HIS 2244 - American Dreams in China Credits: 4
The so-called “American Dream” has never been confined within the shores of America itself. Indeed, people in other lands have long had their own visions of America, its promises, and its opportunities. This course specifically examines how people in China have envisioned America and the multiple meanings of America. What was the “American Dream” in China? How and why and how did American dreams thrive in China in the past century? What does it teach about US-Chinese relations? Using the concept of the American Dream as a starting point, students will explore the complex relationship between China and the United States in the last two centuries (1789-2017). By tracing the exchanges of ideas, objects, and beliefs in China and America, we will explore economic, social, and political
interaction between two countries from a historical perspective and approach.

HIS 3332 - China’s Troubled Waters Credits: 4.00
Two conflicting images dominate our views of China. One is of a people engaged in harmonious relationships with nature.

We will examine how such water-control projects affected Chinese local societies from the Song dynasty through today. We will explore which regions, which groups (ethnic, gender, class), and which hydraulic projects have been the winners and losers in different eras. From there, we will further examine continuity and ruptures in state policies, political ideology, and institutional politics behind hydraulic projects in their historical contexts. Finally, we will examine crucial turning points in the history of water control in China and see how past historical visions live on in the present.

IDS 1157 - Hunting for Dracula Credits: 2
In this course, students retrace the steps of Dracula and the people he hunts (and is hunted by) in two vampire novels: Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula (1897) and Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian (2005), a provocative re-imagining of the Dracula legend set in the 20th century. Stoker’s novel follows a group of British people as they encounter Dracula in Romania and their native England. Kostova’s The Historian follows three generations of scholars as they search for Dracula’s secret tomb and library in Eastern Europe. Both authors base the character of Dracula on Vlad Dracula/Tepes, the infamous 15th-century Romanian warlord. On this tour, we will visit three locations prominent in these novels and the historical Dracula’s life: Romania, England, and Istanbul, Turkey. Like the two novels we will study, the course will be as much about history-especially the history of imperialistic conquest and cross-cultural tensions-as it is about vampires. We will examine the medieval clash between Islam and Christianity in Southeastern Europe, in which Vlad Tepes played a central role, and the impact of which is still felt in the modern world. We will also consider how scholars interpret and evaluate historical records generated by authors on different sides of cross-cultural conflicts. Finally, we will examine the role that literature plays in representing and even shaping history, as well as our experiences as travelers. Is it possible to find the “real” Dracula, the “real” Transylvania, or even the “real” Victorian London, once they are fictionalized in a powerful novel?

IDS 1161 - Crime and Detectives: Three Perspectives Credits: 4
This team-taught interdisciplinary course explores both crime and its detection from literary, criminological, and scientific perspective. The literary portion of the course traces the development of the detective as hero, the antagonist as criminal, and the ways in which narrative patterns and societal attitudes have evolved in the Anglo-American detective story since the 1840s. The criminological section of the course focuses on the realities underlying fictional portrayals of crime solving, which vary markedly depending upon the identity of the victim and perpetratory, the setting, and the time period. The forensic section of the course explores the scientific aspect of crime solving. Topics include characterization of a crime scene, analysis of hair and fibers, arson and explosives, forensic serology, DNA testing, fingerprint, firearms, and document and voice analysis.

IDS 2009 - Fears and Fascinations in Nineteenth-Century Europe Credits: 4
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…” Charles Dickens’ rueful appreciation expresses the superlative contradictions and rapid societal changes in the wake of industrialization, urbanization and colonialism in 19th century Europe. Vast accumulations of wealth, grand developments of the metropolis and the allure of exotic travel and luxury items could be found next to horrific living conditions in sooty cities filled with crime, prostitution, addiction and epidemics. How did people experience these vibrant varieties and deep discrepancies? What literary works and philosophical theories marked and expressed these experiences? How did they view and construct their own identities and that of the Other in this turbulent century?
Following these questions, this course is designed from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives and knowledge contents leading into the intellectual and artistic circles in Europe and “the Orient.” Topics discussed will include the conceptualizations of progress, Darwinism, Nihilism, Impressionism, Orientalism and their impact on identity formations. Authors studied will include Darwin, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Zola, Marx, Dickens et. al.

IDS 2014 - History and Memory Credits: 4
In recent years the concept of memory has emerged as an important topic of historical scholarship. How people as a nation (collective memory) or individuals remember their past, even when that memory is not flawless, can be telling both in terms of individual identity, national consciousness, and the writing of history. This is particularly crucial with regard to the memory and commemoration of war and other forms of conflict, and this course will include works on the two world wars and the Holocaust. The course will begin with an overview of the recent “memory boom” in historical studies, as well as review different approaches to memory taken by scholars from a range of disciplines including psychology and sociology. We will then examine specific examples of “memory” scholarship: historical sites (monuments, commemorations, etc.), social spaces, and the various languages in which memory is expressed in memoirs, oral history, and film.

IDS 2018 - HBO’s “The Wire”: Through a Cinematic and Social Lens Credits: 4
Too often the stories we watch on television or in the movie theater are disconnected from the actual, real-life implications and consequences of the worlds they portray. Full of genre conventions, stereotypes, and easy narrative solutions – and packed with commercial messages and wrapped up in under an hour or two – these cinematic documents evaporate quickly from the minds of the audience as it moves on to consume other formulaic media McNuggets. But HBO’S series “The Wire” (June 2002-March 2008) warrants closer scrutiny. Its complex, genre-bending film narrative and oft-brooding aesthetic lingers long after the screen has grown dark and invites us to examine the relationship between story and reality. In this course, we closely analyze how this landmark television series is constructed (both in form and narrative) as well as what it has to say about enduring social structures (policing, the legal system, commerce, city politics, education, and the media) and social problems (substance abuse, human trafficking, urban poverty, political corruption, educational disparities).

IDS 2022 - Coffee, Tea and Chocolate: Oppression and Liberation in the African Diaspora Credits: 4
“Coffee, Tea and Chocolate: Oppression and Liberation in the African Diaspora” describes the central roles of these commodities in the development of the global economy, which have often fed human impulses for pleasure and greed resulting in the oppression of peoples in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and North America. This course will entail an interdisciplinary examination of the political, historical and social forces shaping the relationships between colonizers and the colonized, industry and consumers, managers and workers, and governments and citizens. Students will define the concepts of African diaspora and pan-Africanism using the basic tools of political science with contributions from literature, philosophy, sociology, psychology and history.

IDS 2034 - How Am I Not Myself? Credits: 4
What do we mean when we say “I’m not feeling like myself today” or “I need to get in touch with the real me”? Do our identities stay the same throughout our lives or do they change from moment to moment? Do we create our own identities or inherit them? What gives our lives meaning? Does meaning exist at all? This course will investigate sources of personal identity, the ways in which we experience our freedom, and the
value of self-transformation. We will delve into these questions through a study of the Existentialist movement in 19th and 20th century European philosophy, literature, theater, and psychology. While students will become familiar with various theories about freedom and individuality, it is hoped that the course will open up a space in which students can develop the ability to think critically about their own lived experience in light of the readings.

IDS 2039 - Paths of Innovation Credits: 4
This course examines how artistic and scientific innovation emerged in different forms in Central Europe at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and spread to become prominent trends all over Europe and the Americas, with ideas that were to be underlying themes of the 20th century. The course gives particular attention to three great innovators who lived in three major cities of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy: Franz Kafka in Prague, Sigmund Freud in Vienna, and Béla Bartók in Budapest. It considers not only the oeuvre of these intellectual giants, but also how they affected contemporary society and art, including literature, music, and the visual arts. It examines their lasting influence in art, society, and popular thinking, including the ‘Kafkaesque’ in literature and film; Freudian theories in psychology and art; and Bartók’s influence on
later composers and ethnomusicologists. In its final weeks, the course turns to contemporary innovators in and beyond Budapest.

This course will provide students with an interdisciplinary understanding of concepts related to death and dying, focusing primarily on social, philosophical, psychological, cultural and ethical issues. Concepts pertaining to death and dying will also be analyzed through different historical time periods.

IDS 2230 - Greek Tragedy Credits: 4
The dramatic form we know as ‘Greek Tragedy’ was created in a unique historical and cultural context. In classical Athens in the fifth century BCE, tragic playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides presented powerful spectacles of human suffering centered upon the heroes and heroines of myth and legend: Agamemnon and Oedipus, Orestes and Electra, Medea and Antigone. These plays have also had an enormous influence throughout history, not only on drama but also on literature and the arts, on the history of ideas, and on our very notion of ‘the tragic.’ This course will study both Greek tragedy and its modern legacy, with attention to the plays in their original setting as well as the ways in which artists, writers and thinkers have used them as a resource in the modern and post-modern era-for art, theatre and fiction; philosophy and psychology; political thought and feminist theory. And we will consider whether the idea of tragedy has any value in a post-modern world.

IDS 2236 - From Garden to Table Credits: 4
Central Europe’s unique food and beverage offerings are experiencing renewed interest as both increasingly discerning locals and rising numbers of visitors seek out one-of-a-kind products and experiences. They have risen partly in reaction to globalization, which not only failed to extinguish the flames of local produce but also made it stronger. On first glance it may appear that global chains and brands have come to
dominate the Central European landscape, but on closer inspection local heroes are continuing to appear and thrive. We will examine the global-local dichotomy currently going in the region. A special focus on this course on discovery will be placed on ‘Hungaricums’ - products that are uniquely Hungarian, some of which are establishing a presence on foreign markets and emerging as ‘glocal heroes’ Accordingly, various agricultural and gastronomic businesses from the raw material acquisition phase through production to the subsequent sales and marketing strategies will be examined. This will also extend to the challenge of how to
balance the needs of domestic customers while also seeking presence on prestigious and lucrative foreign markets.
Offered at Budapest campus.

Themes of justice and fairness, individual rights and claims of community, equality and inequality as well as morality and law will be studied
through theories articulated by John Locke, Robert Nozick, John Rawls and Richard Posner and applied to debates and policies in current US culture.
