What is the sublime Can it be described, labeled, categorized, analyzed, and/or presented Or is it, as the French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard suggests, the unpresentable, that which we can conceive of and allude to but never present Can both the desire and attempt to present the sublime in some enduring form become the occasion for terror This seminar seeks to address these questions in the writings of Lyotard and four contemporary authors who have become witnesses of the unpresentable: Toni Morrison, Primo Levi, Edward Said, and Paul Monette. Each views narration as both a responsible act and a way of mediating the terror of such moments as slavery, genocide, exile, and disease; each attempts to say and write what seems and appears to be unpresentable. Prerequisite(s): one 100-level religious studies course. Enrollment limited to 15. Instructor permission is required. M. Bruce.
