ENGL 006M.001 (First Year Seminar: Ethics and Children's Literature)
TR,11:00-12:15
Professor Laurie Langbauer
Children's literature cuts to the heart of the reasons people really read: children turn to books to make sense of themselves and their world. People turn to ethics when they come across central questions of existence and conduct they don't know how to answer. In this class, we will attempt to learn from children, to adopt an ethical stance toward reading from them: when I enter this book, who am I? What kind of life is possible in it? The rules of the imaginative worlds we visit compel us to face up to first questions: in stories in which the stones beneath our feet can talk, what do we mean by life? The magic that turns a baby into a pig insists that we ponder--not just "Who am I?" but--what we mean by a self at all. We won't come up with answers to particular ethical debates--we will look at the way that ethical problems are formed. How can children's stories help us negotiate the difficult questions of self and other in the struggle to be human?
Texts might include: Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island, The Jungle Books, A Christmas Carol, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Wind in the Willows, the Pooh books, Perrault's, Grimm's, and Andersen's Tales, Tolkien's The Hobbit, the Harry Potter books, Bruno Bettelheim, The Uses of Enchantment, Walter Benjamin, "The Story Teller," Roland Barthes, Mythologies, Paulo Freire, Pedogogy of Hope, Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents, Paul Hazard, Books, Children, and Men, Herbert Kohl, The Discipline of Hope, Karl Kroeber, Retelling/Rereading, Jacqueline Rose, The Case of Peter Pan.
Teaching Method: interaction, process, and creativity: discussion, question and answer, group work. Daily reading response journal. Weekly short papers (2 pp.), approximately twelve in all, on a variety of topics: positions papers on controversial questions, autobiographical meditations (for instance: "tell us a memory in which stories seemed magical to you"), or retelling classic tales. Final portfolio: 4 of the weekly papers and a longer (5-10 pp) independent project, worked out with the professor at midterm time.

ENGL 006M.003 (First Year Seminar: Courtly Love--Then and Now)
TR, 02:00-03:15
Professor Beverly Taylor
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.

ENGL 006M.004 (First Year Seminar: Computers and English Studies)

ENGL 022.002 (Literature and Cultural Diversity)
TR, 12:30-01:45
Elyse Crystall
This course brings together a series of social texts -- literary, filmic, critical, historical -- that respond to, comment upon, and struggle with social categories such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, nationality [among others] and their intersections in the context of contemporary US society. Exploring the ways in which these categories are structured by institutions and social relations and informed by cultural beliefs enables us to understand how we participate in and interact with these structures, how we are defined by them, how we create them, and how we can critique them.
We will take as our point of departure the notion of the contact zone, the site where all who come into contact are changed by the very contact they make. This rethinking and reframing of social relations imagines the relations of power between people and between people and institutions as mutually constitutive and situated. What this means is that we are shaped by our social location and social relations as we shape them. This perspective offers many possibilities for interventions in and the re-creation of daily life in order to fashion a world in which we want to live.
This is a discussion-based class. Students are responsible for frequent response papers, leading discussion, group presentations, and research on topics related to the course materials. There will be a midterm, a final, and a research paper/project. In addition, all students are required to attend and write about three public lectures during the semester. Responding to classmates thoughtfully and respectfully and being willing to challenge yourself round out the list of requirements. A sense of humor is recommended but not required.
We will be reading texts and viewing films such as: Julia Alvarez, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent; Nora Okja Keller, Comfort Woman; Jessica Hagedorn, Dogeaters; Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes; El Norte; and Lone Star, among others.

Designed to introduce students to the study of literature at the college level, this course is a reading intense exercise in "close reading." During the course of the semester, we will explore the development of our courntry's literature over the last century. With the aid of several seminal texts including both short stories and novels, we will examine how the conventions of fiction work to illuminate the text and create meaning for the author and reader alike. More specifically, we will attempt to show how these texts in turn define America as we see it, think it, and/or hope it to be. The format of the course will consist of occasional lectures to provide some literary/historical context and, of course, class discussion, during which time each of you will contribute to our ongoing literary investigation. Needless to say, you are expected to come to class ready to participate.

ENGL 027.001 (Studies in Literature: Films Genre--The Western)
TR, 11:00-12:15
Professor Gregg Flaxman
In the cliss we'll try to come to grips with one of the most definitely American genres, the western, by tracing its historical conditions, its literary antecedents, and even its foreign influences. In the process, we'll focus on such questions as: Why does the western emerge and what does it say about America and the American imagination? How do we go about defining the genre itself (according to its topos, its ethics, its production trends, etc.)? What does the western tell us about Hollywood and why was the genre so thoroughly appropriated by filmmakers? And finally, have we reached the point of the western's demise and, if so, why? Aside from a number of novels (such as The Viriginian, The Ox-Bow Incident, and Shane), we'll see at least one film per week. Films may include:
Porter's The Great Train Robbery
Ford's Stagecoach and The Searchers

This course introduces you to selected figures in nineteenth and twentieth century American literature. As we study the assigned text of each author, we will ask ourselves several important questions:
*How is this work an outgrowth of the cultural and geographic moment in which it was written?
*How did the readers of the time receive the work?
*What impact did the work have on society or on subsequent literature?
*How do we experience the work as we read it within the cultural context of the present?
Among the issues we will consider are race, gender, class, region, family, and community.
The format of the class will focus on small group and large group discussion, along with some lecture and group presentations.

ENGL 029W.001 (Honors: Introduction to Creative Writing (poetry))
TR 09:30-10:45
Professor Alan Shapiro
This course will explore the many pleasures and challenges of writing good poetry. Our focus will be the regular writing and revising of your original poems, and the in-class workshopping of some of those poems, but we will also spend plenty of time reading and discussing exemplary poetry from the past and present, mastering basic terms and forms and techniques, listening to poems read aloud, and doing whatever else will help us become better poets. We will work hard and have fun. Among the course requirements: several textbooks; a midterm exam and a final "term poem"; other written exercises; a memorization and recitation assignment; and (most important of all) up to ten original poems and multiple revisions. This introductory course serves as the prerequisite for later poetry-writing courses in the Creative Writing Program. FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS ONLY.

The goal of this course will be to equip the writer with a better understanding and approach to fundamental techniques of narrative non-fiction writing: character development, point-of-view, dialogue, language, narrative structure and organization, tone, focus. Issues of persona, facts, and subjectivity will be examined and explored in the students own writing. The student will be encouraged to develop her or his own pieces of writing in the most vivid and effective way, utilizing techniques and ideas advanced and used during the last few decades of the twentieth century by notable writers of narrative non-fiction. Initially the students will be asked to read, analyze and discuss a number of non-fiction pieces from authors such as Joseph Mitchell, James Baldwin, M.F.K. Fisher, John McPhee, Lillian Hellman, Truman Capote, Joan Didion, David Sedaris and others. The balance of the semester will be spent in workshop, developing three pieces of non-fiction, each being no fewer than 2500 words in length.

ENGL 045h.001 (The English Drama to 1642 (HONORS))
TR 11:00-12:15
Professor Ritchie Kendall
A meditation on the joys and sorrows of not being Shakespeare. Today, Shakespeare looms over the whole of the western canon of literature. His contemporaries who wrote for the stage now perform in his shadow, their work often read as a footnote or foil to the greatness of the bard. It was not always so. Coleridge thought Ben Jonson's The Alchemist one of the four most perfectly scripted works in western literature and Dryden regarded Jonson's Epicoene as the model English comedy. In his own age, Shakespeare was prominent but not omnipotent, held perhaps as no more than first among equals. Our job in this course is to recapture some sense of the remarkable range, inventiveness, and artistry of the dramatists of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Just as importantly, we will be working to understand how these writers engaged (often with more daring and originality than Shakespeare) with several of the central economic, social, political, and theological issues of their day, and in doing so, helped shape early modern English culture. Some of our authors will be Kyd, Marlowe, Dekker, Heywood, Tourneur, Middleton, Webster, Ford, and Shirley. We will look at both the famous and the obscure. Each student will choose one author and pursue his work beyond the one or two plays we tackle together. The class will also divide into work groups to study and present issues in social and intellectual history of the period. We will aim for lively and informed discussion and debate and emphasize independent research and presentation. It would be useful if you have already taken a course in Shakespeare, but I will not insist

ENGL 047w.001 (Stylistics:Writing the Young Adult Novel)
MW 03:30-04:45
Ruth Moose
What is a young adult novel or why is everybody reading and talking about the Harry Potter books? Does the age of the protagonist classify a book as young adult? If so what about Alice Sebolts The Lovely Bones? Classic literature is timeless and ageless. In this class well read, and examine theme as well as structure, The Lovely Bones, a current teen bestseller, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, as well as Holes, a recent Newberry winner made into a movie. Publishing YA writers will visit occasionally, however the main focus of the class will be centered on students own writing in a workshop or seminar setting in an atmosphere that will be both lively as well as encouraging. There will be written and oral critiques. Students will be expected to write and revise at least five chapters of a YA novel. Class limited to 10 students. Prerequisite: ENGL 23W, ENGL 39.

ENGL 049c.001 (Studies In Literary Topics: The Age of Alexander Pope)
MWF 01:00-01:50
Professor Tom Reinert
This course offers an in-depth study of Alexander Pope and the great writers of his generation: Jonathan Swift, Joseph Addison, Mary Wortley Montagu, Eliza Haywood, Daniel Defoe, and others. Focusing on poetry and prose of the 1710s and 1720s, we will see how major London authors quarreled with and supported, promoted and sabotaged one another as they struggled to come to terms with a range of dramatic social and political changes, including the development of popular culture, the expansion of the British empire into a world power, the attempted government insurrection of 1715, and the financial panic of 1720. This period marked an important step in literatures gradual estrangement from the centers of political power. In 1710 major authors were cultivating a suspicion of institutional authority. Their stylistic preferences followed suit: authors began the period favoring witty, glamorous writing, and ended it with a taste for introspection and powerful feeling. The course will examine these developments partly through historical readings, partly through biography, and primarily through close reading of major literary works.
Writing assignments will include one middle-length and two short papers, and there will be a final exam.

ENGL 049c.002 (Studies In Literary Topics: Travel Literature)
MWF 10:00-10:50
Professor Jeanne Moskal
Willa Cather wrote that there are only two or three human stories that go on fiercely repeating themselves. In this course we examine some influential British, North American, and Continental literature of one of those repeating human stories: the journey. The course has three units: an introduction to the methodology and pertinent questions to ask of travel literature, a survey of the sub-genres within travel literature (the voyage, the interior exploration, the tour, the pilgrimage, the mission), and a focused analysis of one of those sub-genres, the tour. A recurring theme in the course is the State of North Carolina as a destination for travelers, marked by the writings of naturalist William Bartram, of Catholic missionary Fr. Thomas Price, and of short-term tourist V.S. Naipaul.
Our mutual goals in this course are: 1) to understand how travel and travel writing can engage received notions of gender, sexuality, religion, and national identity; 2) to raise questions about the role travel literature has played in war, colonization, and international commerce; 3) to learn the literary conventions that organize various kinds of travel literature by analyzing and imitating the classic authors 4) to measure the impact of travel literature on novels, poetry, drama, opera, and film. Teaching methods: Lecture, discussion Assignments: 20%: Weekly papers, one page long, responding to the readings; 20%: Five-page paper: one page written in imitation of the style of an assigned writer, four pages describing your authorial choices. 20%: Five-page paper: an account of your own travels 20%: Five-page paper: analysis of an issue in assigned travel writing 20%: Final examination

ENGL 049E.002 (Studies In Literary Topics: James Joyce's Ulysses)
TR 02:00-03:15
Professor Weldon Thornton
The course will be devoted to a close reading and analysis of Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses. Our main focus will be on the themes of the novel and the aesthetic and philosophical raised by those themes, as well as on the techniques and styles through which the novel's themes are realized. Class meetings will be organized around successive episodes of the novel.
PREREADING: Students should have read Joyce's Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before the course begins. (We will glance at these two works during the first week of class.)
ASSIGNMMENTS: There will be several short papers or "projects," involving, for example, tracing certain motifs or characters through the novel, or addressing specific cruxes or puzzles within the text; there will be a term paper of 2500-3000 words on a topic of your choosing; and there will be a Reading Notebook of your responses/reflections on each of the eighteen episodes of the novel.
TEXTS: James Joyce, Ulysses (Random House, Vintage paperback--the Gabler edition)
(You should also have copies of Dubliners and of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. For both of these, the best editions are the Viking Critical editions.)

ENGL 049E.003 (Studies In Literary Topics: The Irish Literary Revival)
TR 09:30-10:45
Professor Nicholas Allen
This course will examine the roots, development and expression of the Irish Literary Revival from 1890 to 1930. Drawing from key texts, primary sources and critical works, we will investigate the Revival's social and political parameters in context of Ireland's parallel transformation from colony to independence. Positioning established writers, such as William Butler Yeats and James Joyce, in a newly fluid intellectual movement, we will uncover the depth of writing across society in the period to gain new perspective on this major European moment.

ENGL 049J.001 (Jewish-American Literature and Culture of the 20th Century)
MWF 01:00-01:50
Professor Erin Carlston
This course will examine some of the major factors and influences that shaped Jewish American literature and culture in the twentieth century. We will focus in particular on questions about Jewish identity: what is Jewishnessa faith, a race, a nation? How have patterns of immigration shaped Jewish experience in the United States? What does it mean to be an American Jew, and how has that been affected by the Shoah and the establishment of the State of Israel? We will also examine the ways that ethnic identity intersects with gender, class, and sexuality. In addition to the major assigned texts, there will also be one or two required video screenings. Writing assignments will include several short essays, and a midterm and final examination compiled by the students. Students should anticipate a heavy reading load. No pre-requisites.

ENGL 054.001 (Sixteenth-Century English Literature)
TR 12:30-01:45
Jessica Wolfe
This course is a survey of English Literature from Thomas More to John Donne with attention to the historical, religious, political, and intellectual context of sixteenth-century poetry, prose, and drama. We will study literary responses to the Reformation (Erasmus, More, Calvin, Foxe), the development of Tudor lyric from Wyatt to Donne; the exigencies of court culture (Castiglione), the rise of skepticism and scientific method (Montaigne, Nashe, and Francis Bacon), and poetic theory and practice in the epic and lyric poetry of the two great Elizabethans, Sidney and Spenser. In lectures and in critical readings, students will also learn about some of the major philosophical, political, and religious developments of the period, as well as developments in the visual arts in England and on the continent. Students will write a research paper at the end of the term on a topic of their own choosing, including (but not limited to) scientific, artistic, political, and religious developments and debates of the sixteenth century. English 20 is very helpful but is not a prerequisite for this course. Requirements: One 6-8 page essay; one 10-12 page research paper, midterm and comprehensive final examination. Teaching Method: The class will be a combination of lecture and intelligent, lively, directed discussion.

ENGL 058.001 (Shakespeare)
TR 09:30-10:45
Professor Darryl Gless
Our mutual goals in Engl 58 are to learn as much as we can about Shakespeare and his times, about the enduring effects literature exerts upon our individual and shared histories, and about the techniques of literary interpretation in general. More specifically, this course aims to develop reading strategies and to present historical information that will allow students to undertake independent interpretations of Shakespeare's plays. Accordingly, we will study anywhere from 10 to 12 plays, giving persistent attention to the intellectual, social, and political contexts in which the plays were written and first produced. Through the use of video-tapes, we will also study some of the ways in which specifically dramatic aspects of the plays - directorial decisions, visual effects, etc. - condition our responses to Shakespeare's printed texts.
We will work through various implications of the theory that readers themselves supply part of what they find in literary texts. Because reading involves complex acts of selection, projection, and connection, students will be expected to participate actively in discussions. "Participation" will mean readiness, on our Web Forum and in class meetings, (1) to describe one's own reactions to Shakespeare's texts, (2) to notice and develop changes in those responses, changes which result from hearing the interpretations of others; from successive re-readings of the text; and from witnessing stage or film performances, and (3) to seek to understand contrasting interpretations proposed by fellow students as well as the professor. This multifaceted participation will count for roughly 20% of each student's course grade; regularity, reflectiveness, evidence of rigorous reading, and constructive engagement with fellow students will be its measures of quality. I expect to include the following plays in our work, but I am open to making changes if a number of students express an interest in working on other plays: Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Henry IV, part i; Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, The Tempest.
Exams, papers, and quizzes: There will be a midterm, two papers (6-8 pages; 10-12 pages), and a comprehensive, three-hour final.

ENGL 064.001 (Milton)
MWF 11:00-11:50
Professor Megan Matchinske
John Milton was a religious dissident, a political theorist, and a poet. He wrote at a time in English history when concepts of government and authority were in the process of active and militant critique, when religious, domestic and civil spheres were being reimagined and reformulated. We will study Milton's writings within this highly charged political environment, as political theory, as religious dissension, as social history, and as poetry. Students will be asked to consider Milton's poetry and prose accounts culturally, in terms of the material circumstances of their writing. Teaching methods: Classtime will be spent in lecture and group discussion of pertinent texts. Requirements: Weekly writing assignments; two papers (8-10 pages); final exam. Texts: Hughes Merritt, ed. John Milton: Complete Poems and Major Prose. New York: MacMillan, 1957.

ENGL 081.001 (American Literature from 1865 to 1930)
MWF 01:00-01:50
Professor Jane Thrailkill
This course will survey American fiction and poetry from after the Civil War through the last years of the Harlem Renaissance. We will pay close attention to the way that writers of this period linked poetic and narrative entrapment--the feeling of being limited by old literary forms--to social, moral, and spiritual constriction--the experience of being restricted and even damaged by outdated social rules and mores. With this organizing framework, we will investigate how writers imagined literary experimentation as having liberating, "real world" effects (such as restructuring sex/gender roles and reconceiving racial identity) and evaluate the successes and failures of this project. In addition to familiarizing students with these themes and materials, course assignments will also improve skills in critical reading, analytical discussion, and argumentative writing. Requirements: brief bi-weekly papers, two longer essays (5-7 pages), formal presentation, final exam. Students must keep pace with a hefty amount of reading. Class format: lecture and discussion.

ENGL 083.001 (The American Novel)
TR 09:30-10:45
Professor Maria DeGuzman
Parallelogram: a quadrilateral configuration having both pairs of opposite sides parallel to each other, but dependent for its shape on the force-field between 4 points in which a change in the positioning of one point implies a change in the rest. This course looks at U.S. novels, from the late eighteenth-century to the present, focused on the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of four interlocking characters (despite the peripheral appearance of other characters). What I call the "parallelogrammatic" formulation of these novels distinguishes them from more straighforwardly memoir-like or autobiographical novels generally revolving around a single consciousness encountering a world; the adultery or divided-loyalty novels constituted upon one or more infernal triangles; and family sagas, chronicles, or adventure novels of proliferating characters presented serially. The novel of four may partake of these other forms (strict divisions seldom exist) but its structure speaks to a concern that goes beyond a question of the production of individuality or the making or undoing of the couple or company. If three signals company, as the saying goes, then the novel of four quite literally "plots" a concern with the algebraic geometry of a social order and queries the assumed axioms of community. Course requirements will include a few 1-2 page written responses, an oral presentation, one 8-page essay, and an 8-10 page essay. Class meetings will involve a mixture of lecture and discussion.

ENGL 084.001 (African American Literature to 1950)
TR 02:00-03:15
Professor Mae Henderson
Focusing on the critical essay, autobiography, and prose fiction, this course aims to introduce students to the issues of form, genre, and intertextuality as they define a tradition (rather than a survey) of African American literature and criticism before 1950. Of particular concern will be the ways in which selected texts appropriate and revise earlier texts within the tradition while, at the same time, clearing a "fresh space" for their own articulation. We will also locate these works within their contexts of reception and production, examining their historical and cultural significance, especially as they engage and challenge the dominant cultural narratives. Our course objective is to develop skills in close reading, cultural criticism, and, in general, an enjoyment in the pleasures of the texts.

We will examine the origins of southern literature, consider such writers as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass and Kate Chopin in the nineteenth century, and such writers as William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, and Ralph Ellison in the twentieth. The course will attempt to be not only a study of southern literature (concentrating on fiction) but also southern intellectual history--a study not only of selected texts but also of the "southern mind," which is to say, many southern minds. Teaching methods: Lecture and discussion (students should be prepared to discuss). Requirements: Two exams during the term; a final examination; one long (approximately 12 pp.) paper; reading quizzes; one oral report.

ENGL 090C.001 (Literature, Race, & Ethnicity)
TR 12:30-01:45
Professor Maria DeGuzman
Southwest as Contact Zone: Reading "Chicana/o" and "Native American" in Relation. The Southwest: Southern California, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, perhaps Louisiana to the extent that half of it lies west of the proverbial "frontier" dividing line of the Mississippi River, and the interior provinces of New Spain and later the northern provinces of Mexico which prior to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo extended into present-day Utah. The US Southwest/Northern Mexico borderzone was "home" to and "contact zone" of the following Native American nations, among others: the Natchez, the Comanche, the Apache, the Pueblo, the Navajo, the Hopi, the Mohave, the Papago, the Tarahumara, the Chumash, the Cochimi, etc. Additionally, the Southwest (as both the US and northern Mexico) is populated by millions of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans many of whom, particularly as politicized Chicanas/os, claim Aztec "heritage" both as a genealogical and a cultural concept. The Aztecs were concentrated in the central Valley of Mexico (quite far south of the US/Mexico borderlands). However, their imperial dominion extended up into the northern deserts of Mexico now the southwestern United States. Although it is the Aztec civilization that has been emphasized in much Chicana/o literature claiming indigenous "heritage," other native cultures are claimed as well, among them, many of those cited above. Hence, for example, a recent academic conference "All Women of Red Nations: Weaving Connections" includes writers who identify as "Chicana" as well as artists and scholars whose primary identifications are as "Native American" and yet have Spanish names. Reading a diverse set of works by writers of the Southwest we will explore connections between what have often been treated as distinct literatures--Chicana/o and Native American. These connections may be made by the writers themselves in their invocation of shared space, motifs, and kinship. Commonality may also take the form of shared struggle for socio-economic justice and representation (both specifically legal and more broadly cultural) against the ways in which "red" and "brown" people are managed by the US government, stereotyped, and compelled to cohabit in regions of increasingly scarce resources as a result of legacies of occupation. Sometimes connections appear as their seeming opposite, deliberate rejection and boundary-drawing and we will inquire into the causes and effects of these kinds of territorialities. Writers include, but are not limited to Paula Gunn Allen, Leslie Marmon Silko, Joy Harjo, Ines Talamantez, Kathleen Alcala, Rudolfo Acua, Gloria Anzald a, Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Alfredo Vea, and Graciela Limn. Course format is mini-lectures/much discussion. Assignments involve 4 1-2-page written responses to the readings, an oral presentation & active class participation, and two essays (one 8 pages and the second 10-12 pages). Assignments and grade distribution: 1. 4 1-2-page responses on different works that we read), 25% 2. Class participation and one 20-minute presentation (on the course readings), 15% 3. One short essay, 8 pages, 25% 4. A second longer seminar essay, approx. 10-12 pages, 35%.

ENGL 090C.002 (Literature, Race, & Ethnicity)
MW 02:00-03:15
Jennifer Ho
This course will provide an introduction to contemporary Asian American literature and theory. Through novels, films, and critical essays, we will explore the richness of this burgeoning field and examine how Asian American literature fits into, yet extends beyond, the canon of American literature. With the 1989 publication of Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club, Asian American literature has flourished at an exponential rate. And even before Tan's wildly successful publishing phenomenon, in the mid 1970s, Maxine Hong Kingstons and Frank Chin pioneered the wave of current Asian American literature. Asian American writers have won the Pulitzer Prize, been featured in an anthology of the best writing of the century, and enjoy an unprecedented popularity among readers in the U.S. and abroad. Texts/films under consideration include Woman Warrior, Donald Duk, Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers, My Year of Meats, Interpreter of Maladies, History and Memory, and Chan Is Missing.
