final project.
|
50:350:205

Graphic Storytelling (3)
From cave
drawings to computer-generated avatars, visual storytelling has always been
central to how we know ourselves. Over the course of this semester, we'll study
nine graphic novels and memoirs as way into thinking about the central issues
of our age. How does the graphic form synthesize our evolving ideas of gender,
race, and class? How does it manage to break down public and private, highbrow
and lowbrow, and all the expected binaries? What can graphic narratives do that
traditional text-alone narratives can't do? Through careful study and joyful
appreciation of the work in front of us, we'll think about the matters of
identity, interaction, and intertextuality as a way to become more attuned to
ourselves and others: the culture in which we live.
|
50:350:235
Short-Story Collections of the Ancient and Medieval World (3)
The short story is often presumed to be a
relatively recent invention, a diminutive offshoot of the novel, a form which saw its major growth in the 18th century. But the short story has been
thriving, independent of long-form fiction, with a long heritage in world
literature, and is often found as pieces in larger narrative tapestries. This
course will explore five of these collections of shorter fiction, ranging from
classical India, to the
Roman Empire, to the heights of medieval Arab civilization, to Italy and England just before the European
Renaissance. These stories comprise some of the most interesting and innovative
attempts to fictionalize human experience, ranging from animal fables to
fabliaux and other bawdy tales, to works of religious experience and
mythological explanations of the natural world. We will read narratives of
change and wonder, encounter the values of high and low culture, and learn how
different authors have encapsulated the diversity of human life in the ancient
and medieval era, across two continents.
|
50:350:236

Medieval European Itineraries (3)
Explores travel as a foundational
activity for early European narratives. How are fictional and literary accounts
of the world enabled by the activity of travel? Why are quests, which often
take a protagonist to dangerous and distant realms, often synonymous with
character development? What is the
social usefulness of travel as an educational process? We will start off with
two ancient accounts of travel (one biblical, the other classical), and then
plunge headlong into an exploration of our own of the Middle Ages and its
conceptions of not just the physical world but also of the universe enabled by
moving, at least intellectually, through geographical space. Along the way we
will read Arthurian quest romances, tours of hell and heaven, dream-visions, as
well as the accounts of actual world travelers (such as Marco Polo).
|
50:350:242

|
50:350:301
Historifications (3)
Is there any difference
between documents that make up the historical record and works of fiction? Both
are examples of human discourse and subject to the same rules; they are
produced and edited, exalted and condemned, remembered or forgotten for the
same reasons. The course sets out to demonstrate an insight of Philip K. Dick:
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of
words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who
must use the words." We will be looking at both the controllers and the
controlled, the users and the used. Along with electronic handouts, the only
required texts are a daily newspaper and two short contemporary novels.
|
50:350:302
The War and the Warrior (3)
Dr. Johnson once remarked that every man secretly thinks the worse of himself if he
has not been a soldier. Erasmus argued to the contrary that war is criminal,
fomenting in humans a savagery worse than the beasts'. What is certain is that
organized war has been with us as long as the state itself, created together
around 3,500 BCE in ancient Sumer, and militarism, along with adulation of
warrior greatness, has been continuous. Despite the explicit pacifism of its
founder, Christianity has historically offered little resistance to celebration
of slaughter, beyond formulating the (arguably manipulable) principles of the
Just War, and the Bible itself offers contradictory perspectives. There have
been, however, large cultural variations in the definition of the warrior and
his virtues, just as the technology and techniques of waging war have been
transformed beyond recognition, and at many points aversion to war--in some
early Christian Fathers, some Renaissance Humanists, certain strains in
Romanticism, reactions to Vietnam--has challenged its institutional idealization. Mindful that we live
still in a world haunted by warfare, this course will track, meditate, and
debate the long cultural history of this toweringly important topic through
close readings of literary texts, surveying depictions from Homer to the
20th century.
|
50:350:303

Survey of Medieval British Literature, ca. 500-1485 (3)
The European Middle Ages was surprisingly diverse, filled with travelers and goods
from distant lands. Even a land at the edge of Europe like the British Isles
contained multitudes. This course looks at British medieval literature as a
crossroads of multiculturalism, including Latin, Greek, Irish, Welsh, Dutch,
French, English, and Scandinavian texts. We will also discuss the place of
continental European, African, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences on
the British Middle Ages. Expect to write two short papers plus some other minor

The Novel of Sensibility (3)
This course explores the major aesthetic development of the novel from the
late 18th through the early 19th centuries. Roughly
translated into contemporary terms, sensibility refers to a person's refined
sense of empathy and extreme sensitivity. Yet, this seemingly personal attribute
formed a site of intense philosophical and political controversy during the
Revolutionary period; "sensibility" was used to bolster everything from the drive for abolition to animal rights. At the same time, skeptics of
sensibility caricatured these novels from the very outset, making for a comic
counter-discourse, which we will examine with equal zest. The course will
include novels by Lawrence Sterne, Henry Mackenzie, and Jane Austen, among
others.
