LITERATURE AND CULTURE

Viking Visions (NEW) JULY 2-30, 2019 KIRSTEN HARJES (kharjes@ucdavis.edu)

German 48 or 112, 198 Iceland, Germany, Denmark Ever wonder where the stories of Odin and Thor originally come from? Or what roles shieldmaidens and powerful female deities like Freya played in the societies that created them? This program will take you deep into the Viking world. We begin amidst the stunning natural beauty of Iceland, where we read foundational texts of Viking mythology and wander along the paths of those who wrote the oral traditions down.

We then move on to Northern Germany and Denmark, where we read sagas, historical chronicles, and modern adaptations of the myths, and visit reconstructed medieval villages, museums, music festivals, and excavated burial sites of ships and chieftains.

Our journey ends on a celebratory note with a two-day Viking reenactment festival on the beaches of Aarhus, Denmark.

Americans in Paris JUNE 30 – JULY 27, 2019 RAQUEL SCHERR (rlscherr@ucdavis.edu)

Comparative Literature 180S, 198 France—Paris Thomas Jefferson wrote that, “[A] walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life.” We will explore the city that mesmerized both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, who were the first Americans in Paris. We will examine why writers, from Jefferson to James Baldwin, wrote about Paris; why jazz musicians Sidney Bêchet and Cole Porter composed music in Paris; why Josephine Baker danced in Paris and became—along with Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel—a fashion icon; and why filmmakers such as Sophia Coppola and Woody Allen have featured Paris in their films.

We will learn to read the city and report on its culture from the vantage point of young 21st-century Americans in Paris, and ask whether, as F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “[the] best of America drifts to Paris,” and “The American in Paris is the best American.”

LITERATURE AND CULTURE

Writers in Greece AUGUST 6 – SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 ALIKI DRAGONA (apdragona@ucdavis.edu)

University Writing Program (UWP) 101, 198* Greece—Athens, Hydra, Nafplion When the god of sea and the goddess of wisdom competed for patronage of the great city, Poseidon, striking his trident to the ground, offered water. Athena planted an olive tree, becoming the patron deity of Athens, the starting point of our program.

Through several field trips to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the program will take students from Athens to the oracle of Delphi and the monasteries of Mystras to the olive groves of the Peloponnese and the kingdom of the Myceneans. Traveling the same lands with the American and Greek writers (in translation) the class will be reading, students will write about the complex identity of a country suspended between a rich past and a complex present in a land where the gods still speak. *Prerequisites enforced (see website).

The Grand Tour AUGUST 17 – SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 VICTOR SQUITIERI (vsquitieri@ucdavis.edu)

Humanities 180, 198 United Kingdom, France, Italy This program introduces students to the Grand Tour—a voyage through France and Italy undertaken by young Englishmen (and eventually, women) of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Grand Tour was designed to broaden the horizons of elite British youth by introducing them to continental languages and diplomacy, art and architecture, nature, culture, and geography—it was, in short, the culmination of an aristocratic education. We start in London and, following in the footsteps of the young men and women of a bygone era, we will make stops in Paris, Chamonix-Mont Blanc, and Rome. At each stage of our journey, we will retrace the literary, cultural, and artistic itinerary of the young people who took the Grand Tour centuries ago to learn more about the wide, wild world and their own privileged place within it. summerabroad.ucdavis.edu | SUMMER ABROAD 2019

SUMMER ABROAD 2019 | summerabroad.ucdavis.edu

JULY 2-31, 2019 JAMES MCELROY (jpmcelroy@ucdavis.edu)

English 138, 198 Ireland, France, Spain This program will introduce students to that Celtic strain—in literature, culture, language, music, and politics—that characterizes three different countries. By visiting and living in all three countries—Ireland, France, Spain—over a four-week period, students will get an opportunity to see, up-close and personal, some of the most stunning landscapes in Europe and to meet some of the most interesting people around: people who love to celebrate their unique Celtic heritage in an assembly of words and music. Students will also get an opportunity to taste the culinary delights that are native to the Celtic regions of Europe...

LITERATURE AND CULTURE

Oxford—Portal to Fantasy JUNE 29 – JULY 27, 2019 AMY CLARKE (amclarke@ucdavis.edu)

English 163, 198 United Kingdom—Oxford Ever since Alice fell down the rabbit-hole on the grounds of Christ Church College, Oxford has been at the center of modern fantasy literature. Oxford was home not only to Lewis Carroll, but also to C.S. Lewis, Deborah Harkness, J.R.R. Tolkien, Diana Wynne Jones, and Philip Pullman. Even J.K. Rowling is rolled up in the Oxford mythos, since the Potter films use many Oxford locations. We will read novels from each author, considering how the “City of Dreaming Spires” has shaped their work and question how these fantasies themselves have shaped the modern imagination and why they have become so central to our times. We will also visit the world of fandom, taking in Harry Potter tourism, visiting webworlds, and even trekking through landscape that inspired Narnia and the Shire.

Scottish Tales JUNE 22 – JULY 19, 2019 DAVID MASIEL (drmasiel@ucdavis.edu)

English 163, 198 United Kingdom—Edinburgh The supernatural figures largely in Scotland’s literature and culture. Scottish ballads are filled with stories of strange creatures and weird doings. Scottish castles are filled with ghosts and spirits. Witches wander through Shakespeare’s Macbeth and the poetry of Robert Burns. There is a Scottish Frankenstein. Jekyll becomes Hyde.

And the devil lurks everywhere. Scottish Tales will study the literature, films, and culture of Scotland, examining its supernatural component from the earliest ballads to contemporary cinema. Set in Edinburgh, one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, the program will include visits to castles, tours of the city, a ghost walk at night, a magic show, and a field trip to Glasgow. We will also spend two nights in the Scottish Highlands and take a cruise on Loch Ness, where rumor has it a creature lurks. summerabroad.ucdavis.edu | SUMMER ABROAD 2019

HISTORY AND CULTURE 8

Vienna—Crossroads of Central Europe AUGUST 1-31, 2019 KATHY STUART (kestuart@ucdavis.edu)

History 102S, 198 Austria—Vienna Vienna, one of Europe’s most magnificent capitals, is our home base. We hike the Austrian Alps and explore the Danube River and Austria’s stunningly beautiful winegrowing region. Gateway to Eastern Europe, Vienna saw epic battles between Christians and Muslims as Ottoman Turks advanced west. Mozart and Beethoven composed in Vienna, a musical capital home to more classical composers than any other city. Sigmund Freud and Gustav Klimt made Vienna the birthplace of “modernity” around 1900. For centuries a center of Jewish culture, Vienna saw the destruction of its flourishing Jewish community after Nazi annexation in 1938. We visit Austria’s most notorious concentration camp, Mauthausen. In the Cold War, Vienna, officially “neutral,” became a United Nations headquarter—and a hotbed of international espionage. With the fall of the iron curtain, it is again a meeting point between East and West.

HISTORY AND CULTURE

Revolutionary Cuba AUGUST 1-30, 2019 JORDAN LAUHON (jlauhon@ucdavis.edu)

History 165, 198 Cuba—Havana, Trinidad, Santa Clara, Camagüey, Santiago de Cuba Study the history and contemporary significance of the Cuban Revolution while living and traveling in Cuba. Students will read historical narratives, watch Cuban films, meet with Cuban scholars and students, and immerse themselves in daily life to develop their own interpretations of Cuba’s revolutionary tradition. What historical forces and circumstances led to the Cuban Revolution? How did participants, bystanders, and detractors experience the upheaval, and how have they struggled over its meaning and memory? How did the revolution impact hemispheric affairs and global politics? What does the future hold for Cuba and its revolutionary tradition? The group will spend three weeks in Havana—a UNESCO World Heritage Site— before embarking on a ten-day road trip across the island to Santiago de Cuba, the self-proclaimed “City of Revolutionaries.”

Rome—Art, Culture, History in the Eternal City JUNE 18 – JULY 15, 2019 JAY GROSSI (jgrossi@ucdavis.edu)

Italian 107S, 198 (Taught in English) Italy—Rome The classroom, in this hands-on experience, will be Rome, the Eternal City, and nearby archaeological and historical sites where we will study art, culture, and the Roman institutions that have shaped European culture and the world. We will explore landmarks like the Colosseum, the Vatican, the Pantheon, and Roman catacombs. We will also travel to the tombs of the ancient Etruscans in the picturesque medieval town of Tarquinia; the old Roman port of Ostia Antica; the ancient Monastery of Montecassino; and the famous ruins of Pompeii. Our program will spend two nights in Sorrento on the majestic Amalfi coast and conclude at the enchanting Renaissance Villa d’Este with its incredible waterworks. summerabroad.ucdavis.edu | SUMMER ABROAD 2019

GLOBAL AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Perspectives in Global Management (NEW) JUNE 22 – JULY 19, 2019 GERALD LUNDBLAD (lundblad@ucdavis.edu)

Agricultural and Resource Economics 112, 198 United Kingdom—Edinburgh, Glasgow, London With Britain scheduled to leave the European Union in 2019, it is an especially good setting in which to study global management in action. We will examine how firms develop new ideas and distribute products and services to international markets, and how they respond to changing winds of trade. We will visit ports to see supply chain management in practice, study the International Standards Organization that facilitates cross-border trade, and learn how such trade is financed. Based in historic Edinburgh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we will also visit Glasgow and London for additional lessons and perspectives on global management.

Environmental Justice in Indigenous Ecuador JULY 1-31, 2019 STEFANO VARESE (svarese@ucdavis.edu)

Native American Studies 120, 198 Ecuador—Quito, Amazon Basin Through lectures, seminars, and fieldwork, students examine the historical development and current situation of the rural indigenous communities of the Andes and the Amazon of Ecuador with special attention to issues of environmental and social justice, and human rights. The program emphasizes three indigenous people and regions of Ecuador that are threatened by mineral and oil extraction: the Northwestern cloud forest of Mindo and Intag Valley; the Andean Kichwa and Karanki communities of Otavalo and San Clemente; and the Huaorani people of the Shiripuno river in the Yasuní bio-reserve and the Kichwa autonomous territory of Sarayaku on the Bobonaza river. Students will develop individual research/creative projects and will have the opportunity to interact with indigenous Andean and Amazonian people with whom they will exchange and share knowledge, creativity, and intercultural experience.

GLOBAL AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Sustainable Cities of Northern Europe JULY 8 – AUGUST 4, 2019 CATHERINE BRINKLEY (ckbrinkley@ucdavis.edu)

Landscape Architecture 191, Environmental Science & Policy 173 or Community & Regional Development 153B, 198* Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland In this program we will study the plans, systems, and designs for urban sustainability, exploring transit, bike, and pedestrian circulation; renewable energy systems and waste management; and urban planning and landscape/open space design. Relying on lectures, field trips, bike tours, guest speakers, design and planning problems, and reading-the-city exercises, the program shows what lessons can be taken from Europe back to U.S. cities. We will visit 8-10 cities—large and small—in 4 countries that have demonstrated a commitment and success in becoming more sustainable; this includes looking in-depth at various deliberate eco-districts and neighborhoods like Vauban, Rieselfeld, Trekonner, Vestra Hamnen, Sjostad, and Hammarby in places like Stockholm, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Freiburg, Lucerne, and elsewhere. The importance of strong urban planning principles and design approaches is studied throughout the program. *Prerequisites enforced (see website).

Housing and Urbanism in Barcelona JUNE 29 – JULY 27, 2019 ROB WIENER (rjwiener@ucdavis.edu)

Community & Regional Development 153B, 198 or Landscape Architecture 191, 198 Spain—Barcelona Look up from your tapas and watch the flow of people—neighbors, tourists, artists, and peddlers— stroll down the Rambla. They disappear down the metro to resurface in some vibrant plaza or hillside neighborhood, climbing stairs to high-ceilinged apartments with views over this vibrant metropolis.

Barcelona, celebrated as a model for contemporary urbanism, architecture, and landscape, is also a city with innovative housing, strong community identities, and a long history of activism. For four weeks we will explore the relationship between city planning, communities, and housing—examining Barcelona’s urban history, housing policies, and grass-roots activism. With the city as our classroom, learning happens through daily field trips, guest lectures, design projects, and conversations at sidewalk cafes, where we will learn, synthesize, and apply knowledge to actual public spaces of this Mediterranean city. summerabroad.ucdavis.edu | SUMMER ABROAD 2019

Art History 122, 198

Textiles & Clothing 173, 198

France—Paris, Dijon, Nice, Marseilles This course explores the relationship between architecture and sexuality in the context of European modernism. It looks at the diverse ways Western sexuality and modern architecture have produced the conditions that define our age. The history of space-making has been saturated with sexual metaphors—the shaft, the high-rise, the closet—and sexual and gender identities have been shaped by architectural forms—the bathhouse, the kitchen, the hotel, the office, the secret garden, etc. Yet, the space of sexuality has been excluded from the history of architecture. Defined by a long-standing history of masculinity, architecture is one of the last maledominated professions. This course will examine a range of modern architectural highlights and landmarks in Paris, Dijon, Nice, and Marseilles.

World Cinema and the European Film Festival AUGUST 4 – SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 JAIMEY FISHER (jrfisher@ucdavis.edu)

Film Studies 125, 198 Italy, France, Switzerland Starting in Milan, then proceeding to the Locarno Film Festival in Italian Switzerland and finishing on the French Riviera in Cannes, this program examines contemporary cinema by considering how film festivals help in producing and distributing films around the world. The highlight of our time is the Locarno Film Festival, set in the lovely lake region of southern Switzerland/northern Italy (near Lake Como and Milan). Perched between Cannes (in spring) and Venice (in fall), Locarno is the most important summer festival. Students have a full festival pass and much of our work concerns the films at the festival. The class considers the relationship between national filmmaking and transnational festivals as well as that between Hollywood and independent/smaller productions. We examine a series of contemporary filmmakers who established themselves at film festivals (Wong, Haneke, Dolan et al.).
