1 UGC 111V World Civilization I Professor DesForges 20 Knox M W 2:00-2:50 Reg. # (recitation section) This course traces the development of human thought and action from earliest recorded times to about 1500 of the Common Era. It suggests that we may usefully divide this long stretch of time into three periods characterized by shifts in the “center” of activity from one “world region” to another. During the first period covering hundreds of thousands of years in East Africa, we developed as the human species, complete with the “fine arts” of language, art, music, and dance, and we spread from there in two major migrations to almost all of the rest of the globe. During the second period after ca 10,000 BCE, we constructed what we sometimes call “higher—or power-oriented— civilization,” including agriculture, metallurgy, writing, monotheism, and empire, in the world region of Mesopotamia (“between the rivers”) and the Mediterranean (“in the middle of the earth”). During the third period from about the third century BCE to 1500 CE, we produced new technologies, including non-sectarian religions, paper, the zero, coal and iron, the compass, printing, and fire-powder, which enabled us to experiment with various forms of supra-imperial polity (or “world order”) in South, Central, East and Southeast Asia. Although each of these world regions was distinctive in some ways, they all made equally significant contributions to world history. (Together they provided foundations for the subsequent world centers of Western Europe after 1500 and North America after 1900, not covered in this course). The common text will be Fernandez-Armesto’s The World, vol. 1; in addition, students will read and write short response papers on one epic (Gilgamesh, Zuozhuan, or Son-jara), one philosophical or religious treatise (Republic, Quran, or Analects), and one piece of literature (Ramayana, Three Kingdoms , or Western Chamber Romance). Grades will be based one-fifth on participation in recitations, three fifths on the three papers, and one-fifth on the final examination.

Features global perspectives, focuses on the origins and development, geographical context, and the interactions of world cultures.

Whenever possible we will look at ways that states and regimes use public art and architecture to help define their identities, and we will look as well at ways in which writers and artists react to political issues. We will also look at the ways in which individuals and states interpret and recreate earlier histories and identities in their efforts to define themselves.2 Recitation sections: (registration in a recitation section gives automatic registration in the lecture) G1 T 10:00-10:50 Reg. #219274 (106 Clemons) G8 W 1:00- 1:50 Reg. #140292 (123 Clemens) G2 T 11:00-11:50 Reg. #130585 (117 Baldy) G9 W 11:00- 11:50 Reg. #355677 (117 Baldy) G3 F 10:00-10:50 Reg. #278877 (215 Clemens) G10 F 1:00- 1:50 Reg. #041418 (6 Clemens) G4 M 10:00-10:50 Reg. #094295 (440 Park) G11 T 1:00- 1:50 Reg. #477436 (214 Baldy) G5 R 11:00-11:50 Reg. #064460 (337 Bell) G12 R 9:00- 9:50 Reg. #199360 (105 Baldy) G6 R 12:00-12:50 Reg. #017689 (113 Baldy) G13 F 11:00- 11:50 Reg. #050646 (107 Clemens) G7 M 12:00-12:50 Reg. #427038 (213 O’Brian) HIS 113 Myth and Religion in the Ancient World Professor Woodard 20 Knox M W F 1:00-1:50 Reg. #230633 Myth and Religion in the Ancient World provides a comparative analysis of the mythic and religious traditions of various early Indo-European peoples, in coverage extending chronologically and geographically from Vedic India to Medieval Ireland and Scandinavia, focusing on ancient Greece and, especially Rome. The analytic model used is that of, chiefly, Émile Benveniste and Georges Dumézil.

History 162 fills two General Education requirements, the one-semester American history and Cultural Pluralism course requirements. We will therefore pay special attention to issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and religion as they enter into major political, economic, and social developments of U.S. history. To try to balance specificity and breadth, the course is organized around one major theme: */reform and reaction/*. This theme helps
