Projects with applications outside of the classroom (such as finding aids, online teaching and learning resources, etc.) are stongly encouraged.

    This course examines the contributions to American literature made by Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans and other Latino/Latina writers in the United States over the last thirty years.

M.A. candidates not specifically exempted are required to take this course. Prerequisite:    Seniors by permission only

  • ENG 360: Studies in 18thCentury British Literature

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Making Gender through the 18th-Century Novel Gender roles became more clearly defined in the eighteenth century. This course traces the construction of masculinity and femininity through the discourses of sexuality, sensibility, and sociability in the eighteenth-century British novel. Through contemporary theory on the construction of subjectivity, sexuality and gender, we will examine the popular forms of the 18th-century novel—adventure, domestic, romance, and pornographic—to understand the ways in which these texts helped to shape perceptions of gender socially and culturally. A student may take this seminar more than once, as long as the topic for the course is different. For undergraduate English majors this course satisfies the Period (C-2) requirement.

  • ENG 378: Contemporary British Literature

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    This course explores British literary and visual culture following the political, economic, and social upheavals after World War II. Marked by Britain's declining geopolitical significance, the trauma of the war, and the dissolution of the empire overseas, this period precipitated a crisis of national confidence while opening up new possibilities for defining the “imagined community” of England. We will examine the many aesthetic responses to this era of transition, from nostalgic efforts to reassert a sense of authentic nationhood to new social movements that point to alternative forms of solidarity and community. Topics we will examine include the confluence of race and nationalism; a new emphasis on individual identity and authentic selfhood; the emergence of youth movements and subcultures; the challenges posed by writers from the former colonies; the use of new narrative techniques to respond to realism and modernism. We will explore novels, poetry, music and film profoundly influenced by the legacy of war, new immigration, dramatic shifts in gender and sexual politics, class conflict and deindustrialization, and the potential break-up of Britain. Consideration of these texts, and of the cultural studies movement itself, will serve as the basis for discussions on the ways that literary, popular, and political culture register, and refashion, deeply contested debates regarding the meaning of Englishness. Readings will be drawn from such authors as Anthony Burgess, Kingsley Amis, Ian McEwan, Jamaica Kincaid, Jeanette Winterson, Zadie Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Pat Barker, and Salman Rushdie. For undergraduate English majors, this course satisfies the Period (C-3) requirement.

  • ENG 379: Fictions of Asian America

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    With particular emphasis on the multiple meanings of "fiction," this seminar examines the ways in which the Asian American identity is constructed, imagined and contested in American literature and popular culture. Analyses will focus primarily on how texts and films produced within the last decade maintain or challenge established boundaries of the Asian American identity. Specific issues to be investigated include the model minority discourse and the demands of assimilation and citizenship; ethnic authenticity and hybridity; gender roles and sexual anxieties; cultural memory and nostalgia; and the commodification of Asian cultures and identities.
