The objectives for this Session Long Project include introducing some information about how the social, political, or religious history influenced the art or artist you have chosen to reflect on. You must chose a different artist or artwork from those presented in the Case Assignment. Your reflection should identify some of the typical values and characteristics of Late Modernist and/or Post-modernist art (Post-World War II). This information should, ultimately, serve to inform your own personal reaction to the artwork and/or the artist. You have the opportunity to make connections between your own personal interests and the concepts you are learning. You have more freedom to engage with particular issues are of interest to you. However, your engagement must reflect the research and background information you have read for the course module. Make sure to include the image itself or a link to it in your text.

Question 1:
George Kennan authored a policy document—NSC 10/2—that characterized covert action as those activities “so planned and conducted that any U.S. government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons and that if uncovered the U.S. government can plausibly disclaim any responsibility for them” (Scott and Rosati 2007).

Is this a realistic expectation for any covert action? Meaning, can we really expect the U.S. hand to remain “hidden” even if the action is discovered? If this is not realistic then why continue with the policy of plausible deniability? Or are there measures that can be put in place to make it a continued viable policy?

Question 2:
Compare the following case studies: Afghanistan and the Congo 1960-1961. Base your analysis with the questions provided in the “Lecture Notes” for Week 1:

Afghanistan

As the war continued between the Afghan fighters (Mujahidin) and the Soviet Army, the US intelligence community was somewhat divided as to the real situation on the ground. This led to a general reluctance by the CIA to commit resources to back the Mujahidin. CIA’s aversion to risk is particularly interesting because it demonstrates that the CIA itself is not always the driving force in covert actions – rather, it can be the Administration or the President who decides that a more proactive approach is needed. In 1980, President Carter signed a finding to provide support to the Afghan fighters, but its policy objectives were limited to harassing the Soviets. It was only under the Reagan administration that the policy objectives were broadened and promoted the withdrawal of the Soviet Army from Afghanistan. Once the policy goal was enunciated, the planning followed, with large expenditures devoted to supplying the Mujahidin with anti-aircraft and other tactical armaments. Like some covert actions, this operation had a multilateral component, as it was dependent on financial and logistical support from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Another important factor was the U.S. emphasis on “plausible deniability,” by keeping the US role in training and logistical support as secretive as possible.

Congo 1960-1

The assassination of Congo’s President Patrice Lumumba is often claimed to be a CIA operation. This is a prime example where the CIA might not have actually conducted the operation itself, but its knowledge of the operation raised suspicion of its involvement. Lumumba, according to declassified cables and other information, was seen as a Soviet sympathizer and there were fears that his government would tip Africa towards the Soviet Union. CIA Director Dulles believed that this was an immediate concern and that Lumumba must be removed as soon as possible. The CIA hatched a rather elaborate plot to place poison on Lumumba’s toothbrush. But before the poison could be planted, Lumumba was toppled in a military coup and eventually killed by firing squad, commanded by a Belgian officer. The CIA was widely believed to be behind the entire killing and while this does not appear to be true, there are indications that the CIA Station Chief in the Congo was completely aware of the upcoming coup and Lumumba’s ultimate demise. After Lumumba’s death, the Congo deteriorated under the three-decade rule of Joseph Mobuto.

(1) What was the objective of each operation? Was there an overriding policy imperative or were they missions to gain access to the adversary’s information?

(2) What oversight or legal review occurred during their planning?

(3) Who or which organizations were accountable for the operations? What turf issues arose prior to or during the operations?

(4) What resources were necessary to successfully carry them out?

(5) What was the cost/benefit analysis of each operation? Weigh their risks, especially when they are publicly exposed.

(6) In evaluating each operation, what objectives were achieved and what unintended consequences occurred?

Question 3:

Please review this hypothetical situation and indicate (a) whether covert action is appropriate (b) identify the risks and benefits of a covert action (c) identify legal hurdles and (c) decide whether the President should inform all the relevant Congressional intelligence committees or limit knowledge to the “Gang of Eight.” Take into consideration political ramifications and possible blowback.

Concern has built up over Bashar al-Assad’s hold on power and his actions against the Syrian opposition. Through a variety of sources, the CIA believes it has a reliable asset inside the regime that could either organize a coup or “eliminate” the leader. The President has asked you to give him an honest assessment on the possibilities for both.

LA 107 Humanities for Healthcare Providers
Unit 5: UNDERSTANDING THEATER

Making Connections
________________________________________
Theater differs from the static arts in that, like music, it is a performance and is, in that regard, ephemeral; although it can be recorded for posterity. Nonetheless, the elements of art apply to theater as they do to all of the arts.

About this Unit

This unit covers the evolution of important movements, styles and vocabulary of theater through the review of theatrical conventions, musical approaches to theater, and conventions of film making.
Theater is, in effect, the only collaborative art. While other arts rely on the work of a single artist, theater begins with the work of the playwright, which is then developed by producer, director, actors, set designers, technical experts, stagehands, publicists, and a live audience. All are necessary for the success of a play, musical, opera, or movie. This, of course, takes a lot of cooperation, development of a common artistic viewpoint and concept, and time to do all that is required in developing the final work.

Estimated Time Requirements

The work for this unit should be completed within 1 – 2 weeks. Complete this unit’s assignments before starting the next unit.

Unit Objectives
________________________________________
Upon completion of this unit the student can expect to:
1) Understand the history of theater and what it has contributed to the cultures in which it exists.
2) Learn about the various elements of theater and what each adds to the overall impact of the work.
3) Appreciate the contributions of the various theatrical collaborators in developing the work.
4) Expand your appreciation of theater as an evolving work of art.

Required Readings, Lectures, Web Sites, Videos, Other Sources Content
