It is also as good a title for the human experience as any. Being human is weird, eerie, grotesque, beautiful and sublime. The stories we tell, the images we create, and the way we remember the past sometimes mystify before they crystalize. This semester we\u2019ll look to find links between stories about mythical heroes, golems, ice mummies, and monsters. One strand we will follow through this course is how difficult it sometimes is to tell the heroes from the villains and the truth from fiction. The plan is to meet epic figures like Gilgamesh and Cuchulainn, think about documentary film and audio, read some comics and maybe an animated film!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"divider\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/rcnjrd\/images\/icons\/ramapo-arch-icom_rule.png\" alt=\"Ramapo\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"s13\"><\/a>Section 13: Professor Yvette Kisor<\/h3>\n<h4>Tuesday\/Friday, 11:50 &#8211; 1:30<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;The Epic Quest&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>This iteration of the course will focus on the epic quest, exploring how the concept of the heroic quest has grown and changed over time and across different cultures. As we read the major works introduced here, we will be examining a variety of critical and interpretive issues, including the meaning of the epic as a generic category, the changing role of the hero and the definition of the epic quest, the role and meaning of monsters and other figures featured in the epic quest, how understandings of gender interact with the epic quest, and the relevance and meaning of translation and reinterpretation. We will consider these and other questions through class discussion and close reading, supplemented by occasional lectures to provide cultural and literary contexts. Our examination will span over 2500 years, moving through ancient Greece, medieval England and Italy, and nineteenth-century America, concluding with a modern quest narrative that will allow us to explore the evolution of the concept of the hero quest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/rcnjrd\/images\/icons\/ramapo-arch-icom_rule.png\" alt=\"Ramapo\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"s14\"><\/a>Section 14: Professor John Peffer<\/h3>\n<h4>Friday, 9:55-1:25<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;Talk to the Animals&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0At this time of environmental crisis and rapid loss of global biodiversity, it is important to think of our interdependence with the natural world.

We examine philosophy, literature, art, film, music, and popular culture made about, or with, or by animals, from a global historical perspective. The format is a seminar with an open group discussion each week focusing on examples viewed in class and readings assigned in advance. With these preliminary readings as a foundation, students then do a series of mini research projects related to their own personal interests to share with the group during the second part of the semester.\u00a0\u00a0A partial list of possible sub-topics for our weekly discussions includes: Monkeys, elephants, and cats that paint. Music and birdsong. Companion species and animal husbandry. Traditional animal divination in Africa. The philosophy and ethics of the animal and the human. Animals as metaphors. Animal\/human creative interaction and interspecies communication. Bio art. Cyborgs, science fiction, and &#8220;wet&#8221; computing.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/rcnjrd\/images\/icons\/ramapo-arch-icom_rule.png\" alt=\"Ramapo\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"s15\"><\/a>Section 15: Professor TBA<\/h3>\n<h4>Tuesday, 6:05-9:35<\/h4>\n<h4>Title TBA<\/h4>\n<p>Description TBA<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/rcnjrd\/images\/icons\/ramapo-arch-icom_rule.png\" alt=\"Ramapo\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"s16\"><\/a>Section 16: Professor John Gronbeck-Tedesco<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday, 9:00-12:30<\/h4>\n<h4>Title TBA<\/h4>\n<p>Description TBA<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/rcnjrd\/images\/icons\/ramapo-arch-icom_rule.png\" alt=\"Ramapo\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"s17\"><\/a>Section 17: Professor Maria Molinari<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday, 6:05-9:35<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;The Fractured Self&#8221;<\/h4>\n<div>Literature, art, music, dance, and every form of artistic expression often addresses the very real human question of how we, as human beings, think, feel, and experience life from multiple perspectives.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Sometimes these experiences may feel strange or confusing.
