Even if you have read it, each exposure invites > fresh perspectives. James based Isabel Archer, his protagonist, on a beloved > cousin—Minny Temple—whose loss was very painful to him, and in many ways he > uses the novel to imagine what Minny’s life might have been like had she—a > “highly intelligent, highly strung, idealistic, sharp-tongued, restless, > passionately impulsive young woman”—ever lived to travel to Europe or grown > to encounter the complex challenges of adulthood. Thus, in many aspects, this > is a “coming of age” novel. This work also reflects, to the prominent James > critic, Philip Horne, “a dialogue between Victorian certainties and modernist > doubts.” It is, therefore, a discourse between American innocence and > European cynicism. We will read around 60 pages a week, with accompanying > questions to consider in advance of each class. > 10 Tu | Jan 14-Mar 18 | 10:30 am-12 pm | Online > > > > The Theme of Love in the Hebrew Bible with Dale Landis > Love is a central theme in the Hebrew Bible, encompassing covenantal love > between God and Israel, familial and communal love, love for aliens, love for > creation, friendship, erotic love and more. We will discuss two key Hebrew > words: “ahav” (to love), and "hesed” (steadfast love, loving kindness). We > will read (in translation) a selection of short passages using these words, > and discuss their biblical context. This will highlight the multi-faceted and > complex nature of love in the Bible. > Th | Feb 6 | 10-11:30 am | Online > > > > Home: Painting Culture through a Sense of Place with Nancy Baker > Home is the place that anchors or defines you. Every culture develops a > communal sense of home built in its distinctive landscape and its social > development. Paintings chosen will draw from the landscape and genre > tradition. This course will begin in the British Isles, seeing how painters > from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales have shaped their regional visual > images of a social sense of self. We’ll move on to Scandinavia to do the > same. After looking at the American reassurance of the strength of home in > the 1930s and Black artists who created their world sense at the same time, > we’ll end with the Japanese way of blending figure and landscape to reveal > their culture. > 5 Mo | Feb 24-Mar 24 | 10-11:30 am | Online > > > > Law for Non-Lawyers with Pamela Talbot > “The Law” is defined as: the system of rules which a particular country or > community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it > may enforce by the imposition of penalties. > Ie: "they were taken to court for breaking the law" > That ‘system of rules’, also known as ‘the law’, can sometimes seem like a > quagmire or a maze, especially if a person is unfamiliar with its fundamental > terms and tenets. Join us for a discussion of the basics that underlie the > general genesis, passage, imposition, and enforcement of the law. Familiarize > yourself with the practical application of basic terms like ‘due process’, > ‘jursidiction’, ‘equitable relief’, and ‘standards of proof’. Understand > better what is common law, statutory law, agency law, and what are the limits > therein. Demystify the difference among administrative, civil, and criminal > tribunals, and how the law is enforced in each of those forums. > ***Details coming soon!*** > > Spring classes will be announced soon, including Twentieth-Century Lite with > Keith Daniel starting March 12th! > > CCACE is thrilled to be able to offer Village University programs to our > community members.
