While reading texts written by German romantics, such as Novalis or Friedrich Schlegel, one can easily get the impression, that these authors were anything else but 'romantic', at least in a common understanding of the word. For the romantics, particularly in poetry, the concept of Romanticism was not definite but programmatic. For them to think about poetry became part of their understanding of poetry. And just in this: becoming critical and ironical, poetry became romantic, which is, in other words: modern.

GMAN 355(F) SPECIAL TOPIC: YOUNG GOETHE: FROM LITERARY REVOLUTION TO WORLD LITERATURE (3-0-3)
In Germany in the 18th century, according to Walter Benjamin, revolutionaries were not enlightened and those who where enlightened were no revolutionaries. Goethe's beginnings can be understood in this context. Like nobody else he has overthrown established rules-yet not those of society but those of poetry. Thus in his poetry of this early period, only the expression but not the success of protest is celebrated. On the other hand, Werther, which is an excellent example to illustrate this observation, became Goethe's lifelong best-selling book, at the edge of classicism preparing the ground for the novel to become part of the canon of world literature. By reading selected biographical, theoretical, and poetical writings, the course will reconstruct the development of young Goethe, which finally culminated in the success of Werther. In order to illuminate the theoretical background readings include texts by Herder and Rousseau's first discourse. This course will be taught in English. Also offered as HUMA 376.

HIST 166(S) FRESHMAN SEMINAR: THE CLASSIC OF CHANGES IN ASIAN AND WORLD CULTURE
Over the past two millennia or so, the Yijing (I Ching: Classic of Changes) has been, with the notable exception of the Bible, the most widely read and extensively commented upon book in all of world literature. Having emerged in
China about three thousand years ago as an occult prognostication text, the Yijing eventually attained the status of "classic" in 136 B.C.E. The next several hundred years saw its influence gradually spread to other areas within the Chinese cultural orbit in East Asia-notably Japan, Korea, Annam (Vietnam) and Tibet. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Jesuit missionaries brought knowledge of the classic to the West; and today there are dozens of different translations of the Yijing in various European languages. How do we account for these developments-particularly the transcultural spread and enduring influence of the Yijing? In what respects can the Yijing be compared to other "classic" works as a document of truly "global" significance? Limited enrollment. Instructor: Smith.

Although Latin America is a collection of extraordinarily diverse cultures, ranging from modern urban societies to Indian peasant villages, many people assume the region shares a simple and easily identifiable set of gender relations.

HIST 364(F) THE HABSBURG MONARCHY, 1526-1918 (3-0-3)
This topical and chronological course examines the rise and fall of the Habsburg Monarchy. Several general themes will provide structure for weekly class discussions: the question of diversity of geography and peoples in the empire; the historical relationship between state and society in the Monarchy, focusing attention on "confessionalization" and "enlightened absolutism." In addition to historical problems specific to the Habsburgs, the course analyzes "empire" as a form of polity, contrasting it to the nationalist movements that dominated the 19th and 20th centuries. An examination of the religious, political, and socio-economic conflicts arising between the Monarchy's diverse populations will help us gain more insight into the centrifugal forces that challenged the very notion of an imperial state.
