Contemporary Detective Fiction: Serial Killers, Forensic Science and Police Procedurals (Forensic Science, Literature, Creative Writing)
An introduction to the unusually rich and varied nature of contemporary detective fiction. This genre has moved far beyond earlier formulaic plots and stock characters. Writing about detectives, their methods for solving crime and the settings for their investigations has been transformed through social change. A new breed of detective fiction writers provides engrossing ways for readers to approach the moral dilemmas of our times. Topics covering these changes will include the current fascination with forensic science, the challenge of the serial killer and the development of police procedurals. More...
Metaphysics and its Critics (Philosophy)
Metaphysics is one of the oldest branches of western philosophy and one of the most enduring, notwithstanding a number of significant attacks on its nature, structure and content, particularly in the mid- to late-twentieth century. In this fully illustrated day, we look closely and rigorously at arguments put forward by a number of its critics (including sceptics, Hume, Kant, Russell, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Habermas, poststructuralist and ‘post-metaphysical’ thinkers) in order to see if their criticisms can be sustained or overcome. Is it possible to ‘overcome’ metaphysics, as some have argued? Is it possible for us to think today in ways that suggest that the vast trajectories of the western metaphysical tradition are anachronistic, moribund or exhausted? More...
Philosophies of the Enlightenment: The Age of Revolution (Philosophy)
The Enlightenment was a source of many important ideas, controversies and transformations: from the emerging emphasis on scientific inquiry and the rise of natural religion, the challenge of modern scepticism and the stirring affirmations in Europe and America of natural law, self-determination, dignity and freedom, to utopian projects and cosmopolitan ideals; not to mention the popularity of satire, comedy, tragedy and the arts. We focus on a number of these influential currents with reference to the writings of Locke, Hobbes and Bentham, Adam Smith, Leibniz and Voltaire, Goethe and (early) Beethoven, Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, Rochester, Moliere and Swift, among others. More...
Key Thinkers in Focus: Nietzsche, Heidegger and the Question of Meaning (Philosophy)
Heidegger and Nietzsche offered profound reflections on the question of meaning, the question of being (and non-being), and the questions of purpose and of freedom. We focus on Nietzsche’s attempted ‘overcoming of metaphysics’, his response to the challenge of nihilism in the modern world and his deep debt to the ancient Greeks (especially Heraclitus); we also focus on Heidegger’s recalling of Being; his profound critique of Nietzsche; his engagement with, and critique of, the age of the ‘advent of technology’; and his critiques of existentialism and humanism in relation to the task of finding meaning in the modern world. More...
Philosophical Concepts in Film: The Hero’s Journey (Film, Philosophy)
A number of philosophers have been concerned with the meaning, nature and character of the hero (for example, Plato and Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, Nietzsche and Heidegger, Camus, Wittgenstein, Tillich and Sartre). The figure of the hero has also fascinated many psychoanalysts (for example, Freud and Jung). We examine a number of theories and look at their impact on unforgettable films such as ‘Ben Hur’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘On the Waterfront’, ‘Shane’, ‘Andrei Rublev’, ‘Ashes and Diamonds’, ‘1900’ (1976), ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, ‘Raging Bull’, ‘Thelma and Louise’ and ‘The Godfather’. We also look at figures such as Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes, the transformation of vampire into hero – for example, in the Twilight series and ‘Dark Shadows’ (Tim Burton, 2012) – as well as the enduring appeal of Indiana Jones, the Jedi knights and the ‘Avengers’ (2012). Do we need “heroes” more than ever, as some have argued? Join us and find out in this fully illustrated course. More...
Masterpieces in Focus: 'The Great Gatsby' (Literature, Film)
‘The Great Gatsby’ is widely regarded as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s greatest work and one of the key works of American modernism. It portrays with unforgettable lucidity an age of “miracles, art and excess”, of innocence, corruption, decadence, romance, passion, love and death. We look closely at its major themes, characters, structure and style, and its enduring relevance and significance. We also look at the film version directed by Jack Clayton in 1974 with Robert Redford as Gatsby, and preview the new film version by Baz Luhrman (due for release in cinemas in December). More...

Ten Weeks on Foucault: Powerful Ideas and Practical Applications (Philosophy)
It will be argued that Foucault gives an analysis of political power and its institutions, which are crucial to understanding the world we now live in. Foucault shows that control over knowledge, that is what we know or believe, makes us what we are. One of the most important mechanisms of making modern individuals is the process of ‘normalisation’ in which divisions are established between groups such as ‘sane and insane’; criminal and law abiding; diseased and healthy. We will then apply ideas such as: ‘bio-power’; ‘technologies of the self’; ‘surveillance’ to some contemporary situations and see if Foucault’s ideas illuminate our social understanding. More...
Philosophy of the Unconscious in Literature (Philosophy, Literature)
What is that dark and fascinating place beneath the conscious mind, and how does it manifest itself in conscious thought? Many philosophers have proposed that ‘poetic thinking’ is a key to the unconscious. Starting with Blake’s ontology of the ‘living dead’, and Coleridge’s ‘opium dreams’, we will explore ideas of the unconscious through literature. We will then analyse four of the most powerful texts of the 20th century: Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’; Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’; D. H. Lawrence’s ‘Sons and Lovers’; and Virginia Woolf’s ‘The Waves’. More...

The Wonderful Mind of Isaiah Berlin (Philosophy)
In ‘Two Concepts of Liberty’, Isaiah Berlin comments that: “Over a hundred years ago, the German poet Heine warned the French not to underestimate the power of ideas: philosophical concepts nurtured in the stillness of a professor’s study could destroy a civilization”. Berlin is one of the great minds of the 20th Century; his writing covers nearly a 60 year span, from the 1930’s to his death in 1997. He wrote on: Liberty, Freedom and Political theory; The history of Ideas, relating their glorious and not so glorious past; Turgenev and Tolstoy in literature; His own brand of ethics; and ends with a consideration of China. If it is a curse to live in interesting times, Berlin certainly makes the philosophical most of his own times. More...
Introduction to Skepticism (Philosophy)
The Ancient Greek Skeptics aimed to cure dogmatists of the ‘disease’ of claiming to know things for which they had no proof, and of imposing their opinions on others. Skepticism is an appealing theory when it is used as a critique strategy against dogmatism; but is it a viable theory in its own right? In this course we will examine skepticism as it develops historically as a theory and also what it means to have a ‘skeptical attitude’. We will ask if there are benefits in developing a skeptical attitude. We will look at contemporary situations and consider how we ascertain the truth of our opinions in a media manipulated world and what are the implications of skepticism for morality, science and politics. Descartes, Hume, Nietzsche, Peirce, Hilary Putnam, are some of the philosophers in the course. More...
The Genius of Orson Wells (Film)
When the young maverick of New York theatre and radio, Orson Welles, was given a carte blanche to make a film at RKO in 1941 he was only 26 years old. The result was CITIZEN KANE, one of the most extraordinary debuts in cinema history. Welles was never again given the same kind of freedom, but still managed to make a series of flawed masterpieces over the next decades, including THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, TOUCH OF EVIL and CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT. Welles’ career will be illustrated by clips, documentary material and the screening of three of his features in full. More...

Notorious Women of the Middle Ages (Medieval History)
This fun and fact filled course will look at the ‘bad girls’ of the Middle Ages, women who gained a reputation of being notorious through their determination to live their lives in the way they chose, or who were determined to do what they thought was right, to the detriment of those around them! Eleanor of Aquitaine is the only woman to have been married to both the King of France and then the King of England. And what a life she led them both! Isabella, known as the She Wolf of France, is said to have murdered her husband in 1327. Margaret of Anjou fought for the throne of England for her son, despite all odds and making enemies wherever she went. Lastly, Joan of Arc, after saving France for the French in 1430, was tried by the English for heresy and witchcraft and burnt at the stake in 1431. More...
Through the Eyes of Artists and Patrons: Medieval to Baroque Italy (Art History, Medieval History, Architectural History)
Italy from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries witnessed regular outbreaks of political turmoil and social upheaval; yet it enjoyed successive periods of incredible artistic and cultural innovations. Many of these are integral to ways we understand and see the world today, and continue to inspire our imaginations. In this course we explore this period through the eyes of the artists and patrons who drove these changes. We’ll examine works these artists produced – from palaces and mosaics in Sicily, to the classically inspired sculptures of the late Middle Ages, and the paintings of Italian Renaissance masters – and documents from these periods that illuminate how artists and their patrons thought about themselves, their creations and each other. We’ll also consider the impact of leading historical figures on these times, such as Frederick II ‘the Wonder of the World’, Cesare Borgia and his father Pope Alexander VI, and Michelangelo and Julius II. More...

More...
Famous Mistresses in French History from the 15th to 18th Centuries (Medieval History)
The French have long been known for their slightly more casual approach to love and marriage and the French Kings were certainly no exception. Some were happily married, others had made political marriages with foreign princesses that took no account of common interests or even language. The mistresses they took were some of the most beautiful and accomplished women of their day, and were often greedy, meddlesome and avaricious as well. The legacies of the women themselves ranged from numerous children who married royalty throughout Europe, to patronage of the arts and sciences, to influencing political and religious reforms. Above all, they are remembered for love they shared with the Kings of France and the scandals that ensued. More...
Western Culture and Ultimate Reality (Religion, Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology)
We can usefully understand a given society in terms of its characteristic visions of ultimate reality. What, as shown both by its philosophical preoccupations and its socially valued activities (its economic relations, its sacred rituals, its art), is the basic vision of what truly is? In this course we turn the spotlight on western culture. We familiarise ourselves with some of the major philosophical issues involved in contending views of the ultimately real. We consider how in different periods western culture has instituted different visions of absolute reality, truth and value. And we analyse the birth and death of these visions. More...

Great Thinkers in Focus: Nietzsche (Philosophy)
Nietzsche is one of the most insightful, but also one of the most provocative, thinkers of the modern period. He is certainly one of the most controversial, given his ideas concerning the will, power, the ‘superman’, the ‘overcoming’ of metaphysics, the ‘eternal recurrence of the same’, the death of God and the transvaluation of moral codes. Reading him is almost never dull! We examine carefully and rigorously a number of these ideas, his uses (and abuses) of rhetoric and polemic, irony and dithyramb, and assess critically his manifold contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics and ethics. More...
Metaphysics: A Critical Introduction (Philosophy)
Metaphysics is one of the oldest and most thought-provoking, but also one of the most maligned, branches of philosophy. Yet it provides profound and enduring answers to the most searching questions: who we are, what we are, the nature of being, time, space, freedom, meaning and significance (or of non-being, insignificance and meaninglessness). We examine carefully and clearly the fundamental and enduring questions of metaphysics – a number of which define us fundamentally still in a number of important ways – the answers that philosophers have given to these questions, and its enduring meaning, value and significance. More...
The Longest Journey: 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' (Literature, Philosophy)
‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’ is an unforgettable exploration of the nature of happiness and sorrow, unity and fragmentation, being and becoming.

More...
Neuroscience and Metaphysics: The Hard Questions (Neuroscience, Philosophy)
The relationship between neuroscience and metaphysics is a complex and intriguing one. It highlights questions about the mind and the brain, memory and identity, freewill and determinism, happiness and pleasure, neural correlates of consciousness, the emotions, desire and fulfilment, ethics and morality, as well as the relation, if any, between quantum theory and neural mechanisms. In this fully illustrated day we will examine carefully some of these questions in order to see whether or not there are some questions which are ‘too hard’ to be answered, now or later. More...
Philosophical Concepts in Film: The (For-)Getting of Wisdom (Film, Philosophy)
The love and pursuit of wisdom are perhaps the oldest and most persistent grand themes of the western philosophical tradition. But what does wisdom mean in these contexts? And what does it mean to be a lover of wisdom? Indeed, is it possible now in any sense? Some philosophers believe that it is; others believe that we have forgotten what it means to be a lover of wisdom (or at least, a faithful lover in this context!) Is the love of wisdom greater than the love of happiness, or of truth? These questions and their possible answers have preoccupied thinkers since the time of Socrates and Plato, Aristotle and Epicurus, but they have also influenced many film makers in quite profound ways. We will focus on these relations, with reference to films such as ‘Mother’, ‘Gone with the Wind’, ‘La Strada’, ‘The Searchers’, ‘The Name of the Rose’, ‘The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’, ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’, ‘The Piano’, ‘The Tree of Life’ and ‘Hugo’. More...
The Men Who Freed India: Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah (Politics, Modern History)

More...
The Memsahibs: Women of the Raj (Modern History)
The coming of the British memsahibs to India under the East India Company and later under direct British rule significantly affected the dynamics of British society in the subcontinent. This course looks at when and why they first came out east and how their roles changed with events such as the 1857 Indian Mutiny and the establishment of the Indian Empire by Queen Victoria’s government. It is a story of tragedy and triumph, but above all of extraordinary women who carved a new life for themselves away from the shackles of their own restrictive social mores. More...

Macro Magic (Photography)
This new, two-day class, is designed to introduce photographers to the amazing world of extreme close-up photography. Many point-and-shoot cameras have a ‘pseudo’ macro mode – it allows you to get close but only with a wide-angle lens setting and even though the results are great, they are still nowhere near as controllable, or as precise as the results produced with a true macro lens on a DSLR camera. In fact, Macro photography creates a totally new way of looking at your environment, very closely, in abstraction and in precise detail. More...
