FRES 1020: The Art of Pantomime from the Ancient Greeks
to Marcel Marceau (98-831) This course will focus on the development of pantomime from its earliest use by the Ancient Greeks, through the evolution of pantomime and mime as separate art forms. Students will view performances by the Tivoli Pantomime Theatre, Marcel Marceau, Stefan Nedzikowski, Alithea Mime Theatre and many other artists. Dr. Lisa Fusillo is a member of the UGA Department of Dance and has received a Willson CHA Senior Faculty Research Grant to complete her book, Storytelling in Ballet: A History and Practice of Ballet Mime. FRES 1020: French Film Festival (39-019) UGA hosts a French Film Festival each winter, presenting 5 recent French movies (with English sub-titles) projected in 35 mm. This seminar meets for 7 class sessions + students attend the 5 screenings (Mondays: Jan 29, Feb, 5, 12, 19, and 26 at 8 PM in Tate Center Theater, $1). Students learn critical writing skills, discuss contemporary France, and write film reviews. Richard Neupert, Wheatley Professor of Film Studies, coordinates cinema studies at UGA and is author of A HISTORY OF THE FRENCH NEW WAVE. Catherine Jones (Romance Languages; French) specializes in French literature of the medieval period. "Author of THE NOBLE MERCHANT, she is director of the French learning community at UGA." FRES 1020: Film Noir (19-066) FRES 1020: International and Independent Arthouse Cinema
(88-870) This 8-week double period class will first meet on January 10 at CIné, 234 West Hancock. This seminar will be held off campus at CIné, Athens new arthouse cinema in downtown, located at 234 West Hancock Avenue. Film excerpts will be used in discussions of the international contributions of film. The aesthetics of film production and viewing will also be considered in this state of the art facility. Richard Siegesmund is Assistant Professor of Art Education at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. He teaches a graduate seminar in contemporary aesthetics and has a special interest in how international independent arthouse film reflects important issues within modern culture. FRES 1020 Archaeology at UGA: An Exhibition and Symposium (38-825) Significant archaeological research takes place in departments across campus. Students in the seminar will highlight this type of research, which is carried out around the world, by interviewing and collecting materials from active archaeologists in the Anthropology, Classics, Geology and Art Departments. They will present these materials in a one-week exhibition at the gallery of the Tate Student Center and will organize a one-day symposium featuring presentations by faculty archaeologists. No exhibition or symposium at UGA has ever focused on the considerable achievements of our own archaeologists. Dr. Van Keuren is a classical archaeologist/ancient art historian
who has enjoyed working with students in two previous first-year
seminars. One was devoted to assisting with the Annual Juried Exhibition at the Lyndon House. The other involved the curating of a small exhibition on the Trojan War at the Georgia Museum. Working
on exhibitions is valuable because it demystifies how they are
put together, and creates an appreciation for the museum as a presenter
and preserver of the artifacts and different lifestyles of peoples
worldwide. FRES 1010: Shakespeare's Meanings (08-871) We will see how far we can go in determining the original meanings
of selected Shakespeare plays. Besides exploring great works of
art and learning about the period in which Shakespeare wrote, the
seminar will explore the issues of the "meaning" of works
of art and of recovering the intentions of artists. Due to the
use of films, classes may run over the scheduled finish times. Michael Winship teaches early modern English and American history. His most recent book is Making Heretics: Militant Protestantism and Free Grace in Massachusetts, 1636-1641 (Princeton, 2002). Cancelled Hula is an art form rich in history. This seminar will focus on the cultural significance of the movement and mele (words) of hula. We will also address hula in Hollywood and the effects of tourism on traditional hula. The course will primarily be a discussion/ lecture format, however, movement experiences will be included. Catherine Zahrn is a Lecturer in the Department of Dance. She earned a MFA in Modern Dance Performance and Choreography in 2001 from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she toured the Hawaiian Islands with the UH Dance Ensemble. While in Hawaii, Ms. Zahrn expanded her knowledge of dance to include the rich Hawaiian form of hula.

Also included will be information on present day ballets, ballet companies, backstage activities, costumes, set design and more. Joan Buttram is an Associate Professor at UGA and the Ballet Coordinator for the Department of Dance. As the Founding Artistic Director of the UGA Ballet Ensemble (1991), Ms. Buttram has staged full-length ballets including La Sylphide, La Bayadere, and Giselle as well as Paquita, Raymonda, Le Grand Pas de Quatre and the pas de deux from Le Cosaire. She has created her own choreography in a variety of mediums, presented throughout the states and in Italy. FRES 1010: Digital Images in the Classroom and Beyond (90-157) This seminar will introduce students to presentation equipment (LCD projectors, Smart boards, etc) and computer programs (Photoshop, etc) used with digital images. The transition to digital images will require that students know how to use the new equipment/programs to be successful in their classes. In this seminar, students will learn how to create digital images from slides, or other sources, and use them in programs such as PowerPoint, etc. Demonstrating the proper usage of these programs to students, particularly students of art history, will help them to learn and feel comfortable using the now requisite technologies for working with images and will provide them with a greater set of skills when they leave the academy. Emy Decker is the Director of Visual Resources at the Lamar Dodd School of Art and chapter chair of the Southeast Chapter of the Visual Resources Association (VRA). She has experience with building digital image databases and using scanners and other equipment to acquire digital files. She is well versed in data standards for cataloging images and uses software daily for image manipulation. FRES 1010: Dancing in America: Realizing Freedom (70-397) All human beings move and are moved by internal and external rhythms. We dance our own truths or imitate others until their dancing becomes fully ours. This course explores through readings, films and our own stories the wonderful way that American dancers of different cultural backgrounds have found freedom of speech, expressing their truths within several American dance forms. Janet Robertson has loved dancing and dancers, amateur and professional, all her life and has taught many different forms of dance and movement to students from five to eighty-five since a 1969 summer job in culturally diverse, inner city YWCA. At UGA, she teaches ballet, folk and dance appreciation.
FRES 1010: Artificial
Intelligence - It's for real! (18-824) Ever since the development of the earliest mechanical devices,
people have
contemplated the notion of competing against a non-human opponent at
some sort of game (from recreational gaming to warfare simulation and
training games; Go and Chess are good examples). Today's
modern "computer
opponents" provide a wide array of stimulating and learning challenges
for humans. Two major items distinguish modern computer opponents
in all gaming genres, namely an immersive graphical user interface,
and "intelligent" computer
opponents. The goal of this research seminar is to investigate
the historical development of non-human opponent gaming with
special emphasis on computer opponents. In addition, we want
to focus on at least one specific computer game and investigate
the development of an intelligent agent for us to compete
against. An excellent gaming environment is provided
in Microsoft's Age of Empires II: Age of Kings; considered
one of the best
real-time strategy games ever developed. We will use this
game to
develop our own intelligent players. Some programming experience
is helpful
but not necessary. Don Potter is Director of the Artificial Intelligence Center, and Professor of Computer Science. His research and teaching interests include database management systems and artificial intelligence. He is currently working on several projects (funded by the USDA Forest Service) that focus on applying artificial intelligence techniques to support forest management decision making. FRES 1010: Problem
Solving and the Use of the Internet (09-009)Thiab Taha,
Computer Science This seminar examines the use of free software for solving real problems. Each student will present a non-trivial problem and will be asked to use the Internet to find the right free software that helps in finding a satisfactory solution. The student will compare the free software with some of the available commercial packages. Each student will present his/her finding to the class. In addition, the instructor will present an introduction to computer science and his research interests. Thiab Taha is a Professor of Computer Science. His research interests include scientific and distributed computing and software development for solving problems in nonlinear waves and optical fiber communication systems. Dr. Taha is the recipient of the M. G. Michael Award for Research in the Sciences at UGA (1985) and a Fulbright scholar Awardee in 1995-1996.
FRES
1020: Cod - Rise and Fall of a Fishery (09-373) North America was settled in part because of the quest by European fishermen for cod. Civilizations rose, wars were fought and ultimately the fishery collapsed. This section is based loosely on the book “Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World” by Mark Kurlansky, which will be required reading. We will see cod, feel cod, discuss cod and (if we’re lucky) even have an opportunity to taste cod. Dr. James Hollibaugh is a Professor in the Department of Marine Sciences at UGA. He is the author or co-author of over 130 articles on matters marine. His interest in and familiarity with cod stems from his graduate studies in Oceanography at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Field work afforded many trips to Newfoundland and Labrador where many remote villages subsist on cod, moose and moonshine. FRES 1020: Selected Topics from the Practice of Medicine (88-822) Discussion is based on articles from medical journals (and perhaps lay magazines and newspapers) each week. The course will give premed students insight into the daily activities of a practicing physician, including the moral, ethical, scientific, communication, and legal dilemmas generated in patient care situations that demand that a physician’s decision result in a proper outcome desired by patients, their families, their insurance companies, their government officials, and their legal representatives. These topics are sometimes pertinent in interviews and essays for medical school applications. At the end of the course, students should be able to apply their lessons to the selection of their future college courses and other activities to prepare for future medical studies and practices. This seminar is somewhat different from the typical first-year seminar, in that it meets concurrently with upperclassmen enrolled in BIOL 3900 to facilitate mentoring relations with upperclassmen for premed freshmen. R. Alan Langford, MD, FAAD, is Director of the Premedical Studies Program (a unit of the Office of the Vice-President for Instruction) and a faculty member in Microbiology and Pharmacy at UGA. See: http://www.franklin.uga.edu/people/alangford.htm FRES 1010: The Secret Lives of Plants (38-839) The Franklin College maintains a world-class greenhouse just down the street from the Ramsey Center. That greenhouse is used for research as well as teaching and contains thousands of remarkable plants. Plants are the foundation of life on this planet and certainly brighten up a dorm room, so it is important to know something about them. This seminar will meet weekly at the Plant Biology Greenhouses on Riverbend Road where we will explore the secret lives of plants. In addition, we will be learning about plants by learning how to propagate them; by the end of the semester, you’ll have loads of plants for your dorm room. Rodney Mauricio is a professor in the Genetics department and teaches evolutionary biology. His research is on the interactions between plants and the things that eat them. He has traveled the globe to study plants, although his mother taught him the timeless enjoyment of plants. FRES
1010: An “Iron Clad” Solution to Global Warming (and
other planetary feedback stories) (09-213) This course will present and examine popular theories about how the ocean and atmosphere interact to control planetary climate. Topics include the critical role of iron in controlling global climate, feedbacks between biological activity and cloud formation, and how global warming might bring on the next ice age. The nature of these feedbacks are becoming more clear as modern ocean research uncovers new information on the pieces that make up the puzzle of global change. We will discuss the merits and shortfalls of these feedback theories and provide a larger view as to how the world we live in actually works. Dr. Miller has degrees in Biology, Marine Biology, and Chemical Oceanography and is currently Director of the UGA Marine Institute on Sapelo Island. He has been active in the international Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study and has publications in a variety of topics including, trace metal interactions with biological systems, marine carbon cycles, marine photochemistry, trace gas exchange, ocean optics and remote sensing. FRES 1020: Implications of the Human Genome (19-021) The first draft of the complete human genome finished in 2000. How is this genetic information being used to explain biological traits? Why, for instance, are certain individuals more likely to get Alzheimer’s disease than others? This seminar series will discuss how scientists are converting this genetic data to information on the biological processes occurring in the cells, along with the techniques and tools used to accomplish these goals. Ron Orlando is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. His research focuses on the development of mass spectrometry for proteomic and glycomic investigations, and the application of these techniques to search for biomarkers to allow the early detection of ovarian cancer and to better understand stem cell development/differentiation.

FRES 1020: The Environmentalism of
Barbara Kingsolver (08-832) Barbara Kingsolver, author of the novels The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer, as well as many other books, explores our society’s values and ethics in the way we treat our land and each other. The class will read and discuss Small Wonder, a collection of her essays. Betty Jean Craige is University Professor of Comparative Literature and Director of the Center for Humanities and Arts. She is author of Laying the Ladder Down, American Patriotism in a Global Society, Eugene Odum: Ecosystem Ecologist and Environmentalist, and other books about holistic thinking. She also translates Spanish poetry and writes about the Spanish artist Alvar Suñol. FRES 1010: The Hobbit and Beowulf (48-834) Children's literature scholar Ruth M. Stein once said in an article that J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is an inside-out retelling of the Old English epic poem Beowulf, a work of literature Tolkien studied professionally and admired artistically. Tolkien's debt to Beowulf is demonstrable throughout all his works; this seminar examines its influence on The Hobbit. Jonathan Evans teaches courses on Old English and Beowulf and has published scholarly articles and essays on J.R.R. Tolkien's works. His entries on "Dwarves," "Dragons," "Danish," "The Misty Mountains," and a number of other subjects are forthcoming in Tolkien Encyclopedia (Routledge, 2006). His co-authored book on Tolkien's environmentalism is also forthcoming 2006. FRES 1020: The Tower of Song: The Poetry of Leonard Cohen
(58-826) This seminar will focus on songwriter/poet Leonard Cohen. He is a self-described "minor poet," but his work has major resonance--it is haunting, amusing, and profound. Sometimes described as a "slit your wrists" type songster, Cohen strikes me, rather, as a ironist of the first order. When push came to shove after 9/11, he was anything but despairing. In this seminar, we will read, listen, and respond. I am not an expert in the life and works of Leonard Cohen, so you will have to do some reading and thinking on your own about him. What I will bring to the table is the ability to read and analyze poetry--and the ability to help you learn to do the same. Together, we (ideally) will do for Leonard Cohen what Christorpher Ricks has done for Bob Dylan--i.e. we will recognize and analyze poetic genius in the lyrics of his songs. Requirements: Weekly attendance; journal entries; one guided discussion following your lead. Elizabeth Kraft teaches eighteenth-century literature and a couple of film courses in the Department of English. She has also taught, from time to time, the department's Introduction to Poetry class. Her interest in the works of Leonard Cohen goes beyond her field of expertise in many ways. She simply finds this artist intriguing and would like to explore the resonances of his work with students interested in doing likewise. FRES 1010: American Storytelling (08-840) Everybody's got stories--every individual, every family, every culture. But what experiences and skills make a great storyteller? What better way to find out than to listen to and analyze some of America's best? Jay O'Callahan, Laura Simms, Donald Davis, Elizabeth Ellis, Tim Tingle, J.J. Reneaux, Bill Harley, and others. Each student will work up a story for presentation at an end-of-semester showcase. Max Reinhart is a professor of German. He is a board member with the National Storytelling Network and has followed the art of storytelling in America since its revival in the late 1970s. FRES 1020: Bob Dylan (14-353) The career and works of the great American song writer Bob Dylan,
from his early days in Greenwich Village to the present. Focusing
on five key albums, we will talk about and listen to his music
and consider its origins in the American folk and popular music
traditions, its meaning, its poetry, and its commentary on politics,
history, and current events. We’ll read a selection of articles
and book chapters on Dylan, including selections from the first
volume of his autobiography Chronicles, and reflect
on his monumental contribution to American culture. Students will
keep a journal and submit a paper or project to the class. Hugh Ruppersburg is Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences and Professor of English. He has written on William Faulkner and Robert Penn Warren and other American writers, as well as on film, and is at work on a book about the American South in film. FRES 1010: Shakespeare's

FRES 1010: Reading Wordsworth's The Prelude (09-826) ". . . in this my new abode [i.e. University], Nelson Hilton is Professor of English and Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning.
FRES 1010: Edible
Invertebrates (18-838) Have you ever been called "spineless"? For the majority of animals on the planet this would not be an insult! Invertebrates (animals without backbones) form the base of most food chains, and a number of predators, including humans, like to eat them. In this seminar we will explore the biology of different invertebrates as we prepare them for a meal. Participants will be expected to have an adventurous palette! Mark Farmer is Professor of Cellular Biology and earned his PhD. in 1988 from Rutgers University. His work with marine organisms has brought him in contact with many different types of invertebrates, most of which he likes. Bill Fitt is a Professor of Ecology and earned his Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He studies the ecological physiology of marine invertebrates, with a emphasis of symbioses in corals. FRES 1020: Geobiology: The History of Life on Earth
(99-655) Geobiology is an interdisciplinary field that studies interactions between the biosphere, lithosphere (Earth) and atmosphere. A major focus of Geobiology is to investigate the history of life on Earth and to document how life has impacted, and is impacted by, variations in the lithosphere and atmosphere. Astrobiology, the search for life on other planets, is a related field and will also be discussed in this course. Dr. Joye is a Professor of Marine Sciences. Her research studies the geobiology of "extreme" environments, including extremely salty lakes, terrestrial hot springs, and cold seeps along the deep sea floor.
FRES 1020: Molecules That Changed History (09-017) From the American Slave Trade to the Persian Gulf Wars, chemical compounds have had a profound affect on history. History and Chemistry are not only intimately linked, but politics, government policies, and military conflicts often have a "chemical" component. This seminar will examine simple molecules such as salt, sugar, and ammonia from an historical perspective. Suggested Reading: "Napoleon’s Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History" by Penny LeCouteur and Jay Burreson. Professor Robinson is Franklin Professor of Chemistry at The University of Georgia. His research interests concern the synthesis and structure of organometallic compounds. FRES 1020: Mars
- New Ideas about an Old Planet (79-315) Recent NASA missions have returned images of the Mars, sent Rovers scurrying across the planet's surface and investigated soils and rocks of the surface. We will use these new data to understand the evolution of Mars and how it compares to Earth. Topics will include the possibility of life on Mars, the role of water in shaping the Martian landscape, and future missions to Mars. This seminar is recommended for students interested in science and space exploration. Mike Roden grew up in New Jersey and trips to the American Museum of Natural History in New York kindled an interest in natural science which he pursued in college. After graduate school in Texas and Massachusetts, he worked at the University of Minnesota before coming to UGA in 1984. His current research focuses on the nature of terrestrial volcanism and the evolution of the planets and moons. FRES 1010: Quantum Weirdos (28-833) Description: ...and why they aren't that weird after all. We'll do a survey of the quantum landscape and some of the weird animals that populate it. Waves matter, matter waves. The sad story of Schrödinger's cat. The uncertainty principle: why ignorance rules! The faster-than-light quantum telephone, batteries not included. Bell's inequalities vs. the illusion of free will. Quantum kryptography: how the guv'mint hides what they're too dumb to know. Quantum teleportation: do not try this at home!
