Spring 2023 Course Details: LatinX Literature & Culture

In this course students will explore the field of Latinx literature and culture in order to develop the ability to speak and think critically about race relations in the USA. Course readings, video, podcasts, &/or social media will be drawn from texts produced primarily in English by individuals of Latin American descent often with words, phrases, and/or paragraphs in Spanish. Our work will highlight the topic of Latinx immigration and past and present testimonios, a Latinx literary genre that we will compare to memoir, journalism, spoken word and other genres and modes of expression. Self expression through Native American and Black readings, video, podcasts, &/or social media will constitute points of comparison and contrast. The materials covered may ask us to consider the intersectionality of race with gender, sexual orientation, economic class and religion. Over the semester we will discuss how methodology and phenomena like third wave feminism, queer theory, and migration resist entrenched power structures and discourse.

In Spring 2023 this course satisfies the Race Requirement for English Department majors.

In Spring 2023 this course satisfies a Post-1800 Literature requirement for English Department majors.

Additional Course Details:

Shakespeare, so the old saw goes, wrote for the stage, not the page. Accordingly this introductory class will introduce you to a selection of Shakespeare's plays viewed as scripts for theatrical performance, from the perspective of both stage conventions in Shakespeare's own day and the performance techniques of our own time. We will learn by thinking about how we might turn the texts into viable stage performances. Along the way we'll have occasion to discuss Shakespeare's abiding interest in gender roles and sexuality, the treatment of outsiders and social stigma, the conduct and complexity of political power, quandaries of ethics and religion, and the nature of theater and playing themselves. Plays for the class may include The Taming of the Shrew, I Henry IV, Henry V, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado about Nothing, Julius Caesar, King Lear, and The Winter's Tale. This course is especially ideal for theater majors or minors, or English teaching majors, though all who are interested in Shakespeare and the theater are welcome. Requirements include reading quizzes, lots of group work, two essays, a performance project, and a final exam.

In Spring 2023 this course satisfies a Pre-1800 Literature requirement for English Department majors.

This course is required for all English Teaching majors.

Additional Course Details:

This course examines literature written by women in English spanning from the nineteenth century to present day. We will explore women's literature from various genres, including short stories, fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, poetry, and drama. We will examine the similarities and differences across women's writing, as they engage with issues of social justice, sexuality, gender, race, and class. You will employ close reading and literary analysis skills to survey women's literature from within a variety of historical, social, and cultural contexts. Together, we will consider the following questions: how do we define women's literature?, what are women's contributions to dominant and countercultural literary traditions?, what is the history and evolution of women's own literary tradition?, and what does the future hold for women's literature?

Spring 2023 Special Topic: Digital Literature

As literature and literary analysis move into the digital age, we look to apply traditional literary components and analysis, as well as expand and shift these to fit multiple genres of electronic literature and other multimodal texts. This course will bring together theory, analysis, and production through the in-depth study of multimodal literacies, digital rhetoric, and electronic literature. Students will gain an understanding of multimodal affordances, media theory, and the analysis of digital works, including immersive and embodied narrative spaces, such as installation art and augmented and virtual realities. The course will center around the medium as message, and how “digital born” texts rely on multimodal affordances to convey their meaning; students will discuss and consider how and why author/composers utilize multiple modes, informing their own media choices. This course includes a course blog for responses to the texts we are reading and will provide hands-on exploration of various digital platforms each week, leading to students choosing the medium for their final digital project.
