  • ENG 100/121 - Violence and Nonviolence (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Not Offered 2017-2018

    We only have to look around us to see that our world is defined in a fundamental way by violence. Writers and thinkers from various historical moments have both recognized the problem of violence in society and have offered critiques of it. Our study this term will be guided by the following question: what perspective does literature provide on the issues of violence and nonviolence in the world? We will encounter novelists, poets, playwrights, and essayists whose work contains original, thought-provoking, and moving representations of and reflections on violence and nonviolence. We will pose a number of additional questions of our readings: how do these texts represent the causes and consequences of violence? How do the texts convey the relationships among different types of violence - interpersonal, political, psychological, and socioeconomic? Is nonviolence a viable ethical position in these texts? How is nonviolence defined, and what, if any, are the impediments to lessening the violence of the world? Lastly, what might the role of literature, and art more generally, be in our imagining of nonviolence?

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017 & Spring 2018

    This course presents an introduction to the study and appreciation of literature. Our thematic focus is the representation of human bodies in the works of poets, dramatists, novelists, and essayists at various significant moments in western cultural history. As we read some famous and influential literary texts alongside less familiar works, we will become acquainted with key concepts and methodologies employed in literary studies. We follow, more or less, a historical track and begin the semester with Ovid’s Metamorphoses, which set the standard for literary representations of the body, before turning to one of Shakespeare’s more obscure works, Titus Andronicus, a bloody revenge drama, Miss Evers’ Boys, a play about the infamous Tuskegee experiment, and finally Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, a tale about a man who wakes one morning to find that he has turned into an insect. Midway through the course we will also read poetry by physicians and other health care workers. We examine films that deal with questions about human embodiment, but most of our time is devoted to the close reading of texts, to formulating arguments about literature, and to exploring methods of interpretation.

  • ENG 100/124 - On the Road: Encounters with the “Other” (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Not Offered 2017-2018

    In this course we will ask how authors from Homer to Kerouac write about journeying and encounters with “other” people, places, ideas, values, and modes of conduct. The texts we read come from disparate historical periods and from a variety of cultural contexts. As we investigate their formal and stylistic elements and their possible meanings, we will become acquainted with different literary modes, from poetry, to drama, to prose. Although the overarching theme of the course is the journey and the encounter with “otherness,” the individual texts we read present very different engagements with the subject. The journeys about which we read may be mythic, factual, intellectual, spiritual, and/or artistic; they may constitute a rite of passage or initiation; they may be brief or interminable, alienating or rewarding; they may end tragically or lead to new understanding. The course emphasizes close reading and open questioning of cultural meaning. And these are some of the works you will encounter this semester: Homer’s Odyssey; selections from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales; Shakespeare’s Tempest; Goethe’s Faust; and Kerouac’s On the Road.

  • ENG 100/125 - The Imaginary Primitive (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Not Offered 2017-2018

    Our seminar will focus on how the modern idea of Western “civilization” took shape in response to the image of the non-European, “native.” Specifically, we will examine the “primitive” (and the related figures of the “cannibal,” the “savage,” and the “barbarian”) in British and French literature and visual art as the essential-if often invented-figure at the heart of modern concepts of empire, subjectivity, aesthetics, ethics, and culture. Although much of our work will concentrate on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, we will begin by examining several foundational early modern and Enlightenment-era texts to see how images of first contact between so-called “natives” and European explorers influenced more contemporary discourses of anthropology, biology, social science, psychoanalysis, and imperial politics. Readings will examine several key contact zones between European and non-European peoples: Africa, India, Oceania, and the Middle East. Our semester will end with a section devoted to contemporary responses to European constructions of racial ‘Otherness’ from the Sudan, France, and England. Authors to be covered include William Shakespeare, Michel de Montaigne, Montesquieu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Rudyard Kipling, Paul Gauguin, Joseph Conrad, W. Somerset Maugham, E.M. Forster, George Orwell, Marjane Satrapi, Tayeb Salih, and Zadie Smith. We will also look at art by Gauguin, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Man Ray, and Pablo Picasso, among others, as well as films such as Cannibal Tours and Dirty, Pretty Things.

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017

    What does it mean to desire something-or someone? What is the nature of the relationship between the enamored and the object of desire? In this course, we will explore love and desire as fundamental aspects of identity and self-awareness as well as central themes of literature across diverse cultures and historical periods. Through readings in poetry, drama and fiction, we will examine desire in its many forms, from desire for friendship and familial connection to romantic and libidinal desire, to the desire for material goods and power. Authors to be considered may include Plato, Ovid, Shakespeare, Keats, Brontë, Freud, Rilke, Joyce, Kafka, Nabokov, Wilde, Mann, Duras, Neruda, García Márquez, and Morrison.

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017

    This course will be an interdisciplinary study of memory that encourages students to investigate both critically and creatively how different artists, writers, and filmmakers depict memory. We will discuss not only how it’s used in their work, but also how they represent the way it functions and how different approaches and mediums reveal or expose different aspects of experience. Artists, writers, filmmakers and composers we may explore include: Jonathan Caouette’s Tarnation, Chris Marker’s La Jetee, poet Marie Howe’s What the Living Do, Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, Joe Brainard’s I Remember, as well as various essays (by authors such as Joel Agee and bell hooks).

    Three or Four Credits
    Spring 2018

    A portal opens to another world: what wonders will we find there? In this course, we will travel down rabbit holes, through secret doorways, across borders, and back in time, encountering the stuff of dreams-and sometimes nightmares. Along the way, we will ask what these alternate realities tell us about our own world and our own imaginations. Texts may include: Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, J.M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy, The Wachowskis’ The Matrix, Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, Octavia Butler’s Kindred, and short works by Margaret Cavendish, Jorge Luis Borges, Ray Bradbury, and Adrienne Rich.

  • ENG 100/132 - Altered States: Literature and Intoxication (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017 & Spring 2018

    Various types of altered states of consciousness have long been reflected in Western literature. Changes to identity – not just states brought about by alcohol or drugs, but also spiritual or other intensely emotional experiences – have been a broad theme explored by many authors, from Homer’s Lotus eaters to the enchantments of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream to contemporary confessional memoir. In this course, we will explore the many ways in which altered states have been represented by authors, ranging from the celebratory to the repentant, and the ways in which they construct or challenge the identities of authors, characters and audiences. We will also consider the acts of writing and reading as themselves challenges to conventional identity.

    Three or Four Credits

  • ENG 100/144 - Literary Evolutions (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017 & Spring 2018

    Etymologically (at the word’s root), literature is associated with “humane learning” and “literary culture” (see OED). Our primary goal in this course is to recognize the interdependence of literary evolution and human culture. We will explore how literature evolves over time and across discourses. Close readings of core texts and their offshoots will offer insight into the concepts of adaptation, intertextuality, and cultural capital. Finally, we shall analyze how authors revise key literary themes in the context of poetry, prose, drama, music, film and the graphic novel, and television.

  • ENG 100/146 - Telling It Slant: Unreliable Narrators in American Literature (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Not Offered 2017-2018

    Should we trust the narrators of the literature we read? Why or why not? What about the “speakers” in poetry or the characters on stage in a play? In these works of fictions, moreover, is there a way to assess the reliability or unreliability of the voices telling us the story? How do these issues affect our experience of reading literature? This course uses these questions to examine a diverse set of texts: selections from Emily Dickinson’s poetry; Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno; Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw; Nella Larson’s Passing; a play by Anna Deavere Smith; as well as short stories by Sherman Alexie, Kate Chopin, Junot Díaz, and Toni Morrison. Along with exploring these works, we will also read and discuss relevant secondary and theoretical work (from Wayne Booth, Peter Rabinowitz, and others) that can shed light on the challenges-and pleasures-of negotiating reliable and unreliable voices in literature.

  • ENG 100/147 - Romanticism and How to Live (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Not Offered 2017-2018

    This cornerstone literature course reads major texts of the Romantic Age as explorations of paths toward the good life, broadly and diversely construed. Works by authors such as Blake, Wordsworth, Godwin, the Shelleys, Keats, and Austen will be read and analyzed in terms of the insights they provide on large and relevant topics such as justice, science, beauty, violence, among others; while responses to these Romantics texts from the Victorian Age through the present will be considered as well. We will not only learn to read Romantic texts carefully and thoroughly, but we will also begin to grasp the legacy of Romanticism in the present – such as, for example, how Godwin’s dilemma in “Political Justice” (whom would you save from a burning house if you had to choose between X and Y) provides the opening set-piece for Michael Sandel’s influential contemporary exploration of justice.

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017

    This course includes some of the most widely-read and influential American women authors of the last hundred years. While novels form the backbone of the course, we will also read poems, short stories, essays, memoirs, recipes, advice literature, and a graphic memoir. The course will function as an introduction to reading critically and to writing about literature; additionally, we will use our texts as a lens onto the condition of women over time, and attend to the relationship of women’s writing to the evolution of gender politics in the twentieth century. Throughout, we will attend to issues of social location such as race and class, with an emphasis on intersectional thinking. The course is loosely organized around the theme of “home” conceived broadly-as a literal dwelling, the locus of productive and of creative work, and as an important historical site of female meaning-creation.

  • ENG 100/150 - Writing About Film (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017

    Our goal this semester will be to develop an easy fluidity with the language of cinema, and explore how to use this language to think and write critically about film.

  • ENG 100/151 - In Passing: Performed Identities in Literature (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Fall 2017

    What does it mean to pass as someone you’re not? Or to not pass as someone you are? Focusing on gender, race, and ethnicity, this course will explore how identity can be performed. Through readings in drama, fiction, and poetry, we will consider the experiences of the gender-bending character in disguise, the mixed-race person passing as white, and the assimilating immigrant adapting to a new culture. By looking at ways identity can be literally enacted (through costuming, affectation, and language), we will examine the underlying social constructs that reveal how identity is performed in everyday life. What is at stake in these performances and what is their relationship to authenticity?

  • ENG 100/152 - Site-Specific Literature (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Spring 2018

    This course will explore literature about space and place. How do writers craft the feeling of a particular place in their work? What is our experience of this place in our imaginary-or what is the experience of reading this literature in the very place it was written about? We will examine how being “here” or “there” relates to issues of identity, community, belonging, displacement, power, and privilege. We will find ourselves in Joyce’s Dublin, compare Dickens’s and Woolf’s London to the city as experienced by a West Indian immigrant, contemplate geography with John Green, and read a poem about Boston’s Public Garden in the Public Garden itself, all the while discovering how we locate ourselves in and outside of these texts.

  • ENG 100/153 - Border Stories: Transcultural Literature (Core/First-Year Seminar)

    Three or Four Credits
    Spring 2018

    In many ways, globalization and technological advances have made the world a more open and interconnected place than ever before.  Yet around the world borders remain sites of contestation. The course asks two interrelated questions: how authors represent borders, and how the genres in which they work shape our understandings of the issues themselves. Topics include the ethics of dividing culture along ethnic, linguistic, and national lines on the one hand and the problems of the universalizing category of “the global” on the other. We will also examine the relationship between creative production and such topics as empire, travel/diaspora, translingualism, and literary reconfiguration.
