MUSC 31106 - Music in the Twentieth Century Course Credit: 1
MUSIC IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY This writing-intensive course will provide an overview of European and American art music since 1900. Our goal will be to “hear” the twentieth century’s history through its music. In this period, the composition and reception of classical music was powerfully shaped by tumultuous political events, cultural transformations, technological advances, and increasing global interconnectedness. As composers responded to these changes, they greatly expanded the range and means of musical expression, often in ways that rejected traditional assumptions of music as an art form and social practice. Using a combination of primary and secondary sources, we will examine the historical, cultural, and aesthetic challenges that twentieth-century composers faced and the strategies they adopted to address them. No prior training in music is necessary. [AH, W]

This course will study the music of fin-de-siècle Vienna in relation to its broader social, political, and cultural context. It is also a writing-intensive course that fulfills in part the writing requirement for graduation. It will be conducted as an informal seminar.

EXISTENTIALISM The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre claimed that all existentialist philosophers, whether atheistic or theistic, share the belief that “Existence precedes essence.” By this unifying principle, Sartre meant that we must begin philosophizing by acknowledging the fact of the enigma of existence. In Sartre’s view, the history of philosophy has shown us that philosophical systems attempting to provide the meaning of existence necessarily fail. What philosophy, then will stand in place of failed essentialist philosophy? If life has no discoverable meaning, how should we live? In this course, we will examine primary texts of four existentialist philosophers, who wrestle with these and other questions. [AH]

PHIL 29916 - Science, Knowledge, and Power Course Credit: 1
SCIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND POWER Science is often hailed as a purely objective, reliable and bias-free source of knowledge, but the history of science reveal that this characterization fails to capture the complexities of science and scientific practice.

Decisions we make about technology have ethical implications that must be considered as we make public policies, funding decisions, and social changes. In this course, we’ll ask: Are technologies morally neutral? What ought to be the ethical values that underpin the technologies we develop and use? How might thinking more clearly about ethics improve how we use or develop technology? Topics will include: The recent history of technology; cyberethics and cybercrime; privacy and security in cyberspace; property disputes and speech regulation in cyberspace; the “Digital Divide” and the use of technology to discriminate or oppress; virtual reality and artificial intelligence; and nanotechnology.
