RELI

RELI 3003 PRAG

Introduction to the Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism
The course, Introduction to the Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism, aims at introducing students to one of the main aspects of Jewish religion. The beginnings of the Kabbalah can be traced to the early Christian era, and the main centers of the Kabbalah during the Middle Ages were in Germany and Spain. The student is not required to have any previous knowledge of the Kabbalah; knowledge of Hebrew is very helpful, but is not mandatory for the course. Whereas the three monotheistic religions often fought or even oppressed one another, the mystics of all three religions have always found a common language. The fact that the course will take place in Prague is of great significance, because of the Kabbalistic tradition, especially Rabbi Judah Loew Betzalel and Ezechiel Landau. The course objective is to show the student the profundity and beauty of Jewish Mysticism. Instructor: Josef Blaha

PSYC 3006 PRAG

The Third Force Psychology in a Central European Context
Environmental and biological naturalism have been the most prominent philosophy of science in the last hundred years. According to naturalism, human behavior and experience should be studied just like any other phenomena in the nature (e.g. living cell, chemical molecules or physical forces). Contrary to this belief, humanistic and existential psychologists insist that the study of human beings needs to be approached in a different way. The fact that human beings are largely aware of themselves and of their living situations make them a unique subject of study. In this course we will look at the necessary philosophical and psychological concepts and theories, such as limit situations, but we will connect them with real stories of people who lived in the Central European context in last 60 years. It will be our effort to understand the psychology of dissent and opposition towards totalitarian forces within society and individuals. Instructor: Milan Polák

RELI 3002 PRAG

History of the Jews in Bohemia and Central Europe

Subversive Subjections
The course explores notions of individual and colletive identity, subjectivity and the self in the context of modern Czech literature. Following (and possibly contradicting) various aspects of the argument of ‘minor literature’ (Deleuze – Guattari), students will discuss the writing of Kafka, Hašek, Škvorecký, Kundera or Hrabal as conflictual sites of identity and difference, solidifying discoursive structures and invisible lines of flight and subversion, transcendence and immanence.

Circulating within the Modern Cinematic Image
This inter-disciplinary seminar is modeled on the epistemological notion of a U.S.-American informed postmodernity/globalization, which for ill or for better informs the conditions of possibility of our contemporaneity, and which by extension for us as such produces our individual-class-misson that pedagogically focuses a select band of becoming authenticallyglobal films from the following 20th century world directors: Sergei Eisenstein, Carl Theodor Dreyer, D.W. Griffith, Buster Keaton, Fritz Lang, Friedrich Murnau, Dziga Vertov, and Orson Welles with special consideration given to those cinematic moments that teach and that train us in new non-dominatory viewing strategies, in new creative ways of circulating (our term for moving). The role of silence and of the unconscious in film culture is given special coverage. Clips and special features from the DVDs are also shown. Recommended credit: 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours. Instructor: Erik Sherman Roraback

Circulating within the Post-Modern Cinematic Image
This seminar is a select examination of eight major films in pre-1950 Euro-American film with special emphasis given to those cinematic moments that might teach and train us in new viewing strategies, in new ways of circulating, and in new ways of engaging with the cinematic image. Film criticism and film philosophy from Bersani-Dutoit and Gilles Deleuze is discussed. All films are either in English or have English inter-titles or sub-titles.

Introduction to The Soundtrack 1
The first part of the course focuses on the fundamentals of using sound to furnish meaning, whether for narrative, documentary, or abstract works. We follow the thread of production through the various elements that comprise a soundtrack, based on our real time limitations and available tools. Basic precepts, tips, and tricks: from conception to sound capture to edit to mix to output via the building blocks of the soundtrack including dialogue, narration, music, foley, ambient sound, and most importantly sound effect/sound design. Readings, bibliography, URLs, DVD examples, hardware, and software are provided. We work in the Final Cut and Soundtrack programs. Recommended credit: 1.5 semester/2.25 quarter hours. Instructor: Eric Rosenzveig

Introduction to The Soundtrack 2
The second part of the course on the soundtrack focuses on viewing/listening to primarily narrative feature films and analyzing their various approaches to making the soundspace. We also read theoretical texts on the soundtrack and film music and see how today's technology has made much of older existing theory somewhat redundant. In many classes we watch a single film, stopping and starting it and using it as a basis for both technical and aesthetic discussions: “How did they do this and why?” Recommended credit: 1.5 semester/ 2.25 quarter hours. Instructor: Eric Rosenzveig

The key areas of information for a producer (and this class) are marketing, financing, budgeting, legal, and business affairs in the stages of project development, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution. Instructor: Petr Sládeček

The Realm of Montage (Editing)
“Film is like a battlefield: love, hate, action, violence, death... in one word—emotion,” says Samuel Fuller playing himself in Godard’s Pierrot le fou. Montage sequences create emotions in film, and they show not only the work of the editor but also the specific film language, thinking, and philosophy of the director. We study excerpts from well known films that express interestingly extreme and emotional life situations. Recommended credit: 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours. Instructor: Bára Kopecká
