FYS: Computers & English Studies

Anderson

TR

02:00-03:15

This course looks at ways in which students and scholars can use computers to enhance and extend the study of literature. It emphasizes lessons in how to read and write about literary works, offering strategies for interpreting fiction, poetry, drama, music, art, and film. Class activities will evolve around the question, How can computers and new media be used to teach the skills needed to read and about these many forms of literature?
Class activities will feature some lecture, more discussion, and lots of project-based work.

FYS: Radical American Writers: 1930-1960

Reinert

TR

02:00-03:15

In this course, we will read fiction, plays, and essays by American writers associated with the political left in the 1930's, and we will see how the political notions of leftists shifted during the Second World War and the McCarthy era. Authors will include such classics as Arthur Miller, Clifford Odets, Mary McCarthy, and Bernard Malamud, as well as lesser-known essayists and journalists like Anatole Broyard and Robert Warshow. Class sessions will be run as discussions; there will be several short papers and a final exam.

FYS: Courtly Love--Then & Now

Taylor, B

TR

03:30-04:45

How have ideas about courtship changed between the twelfth-century "Rules of Love" penned by Andrew the Chaplain and 1995's The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right? Just what was "courtly love"? And how has it influenced our own views of romance? Our readings will include literature which defined this influential concept, from The Art of Love by the Latin writer Ovid; to medieval Arthurian romances and troubador lyrics; to Renaissance sonnets and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. We'll trace the influence of these traditions in works by more recent writers such as Tennyson and Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and in contemporary films, cartoons, and advertisements. In the process we'll be exploring the history of Western thought about gender relations, and the political and economic implications of our ideas about beauty, sex, and love.

FYS: Interpreting the South from Manuscripts

Eble

TR

11:00-12:15

The Southern Historical Collection of UNC Libraries contains the raw materials of people's lives-their letters, diaries, business records, scrapbooks, photographs, and other primary sources which allow people of the present to interpret the past. Taking full advantage of these materials requires an understanding of the nature of manuscript collections and of how to access and use them knowledgeably and responsibly in the context of contemporary scholarship and methodologies. Students will learn about and work directly with manuscripts under the guidance of two faculty members, one who makes use of manuscripts in research and one a professional librarian whose expertise is in manuscript resources. The aim of the course is to give beginning university students the requisite research skills to allow them to appreciate and to contribute to an understanding of the past by directly experiencing and interpreting records from the past.

Lit & Cultural Diversity (Native Amer Lit)

O'Shaughnessey

MWF

01:00-01:50

NATIVE AMERICANS IN LITERATURE/NATIVE AMERICAN LITERATURE. This course is largely a study of perceptions and perspectives. It will examine first the well-documented European views of Native Americans presented in historical accounts and on artists' canvases, views which tell us as much about Europeans as they do about Natives. Then it will sample the explosion of perspectives presented by Native American novelists, poets, short story writers, and film makers whose voices, having been ignored for centuries, eloquently provide alternative views of themselves and of America. Because art is not produced in a vacuum, the course will also explore political, social, and cultural issues which have influenced each group's perception of the other.

Revision in lieu of final exam. The course is informal but stringent; students may be asked to write each class meeting. Vigorous class participation in workshop is expected. Required texts. This course (or English 130) serves as a prerequisite for other courses in the fiction sequence of the creative writing program (Engl 206, 406, 693H).

White

TR

11:00-12:15

FIRST YEAR STUDENTS ONLY. While the prime effort of the course will be the ten poems that each student will write and revise, we will also review closely the basic elements of poetry, such as imagery, figurative language, sound repetition, rhythm, with a mind to the potential of those elements in the student's own writing. In addition to these readings in the textbook, there will be assignments in texts on the reserve shelf, group reports on fellow students' poems, quizzes, and a mid-term exam. Each student will also keep a notebook of observations, impressions, quotations, isolated images that may give rise to poems, what have you. Most classes will begin with the reading of a contemporary poem, each student having an assigned day for that duty. For the most part, however, we will be writing poems and attempting to assess their strengths and weaknesses in open class discussion. Text: An Introduction to Poetry, ed.

Honors: Women's Lives

Danielewicz

TR

11:00-12:15

FIRST YEAR STUDENTS ONLY. Concentrating on the idea of the personal, this course will focus on stories of women's lives or the imaginative work of self-making through writing. In reading published essays (and in writing some of our own), we will investigate questions about self and identity as well as examine how experience, contexts, and characteristics (like gender or race) shape not only stories but persons themselves. The writing assignments, organized around four life-writing genres (autobiography, autoethnography, biography, and personal essay), will encourage students to experiment by writing these same forms. Given students' interests, writing projects may involve traditional literary criticism, autobiography, biography, or cultural history (using primary archival research and/or investigating individuals/communities outside the university). The course will be taught using a workshop approach that emphasizes writing as a process and fosters active reading and writing, and experiential and collaborative learning. Students will be organized into small working groups that will act as writing and discussion groups, creating smaller cohorts within the larger classroom community. Our class will culminate in the production of an on-line anthology of writing projects than can include visual and aural components. Published writers will visit as guest speakers. These may include Creative Writing professors and representatives from the Southern Oral History Project. Texts: (1) Possible autobiography or creative non-fiction include The Blue Jay's Dance by Louise Erdrich, The Liar's Club by Mary Karr, and Girl Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen; (2) a Course Pack including selections of personal essays and criticism including Joan Didion, Linda Brodkey, Sidonie Smith, and Joan Scott. (3) Books about writing such as Composing a Life by Donald Murray and The Fourth Genre by Robert Root and Michael Steinberg. (This course was developed with the aid of a Paul and Melba Brandes Course Development Award.)

ENGL 135H

Honors: Types of Lit

Davenport

MWF

11:00-11:50

FIRST YEAR STUDENTS ONLY. This course is designed to explore the concept of utopia in all of its vast narrative manifestations. The word utopia, which was christened by Sir Thomas More, literally means "no place," but the figurative and metaphorical sense of utopia has increasingly come to suggest a kind of heavenly place (or time) of goodness and harmony. In this class, we will try to juxtapose these notions of utopia by tracing their respective traditions in politics, literature, science fiction, fantasy, and romance. What was the tradition purpose of utopia and why do we still seem to crave its satisfactions? Can the power of utopian narratives effect actual social change, or are we drawn to utopia precisely because it offers an escape from reality? Texts will likely include: More's Utopia; Austen's Pride and Prejudice; selections from The New Testament; Steven Spielberg's Minority Report, Marx's Communist Manifesto, Huxley's Brave New World, and Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents.

09:30-10:45

FIRST YEAR STUDENTS ONLY. A study of some of the distinguishing features of drama and epic through the close reading of characteristic examples of each genre. We will pay special attention to the cultural uses to which these genres have been put. In particular, we will look at the ways drama and epic imagine differences in class, gender, age, and race and negotiate the conflicts that arise between those who command and those who follow. Topics will include: husbands and wives (Ibsen, A Doll House and Beckett, Happy Days); fathers and sons (O'Neill, Desire Under the Elms and Wilson, Fences); masters and servants (Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard); and God and man (Marlowe, Dr. Faustus and Kushner, Angels in America). We will further examine two of the great divides of theater-comedy vs. tragedy and naturalism vs. symbolism-and question whether any of these categories ever appears unalloyed with its opposite. We will also read Virgil, The Aeneid and Milton, Paradise Lost with careful attention to the way writers adapt the work of their predecessors even as they challenge and revise the methods and assumptions that drive that work. Because it is crucial to see and hear plays, not only read them, we will attend two live performances on campus during the term.

Film Analysis

Flaxman

MW

03:00-05:50

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the vocabulary and rhetoric of film analysis, from the most basic concepts of the cinema (shot, frame, montage) to more complicated ideas about space, time, action, genre, and narrative. In this sense, the aim of the class will be twofold: on the one hand, students will be asked to critically re-consider and re-evaluate the habitual ways we all watch and think about the movies; on the other hand, students will be asked to begin open themselves to cinematic techniques, ideas, and histories that they may not have encountered in the past.
Recitation sections meet twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

ENGL 143

001

Film and Culture

Oxman

TR

02:00-03:15

"Film and Culture" examines the ways in which culture and history shape and are shaped by motion pictures. This course uses comparative methods that groups related films according to contrasts, such as historic or contemporary, mainstream or cutting-edge, English- or foreign-language. The goal of this course is for students to extend more technical, analytical knowledge about films offered in other courses to specific cultural contexts and issues. As such, the course emphasizes discussion and a broad range of screenings, as opposed to canonical film studies topics and movies. The course attempts to pair each week a movie that is likely to be familiar with one that is less accessible. The purpose of this strategy is for students to broaden their perspectives on film by appreciating connections between the past and the present, between established ideas and reinterpretations of those ideas, and between films and filmmakers separated by time, geography, ideology, language, and fashion. By playing the familiar against the unfamiliar, students are asked to use what they already know as a foundation to learn more. More importantly, such oppositions encourage students to re-examine what is "familiar" and why.

ENGL 144

001

Popular Genres

Corrigan

MWF

11:00-11:50

This course will introduce students to the study of popular genres in fiction. Students will read works drawn from categories as diverse as mystery, romance, westerns, science fiction, fantasy, children's literature, and horror fiction, to name only a few. Articles about the form and cultural function of such genres will be read alongside the primary texts.

ENGL 146

001

Science Fict/Fantasy/Utopia

Curtain

MW

03:00-04:15

This course takes on the voluminous imaginative literatures that make claims to depict worlds not our own, times that never existed, and peoples and cultures outside of the real. An understanding of such fiction as allegory or political science (for example, More's Utopia, the sine qua non of such work, or Samuel Delany's Dhalgren), or a theory of such literature as scripting possible futures and necessary understandings of the past (such as Gibson's Neuromancer or Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon or Quicksilver) allow us to think about literature's function, value, and continued strength in our own lives, in the world of our making.

12:30-01:45

For centuries, artists have been performing and rewriting the plays of William Shakespeare. Of late the big screen has become a preeminent site for such adaptation. From low budget parodies like Billy Morrissette's campy 2002 comic portrayal of Macbeth, Scotland, PA, to more "faithful" productions like Branagh's BBC supported and Royal Shakespeare Company-cast Henry V, popular film audiences have embraced Shakespearean theater as their own. This course will engage that passion to the fullest, examining nine Shakespeare plays and their modern cinematic equivalents.
Students will be asked to attend several night viewings of the films, and at least one course period will be devoted to a discussion of film theory. Format: Lecture and discussion. Requirements: Two long papers (8-10 pages); weekly quzzes; final exam.

Shakespeare

Kendall

TR

08:00-09:15

A study of representative histories, comedies, tragedies, and romances. Our aim will be to develop strategies for close readings that pay attention to generic expectation, language, and the physical properties of the stage; at the same time, we will seek to read Shakespeare culturally, to recognize the ways these texts participate in their historical moment and in the debates over social ordering, gender, political authority, economic change, religious controversy, and encounters with foreign cultures and practices. We will praise Shakespeare without etherealizing him and explore his limitations without demeaning his achievement. Teaching methods: We will mix dialogue with soliloquy, meaning you will be encouraged to be garrulous and I will be discouraged from being too much so. Requirements: Frequent quizzes to keep you honest, a reading notebook to keep you thinking, two short papers to keep you writing, and a final examination to keep you guessing.

Lit of Early Renaiss

Wolfe

MWF

01:00-01:50

Knowledge, Doubt, and Belief in the Renaissance: from Religious Reformation to Scientific Revolution. Examining literary, religious, and philosophical works written between around 1515 and 1625, this course will focus on the intersections between religion and science, and between reason and faith, during the most intellectually vibrant and tumultuous years of the Renaissance. Beginning with the European Reformations of the earlier sixteenth century and ending with the Scientific "Revolutions" of the earlier seventeenth century, the course will study how poets, dramatists, and artists, essayists and theologians, and medical writers and other natural philosophers negotiate amongst competing knowledge claims as well as amongst the conflicting religious, philosophical, and scientific currents of their time.
Amongst the works studied in this course will be: Erasmus, Praise of Folly; Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion; Paracelsus and Vesalius, selected scientific writings; Spenser, Faerie Queene, bk. 1; Montaigne, selected Essays; Marlowe, The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus; Gabriel Harvey, "the Earthquake Letter"; Thomas Nashe, The Terrors of the Night; various works by Francis Bacon; poems and prose works by John Donne; Galileo, "Letter to the Grand Duchess Cristina" and 'A Letter on Sunspots"; one or more works by Thomas Browne, and either King Lear or Hamlet. We will also read selected articles and book excerpts by historians of science, literary critics, and other scholars working on religious and/or scientific culture during the Renaissance.
Written requirements for the course will include 2 essays, a midterm, and a comprehensive final examination. The essays will be developed out of required readings, but the second, longer essay will also require additional, independent reading on the part of each student, on a topic to be chosen by that student in consultation with the professor.

Lit & Race, Lit & Ethnicity (Mixed Race in America)

Ho

MWF

11:00-11:50

Mixed Race in America. The subject of race continues to be one of the most enduringly divisive and controversial subjects in the United States. And even at the turn into the 21st century, as a nation we have not developed an adequate and comfortable common ground or common language to discuss, honestly and openly, our concerns, mis-conceptions, questions, interests, and hopes in terms of race. As we approach 2050, the year in which it is projected that non-white people will reach 50% of the United States population, it is more important than ever to create safe but challenging spaces for people to talk about race, especially about mixed-race subjects. To that end, this honors course will attempt to create a safe but challenging classroom environment in which students will encounter academic texts to give them a theoretical, historical, and social knowledge on race in its many different permutations throughout the history of the U.S., particularly focusing on the era leading up to and following the Civil Rights movement. In addition to the academic texts (which will include selections from philosophy, anthropology, sociology, ethnic studies, American studies) we will be reading works of fiction, watching films, and looking at photographs, all as various modes of cultural production that reflect the way that Americans represent race in the U.S., especially the concept of racial hybridity and multiracial identities.

This course serves as an introduction to current themes and major texts in Irish writing from 1800 to 2000. An overview of the literature, in drama, poetry and prose, the course will ground Irish writing in the changing historical, social and political contexts of the period to give a sense of writers active in their culture. Irish writing will emerge as a postcolonial literature in English responsive to the pressures of emigration, revolution and reaction, in Europe and America, from the Famine to the Celtic Tiger.

Students will be introduced to the field of life writing, its history, forms, and purposes, by reading exemplars of different types, such as autobiography as well as biography. This literature will be supplemented by theoretical texts that explore why and how individuals engage in life writing, and could include explorations from particular angles, such as race, gender, or class. Finally, students will write critical analyses of one or more works as well as produce their own life writing in the form of an autobiography or autoethnography. Several times during the course of the semester, students will produce oral presentations.

Reading Children's Lit

Langbauer

MW

02:00-02:50

How do we define children's literature and what function does it serve? Why should we still care about it after we are adults? What ends have different historical periods tried to advance through their different understandings of what constitutes childhood? What do we mean by childhood now? In what ways does children's literature point to our basic assumptions about meaning, culture, self, society, gender, economics?
This course will construct an overview of the tradition of children's literature in order to consider such questions. We will read key texts from that tradition-some still highly visible in our culture; others that have seemed to vanish. The organizing idea of the course is that children's literature is a vital and important key to the things we hold most dear in culture. Unlocking its language gives us a way to read history and our own meaning within it.

We will read important novels of nineteenth-century Britain, including novels widely popular at the time. These are novels filled with monsters, freaks, and outsiders. Why? In pondering that, we will consider the form of the novel, nineteenth-century history and culture, as well as our own critical responses to the texts. How do our expectations govern how we read? How do our assumptions about what a novel should be reflect our sense of how the world should work? How do our own cultural interests determine our view of the nineteenth century?
