  • ENGL 279: Introduction to Latino/a Literatures and Cultures

    1.00 Credits
    Wesleyan University

    This course serves as an introduction to the many discourses that structure and challenge Latinidad--the feeling of being Latino/a. Through historically situated critical analysis of Latino/a cultural production, including theoretical essays, literature, and film, we will meditate on the major issues that shape the Latino/a U.S. experience. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, while primarily focusing on literary analysis, we will study how Latinidad is constructed as an identity and how that identity varies across origin, place, and time. We will engage in close readings to ascertain how the formal aesthetic choices of Latino/a cultural producers theorizes on the Latino/a experience, as well as broaden our historical understanding. Major themes we will explore include the legacy of U.S. colonialism; the legacy of civil rights movements; nationalism; citizenship, immigration and exile; labor and class; race and ethnicity; and gender and sexuality.

  • ENGL 306: Special Topics: The Beats and Their Discontents

    1.00 Credits
    Wesleyan University

    Without a doubt, three important, foundational works of the Beat movement threaten to stand in for all others. In this class we will do time with the better known "Howl" and "On the Road" and "Naked Lunch," but we will also invest in more contemporary memories and the continuing practices of those days of post-World War II America, when "a group of friends worked together on poetry, prose, and cultural consciousness" (Ginsberg). We will work likewise, in a variety of forms, assessing their moment and writing out our own.

  • ENGL 314: Circulating Bodies: Commodities, Prostitutes, and Slaves in 18th-Century England

    1.00 Credits
    Wesleyan University

    In the newly booming consumer culture of 18th-century England, people were constantly buying and selling things--bespoke suits and manufactured trinkets as well as prostitutes and slaves. This course will explore the period's circulating bodies as they were passed from hand to hand, valued and revalued, used, abused, and discarded. We will trace processes of circulation in 18th-century novels and poetry and listen as the "things" themselves tell stories: in the period, commodities, prostitutes, and slaves all wrote memoirs (or had ones imagined for them). We will read these texts alongside contemporary debates about economics, abolition, and women's rights, and we will return again and again to fundamental questions about personal identity, individual agency and passivity, commodification, objectification, and the very limits of the human.

  • ENGL 328: Word Up! African American Literature, Theory, and Action

    1.00 Credits
    Wesleyan University

    Focusing upon the intersection between the written and spoken word, Word Up! invites students to think critically about the ways in which narratives of the African-American experience reflect and provoke social, cultural, and political activism and transformation. We will delve deeply into a variety of 19th- and 20th-century primary texts through the multifaceted lenses of cultural and literary theory. We will also explore the respective power of oral, written, and performed texts and the ways in which these forms "speak" to one another. This interdisciplinary research seminar is designed to introduce students to certain methodologies, themes, critical perspectives and questions of African-American, literary, historical, and cultural studies to produce an original research paper. We will consider not only the ways in which these theoretical frameworks enhance our understanding of African-American narratives and their articulation, but also the ways in which black words and stories expand applications of those frameworks. Themes will include race, gender, sexuality, identity formation and representation, resistance to oppression, agency, memory, narrative authority, orality, performativity, objectivity, and subjectivity.
