  • ENG 355: Advanced Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Sabin Topic for 2009-10: Irish Literature: The Terror and the Wit. Modern Irish literature is often at once shocking in its violence and funny, in subversive, sly, and macabre ways. Examples from drama, fiction, poetry, and film will allow us to explore the power of wit and humor to enliven political, domestic, and existential struggles without diminishing their underlying terror. The course will address literary responses to anti-colonial and sectarian strife in the twentieth century, and will consider how political violence and economic poverty play out in repre-sentations of sexual and family relationships. Freud's theories of the psychological dynamics of wit and humor, along with readings in con-temporary cultural criticism will provide additional perspectives to the primary reading by such authors as Oscar Wilde, J.M. Synge, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Roddy Doyle, Martin McDonagh. A few recent and contemporary Irish films will also be included. Prerequisite: Open to juniors and seniors who have taken two literature courses in the department, at least one of which must be 200 level, or by permission of the in-structor to other qualified students.

  • ENG 363: Seminar.Film Noir

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Shetley A journey through the dark side of the American imagination. Where classic Hollywood filmmaking trades in uplift and happy endings, film noir inhabits a pessimistic, morally ambiguous universe. This course will explore the development of this alternative vision of the American experience, from its origins around the time of World War II, through the revival of the genre in the early 1970s, to its ongoing influence in contemporary cinema. We'll pay particular attention to noir 's redefinition of American cinematic style, and to its representations of mascu-linity and femininity. Films that may be studied include Howard Hawks ? The Big Slee p, Billy Wilder 's Double Indemni ty, Robert Altma n's The Long Good bye, Roman Polans ki's China town, and David Ly nch's Mulholland Drive.

  • ENG 364: Race and Ethnicity in Literature

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Ford Topic for 2009-10: The American Novel in Black and White. This course examines the American novel from the Civil War period on-wards by pairing works by black and white writers, each pair concerning the same theme or historical moment. We will use these opposi-tions to examine the ways in which the American literary imagination has always depended on an (often invisible) Other to crystallize its ideas about national identity. By focusing on subjects, such as slavery and miscegenation, that have been bitterly divisive in American history, we will also try to think through the role that literature takes on in defining contentious historical developments both at the time of their unfolding and after the fact. Authors to be read may include Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Faulkner, Charles Chesnutt, Octavia Butler, and Charles Johnson. Prerequisite: Open to juniors and seniors who have taken two literature courses in the department, at least one of which must be 200 level, or by permission of the in-structor to other qualified students.

  • ENG 365: Images of the American City

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Cuba and Brogan (English) This course considers how literary representations and sociological studies of urban life variously respond to the astonishing growth of cities in the twentieth century, helping to shape newly emergent and highly contested cultural meanings of the city. In considering the in-terplay between mind and urban forms, we'll explore the relationship between the individual and the urban environment, how life in cities is socially organized, patterns of immigration and tensions between ethnic groups, the creation of the slum and ghetto and efforts to gentrify them, cognitive mapping, and the legibility of the cityscape. We'll also discuss how literary and sociological perspectives on the city meet and diverge. Authors may include Stephen Crane, Georg Simmel, Robert Park, Ann Petry, James Baldwin, Anselm Strauss, Paule Mar-shall, Kevin Lynch, Anna Deavere Smith, and Elijah Anderson . Students may register for either SOC 365 or ENG 365 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: One 200-level course in either literature or sociology or by permission of the instructor to other qualified students.

    Meyer Topic for 2009-10: Nineteenth-Century Novels of Romantic Mistake. ?Reader, I married him,? Jane Eyre tells us as her novel draws to a close. Many nineteenth-century novels end with a marriage. So despite suggestions within the body of the novel that women's traditional role is not a satisfying one, the heroine seems contented in that role by the novel's end. But what if the heroine chooses wrongly In this course, we will consider novels that look at a heroine's life after a marriage that she comes to regret, as well as some novels in which the bad romantic choices do not result in marriage. What do these novels of romantic mistake have to say about women's lives Probable authors: Anne Bront , Charlotte Bront , James, Austen, Eliot. Special attention will be given to the process of researching and writing a long seminar p aper. Prerequisite: By permission of the instructor. Juniors considering an honors thesis or graduate work are particularly encouraged to enroll. Not open to students who have taken 345 in 2008-09 or 383 in 2006-07.

  • ENG 384: Outside England

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Tyler Topic for 2009-10: Englishness: Inside and Outside. This course will examine the evolution of the term ?English? into its current double function, of describing both a national character (?Churchill and Kristin Scott-Thomas are so English!?) and an analytic technique (?I want to do English better!?). We'll use pairs, or twosomes, composed of one English person by birth, and the other person English by choice or exile or antithesis. At the center of the course will be the extravagant films of Powell and Pressburger: we will watch one a week, with some -?The Red Shoes,? ?Black Narcissus?-taking a bit longer. Other twosomes will be George Orwell and Karl Marx, Angela Carter and Roland Barthes, Dr. Johnson and David Hume. Some twosomes don't neatly suit the device, e.g., Shakespeare's flirting couple at the e nd of Henry V.
