| 3 hours If a language is a dialect with an army and a navy, then among the many dialects that make up a language, the standard variety has the largest military. This course is all about the phenomenon of standard languages. The standard variety is primarily written with the goal of providing linguistic uniformity in the face of social diversity. Standard languages are often thought of as prestigious, most beautiful, and may serve as a symbol of national identity while also being the official language of a country. We will analyze and discuss the birth and development of language standards, the development of individual standard languages, and we will see emerging historicaltheoretical patterns. Some standards were initiated by kings, othersby intellectuals of peasant origin. Of over 50 present standard languages in Europe, a number will be investigated, compared, and classified: English, German, Albanian, Estonian, Greek, Yiddish, Italian, French, Spanish, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian, Norwegian, Croatian, Serbian, Luxembourgish, Russian, etc. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| 3 hours Eastern Europe after Communism The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989 gave rise to global shifts that continue to shape our world today. Heralded as the end of history and The Year of Truth, 1989 generated an enormous international attention, widespread euphoria, and a belief in an inevitable triumph of liberal democracy. How did the events of 1989 and their aftermath affect people in the region? In what ways have the interpretations of 1989 changed over time? This class will explore the nature of 1989 revolutions, and the challenges of the transition from communism to liberal democracy as experienced by a variety of social and political actors in the region. Topics will include the dismantling of the command economy and the rapid transition to neoliberal capitalism; political democratization and the rise of nationalism; consumer culture and mobility across borders; the impact of the European Union; the politics of gender and sexuality; the global economic crises and migration; the rise of authoritarian populism and the war in Ukraine. Finally, we will examine the ways in which communism (and its collapse) has been remembered and utilized to serve a variety of new political agendas. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| Why, How, and For What Purpose To Read? A History of Interpretation in the West. An Interdisciplinary graduate seminar. Although we all read, not everybody reflects on how this act happens: what are the reasons for reading, what are thepersonal, social, cultural, politicalramifications of dealing with a text, and finally, who reads? Is it our inimitable individuality involved in reading, or is it our socially shared subjectivity that peruses books? Is it us who reads, or does something larger read through us? Is our reading idiomatic or institutionally driven? Instead of following contemporary theories of reading or applying those theories to individual texts, we will trace back the long and complex history of interpretation in the West from ancient Greece and Rome through the religious discord on the meaning of the Scriptures, including Jewish exegesis, and establishing hermeneutics as a particular branch of humanities to the most recent discussions about interpreting the American Constitution. As there is no comprehensive history of interpretation embracing the entire course of Western civilization, combining politics and theology with philology, we will sketch its chapters in the class devoted to understanding how people justified their readings through the ages, from the Greeks and the Jews, Augustine to Luther, Heidegger, and Supreme Court Justice Scalia. The class will be taught, and all materials will be provided in English, so all graduate students are welcome to participate in the interdisciplinary discussion on how we have been reading and why. | ||||||||
