* DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP II
Modernity can be usefully described as the transmutation of time and
space. In this course we will focus on specific changes in the pro-
duction of social space. How, for example, is global space produced--
legally, in international law, economically by multinational
corporations, and culturally through satelite communications systems?
While changes in the public spaces of urban/suburban America tell us
something about the values of those who produce such space, they also
tell us about the cultural and political consciousness/unconsciousness
of those who use it. Theories from a variety of disciplines will be
mobilized to help us understand these changes in social space.

001MWFDH1064Johnson, DonENGI 304GOOD VIBRATIONS: AN INTERDIS- CIPLINARY3.00
* DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP III
Introduction to physical acoustics and to physiology and psychology of
hearing. Musical, architectural and medical acoustics and
environmental noise control.
Acoustics is the most accessible physical science and many observed
phenomena can be understood without recourse to advanced mathematics.
It provides an excellent example of the formulation of a physical
theory,
the derivation of the field equations, the solution of problems,
experiment and measurement, and applications in the real world.
Acoustics has the additional advantage that the distances and times
involved are easily comprenended (inches and seconds, not nanometers or
picoseconds) and that, in many instances we, ourselves, are the
measuring instruments. The subjective, sometimes ambiguous, realm of
psychoacoustics contrasts with the objective, unambiguous realm of
physical acoustics. This, and the fact that acoustics is inherently an
interdisciplinary subject with musical, architectural, biomedical and
environmental aspects, make this course a good meeting place for majors
and nonmajors.

This course asks why U.S. writing, from the late eighteenth-century
novels of Charles Brockden Brown to the contemporary fiction of Toni
Morrison and Stephen King, has consistently turned to the gtohic form to
define a national literary identity. We will assess how the ghostly,
visions of the undead and the "uncanny" create a distinctly " American"
literature for "high brow" and "low brow" reader/writers alike. More
particularly, we will consider how U.S. writers use these gothic devices
to script the diverse racial identities of the populace into a U.S.
narrative and how the gothic represents the writers' fears that such
racial identities will disrupt the cohesiveness of a distinct national
literature. We will read work by Charles Brocken Brown, Edgar Allen Poe,
Stephen King, John Winthrop, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Harriet Jacobs,
William Faulken, and Toni Morrison, among others.

In cultural materialist as well as historicist and psychoanalytic
accounts, the modern child has consistently been equated with the
personal, the individual, and/or the psychological. This course
alternately examines how images of the child help to construct a
distinct national identity in U.S. writing from nationhood through the
nineteenth century. As a propnent of both national and individual
identity formation, the child in U.S. writing registers the complex
interrelations existing between the two. We will read essays by Slavoj
Zizeck, Joan Copjec, Teresa Brennan, and Homi Bhabha, among others, to
think about how the national and individual work with and against each
other and writings by Thomas Paine, Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglas,
Mark Twain, Harriet Wilson, Louisa May Alcott, and Henry James in order
to assess to what ends the child facilitates diverse political
relations or effects between national identity and individual
subjectivity.
