One hundred years ago the tomb of Tutankhamun was
uncovered in Luxor, Egypt. This discovery revolutionized
archaeology, catapulted Howard Carter onto the world
stage, and shed light on a minimally understood period
of ancient Egyptian history. We will explore these stories,
among others, through an analysis of some of the
“wonderful things” found in Tut’s tomb.

We will explore the history and literature of American
Transcendentalism (c. 1830-1860) in a selection of
readings by Amos Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman.
The movement’s origins in German idealism and
subsequent development in New England through the
activism of the Transcendental Club shall be considered.
The Club’s sponsorship of the literary journal The Dial
(1840–44) and experiment in communal living at Brook
Farm, Massachusetts, will also be examined. We will
recognize the counterculture of the movement in its
promotion of non-traditional sources of authority, such as
subjectivity, intuition, and nature. The movement’s critiques
of sexual inequality and slavery will also be discussed.

This course, with an initial look into key figures of the
1950s, will cover a sampling of movements during this
prosperous decade of the 1960s as well as contempor-
aneous European responses. In addition, a biographical
approach to the works of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy
Warhol will provide important insights into their works.
The 1960s is one of the most fascinating decades in art
history of the last century: some artists focus on news
events with photographs of key moments, some on purified
reductive forms in elegant metals, while others long for the
untouched lands of the West by the use of actual earth in
their vast projects.

Every museum collection has a story to tell. This course
offers a critical look at how benefactors have helped shape
the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Using the
CMA’s expansive holdings as a model, audiences will gain
an understanding of how art museum collections are built,
and how collecting patterns and priorities have changed
over time. This course will also include a session on The
Keithley Collection, an exhibition that celebrates the
extraordinary gift of 100 Impressionist and Modernist
works of art to the museum by Clevelanders Joseph P.
and Nancy F. Keithley to the Cleveland Museum of Art –
the most significant gift since the bequest of Leonard C.
Hanna Jr. in 1958.

Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858-1932) and Langston
Hughes (1901-1967) are two of the most celebrated African
American writers in the history of American literature and
both called Cleveland their home. The 2021-2022 Cleveland
Arts Prize “Past Masters” series, commemorating its 60th
anniversary, announced that both were among the 60
honorees and the title for this summer’s 2022 Front
International Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art –
“Oh, Gods of Dust and Rainbows” - also takes its inspiration
from the words of Langston Hughes. This lecture series will
focus on materials that were written by and about Hughes
and the lesser known Chesnutt, and the vast influence of
their literary art in both the racialized America of their
lifetimes and in the 21st century.

Ever since the dawn of existence there has been conflict,
violence and warfare. And for just as long, there has been
the need for care, nurturing and humanitarianism. Two
modern examples who demonstrate these traits in the
19th century are Henri Dunant and Clara Barton with their
connection to the laws of war, the Geneva Conventions and
the founding of the Red Cross.

With the rise in antisemitism nationwide, exploring the
world’s oldest hatred is more relevant and important than ever before. This course will explore the past, present, and future of antisemitism. We’ll delve into the history of antisemitism tropes, their modern manifestations, and will question how social media, Israel, and more impact how antisemitism shapes Jewish life today. Throughout, we will explore the Jewish future, including the choices that current and future generations are making in the face of rising antisemitism, and how Jewish identities are impacted by internal and external pressures.

In this course, we will consider what it might mean to bring
a contemporary lens to the work of 19th and 20th century
American authors William Faulkner, Henry David Thoreau,
Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Mark Twain and Flannery
O’Connor. Brilliant and timeless though their work may be,
they were also fully human and products of their time and
place. How might these texts reveal themselves anew
when we bring our contemporary - and often polarized -
sensibilities to bear on them?

Jews prepare for their New Year by engaging in teshuvah, a word that is usually translated as "repentance" and literally means "return." But the ideal of teshuvah also contains possibilities beyond individual penitence. Jewish thinkers have interpreted this concept to speak of many kinds of turnings and returnings - to tradition, to home, or to a whole self. In this class, we will read a variety of modern Jewish thinkers who bring teshuvah beyond the walls of the synagogue to speak to the spiritual and ethical challenges of modern life.

The arts can be a powerful forum for confronting moral issues. In the 19th century, Russian composers, working within a repressive regime, incorporated Russian folk material and liturgical chant to create a colorful repertoire of Eastern European opera. Two of the greatest stars of the Bolshoi Opera, between the 1930's and the postwar period, were Ukrainian artists: the Jewish bass Mark Reizen, and the tenor, Ivan Kozlovksy, who was prevented from foreign tours by his admirer, Stalin. This class will examine their historic film performances in Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, a study in guilt, along with great opera by Tchaikovsky, and others.

The mythology of the Trojan War provided a major inspiration for all of the Attic tragedians. Euripides, however, understood the Trojan War not only as a showcase of Olympian intervention and heroic prowess but as the opportunity to explore and reevaluate traditional views of gods and heroes in light of the intellectual and cultural revolution in the second half of the fifth century. This course will read some of Euripides’s Trojan cycle plays and examine how Euripides envisioned the Trojan War and its aftermath. Read: The Complete Greek Tragedies, 3rd Ed., Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most (Iphigenia in Aulis, Rhesus, The Trojan Women, Hecuba, Electra, Orestes, Cyclops) More

Film Noir, which emerged as a cinematic style in the
1940s, first came to life on the pages of the “hardboiled” writers of the previous decade. One of them was James M. Cain. Two of his novels, The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity, were adapted for the screen in the mid-1940s and provide textbook examples of the genre. But what is Film Noir? We will see some fascinating film clips from experts, but we will come to our own conclusions after we read and discuss each literary work, followed by a screening and discussion of the film adaptations. Read: The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity, James M. Cain This course is offered with the generous support of the Association for Continuing Education. More
