The content of these courses is my own. As these are college/university-level lectures I have drawn upon and quoted scholars in the usual academic fashion; in each such case I give footnotes wherever possible and bibliographic references otherwise.
Photos, videos, paintings, etc., used in the lectures are credited as much as possible; I have avoided using source material that cannot be credited.
Quotation or use of excerpts of poems, films, videos, paintings, and other works is done in accord with the legal understanding of “fair use”. That is, in accordance with the understanding in the law that such use is licit for purposes of
- criticism and commentary (quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment would normally be fair use)
- research and scholarship (quoting a short passage in a scholarly work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations is deemed acceptable use, as is showing a painting in an academic lecture or article to express the prevalence of an outlook in history)
- educational uses (teachers photocopying limited portions of written works for classroom use is normally acceptable). (To respect copyright, the texts used in the Readings are properly scholarly translations in the public domain, not the most recent translations.)
