ENROLMENT AND SCHEDULING
Estimated Enrolment: 200
Semester Offered (e.g. yearly, dvery Spring; twice yearly, Fall

Yearly
When will course first be offered?
8 months after approval by Senate, thus either Fall 1971 or Spring 1972.
3. JUSTIFICATION
A.
What is the detailed description of the course including
differentiation from lower level courses, from similar courses
in the same department, and from courses in other departments
in the University?
At present no course takes a holistic view of the growth of
technology and the environmental crisis in our society. Ecologists
tend to neglect the societal changes implicit in their "ecosystem
notion".

C.
flow does this
COUiSO
fit the goals of the department?
Geography is concerned with, among other things , the relationship between
man and his environment, both cultural and physical. This Department, in
its programmes, is concerned with all aspects of this relationshi p
. To
date however, it has not been possible to present a course of this nature,
particularly one designed primarily for non-geography majors. Only recently
has a large amount of information become available about the impact between
societal chance and environmental crises.
D.
How does this course affect degree requirements?
None
E.
What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect the
addition of this course?
Insertion of a statement that Geography 001 cannot be
taken as part
of
the Geography major/honors program.
.
F.
What course, if any, is being dropped from the calendar if
this course is approved?
None.
G.
What is the nature of student demand for this course?
Considerable questioning of the illusion of the benefits of continuing
technologic change and its feedback to the environment (i.e., pollution)
seems to exist amongst all students.
H.
Other reasons for introducing the course.
To examine the human and environmental costs and benefits of a
growing technological and scientific system.

COURSE OUTLINE:
1.
Introduction. An ecological perspective on the effects of scientific
thought and technology on the man-environment relationship.
Particular stress will be placed on the social and psychic costs
peculiar to the human component of the ecosystem.
2.

institutions and politicians in shaping the direction and solution
of the crisis; an examination of the uses and abuses of the current
concern for "ecology"; the feedback to the technologic system.
5. The Pro
p
hets of the flew. Mankind, the prophets say, is on the threshold
of a new age, with new powers over man and environment, which will
radically transform the whole character and meaning of human
existence. The prophets include a "sociological group" like Ellul,
Marshall, McLuhun, Gross, Etzioni and other futurists, and an
"existential" group like Skinner, Clarke, and Teilhard de Chard-;.n.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the philosophy of Teilbard and
its critics.
6. The Technological Revolution. The historical growth of techno!o,', the
conceot of an "industrial man" and its subsequent transformation to
"technologic man", the effects on the environment and the ecological
crusade, and the various "utopia" are now examined in the light of
current counter proposals - viz. Roszak's, The Making of a Counter
Culture, Muller's, The Children of' Franke ins tein, Leo arx's, The
Machine in the Garden and Fromin's, The Revolution of Hope.
7. A Guide to Contemporary Reality. With these technoloic and anti-technologic
philosphies in mind, we can view the contrasting mdels that are
erected
of:-
(1) imperialism
(ii) economic apartheid
(iii)
the military industrial complex,
(iv)
earth resources
(v) the conservation ethic
(vi) education
(vii)
urban living
(viii) environmental quality.
8. CQnclusiofl - Survival in the Global Villace. An assessment of the
prospects of survival in the light of the technologic crisis, the
concept of the ecosystem, and the aim towards some common human
welfare.

Renaissance
are
not used in lower level courses because of their language
difficulties. At the 400 level, F.

students both in Linguistics and Literature as an illustration of French
403 and

with a
special interest in the Middle Ages
would

La Chanson de Roland, F. Whitehead, ed., Blackwells, 1962.
Beroul, The Romance of Tristan, A. Ewert, ed., Blackwella, 1958.

Montaigne, Essais, Collection du Flambeau.
Outline:
1.
General - The course is intended to fill .the program's present gap by a study
• ?
of some of the major texts from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The texts
are chosen to emphasize the various genres and to give some idea of these in
their earliest forms in French literature. Stress on the aspects of continuity
O ?
between the two periods as well as a definition of the more traditional points
of contrast between them, e.g. that between a period of faith and the humanism
of the Renaissance. Both Villon and Rabelais will be seen as transitional
figures. It Is recommended, but not required that the student have taken
French 403-404.
2.
Initially a discussion of the double perspectives of French literature In its
origins, using the epic (Chanson de Roland) and the romance (Tristan) as focal
points. Especially important will be the concepts
of
heroism and courtly love
as forms of self-realization on a social and esthetic plane. Situation of works
in their historical context although the principal stress will be on their
literary value, particularly the structure and function of the rcit Romance
seen as precurseur of the novel.
3.
The second stage will deal briefly with the origins of the theater in France,
both comic and serious. Character of the religious theater and its evolution
up to the 15th century: moraiit, yre, miracle. Some consideration of the
techniques of presentation, dcor, jeu scniq, etc. Secular theater illus-
trated by Pathelin, with a discussion of the popular literature of the period
and the various audience levels to which literature in the Middle Ages appealed.
- ?
4. ?
Finally, for the Middle Ages, a discussion of lyric poetry. Reference to the
• ?
arts potigues of the period to explain the early esthetic of poetry in France.
The works of Villon to illustrate major themes of poetic
expression throughout
the period.
a
a
?
2.
5. The Renaissance viewed from the standpoints of poetry (emphasis on the Pliade)
and prose (Rabelais and Montaigne). Brief discussion of the major intellectual
currents: humanism, p1atoism, etc. Rabelais to be seen as a transitional
figure, Montaigne more as pointing to the free-thinking trends of the 17th and
lCth centuries. Stress on the conic world-view of Rabelais, the introspective
method of Montaigne. The esthetic of the Pliade considered in contrast with
the poetics of the Middle Ages, showing the evolution in the use of language as
an expressive device. Question of hermetic poetry in the 16th century: Maurice
Scve. Brief discussion of the idea of the baroque as the final poetic stage
of the period.
6.
The course will require an oral report and a paper plus a one hour written exam.
It is hoped that the first two still allow the individual student to study in

sarily selective. Most of the necessary critical apparatus will be provided
by the texts chosen.
