(12) Dystopias and Utopias in Art, Literature, and Visual Culture (ASAP)

Profs. C. Pierre, J. Holley, and M. Williams

This learning community links ENG 12 (5P, 15976) with ART 34 (3P, 16595) and SD10 (9P, 18085), and will examine several texts (print as well as visual and cinematographic) which consider the nature of dystopian societies, the utopian ideals that typically give birth to them, and the factors that inevitably lead to their erosion. In English 12, the primary text will be Animal Farm (1945) by George Orwell. In English 12, students will additionally view the Kurt Wimmer film Equilibrium as well as examples selected from episodic television including the Star Trek series: The Next Generation, The Original Series, Voyager, Enterprise, and Charmed. In Art 34, students will study and analyze images of idealized utopias imagined by artists, such as Lorenzetti’s Effects of Good Government in the City and the Country (1338-1339); Shen Zhou’s Poet on a Mountain Top (Ming Dynasty, c. 1500); Raphael’s The School of Athens (1510—11); Poussin’s Et In Arcadia Ego (1637-38); and Watteau’s Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera (1717).

Can a society survive without change?

Is there a best way to negotiate societal patterns and shifts and still construct an identity? What makes you who you are? What makes the identity of a society different or similar to your identity? In what ways do class, ethnicity, race, gender, immigration, education, e.t.c., impact your identity in terms of change? How does your environment influence your identity, and what role does education play in your establishment of an identity? Hopefully at the end of these courses, you will be able to determine the role of identity in your life, and how aspects of society works together to shape and mold you as a person.

(10) Degenerates, Thieves, and Forgers!

Profs. A. Dillon & L. Dembner

Intrigue surrounds us everywhere, from television shows like Scandal, Elementary, and NCIS to spy-based novels and films like James Bond to the real-life conspiracies we hear from news sources. When something as priceless as art is involved, the intrigue deepens even further – as centuries of art theft and fraud have shown us. Often, by studying the intrigue, competitiveness, and covetousness that collectors and would-be collectors have for and over art, we can learn much about the failings of humans. For example, by studying art degenerates, thieves, and forgers in the 1930s, we get a glimpse into the murderous mind of one particular fascist dictator who changed the course of human history and whose crimes continue–even today–to haunt and injure the heirs of the victims whose artwork was stolen and never returned. As you learn about art through the ages in ART 31 (4P, 16582) will focus on art in the 1930s and SD 10 (14P, 18089) will….. A variety of readings and assignments will be shared between your classes.

In SD 10, you will learn study skills and ways to research that will help support your learning in Earth Science, and your life in college. A student Peer Mentor will help you form a connection to the college, and help support your work by organizing Science Study Sessions. Students will participate in a rocket launch in SD 10, using scale models of an actual NASA sounding rocket, which will connect what you will learn about the atmosphere in Science to a goal setting exercise where you will literally watch your dreams take flight.

Professors S. Parker, T. Ulmer, & S. Richards

The theme of this ENG 12 (42P, 15970), SOC 31 (38P, 18279), SD 10 (5P, 18081) link is “Journeys of Hope, Journeys of Discovery.” As incoming college students the participants in this Opening Doors Learning Community have already embarked on a personal journey whose destination is very much unknown. We will build on this common experience through a set of readings, writing and learning exercises which will explore a range of challenges that others such as Malcolm X and those Southern Blacks in the Great Migration experienced and overcame. Through this exploration our students will develop a set of conceptual skills that will enable them to more deeply probe the dynamics of the social world and a set of writing and communication skills that will prepare them for further college-level work. They will also leave with a sense that there are deeper lessons about choices that can be drawn from the experiences of those who came before.
