BANKING
A...Course Content
This course examines international banking in four contexts: macroeconomic, micro-
:.. economic, sectoral and regulatory. Thus the course begins by placing international
banking in larger theoretical, historical and market frameworks. Next the inter-
•
?
?
national bank is studied
in
its role as a financial intermediary, taking deposits
and making loans. Thirdly, the course examines the international bank's specialized
•
?
?
operations in certain financial sectors:
?
making syndicated loans, and its involve-
ment in the Eurobond and foreign exchange markets. Finally, the course considers the
currently fluid regulatory environment facing the industry.
A term paper is required.

Topics in Canadian Literature
The Canadian West in Fiction
What is
the Canadian West - other than the usually defined geographic
area from Manitoba to
the Pacific? This course looks at some attempts to
define the West in fiction
as place, as habitation, as myth, as verticality
and horizontalitY, and
so on. Do geographical features influence form?
Is regionalism
a fruitful way of defining a corpus of fiction? Has the West
become a real home for Canadians? Is the answer to that question the one
provided by Peter Stevens
in
his poem "Saskatchewan"?
"For who are we? We are merely intruders."

Shakespeare Our Contemporary
*The tragic situation becomes grotesque when both alternatives
of the choice imposed are absurd, Irrelevant, or compromising.
The hero
has to play, even If there is no game. Every move
Is bad, but he
cannot throw down his cards. To throw down
the cards
would also be a bad move."
Jan Kott, Shakespeare Our Contemporary
"Comedy Is a feeling of absurdity, and seems more hopeless than
tragedy;
comedy allows no way out of a given situation."
Eugene lonesco, Experience du Theatre
Using four of Shakespeare's
best known plays as a point of departure, we
will consider the tragi-comic grotesqueries of human experiences as presented
In several modern works of drama. Particular emphasis will be placed on the
dramatic text as a vehicle for performance. The course will include recordings
and film versions of several of the plays as well as the opportunity to see a
local stage production.

Special Studies B: OLD NORSE
In
this course we shall encounter the heroic and mythological literature
of ancient Iceland. This literature has provided northern Europe with a
magnificent rationale of violence, and, as a cosmology and ethos alternative
to the southern and eastern, is both sterner and more exalted. It has kept
a steady hold on the imaginations of English authors as diverse as Gray, Morris,
Auden, and Tolkien.
This literature Is
composed in an ancient Germanic language, and will be
studied in the original. Therefore the first part of the course will be devoted
to learning Its grammar. You must be prepared to learn the grammar quickly and
well and to spend a good deal of time translating. At the same time as we
learn the grammar we shall read the brilliant refurbishings of the ancient stories
of the gods by Snorri Sturluson, and in this way make the grammar intelligible as
we go. From there we shall likely move on to the best of the shorter sagas--
Hrafnkelssaga Freysgoa, and, after examining several shorter pieces from Gordon's
reader, end looking at several of the heroic poems from the Poetic Edda.
In the course we shall stay close to textual considerations, since our main
effort will be directed to encountering the literature in its own language and in
Its own terms. These considerations are fundamentally interpretative as well
as philological.
Required Texts:
E.V. Gordon. ed.

Ursula Dronke,

Recommended Text:

?
A Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic
?
Oxford
Course Requirements:
Regular translation and discussion, regular grammar tests, and a final
take-home examination.
The grade will be based on the degree of reading and interpretative proficiency
you have achieved by the end of the course. Reading proficiency consists of the
correctness of translation and the intelligence with which you are able to make
our knowledge of the grammar work for you. Interpretative proficiency will be
asured in large part from performance on the final examination.
Note: Seminars
will
be held in the first week
of
classes.

SOCIOECONOM[C HISTORY
Briefly the fo11aing eras
will be studied in order to understand the spatial growth and
eventual extent of the Russian Empire:
(1) the nuclear ?'nscovite state;
(ii)
the drive northwards to the Arctic coast in the 16th century;
(iii)
the drive eastwards across Siberia and in to North America, rapid in
the 17th century, less so In the 18th;
(iv)
a more, gradual move westward into the Baltic area, Central Europe and the
Balkins In the 18th and early 19th centuries. The area of. the present
Ukraine was largely thsotbed during this period. In the late 18th century
Russia obtained a share of dismethered Poland.
(v)
a gradual movement southards in European Russia, the Black Sea and Caucasus
late in the 18th century and during the nineteenth, culminating in the
capture of Transcaucasia in the early decades of the 19th century, followed
by the occupation of Central Asia and the Far East in the
later decades.
Paralleling these imperial
conquests were the show development of an
industrial
base, and the feudal nature of the countryside. Serfs w..re not in fact emancipated
until
1861, and the form of the emancipation was such that an immobilized peasant base
remained until after 1917. The revolutiorm of 1917 can be seen as the
inevitable end
result of human existence in such historical settings, and the Soviet Union today
cannot be fully understood without reference to these processes.

(iii) THE EXTRAORDINARY

M. WEST IN
THE HANDS OF THE BOLSHEVIKS
(Kuleslov, 1924) - re-edited American films were popular in the S. Union
in the 1920's (both Shob and Eisenstcin worked on these) and this is a parody
of an American's view of early Soviet society.

10. October 9th, and seminar period October 10th *
(1) ARSENAL
(Douzcnko, 1929) and (ii) EARTH (Dovzenko, 1930)
The first film covers the war of 1914, the misery
in
the countryside and the
horrors at the front, and Tsarist attempts to cover up the situation.
Earth is quite different, a rural paean about
collectivisation,
and
thus very
different from Elsenstein's urban based look and
rural Russia in the Old and
the
Hew

with Potemkin as one of the "all time bests" in filmmaking. A free adaptation
of a Gorky novel:it is about strike breaking, police informers, and ultimately
death in a demonstration. The second film
is set in
the "War of Intervention"
after 1917 when Imperialist troops, in this case the British, invaded Russian
territory, only to be "swept way, as in a storm."

I TAKE THE FLOOR, directed by Gleb PanFilov. Based on the life of a woman who
becomes mayor of a medium sized Russian city, it is unique both in its unsparing
scrutiny of the paralysis of social process in the S. Union and in its filmic form.
The film becomes a scathing examination of how an outmoded consciousness is
inadequate to deal with present reality, despite the best of intentions.

SEMINAR: CAUSALITY
FALL SEMESTER 1980

REQUIRED TEXTS:
T. Beauchamp, ed. ?
Causality
Several xeroxed articles.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
One of the most central concepts of our understanding is that of causality.
Although we may not use the term "cause" very often, much of our thinking and
reasoning about the world -- including ourselves, other persons, the events we
participate in, and those we merely witness -- is saturated with causal concepts:
pushing, pulling, shooting, aiding, lending, borrowing, repairing, removing,
scratching, denting, bending, tuning, hammering, cooking, sewing, polishing,
dropping.
What exactly, is the causal relation? Put another way, what conditions
it
had
be satisfied for it to be true that x causes y? David Hume had thought
had found the answer. But later generations of philosophers have objected
in part or in whole to his answer. Some of them even argue that the concept is,
in the end, unanalyzable.
In a one-semester seminar, we will only sample some of the volumes of
material produced on the subject. The following topics fall within the rubric
of the course, but we need not restrict ourselves to them.
1) Natural causation vs. supernatural.
2)
Reasons and causes: what, exactly, is the relation between the two?
3)
Can an effect precede its cause? Would genuine foreknowledge be in-
compatible with causality?
4)
What is the connection, if any, between knowledge and causation? In
particular, if a person is to know something about an event, must
there be some causal relation between that event and his/her believing
that the event has occurred?
5)
Are all events caused? If so, what are the implications of this for
there being free will? Is free will possible if there is universal
causation? Is free will possible if causation is not universal?
6)
What is a causal law? Is it a mere universally true generalization,
or must one suppose that something more is involved, some kind of
natural - albeit not logical - necessitation?
7)
How can causal relations 'emerge' at a macro level unless they are
presupposed at a micro level? Can ensembles exhibit predictable
behavior if their components do not?

COURSE CONTENT
- - The course will, through selected readings examine the relation-
ship between sociology, linguistics and literary criticism
?
Some of the
---.--questions addressed- wfll:be whether so-called 'descriptive' linguistics
implies añecessary.relativity of judgment in' assessing language usage.
Is it meaningful to talk of the 'degeneration' of language? If so,
in
what sense? How and in' what sense is language 'tied' to a particular
community? How can one account for language-learning, linguistic change
or conservatism? What is the relationship between written and spoken -
language? The course will also examine the use of language by
social -
groups such as prisoners, bureaucrats, political and ethnic minority groups,
the military and sociologists themselves.
No previous knowledge of linguistics on the part of students
is
p
resupposed. Most of the discussion will refer to the English language.
