Virginia Woolf knew her doctors. Her novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is, among other things, a scathing indictment of the medical system and its treatment of WWI veterans with shellshock. Yet, Woolf also wrote a dazzling celebration of the creative potential of illness in her long essay, \On Being Ill." We will begin with Woolf's treatment of doctors and illness and also examine depictions by other writers and _lmmakers. What are some of the salient dynamics of the patient/doctor dynamic? How do _ction and _lm encourage us to accept and/or to re-examine them? What power structures are apparent in medical dynamics? If you are considering a medical career, this course may provide an opportunity to reect upon such roles. In addition to readings, the course may incorporate speakers from within and without the medical system. All of this will be the backdrop for intense attention to writing critically, intelligently and regularly in papers from the essay to the research project. In class, in research, and in papers, we will study and theorize about the patient/doctor dance. Students will draft and redraft writings, from in-class writing to critical essays to research-informed critical projects. Students will learn how to search for literary and cultural scholarship, using library resources such as search engines and data bases. Challenging writing assignments will help develop critical thinking and critical writing skills. Not open to students who have previously completed ENG 111. (Humanities, Writing Requirement) HANKINS
