Course Title:
Maritime Studies
Course Description:
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U232. Focuses on a multidisciplinary study of the sea and sea voyage in the Western tradition and the role of the sea in the historical development of the modern world system of labor, trade, and scientific resource management. Tales of the sea from literature are supplemented with classic films, paintings, and songs. Together, students explore the expectations that they, as products of American popular and high culture, bring to their impending sea voyage. Through further readings, lectures, and field studies, students explore the uses we have made of the sea-from fishing and whaling to scientific exploration and warfare-with an eye toward understanding the roots of contemporary maritime affairs. Part of the SEA Semester program.
