experimentation with various storytelling
techniques. The final section of the
course will investigate the issues raised
by translating/shaping a written memoir
into an aural performance. Students may
have an opportunity to participate in a
storytelling performance similar to the

ENGL 332 Contemporary American Literature (AH) 3 credits
Fables of Identity
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD
GEP:N/A. GFR:Meets AH. In this course we
will examine several recent works of
American literature and culture that
address "identity" - whether class,
gender, race, sexual or national - as a
rhetorical construct. The reading list
includes fiction (Philip Roth's The Human
Stain, Chang-Rae Lee's Native Speaker),
poetry (Adrianne Rich's An Atlas of the
Difficult World, Harryette Mullen's
Sleeping with the Dictionary), and
drama(Tony Kushner's Angels in America,
Suzan-Lori Parks's In the Blood). We will
also watch a couple of movies (John
Water's Hairspray, Spike Lee's
Bamboozled). As we study these texts, we
will consider why and how they approach
identity as a problem of representation
and what they accomplish through their
penetrating, unpredictable critiques.

ENGL 346 Literary Themes Biblical Themes in 3 credits
Renaissance Texts
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This course will
explore the use of biblical material by
early modern authors. We will analyze
literary adaptations of biblical myth in
various genres, charting the itinerary of
the myths through the maze of political
contingencies, humanist neoclassical
distortion, and religious propaganda. The
course will cover the 16th and 17th
centuries. We will read, along others,such
authors as William Tyndale, John Donne,
George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, and John
Milton. The aim of the course is to
familiarize students with the
extraordinary flexibility of the biblical
material and to demonstrate the ingenuity
with which early modern authors used the
bible as a kind of distorting mirror to
reflect their own beliefs and ambitions.

Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD
GEP:N/A. GFR:Meets AH. Topic: Race &
Ethnicity in U.S. Literature. The concept
of "race" is not static, but has been
defined differently at various points in
U.S. history. This course examines how
notions of race and ethnicity are
represented, contested, and reconsidered
in U.S. fiction of the mid-nineteeth
century through the present. Special
attention will be paid to how race
intersects with gender, sexuality, and
class. Course readings are drawn from
writers of a range of ethnic backgrounds.
Possible works include Herman Melville's
Benito Cereno, Charles Chesnutt's The
Marrow of Tradition, Nella Larsen's
Quicksand, John Okada's No-No Boy, Piri
Thomas' Down These Mean Streets, Danzy

(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This is a senior
seminar on Yvor Winters and mid-twentieth
century American formalist poetry. We will
test Winters' theories in defense of
formal verse technique against the
practice of a variety of mid-century
formalist poets, including Winters
himself, Allen Tate, Louise Bogan, J.V.
Cunningham, Julia Randall, Richard Wilbur,
Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman and James
Merrill, and also look at Pound, Eliot,
and Williams (to whom the formalists were
reacting) as well as at a variety of non-
or anti-formalist stylists who reacted in
turn against formalist poetry, including
the Lowell of Life Studies, Ginsberg,
Ferlinghetti, Creeley, James Wright,
Levertov, Rich and Ammons.

ENGL 410B Seminar in Genre Studies Socio-Cultural 3 credits
Theories of Learning and Human Interaction
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This seminar
explores the social nature of learning and
how individuals, through their interaction
with others, can become and remain
successful participants in communities
formed out of shared practices. With an
emphasis on the role of genre (a typified
response to a recurrent situation) in
mediating activity, we will examine how
and why individuals, through their
tool-use (e.g., genre, language, music,
computing, architecture), can learn to act
purposefully so as to achieve desired
outcomes. But rather than understanding
these activities, motivations, and
outcomes as individual-specific, we will
uncover the ways in which the activity
systems in which action occurs are part of
a larger socio-cultural network that sets
the conditions by which success and
failure can occur. Finally, we will not
only analyze mediated activity within
specific communities of practice (e.g.,
classrooms, workplace organizations,
academic disciplines, etc.) but also
develop strategies by which we can
critically examine our own tool-use as
participants, or would-be participants, of
certain communities.

ENGL 448 Seminar in Literature and Culture 3 credits
Victorian Education
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD During the
Victorian Age we witness the
transformation of England into a literate
society, where education for groups such
as women, the working classes and the
colonized becomes an anxious and
contentious issue for nineteenth-century
intellectuals. The Victorians were
fascinated by education and its
implications for stability or disorder in
the individual, the family, English
society, the nation and the British
Empire. In this course we'll examine how
Victorian literature explores the
cultural, economic, psychological and
social effects of education, uncovers the
traumas and conflicts it generates, and
dramatizes both its coercive value as
ideological state apparatus and its
subversive potential for the politics of
gender, class and race. Possible texts
include Charles Dickens' Hard Times,
Charlotte Bronte's Villette, Thomas
Hughes' Tom Brown's School Days, extracts
from Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy,
and John Henry Newman's The Idea of a
University, T.B. Macaulay's Minute on
Education, Kipling's Stalky and Co., Mary
Elizabeth Braddon's The Doctor's Wife,
Frances Compton Burnett's The Little
Princess, Florence Nightingale's
Cassandra, Amy Levy's Xanthippe, and
Margaret Oliphant's The Library.

ENGL 473 Advanced Creative Writing-Poetry 3 credits
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This is an

Plath and Ted Hughes and will actually use
writing prompts and exercises that Ted
Hughes wrote for himself and Sylvia as a
basis for many workshop assignments. We
will study the work of Plath and Hughes in
order to understand how their poems are
constructed and how they create power and
meaning as well as how Hughes' and Plath's
creative ideas evolved from sources of
inspiration into finished poems. We'll
then use Hughes' and Plath's work as
inspiration to create poems for the
workshops. The course will be divided
between a lecture/discussion and a
workshop format. Prerequisite: ENGL 373 or
permission of the instructor.

ENGL 486 Seminar in Teaching Composition: Theory 3 credits
and Practice
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Since the late
1960s a revolution has taken place in the
teaching of composition. This course
examines our changing understanding of
what the teaching of composition is (i.e.,
how it should be approached, and what,
specifically, it requires of students and
instructors) by tracing key theories,
issues, and texts across this 45 year span
of time. Our investigations will begin
with a consideration of the "happening"
movement of the late 60s and early 70s,
and will conclude with a consideration of
the current interest in multimodal/new
media/materialist approaches to
understanding communicative practice. As
students engage with the course materials,
they will be asked to bring theories of
teaching composition into dialogue with
practice, that is, to consider how these
theories may be taken up, altered, tweaked
and/or combined and instantiated in actual
classroom situations.

New Media
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD What is new
media? Simply put, new media is the use of
digital technology to produce, consume,
and represent cultural objects such as
software, hypertext, computer games, and
cyber art. Consequently, this course is
devoted to the development of digital
literacy so as to understand the ways in
which new media is produced, consumed, and
represented, a process that is
increasingly linked to the production of
culture itself. To this end, we will
analyze the technologies and artifacts of
new media as well as the texts that
surround this dynamic and, as of yet,
still emerging medium. To aid in the
acquisition of digital literacy, this
course will also provide historical and
theoretical contexts for the development
of new media.We will read, analyze, and
critique technologies and texts of new
media. In addition, we will create texts
using new media. However, this course is
not intended to teach the technologies
that constitute new media, although we
will "play" with some of them. Rather, we
will examine the ways in which these
technologies are increasingly responsible
for the cultural landscape that provides
the means by which we live our everyday
lives.

ENGL 686 Teaching Composition: Theory and Practice 3 credits
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Since the late
1960s a revolution has taken place in the
teaching of composition. This course will
trace the profound changes in our
understanding of the teaching of writing
by examining key theories and major
players during this 35-year period.
Included will be expressivist theories of
Murray and Elbow, cognitive approaches of
Emig and Flower, social constructionist
perspectives of Bartholomae and Bizzell,
as well as the political approaches of
Fox, Rose, and Hooks. Our reading will
include a number of genres: autobiography,
writers' journals, academic and personal
essays, and social science research
reports. Students will write three papers
in which, employing course theories and
genres, they will experiment with their
own writing, possibly creating their own
"mixed genres." As students discuss and
write about the assigned literature, they
will be asked to bring theories of
teaching composition into dialogue with
practice, that is, to consider how these
theories may be instantiated in actual
classroom situations.
