A prototype digital project looking at American and Japanese graphics depicting the opening of Japan to the outside world in the 1850s will be used as a case study to introduce the conceptual and practical issues involved in "visualizing cultures". The major course requirement will be creation and presentation of a project involving visualized cultures. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=6147a7b9adb1d4da02e636fbeaf0eb17 http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/78857 Dower, John Miyagawa, Shigeru 2013-05-10T05:06:10+05:00 21F.027J CMS.874 21H.917J en-US cultural perception imagery cultural identity 21F.027J CMS.874 21H.917J 21F.027 21H.917 MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course focuses on a range of theories of gender in modern life. In recent years, feminist scholars in a range of disciplines have challenged previously accepted notions of political theory such as the distinctions between public and private, the definitions of politics itself, the nature of citizenship, and the roles of women in civil society. In this course, we will examine different aspects of women's lives through the life cycle as seen from the vantage point of feminist theory. In addition, we will consider different ways of looking at power and political culture in modern societies, issues of race and class, poverty and welfare, and sexuality and morality.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course will survey the conditions of material life and the changing social and economic relations in medieval Europe with reference to the comparative context of contemporary Islamic, Chinese, and central Asian experiences. The subject covers the emergence and decline of feudal institutions, the transformation of peasant agriculture, living standards and the course of epidemic disease, and the ebb and flow of long-distance trade across the Eurasian system. Particular emphasis will be placed on the study of those factors, both institutional and technological, which have contributed to the emergence of capitalist organization and economic growth in Western Europe in contrast to the trajectories followed by the other major medieval economies. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=3196534df22402beeec3f8ca58236869 http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/77982 McCants, Anne 2013-03-22T07:22:27+05:00 21H.416J 14.70J en-US medieval Europe society economy feudalism agriculture disease epidemic capitalism 21H.416J 21H.416 14.70J 14.70 MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This is a course for those who are interested in the challenge posed by massive and persistent world poverty, and are hopeful that economists might have something useful to say about this challenge. The questions we will take up include: Is extreme poverty a thing of the past? What is economic life like when living under a dollar per day? Why do some countries grow fast and others fall further behind? Does growth help the poor? Are famines unavoidable? How can we end child labor—or should we? How do we make schools work for poor citizens? How do we deal with the disease burden? Is micro finance invaluable or overrated? Without property rights, is life destined to be "nasty, brutish and short"? Has globalization been good to the poor? Should we leave economic development to the market? Should we leave economic development to non-governmental organizations (NGOs)? Does foreign aid help or hinder? Where is the best place to intervene? http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=20e8b0377e6de74a327701b435a429b5 http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/77095 Donaldson, Dave Duflo, Esther 2013-02-15T05:17:44+05:00 14.73 en-US developing countries child labor randomized evaluations poverty and economic growth microfinance World Bank and IMF MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
