DLCL 122: The Digital Middle Ages
How can we make historical materials, social and cultural practices and extant sites accessible in the present day? In this course, students will have the opportunity to design and create an innovative digital project based on a medieval primary source. In the first part of the course, we will familiarize ourselves with medieval European cultural history, focusing on different kinds of sources, including historical and religious texts, narrative and music, architecture, images, objects, and textiles. Then we will examine and evaluate digital resources and approaches to medieval sources, including digital facsimiles, experiments with virtual spaces, and informational sites. In order to contemporize and vivify the medieval, an integral component of this course will be the California Missions, since they so dramatically represent a medieval modus operandi in a modern, and, for Stanford, local, world.

DLCL 152A: DLCL Film Series: Films on Film (DLCL 354A)
Join us for the DLCL Film Series¿ Spring theme, FILMS ON FILM, as we look at how the cinema portrays itself in international film. Starting with Dziga Vertov¿s revolutionary film
The Man with the Movie Camera (1929), we will briefly examine the history of early cinema and pre-cinematic technologies and how the camera adapted itself to modern urban experiences. Passing to Ventura Pons'
Actresses (1996), we will examine the voices and bodies of actors and actresses that make up the raw material of cinema. The fantastically self-reflexive New Wave movement of Federico Fellini¿s 8 1/2 (1963) introduces the anxiety of film production and the blurring of the lines between reality and film that we will see in Michel Gondry¿s surreal
The Science of Sleep (2006) and Spike Jonze¿s cripplingly self-conscious
Adaptation (2002). We will also look at Federico Veiroj¿s
The Useful Life (2010) to examine the representation of the movie theatre, and the effects screening has on audiences and the projectionist. Les Blank¿s
Burden of Dreams (1982), which features Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski, and Wim Wender¿s
The State of Things (1983) illustrate the struggle of filming, finding the necessary capital and labor for production, and wrangling the unexpected and unplanned aspects of reality. Whereas Pablo Berger¿s
Torremolinos 73 shows the dreams of a desperate man who dreams of cinematic glory, David Lynch¿s unsettling
Mulholland Drive (2001) uncovers the dark underbelly of Hollywood culture. Discussions will focus on the way that films flatter, critique, and repeat themselves, complexify or wear themselves out, and experiment with new aspects of their self-consciousness. In particular we will discuss how nationality, class, gender, and technology affect films¿ representation of their origins, production, and influence on the world.nnnPlease be aware that some films may include graphic or disturbing content. Viewers are advised to familiarize themselves with the films' content before viewing. All screenings are free and open to the public and audience members are encouraged to participate in the discussions following the films.nnnPlease also note that grades for this course are entirely dependent on attendance, which is taken at the end of each screening. Enrolled students MUST attend AT LEAST SEVEN screenings in order to obtain credit.

DLCL 223: Renaissances
The Renaissances Group brings together faculty members and students from over a dozen departments at Stanford to consider the present and future of early modern literary studies (a period spanning the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries). Taking seriously the plural form of the group's name, we seek to explore the early modern period from a wide range of disciplinary, cultural, linguistic, and geographical perspectives. Topic for 2012-14: "Nodes, Networks, Names."

DLCL 224: Workshop in Poetics
The Workshop in Poetics is concerned with the theoretical and practical dimensions of the reading and criticism of poetry. During the three years of its existence, the Workshop has become a central venue at Stanford enabling participants to share their individual projects in a general conversation outside of disciplinary and national confinements. The two dimensions that the workshop sees as urgent are: poetics in its specificity as an arena for theory and interpretive practice, and historical poetics as a particular set of challenges for the reader and scholar.

DLCL 225: Digital Humanities
The Digital Humanities Focal Group (DHFG) will promote faculty and graduate research in the digital humanities through lectures series, praxis workshops, curriculum, and the identification and development of digital humanities research projects, especially those eligible for grant-funding opportunities. DHFG sponsors a lecture series and convenes regular workshops alternating between praxis and theory. These activities provide fora in which faculty and graduate students can share work in progress, discuss the state of the field, and identify important research that should be shared with the DLCL and broader academic communities. Crucially, the DHFG will promote digital research on underrepresented literatures and cultures to counteract the English-language dominance of much work in the field.
