COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Psychology has been long preoccupied with human limitations and mental disorders. Positive psychology, by contrast, is the scientific study of how individuals thrive, and communities flourish. This seminar focuses on understanding, predicting, and improving subjective well-being. Students will participate in brief confidential assessments and research-supported experiential activities designed to enhance their strengths, virtues, and happiness. In other words, you will learn a lot of positive psychology and apply it to yourself and your community.

CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien: Christian Mythology in Literature and Film

DATES: Thursdays, September 5, 12, 19, 26, October 3 & 10
TIME:  6:00 to 7:15 p.m.
LOCATION: Weinberg Memorial Library, Room 305

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The two most famous English language writers to use mythology settings to convey Christian theology in the twentieth century were Oxford professors Clive Staples Lewis and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, in their works The Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, respectively. All three works have had an enormous impact on both fantasy literature and on popular culture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This course will examine the different faith journeys of both men, the most important examples of Christian theology in their novels, and finally, how the recent cinematic adaptations of their works have maintained, and at other times, discarded the Christian teachings of Lewis and Tolkien.

From Caligari to Hitler: Cinema and Politics during the Weimar Republic 1918-1933

DATES: Wednesdays, October 16, 23, 30, November 6, 13, & 20
TIME:  6:00 to 7:15 p.m.
LOCATION: Weinberg Memorial Library, Room 305

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will use Siegfried Kracauer's classic study, From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film (1947), to explore the culture and politics of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933). Alongside a close reading of the text, we will watch and discuss classic Weimar films including, but not limited to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Nosferatu, Metropolis, The Blue Angel, M, and so on. We will explore Kracauer's thesis that although itself apolitical, Weimar cinema offers a lens for understanding the unconscious desires and fears of this chaotic period from which the new political reality of fascism could emerge.

Andrew LaZella, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Philosophy, The 日本一级片
