<description><![CDATA[Politics, Media, Popular Culture In this course, we will examine U.S. politics and popular culture in the period 1941-2015. We will analyze political films ranging from the World War II propaganda series, Why We Fight, to more recent feature films such as Wag the Dog and Good Night and Good Luck. We will consider television’s impact on civic culture, focusing on entertainment programs (I Led 3 Lives, 24, Scandal), the news (See It Now, The O’Reilly Factor), campaign commercials, and political satire (The Daily Show, The Colbert Report). Finally, we will assess how online organizing and the blogosphere impact civic participation. 3 hrs. lect.]]></description> <catalog:title>Politics, Media, Pop.

We will explore how the growth of national transportation systems, the development of advertising, and the rise of a middle class with money and time to spend on leisure shaped the evolution of tourism. Along the way, we will study various types of tourism (such as historical, cultural, ethnic, eco-, and 'disaster' tourism) and look at the creative processes by which places are transformed into 'destinations'. Our texts will come from visual art, travel literature, material culture, and film and television. We will consider their cultural meaning and reflect on our own motivations and responses as tourists, and by so doing contemplate why tourism was-and still is-such an important part of American life. 3 hrs. lect.]]></description> <catalog:title>Tourism in American Culture</catalog:title> <catalog:id>section/201590/92286</catalog:id> <catalog:genustype id="genera:offering/LCT" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F92286">Lecture</catalog:genustype> <catalog:term id="term/201590" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/terms/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590" start_date="2015-09-16" end_date="2015-12-20" weeks="14">Fall 2015</catalog:term> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/subject" id="topic/subject/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fsubject%2FAMST">American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/department" id="topic/department/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fdepartment%2FAMST">Program in American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/CW" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FCW">CW</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/HIS" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FHIS">HIS</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/NOR" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FNOR">NOR</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/level" id="topic/level/UG" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Flevel%2FUG">Undergraduate</catalog:topic> <catalog:instructor id="resource/person/dba7682e041fdf869e2bbe507852b0cd" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fperson%2Fdba7682e041fdf869e2bbe507852b0cd">Deborah Evans</catalog:instructor> <catalog:location id="resource/place/room/LIB/230" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fplace%2Froom%2FLIB%2F230">Library 230</catalog:location> <catalog:schedule>1:30pm-2:45pm on Tuesday, Thursday (Sep 16, 2015 to Dec 11, 2015)</catalog:schedule> <catalog:property> <catalog:display_name>Course Reference Number</catalog:display_name> <catalog:display_label>CRN</catalog:display_label> <catalog:description><![CDATA[An number that uniquely identifies a section within a term.]]></catalog:description> <catalog:value><![CDATA[92286]]></catalog:value> </catalog:property> </item> <item> <title>AMST0241A-F15</title> <link>http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F92075</link> <description><![CDATA[Sexuality in the United States: Histories and Identities What does sexuality mean? In the United States the meanings of sexuality are highly contested, historically and in the present.

Drawing from feminist scholarship, queer theory, and lesbian, gay, and transgender studies, we will discuss sexual identities, representations of sexuality, and sexual cultures, and examine how intersecting categories such as race, class, disability, and gender influence how sexuality is understood. 3 hrs. lect.]]></description> <catalog:title>Sexuality in the U.S. Please register via GSFS 0241A</catalog:title> <catalog:id>section/201590/92075</catalog:id> <catalog:alternate href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F92074">GSFS0241A-F15</catalog:alternate> <catalog:genustype id="genera:offering/LCT" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F92074">Lecture</catalog:genustype> <catalog:term id="term/201590" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/terms/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590" start_date="2015-09-16" end_date="2015-12-20" weeks="14">Fall 2015</catalog:term> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/subject" id="topic/subject/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fsubject%2FAMST">American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/department" id="topic/department/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fdepartment%2FAMST">Program in American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/CMP" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FCMP">CMP</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/HIS" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FHIS">HIS</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/NOR" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FNOR">NOR</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/SOC" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FSOC">SOC</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/level" id="topic/level/UG" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Flevel%2FUG">Undergraduate</catalog:topic> <catalog:instructor id="resource/person/cf0b1a5814539b032ab5c3da9f8dedee" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fperson%2Fcf0b1a5814539b032ab5c3da9f8dedee">Anson Koch-Rein</catalog:instructor> <catalog:location id="resource/place/room/LIB/201" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fplace%2Froom%2FLIB%2F201">Library 201</catalog:location> <catalog:schedule>3:00pm-4:15pm on Tuesday, Thursday (Sep 16, 2015 to Dec 11, 2015)</catalog:schedule> <catalog:property> <catalog:display_name>Course Reference Number</catalog:display_name> <catalog:display_label>CRN</catalog:display_label> <catalog:description><![CDATA[An number that uniquely identifies a section within a term.]]></catalog:description> <catalog:value><![CDATA[92075]]></catalog:value> </catalog:property> </item> <item> <title>AMST0245A-F15</title> <link>http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F91707</link> <description><![CDATA[American Landscape: 1825-1865 This course will explore American landscape painting through an interdisciplinary approach, employing art, literature, religion, and history.

In this course, we will survey 200 years of history, using the tools of science and the humanities to understand how people have changed the landscape and how the landscape has shaped its human inhabitants. We will read historical, literary, and scientific works—and employ a variety of archival and aesthetic materials—to explore moments of transformation within four geographic regions: New England, the Midwest, the West, and the South. In so doing, we will arrive at an understanding of the interdependency of cultural and ecological history and the intersections between scientific and humanistic modes of inquiry. Readings will emphasize primary texts, and will include writings by Harriett Beecher Stowe, George Perkins Marsh, and photography by Dorothea Lange and others.]]></description> <catalog:title>Across the Great Divide</catalog:title> <catalog:id>section/201590/91888</catalog:id> <catalog:genustype id="genera:offering/LCT" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F91888">Lecture</catalog:genustype> <catalog:term id="term/201590" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/terms/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590" start_date="2015-09-16" end_date="2015-12-20" weeks="14">Fall 2015</catalog:term> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/subject" id="topic/subject/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fsubject%2FAMST">American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/department" id="topic/department/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fdepartment%2FAMST">Program in American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/HIS" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FHIS">HIS</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/NOR" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FNOR">NOR</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/level" id="topic/level/UG" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Flevel%2FUG">Undergraduate</catalog:topic> <catalog:instructor id="resource/person/a461c50d702704221395fa0196674085" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fperson%2Fa461c50d702704221395fa0196674085">Andrea Lloyd</catalog:instructor> <catalog:instructor id="resource/person/88d1680887ae0661d5a798f901003b2f" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fperson%2F88d1680887ae0661d5a798f901003b2f">Timothy Spears</catalog:instructor> <catalog:location id="resource/place/room/AXN/103" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/resources/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/resource/resource%2Fplace%2Froom%2FAXN%2F103">Axinn Center 103</catalog:location> <catalog:schedule>11:00am-12:15pm on Tuesday, Thursday (Sep 16, 2015 to Dec 11, 2015)</catalog:schedule> <catalog:property> <catalog:display_name>Course Reference Number</catalog:display_name> <catalog:display_label>CRN</catalog:display_label> <catalog:description><![CDATA[An number that uniquely identifies a section within a term.]]></catalog:description> <catalog:value><![CDATA[91888]]></catalog:value> </catalog:property> </item> <item> <title>AMST0307A-F15</title> <link>http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F92351</link> <description><![CDATA[Issues in Critical Disability Studies: U.S. and the World Disability as a category and as lived experience plays an important but often overlooked role in national, transnational, and global contexts. In this course we will explore disability’s changing meanings in the United States and around the World. Comparative and transnational approaches will draw our attention to disability’s many meanings across wide-ranging historical, cultural, and geographical settings. Foundational concepts and principles, including ableism and Universal Design, shape our critical inquiry. Key themes frame the course: access, language, power, violence, normalcy, identity, community, institutions, and rights and justice. We will engage with diverse primary sources, from memoirs and documentary films to advertisements, material objects, and oral histories.]]></description> <catalog:title>Disability Issues/U.S. & World</catalog:title> <catalog:id>section/201590/92351</catalog:id> <catalog:genustype id="genera:offering/LCT" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/offering/section%2F201590%2F92351">Lecture</catalog:genustype> <catalog:term id="term/201590" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/terms/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590" start_date="2015-09-16" end_date="2015-12-20" weeks="14">Fall 2015</catalog:term> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/subject" id="topic/subject/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fsubject%2FAMST">American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/department" id="topic/department/AMST" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Fdepartment%2FAMST">Program in American Studies</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/CMP" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FCMP">CMP</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/HIS" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FHIS">HIS</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/requirement" id="topic/requirement/NOR" href="http://catalog.middlebury.edu/topics/view/catalog/catalog%2FMCUG/term/term%2F201590/topic/topic%2Frequirement%2FNOR">NOR</catalog:topic> <catalog:topic type="genera:topic/re
