Details

About this major Classics and Ancient History is the study of the languages, literature, history, art and archaeology of the ancient Greek andRoman civilisations. These two cultures lie at the very foundation of the modern world, and we are surrounded by theirlegacy: from the Olympic Games to the alphabet, from democracy to Christianity, from theatre to the rule of law—whereverwe turn we find ourselves in their debt. These uncannily familiar Greeks and the Romans struggled with many of the samecrucial issues as we do: globalisation, the 'clash of civilisations' and the decline of great powers. This exciting major lets youcombine the languages with the history and archaeology of the classical world to give you a holistic picture of this vibrantand eternally relevant era. UWA is the only university in Western Australia where you can study this intriguing major.

Outcomes # Outcome

1 describe the chief eras, achievements and enduring legacies of the classical world

2 assess various forms (written and material) of evidence used to study the classical world, and synthesise such diverse evidence

3 demonstrate in several areas of specialised study a sophisticated appreciation of, and a basic command of research practice into, specific eras,methodologies, or classical authors

4 demonstrate a basic understanding of at least one of the classical languages

Unit sequence


to Unit sequence

We are proposing no net change in the number of units offered by CLAN. Three units are to be rescinded; offered in their place are threeproposed new level 3 units.CLAN3010 will replace CLAN3001.CLAN3011 will replace CLAN3007.CLAN3012 will replace CLAN3003.There will be no impact on student progression in the CLAN major, as there will be no net change to the number of level 3 CLAN unitsoffered in any given year. The new units will be offered on a two-year rotation, in exactly the fashion thatthe units they replaced had been rotated (since 2012).

The proposed units offer the discipline increased scope for co-teaching. In addition, they provide opportunities for greater interactionbetween CLAN and other Humanities disciplines, attractive as these units (particularly CLAN3011 and 3012) may be to students of (forexample) History and English. The proposed units also reflect current, dominant research trends in the discipline at the international level,where the Hellenistic world, gender studies and classical reception are key growth areas.

Introduced units:+ CLAN3010 Greece Without Borders: The Hellenistic World [as option] [Proposed]+ CLAN3012 After Antiquity: Receptions of Greco-Roman Culture from Augustine to Atwood [as option] [Proposed]+ CLAN3011 Sex, Gender, and the Body in the Greco-Roman World [as option] [Proposed]Removed units:- CLAN3003 Greek Theatre [was option] [rescission proposed for 2020]- CLAN3001 Ancient Epic [was option] [rescission proposed for 2020]- CLAN3007 The Majesty of the Roman Empire [was option]

Academic information

Content The campaigns of Alexander the Great saw a profound acceleration of the diffusion of Greek culture across a vast swathe ofterritory, and prompted the emergence, from Egypt to India, of new, hybrid cultures. These new cultures were located withininnovative political entities, the Hellenistic kingdoms, and shaped by highly successful dynasties such as the Seleucids andPtolemies. Mirroring the evolution of these kingdoms in the east was the rise of Rome in the west. This unit explores thisdynamic Hellenistic period (323-31 BCE) and the cultural artefacts — from art and architecture to literature — that itproduced; it explores also the fluid, and often violent, interactions between these divergent power-blocks, and does sothrough engagement with the complex and often fragmentary ancient evidence from the period itself.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) describe and interpret the major events and cultural features of the Hellenistic period; (2) evaluateand synthesise different types of ancient evidence that contribute to our understanding of the Hellenistic period and itscultures; (3) critically evaluate the modern scholarship on the Hellenistic period; (4) conduct research in the field ofHellenistic history; and (5) articulate, in written and oral forms, understandings of the Hellenistic world..

Content This unit introduces students to ancient Greco-Roman attitudes towards sex, gender, and conceptions of the human bodyfrom the first century BC through to the advent of Late Antiquity. Students will have the chance to read and interpretevidence from Greco-Roman literature and material culture, including Imperial Greek and Latin poetry (in translation), plays,medical texts, religious writings, prose fiction, the plastic arts, and graffiti. By extension, this unit challenges students tothink more deeply about the differences and similarities between ancient and modern approaches to these issues, and theuses of contemporary theoretical frameworks for interpreting the ancient evidence.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) identify some of the key characteristics of Greco-Roman attitudes towards sex, gender andconceptions of the human body during the period of the Roman Empire; (2) evaluate the different types of evidence studied(literary texts, sub-literary texts, inscriptions, and material culture) that contribute to our understanding of Greco-Romanattitudes towards sex, gender, and conceptions of the body; (3) critically evaluate modern scholarship relevant to the areaof study; (4) conduct research in this area of study using print and electronic resources; and (5) demonstrate criticalreasoning and analytical skills.

Content This unit introduces students to how the writers, thinkers and artists of ancient Greece and Rome have influenced writers,thinkers and artists worldwide, from Africa in the 5th century CE (Saint Augustine) to contemporary Australia. In the first halfof the unit students receive a roadmap of major historical landmarks in the ‘Classical Tradition', such as the revival ofclassical learning under Charlemagne in the 9th century CE, the Platonic Renaissance of the twelfth century, and therecovery of lost ancient works by the humanists of the Italian Renaissance. In the second half, via a series of in-depth casestudies, students will have the opportunity to explore the reception of key ancient works in medieval, early modern andcontemporary literature and media. Genres and authors covered may include: epic, from Homer through to MargaretAtwood's Penelopiad; ancient Stoic thought in the Renaissance and in modern self-help literature; and various filmadaptations of classical plays, stories and characters, such as Pasolini's Medea and Spike Lee's Chi-Raq (based onAristophanes' Lysistrata).

Outcomes Students are able to (1) identify and describe significant elements of continuity and change in the global inheritance of theClassical tradition of Greece and Rome over the period from late antiquity to the present day; (2) read and interpret originalliterature, documents and artworks in relation to their influence from and transformation of Classical models; (3) displayfamiliarity with the major disciplinary approaches (scholarship, theories and methodologies) that underpin the study of theClassical tradition and also the newer field of Classical Reception Studies; and (4) develop clear and scholarly interpretationsfrom independent research and analysis, using the appropriate discourse conventions of written and oral forms, and be ableto defend a critical position.

Title Classics and Ancient History



Humanities

Coordinator Dr Neil O'Sullivan

Undergraduatedegree

BA(Hons)



Availability Available for new enrolments

Entry requirements

Entry requirements the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 70 per cent in the Level 3 units of the Classics and AncientHistory major.


Academic objectives Honours in Classics and Ancient History is a combination of coursework and your own extended research essay, ordissertation. The assessment is equally divided between these two components. The coursework consists of four seminars ineach of which you study a particular text, period of history, or methodology. You work in small groups with an expert in thefield—the experience is challenging but the best possible transition between undergraduate learning and independentresearch. The dissertation component is your chance to try out extended research for yourself. You work closely with yoursupervisor who helps you select an appropriate and engaging topic and meets regularly with you to check your progress andto offer assistance and ideas. Many find the experience draws them on to a higher degree in the discipline, while others goon to make successful careers in such areas as teaching, commerce, the public service, and the arts and culture sectors.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) produce advanced-level research that is methodologically informed; (2) articulate an independentcritical position in scholarly debate in written and oral forms; (3) display a sophisticated use of a range of ancient material,including literature in the original classical languages as appropriate; (4) demonstrate familiarity with, and understanding of,current scholarship, scholarly resources and scholarly methodologies; and (5) demonstrate awareness of the multi-disciplinary nature of research in the Classical World.

Researchcomponent

The formal research component will be a 10-15,000 word dissertation, but most coursework seminars will also containresearch essays of much shorter length.

Review of Humanities Honours has resulted in the amalgamation of Humanities Dissertation Units.

Staffing changes make it unfeasible for us to offer CLAN4106 in future, and we are thus proposing to rescind this unit. We propose in itsplace to offer CLAN4017, which will draw upon the expertise of current staff and can be team taught. The introduction of CLAN4107 (inplace of 4106) in 2020 is necessary to allow students (including those already enrolled) who are specialising in history rather thanlanguage to complete a full Honours programme in CLAN.

Content The adoption of writing by the Greeks and Romans was transformative of their own cultures and came to dominate them infundamental ways. Our understanding of their civilisations and histories is overwhelmingly reliant on their written records,and on the processes of survival of these records—from inscriptions and speeches, to poems, narrative histories andphilosophical investigations—up to the age of printing and beyond. This unit focuses on the technology of writing from itsearliest beginnings in Mycenaean Linear B, through to the development of Greek and Roman alphabets, and the differentmaterials used to preserve writing, such as stone, animal skin, metal and papyrus. The physical nature of books and librariesin the classical world is studied, with particular attention to the transition from roll to codex, the book format which remainsthe standard today. Finally, some attention is paid to the different forms of writing from antiquity to the beginning ofprinting, especially the emergence of minuscule in the eighth and ninth centuries.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) to demonstrate an understanding of the emergence of the Greek and Roman alphabets; (2) todescribe the physical nature of ancient writing materials, especially books, and the commercial and scholarly networkswhich distributed and preserved them in the ancient world; and (3) to demonstrate an understanding of the changes of bookforms and writing from late antiquity through to the early modern period.

Additionalinformation fromproposer

In 2018 Classics and Ancient History rescinded the honours unit CLAN4106 (Material Culture), as staffing changes had left uswithout the expertise to run that unit. The rescinding of that unit has left us without sufficient non-language specialist unitsat Honours level for non-language students to complete the requirements of the Honours programme; as such, it isimperative that a new Honours unit in CLAN be made available in 2020.

Title History



Humanities

Coordinator Associate Professor Ethan Blue (Sem 1) and Dr Jeremy Martens (sem 2)

Undergraduatedegree

BA(Hons)




Entry requirements

Entry requirements the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 70 per cent in the Level 3 units of the History major.


Academic objectives Honours in History is a one-year, full-time or two-year, part-time specialisation taken at the end of an undergraduate degree.It involves a 15,000-word dissertation on a subject of your choice, a six-point seminar unit entitled HIST4101 Historiography,and three one-semester seminars on specific historical topics. In these seminars students study particular texts focused on ahistorical period, theme or methodology, and work in small groups with an expert in the field, who is usually publishing in it.The experience is challenging but the best possible transition between undergraduate learning and independent research.The dissertation component provides a chance for students to try out extended research for themselves. Students workclosely with their supervisor who helps them select an appropriate and engaging topic and meets regularly with students tocheck their progress and to offer assistance and ideas, but the dissertation is always the student's work and the academichigh-point of a student's undergraduate career. Many find the experience draws them on to a higher degree in thediscipline, while others, now equipped with a sounder understanding of their undergraduate major and academic processes,go on to make successful careers in such areas as teaching, commerce, the public service, and the arts and culture sectors.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) demonstrate an advanced critical understanding of important themes in the discipline of History; (2)demonstrate advanced historiographical understanding; (3) demonstrate advanced-level research skills that aremethodologically informed; and (4) articulate an independent critical position clearly in written and oral forms.

Researchcomponent

Fifty percent of the course will be based on a dissertation of 15,000 words. This will require a research proposal, a writtenliterature review and a discussion of research methods.

Honours information

Code HON-PHILY

Title Philosophy



Humanities

Coordinator Dr Michael Rubin

Undergraduatedegree

BA(Hons)




Entry requirements

Entry requirements the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 75 per cent in the Level 3 units of the Philosophy major.


Academic objectives Honours in Philosophy will develop high-level research skills and an ability to analyse and construct arguments, deepen yourknowledge of the history of philosophy, as well as broaden and integrate your understanding of the sub-fields of philosophy.The honours seminars are designed to build on the understanding and knowledge of topics and historical figures that youencountered in your undergraduate study. You will also become familiar with cutting-edge, contemporary work inphilosophy, which you have only a limited opportunity to explore at undergraduate level.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) strengthen generic intellectual skills such as analysing and critically assessing arguments,constructing and expressing their own arguments, constructing and expressing explanations of phenomena; (2) develop acritical understanding of the core issues in key areas of philosophy including metaphysics, the philosophy of mind,metaethics, social and political philosophy, analytic philosophy, and the history of philosophy; (3) develop public speakingand professional presentation skills; (4) develop critical writing skills; and (5) develop core research skills in preparation forresearch oriented postgraduate work and/or research oriented work outside of the academy.

Researchcomponent

Reseach skills training and assessment will be entirely embedded in the two research thesis units. As part of the researchunits students will be required to: submit a research proposal and literature review; submit a research thesis of between12,000 and 15,000 words; and give an oral presentation of a key part of their dissertation. Each of these elements will betaken into consideration in determining a final mark for the research thesis units. Furthermore, the thesis itself will beassessed partly in terms of the extent to which it conforms to the conventions of research and argument construction inPhilosophy.

The Honours thesis would normally be examined by two independent examiners, neither of which has been involved in thesupervision of the student. However, supervisors are permitted to provide a brief statement about the student’s work, whichthe examiners are required to take into consideration in determining the thesis mark.
