1 Brandeis University Programs in Religious Studies and South Asian Studies REL/SAS 152a Introduction to Hinduism Fall 2014 Time: TTh 3:30-4:50 Location: Olin-Sang Amer Civ Ctr 104 Instructor: Eric Steinschneider Office: Rabb 259 Office Hours: By Appointment Course Description: This course offers an introduction to the diverse yet interrelated traditions of practice and thought that together have contributed to the development of what has come to be called Hinduism. Over the course of the semester, students will have the opportunity to explore the central concepts, images, mythologies, and philosophies that have continuously shaped and reshaped Hindu religious traditions over the past four millennia. Among the topics to be considered are the relationship between Hinduism and its particular social and political contexts, its practice in urban and rural India, its relationship to other religious traditions, as well as contemporary questions of Hindu identity both in South Asia and the diaspora. Through a broad survey of these and related issues, students will develop fluency in the core vocabulary of Hinduism. Primary sources have been selected to allow students direct access to Hindu religious traditions, while secondary literature serves to nuance students understanding of these materials. All course readings are in English, and no prior knowledge of Hinduism or India is presumed.
2 Course Objectives: In addition to the thematic concerns described above, this course aims to develop the following skills: - Critically reading and analyzing complex primary and secondary sources - Expressing ideas and arguments cogently, coherently, and effectively in both writing and class discussion - Using film as an important resource for the academic study of religion - Conducting ethnographic fieldwork and interviews Course Requirements: 1. Class Participation All students are expected to come to each class having read the required materials and to actively engage in classroom discussions. 2. Short Responses Beginning September 2 nd students will be required to submit short written responses to the assigned readings. Responses are designed to encourage deeper engagement with the key concepts analyzed in the course, to facilitate classroom discussion, and to reward students for completing the assigned readings. While these responses may be informal, they are expected to be composed in full, grammatical sentences, to contain at least one question pertaining to the reading, and to run no more than 150 words. These responses will be submitted electronically the day before the relevant class, no later than 11:59 p.m. Late responses will not be accepted. Students are allowed a total of four passes during the course of the semester for which they will not be required to submit responses. 3. Film Review Three films will be screened throughout the semester. Students will be responsible for writing a 3-4 pages review on one of these films. The review is to provide a critical analysis of the film that ties it back to the course readings and classroom discussions. Reviews are to be submitted electronically exactly one week after the film is screened. 4. Essay or Ethnography A 7-8 page paper (12 pt. font, double-spaced, excluding a formal title page and bibliography) is due on the last day of class. This paper may take one of two forms: a. Final Research Essay: Students are free to develop their own topic provided it relates to the study of Hindu religious traditions. Students must incorporate at least one primary and one secondary source beyond assigned course readings into the paper. If selecting this option, students are strongly encouraged to discuss the proposed topic and potential sources with the instructor during office hourse well before the deadline. b. Final Ethnographic Essay: Students may visit a Hindu religious center in the Greater Boston Area and submit an ethnographic essay based on their visit. A list of local centers will be distributed to students. In addition to describing the center and its activities, this essay must include an original analysis of some component of the visit (e.g. an interview) which the student deems particularly significant. Furthermore, students must incorporate at least one primary and one
3 secondary source (either from or beyond the assigned course readings) into the paper. 5. Final Exam The final examination will be cumulative and evaluate students comprehension of assigned readings and class lectures. Calculation of Grade: 1. Class Participation 10% 2. Short Responses (20x1) 20% 3. Film Review 15% 4. Essay or Ethnography 25% 5. Final Exam 30% Total 100% Course Policies: I. Academic Integrity Academic integrity is foundational to the ethos of the university. Any academic dishonesty, ranging from cheating to plagiarism, is a serious academic offence and will be dealt with formally. Ignorance of the rules does not pardon you from the repercussions of violating university policies concerning academic integrity. For more information about how to promote academic integrity at Brandeis, see II. Absences and Late Assignments: Students are required to inform the instructor beforehand if they cannot attend a particular class. Please note that lecture notes will not be distributed to students, and thus students must obtain missed lecture notes from colleagues in the class. Late assignments will be assessed a penalty of 3% per day. Assignments submitted more than one week after the deadline has passed will not be accepted. III. Accessibility: Students with diverse learning styles and needs are welcome in this course. If you are a student with a documented disability on record at Brandeis University and wish to have a reasonable accommodation made for you in this class, please see me immediately.
