This course meets the critical/intellectual methods course requirement for students who are majoring in Comparative Literature. This course examines conceptions of desire in ancient China and ancient Greece through an array of early philosophical, literary, historical, legal, and medical texts (e.g., Mencius, Sima Qian, Book of Songs, Plato, Sappho). We attempt not only to bring out the cultural specificities of ancient erotic experience but also to make visible the historical and geopolitical contingencies of our own methods of reading. To do so, we explore the broader cultural background of the two ancient periods, and engage with theoretical debates on the history of sexuality, feminist and queer studies, and intercultural comparative studies. T. Chin. Winter.

PQ: Advanced standing. This course meets the critical/intellectual methods course requirement for students who are majoring in Comparative Literature. This course is a reading of some of the major travel narratives of the Silk Road and Tibet: Xuanzang, the most famous of the Chinese Buddhist pilgrims who went to the West; Marco Polo and others, who went to the East; a diplomat like Clavijo, who went to see Tamerlane; modern travelers, like the spies the British government sent from India to explore and map the area who were the prototypes for Kipling's Kim; and archaeologists, like Aurel Stein who went both ways on the Silk Road. We learn indirectly about the different religions and political regimes travelers experienced. M. Murrin. Spring.

This course is a close reading of Cervantes's Don Quijote that discusses its links with Renaissance art and Early Modern narrative genres. On the one hand, Don Quijote can be viewed in terms of prose fiction, from the ancient Greek romances to the medieval books of knights errant and the Renaissance pastoral novels. On the other hand, Don Quijote exhibits a desire for Italy through the utilization of Renaissance art. Beneath the dusty roads of La Mancha and within Don Quijote' s chivalric fantasies, the careful reader comes to appreciate glimpses of images with Italian designs. All work in English; students who are majoring in Spanish do all work in Spanish. F. de Armas, T. Pavel. Spring.
