Shakespeare on Stage
This course explores the clues to production embedded in Shakespeare's plays. The course explores questions of language, staging, setting, costumes and additional elements of physical productions found within the texts themselves. Through readings, papers, video excerpts, and in-class explorations of selected plays, students will arrive at a more thorough understanding of just how Shakespeare's plays function in the theatre. No previous acting or theatre participation necessary.

Thinking Media
From hieroglyphs to HTML, ancient poetry to audiotape, and Plato's cave to virtual reality, "Thinking Media" offers a multidisciplinary introduction to the most influential media formats of the last three millennia. Featuring an array of guests from across Cornell, including faculty from Communication, Comparative Literature, English, German Studies, Information Science, Music, and Performing & Media Arts, the course will present diverse perspectives on how to think with, against, and about media in relation to the public sphere and private life, archaeology and science fiction, ethics and aesthetics, identity and difference, labor and play, knowledge and power, expression and surveillance, and the generation and analysis of data.
