This course introduces students to components of the book and bookmaking, including printing, which for centuries has been known as “the art preservative of all arts.” Primary goals of this course include ensuring the accurate and precise description of parts of books, fostering a familiarity with essential bookmaking processes, extending to some scholarly applications of bibliography, and inviting creative approaches to twenty-first century bookmaking and book modification. The course pays special attention to the interplay between lexical content, expressive form, and artistic reflection. Class sessions balance attention to scholarly and historical readings, demonstrations and explorations of media, and independent and collaborative hands-on work.<\/p>\n

It will investigate the origins and development of racism in modern European society, the manifestations of that racism, and responses to persecution. An additional focus of the course will be comparisons between different groups, different countries, and different phases during the Nazi era. The class concludes with an examination of the memory of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n
