or project proposal.

Top:Intro Linguistic Anthrop	3800 (001)	Matilda Stubbs	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description Next to breathing and eating, communication is arguably the most important activity of daily life. This course explores the world of communication and the study of culture through language. The material centers around the major theoretical and epistemological developments throughout the history of linguistic inquiry (Wittgenstein, Sapir, Pierce), specifically focusing on the contributions of linguistic anthropology (Boas and Hymes) and ethnographies of language (Basso, Carr, Fox, Mendoza-Denton). We will also explore semiotics (Agha)? the study of signs and the micro-level methods of basic social interaction and conduct independent language fieldwork projects to learn the basics of transcription and discourse analysis.

Top: Anthro of China Today	3800 (002)	Saul T Thomas	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This course aims to approach China today through its various 'cultures' and 'subcultures'--the worlds of meaning constructed along with the establishment (and imposition) of identities of the 'self' and understandings and representations of all manner of internal and external 'others.' Our primary avenues of inquiry will be the broad categories of ethnicity, class, gender, and religion in the broadest senses. We will also discuss the methods and means of acquiring anthropological knowledge of China, and attempt to devise and conduct our own independent inquiries.

Medical Anthropology	3808 (001)	Christine M Malcom	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description In this course, we examine health and disease in cultural context. This requires challenging narrow Western views of health and the claim that biomedicine is objective and culture free. Topics include the overlapping, but non-identical, concepts of disease, illness, and sickness; the mind-body divide (or lack thereof); a historical overview of human health and cultural change; culture-specific medical practices, practitioners, and syncretism; population-specific health issues and health disparities; medicine under global, late-stage capitalism; and using anthropological knowledge to solve contemporary/emerging health problems. Readings vary but typically include historical works in the discipline by James Roney, George Foster, and Arthur Kleinman, as well as contemporary critical medical anthropology scholars, such as Paul Farmer, Marion Nestle, Marcia Inhorn, and Richard Sapolsky. We will approach these texts as a community, and each class meeting will foreground both small group and class-wide discussion grounded in readings. Students will complete weekly open-note quizzes and two open-note exams. In addition, students will give one presentation and complete three writing assignments.

Contemporary Art House Cinema: Fugue States	3818 (001)	Melika Bass	Mon 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description Through screenings, lectures, and readings, this course will provide students with an introduction to key filmmakers and films of contemporary international art house cinema. In particular, this class will explore feature-length fiction films that revolve --thematically or structurally--around the idea of the psychological fugue state (a form of amnesia), and/or the fugal musical structure of theme-repetition-variation. Films will be screened and discussed in their relation to national cinemas, cultural histories, genre, and primarily, film form. Through their critical writing, students will explore the ways those films and filmmakers utilize formal elements of cinema, narrative, characterization, thematic elements, and ideological perspectives, and demonstrate how those elements are used both for aesthetic purposes and to create meaning within a film Prerequisites Prerequisite: Art History Survey Requirement	Class Number 1088	Credits 3	Department Art History, Theory, and Criticism Location MacLean 1307

Self Care In The Age Of Hyper Productivity	3900 (001)	kg Gnatowski	Wed 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM In Person
Description We all have something that we do to offset stress and practice care for the self, be it jogging, knitting, reading, or meeting with friends. Care is a radical action. This course will look at care for the individual and care for the community as a strategy for art-making in the studio. Students will discuss self-care strategies that work for them and bring those strategies into the studio. The culminating project will be presenting a plan of action for continued self-care at SAIC and beyond with concrete examples of these strategies at play in the student's studio work. Students will work on a series of small sample projects throughout the semester in preparation for a final presentation of a finished piece. We will look to alternative models of evaluation and build our own unique dynamic approach to critiquing these pieces. Students will practice self-care by participating in the class reading group to discuss texts including All About Love by Bell Hooks, Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Marie Brown, Conversation with Mike Kelley, Keith Harring's Journals, Eva Hesse's notes and more. Texts will be selected to best reflect the student's interests and studio practices. We will look at artists and practitioners who bring care into their work across disciplines including Shana Moulton (film and performance), Aram Han Sifuentes (craft and participation), H. Melt (poetry and writing), Adrian Piper (research) and more. Students will be asked to contribute significantly to an extended bibliography of care for the class to share beyond the Spring semester. This course includes weekly text discussions, small group critiques on sample pieces and culminates in a full class critique of a self directed final project. Ideas for this project will be supported through individual meetings with the instructor and visiting guest self care experts.

Project Pragmatics: Getting Your Work Out Into the World	3900 (001)	kg Gnatowski	Fri 12:15 PM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This course will prepare students for developing project proposals in various contexts ranging from informal collaborations with artist run spaces to formal grant applications. We will focus not only the process of conceptualizing a project idea and persuasively organizing the necessary content around it, but also explore the pragmatic aspects of carrying it out and interfacing collaboratively with an art space, an institution, or other artists. In addition to workshopping the various elements needed for a hypothetical project, students will be required to conceptualize, propose and execute a proposal of some scale at the end of the semester to put into practice the skills and ideas explored in the course. In doing so, we will use the project proposal as a means to understand the broader ecosystem of the artworld and the different roles people play within them: artist, curator, programmer, institution, non-profit infrastructure, commercial and corporate factors, and more. Chicago?s landscape of artists, institutions and DIY spaces will provide ample case studies and first hand know-how for us to tap into as we build an understanding of the interrelationships between an artistic practice and the space within which it is presented or contextualized.

Architecture: Ugrd Studio 4	3900 (001)	Odile Compagnon	Tues/Thurs 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person
Description This two-day core undergraduate design studio focuses on the role of the designer in public life, and the role architecture plays in shaping public life. Students address the legal, ethical, cultural, and political concerns that shape architecture practice through the development of a design project. Students use rigorous representation techniques, achieving a professional level of presentation. Students are expected to complete a professional portfolio and resume, along with their design work. This studio examines issues of program, structure, and building skin to identify how public architecture represents itself as a cultural and political artifact. Rather than understanding architecture as autonomous from its social, cultural, and political environment, the studio posits that architecture must be integrated into the world, be informed by and transforming the social and technical systems that enable our built environments. Students will review and study design approaches to expand their understanding of possibilities about new spatial dynamics informed by emerging social relationships, hybrid conditions and the social shaping of technology. Readings, textual and visual case studies and site visits will vary, but always provide the background and theoretical grounding for the site and project analysis and final project development and portfolio presentation. Project work is a cumulative archive of the process of problem analysis and design exploration that are translations of observations, facts and ideas ? all being made visible through diagrams, drawings and models. Parts of the semesters work will be conducted in groups, in group discussions and workshops and/or site visits; and which will all contribute to individual project work and portfolio development to be presented in a final critique. This course requires students to have a laptop that meets SAIC's minimum hardware specs and runs the AIADO template.

Description In this course, you will be provided with practical and analytic tools with which to engage in an art world that extends globally and is deeply enmeshed in digital platforms. Each artist's relationship to this field is produced through our personal desires, hopes, assumptions, and ideas of success: articulating this highly individual profile will serve as our starting place. From there, we will consider the ways paintings and other art objects become data that is circulated, analyzed, and commodified. Through an examination of the networks- cultural, social, and economic- that characterize the present-day fields of art, we will develop strategies for building professional relationships, self-promotion, and presenting your work in public settings. Approaches to websites, artwork documentation, writing (bios, CVs, artist statements, modes of art criticism), business cards, budgeting, packing and shipping artwork, and studio upkeep will be covered in the form of class lectures and discussions, supplemented with homework assignments. The outcomes of this course are manifold: artists will make informed, researched decisions about the ways they want to participate in the world, while also learning basic skillsets as best practices for a sustainable, long-term career.
