The Doubled Image: Photography in U.S. Latina/o Short Fiction. For students interested in both visual and written are forms and in ethnic studies an, in particular, short stories, photography, and Latina/o literature, this is the course for you? This seminar will focus intensively on short fiction by U.S-born Latina/o writers. We will examine nine short stories that hinge on the theme or device of the photograph, and we will embark on an exploration of how and why Latina/o writers are drawn to this device in the context of an Anglo-U.S. culture that historically has tended to both "disappear" and "hypervisualize" Latinos. This course is designed to engage literature, cultural studies, communication studies, and are concentrators and will be conducted as a seminar with plenty of lively discussion.

Projections of Empire: Colonial and Postcolonial Fiction and Film. The course examines depictions of empire in twentieth-century fiction and film - specifically, issues of power, identity, and themes raised by British colonialism - which it reconsiders in the frame of the postcolonial. It also explores a part of this project the cultural implications of transforming novel into film. Beginning with "The Man Who Would Be King," we will investigate modernist portrayals of empire in A Passage to India, Mrs. Dalloway, and Heart of Darkness. Using the latter as a historical lens, we will approach the postcolonial through Pascali's Island, The English Patient, The Commitments, and Trainspotting. Like Heart, The Remains of the Day will act as a prism, focusing imperialism and its aftermath as deeply influencing our world today.

"The War to End All Wars"--Why the First World War Didn't and How It Affected The Modern World. As Europe plunged into war in the summer of 1914, young men rushed to enlist "like swimmers into cleaness lapping," in the words of Rupert Brooke, who was to die in the Gallipoli campaign the next spring. And after four years of appalling and mostly futile slaughter, the idea that it was "glorious to die for one's country" was denounced by another doomed poet, Wilfred Owen, as "the old lie." Along with millions of military and civilian lives lost or ruined, dynasties were overthrown, economies bankrupted, moral and social codes undermined. The peace treaty of Versailles satisfied neither the victors nor the vanquished and thus helped pave the way for World War II.
We will examine British, French, German, Russian, Canadian, Australian, and American works of literature and films that bear on the subject. There will be several two-page papers, oral presentations from groups, mid-term and final exams.

TR, 11:00-12:15
The Gothic: Mad Monks, Monsters, and Vampires (Instructor: Amy Weldon). We'll learn how fiction creates its effects on us by tracing, across two centuries and two continents, the permutations of a genre that is all about effect - the Gothic. In the Gothic world, houses are old and creepy, skies are dark and stormy, and danger is always lurking, especially for innocent young women. Yet what makes the Gothic so interesting - and so enduring - is its complex layering of concerns about gender and sexuality, race, national identity, and religion, to name just a few. What's scariest about the Gothic is not the host of mad monks, monsters, and vampires that populate its outer darkness but the way it uncannily pinpoints our secrets, obsessions, and fears - as individuals and as cultures.
We'll read three novels - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Toni Morrison's Beloved - and short stories and novel excerpts by Lord Byron, John Polidori, Matthew Lewis, Charlotte Dacre, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Sheridan LeFanu, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and Truman Capote. Rounding out the course will be Alfred Hitchcock's American Gothic film "Psycho." Students will complete two critical papers and one paper that is either a revision of an earlier critical paper or an original short story. There will be no midterm, but there will be a final exam.

This class is a bit different from a standard major American author class in that we will focus on American literary texts whose primary focus is the relationship between African American and white communities through the late 19th and into the early 21st century. Starting with selections from Twain, Poe and Melville, we will follow the journey of African American as literary object or cultural construction to individualized literary voice. Well be interested in understanding not only African Americans relationship to white constructions but also how they construct themselves in their own texts. Along the way, well make intertextual connections among the selections we read, and try to formulate some kind of definition of the movement African Americans have made as both writer and subject to be written on in roughly a century of American literature.

Projecting Ireland. This course examines the relationship between literary and cinematic versions of Ireland, exploring how written and visual texts consider evolving images of individual and society throughout the twentieth century.

We will read different locations and situations to discover how each form, of film and literature, negotiates the difficulties of representation in a decolonizing society, including reference to photography and painting. Literature and film will include Sam Hanna Bell, December Bride; Thaddeus O'Sullivan (dir), December Bride; Liam O'Flaherty, The Informer; John Huston (dir), The Informer; James Joyce, The Dead; John Huston (dir), The Dead; John B.

We will be especially concerned with the questions of how the potentially deterministic forces acting upon us have been understood at different periods in Western history, and of whether we today are subject to such forces. Texts include The Iliad, The Aeneid, parts of the Bible, Paradise Lost, The Rape of the Lock, Aristotle's Poetics, and dramas by Sophocles, Aeschylus, Eugene O'Neill, and W.B. Yeats.

ENGL 029W, section 001 (Honors: Introduction to Creative Writing)
Professor James Seay
TR, 11:00-12:15
Honors: Introduction to Creative Writing (Poetry). 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. Kennedy & Gioia, 10th edition.

ENGL 049C, section 001 (Studies In Literary Topics)
Professor Thomas Reinert
MWF, 11:00-11:50
The Sentimental, Gothic, and Sublime. From the mid-18th century through the early 19th century, many British writers were fascinated with the psychology of emotional extremity, and their fascination took shape in three major literary modes that we will study in this course. The three modes--the sentimental, gothic, and sublime--depict the internal drama of characters isolated by a hostile world. We will begin with mid-century works of sentimental poetry and fiction. These works dramatize the poignant condition of the poor and outcast and explore the consolation that such figures find in the inner world of the imagination. Next, we will read three seminal gothic novels of the late 18th century. These are novels of terror and suspense. They depict a world of evil monks, dungeons, and torture chambers, a world in which fantasy and reality become inextricably intertwined. Lastly, we will read works in the mode of the sublime, works which test the limits of the imagination and its power to transcend fearsome and overwhelming circumstances. Authors in this course will include: Thomas Gray, William Collins, Laurence Sterne, Oliver Goldsmith, Henry Mackenzie, Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis, Edmund Burke, James Thomson, William Cowper, and William Wordsworth. Texts will include six short novels and a xerox packet. Assignments will include three short papers and a final exam.

ENGL 049E, section 001 (Studies In Literary Topics (Modernisms's Spaces))
Professor Erin Carlston
MWF, 01:00-01:50
"Modernism's Spaces" will investigate the influence of the city on modernist culture and literary production. Many modernist writers insisted that the spaces where they lived were crucial to their identities as artists, because of both the communities of artists they encountered there and the experience of the metropolis itself. How is the metropolis negotiated in fiction, art, photography, and film? In what ways does the city influence modernist artistic techniques? How does the experience of exile function as part of modernism? We will use our investigation of the spaces of modernism not to limit our understanding of the texts to the experience of the city, but instead to posit new understandings of modernism based on the context of the metropolis and urban culture. Our investigation will include three units: The War Metropolis, Exile and Creativity, and Modernist Machines: Technology and the City.

ENGL 049H, section 001 (Studies in Literary Topics (HONORS))
Professor Gregory Flaxman
TR, 11:00-12:15
This class will be devoted to the related concepts of secrecy and conspiracy. How can we tell the story of something that ought, by rights, not to be told? What are the forces that bring the imagination of clandestine, overarching organizations to bear in the world? In order to answer these and other questions, we'll draw upon literature, film, sociology, critical theory, and philosophy to consider the history of these concepts and their evolving narratives. Materials will include: Clarice Lispector's Family Ties and Don Delillo's The Names; stories by Edgar Allen Poe and Margueritte Duras; essays by Sigmund Freud, Walter Benjamin, Georg Simmel, and Hannah Arendt; selections from Georg Lukacs' Theory of the Novel and Linda Hutcheon's The Poetics of Postmodernism; and screenings of Sidney Pollack's Three Days of the Condor and Darren Aronofsky's Pi.

ENGL 063, section 001 (The Literary Aspects of the Bible)
Professor Weldon Thornton
TR, 11:00-12:15
In this course we will study the Bible as one of the great literary works of our tradition. We will consistently ask questions about the meanings of the events and the characters of the work, and about how various literary devices and techniques distinctively embody those meanings. In pursuing these questions, we will plot a course between the Scylla of fundamentalist literalism and the Charybdis of historicist secularism, refusing to be content merely with orthodox or historical answers to these literary questions about themes and techniques.
Among the issues that we will explore are Jehovah's evolving relationship with his human creatures; how the Jews understand their being the "chosen people" and why they fail at it so persistently; how and why the disciples misunderstand Jesus; the strengths and weaknesses of Paul as a vehicle of the early church; and the pervasive, complex theme of tradition and innovation. Techniques that we shall attend to include the use of multiple perspectives or competing voices or in presenting some event or person (e.g., the account of Creation, King David, Jesus); and the use of reiterated motifs or situations to invite juxtaposition of scenes and stories throughout the work (e.g., a person's refusing God's call; Babel/Pentecost). Familiarity with the epics of Homer and Virgil, with Joyce's Ulysses, and with Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and Absalom, Absalom!, will facilitate continuous thematic and technical bases of comparison.

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

ENGL 091, section 001 (British Novel from 1870 to WW II)

In addition to required novels, supplemental critical articles may be assigned where appropriate. Teaching methods: Some lecture; strong emphasis on class discussion, with each student responsible for kicking off and moderating one discussion, probably together with one or two other students. Class requirements: frequent short writing exercises, preparation of materials for a discussion, development of an essay/project based on those materials, midterm exam, and a final examination.

Professor Joseph Viscomi
T, 03:30-06:00
This interdisciplinary course examines the technical and aesthetic revolutions in the fine arts of the English Romantic Period. It will discuss the productions, experiments, and aesthetic theories of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Constable, Turner, Reynolds, and Blake, focussing on the developments of lyrical poetry, landscape painting, and original printmaking. We will pay special attention to the period's primary aesthetic and cultural issues, including the phenomenon of the picturesque and new ideas about nature, the democratization of the arts and social role of the artist, the concepts of genius, originality, and spontaneity, and the problem of representation. In addition to slide lectures and discussions on specific painters and their techniques, there will be studio exercises in printmaking and drawing according to 18th-century techniques and formulae. Knowledge of printmaking and painting is not required. Requirements: two take-home exams, one essay, studio exercise, and final exam.
Texts: Course packet of essays, poems, prints, and 18th-century treatises on art. A limited amount of art supplies.

ENGL 136, section 001 (Modern English)
Profess Connie Eble
MR, 05:15-06:30
A survey of the word-building and sentence structure systems of current standard American English from the perspective of traditional and structural grammar. Attention is given to issues of correct usage and to the educational and cultural beliefs that underlie the concept of standard written English. Little attention is given to current theories that have slender relevance to language use. The course seeks to provide a solid foundation in language structure for teachers of English language and composition. Exams & Papers: All students must develop a research project on a topic related to the English language and present their results in an oral report of about ten minutes and in a paper of 15-20 pages. Mastery of the subject matter of the course is judged by two written tests and a final examination. The final examination is open-book. Text: The main text for the course is Martha Kolln and Robert Funk, Understanding English Grammar, 6th ed., 2002. Readings will also be assigned from David Crystal, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, 1995, which is widely available in paperback and in the reference divisions of most libraries. Course Pack: It is likely that standard handouts for the course will be available only in a course pack from Student Stores. Comments: Attendance at every class is expected. The grade Incomplete is not given.

ENGL 140, section 001 (Intro to Literary Theory)
Professor Gregory Flaxman
M, 06:00-08:30
This class will offer an introduction to what is called theory by considering the problematic of truth and lying. Taking our point of departure from the Plato's vast defense of reason and morality, which we can be seen in light of threat of sophistry, we will roughly trace the overt history of philosophical truth and the unacknowledged tradition of lying. Why is lying demonized by philosophers and others, and what are the powers specific to lying (or what Nietzsche called "the powers of the false")? What is the status of the perpetually fictive enterpreise of aesthetics in philsophy and theory? Is it possible to affirm fabulation without lapsing into empty relativism? Readings for the class will include: Plato's Republic and other dialogues; Kant's Metaphysics of Morals; selections from Hegel's Philosophy of Right; Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals and other selections; Melville's The Confidence Man; Austen's How to Do Things with Words; Deleuze's Nietzsche and other selections; Kierkegaard's The Seducer's Diary; James M. Cain's Double Indemnity; selected short stories by Jorge-Luis Borges. Undergraduates wishing to enroll in this course must get permission from the instructor.
