Literary history often portrays women as peripheral characters, confining their power to the islands of classical witches and the attics of Romantic madwomen. This course offers a revisionist response to such constraints of canonicity, especially as they pertain to the marginalization of female subjectivity in literature and culture. We will therefore explore a more diversified range of intellectual and experiential possibilities. The curriculum challenges traditional dichotomies--culture/nature, logos/pathos, mind/body--that cast gender as an essential attribute rather than a cultural construction. Texts include: Aeschylus, Oresteia; Hymn to Demeter; Ovid, Metamorphoses; Sei Shonagon, The Pillow Book; Marie de France, Lais; Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales; Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, selected poetry; Shakespeare, As You Like It; Aphra Behn, Oroonoko; and Lady Hyegyong, The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong. - G.

The course transcends the traditional and arbitrary distinction that separates North and South American literatures. The Americas emerge not as a passive colonial object but as an active historical and aesthetic agent. Emanating from what might be called the geographical site of modernity, American literature is characterized by unprecedented diversity and innovation. In addition to classic American novels, short stories, and poetry, the multicultural curriculum features genres ranging from creation myths and slave narratives to Gothicism and magic realism. Texts include: Popul Vuh; Shakespeare, The Tempest; Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Anne Bradstreet, and Phillis Wheatley, selected poetry; Madre MarÃa de San Jos Vid a; Charles Brockden Brow n, Edgar Huntl y; Toussaint L'Ouverture, selected letters; Leonora Sansa y, Secret Histor y; Olaudah Equian o, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equian o; William Apes s, A Sonof the Fores t; Esteban EcheverrÃa, "The Slaughterhouse"; Herman Melville, "Benito Cereno.- L.

This seminar considers the representation of South Asian cultures in art and literature over the past five hundred years. We will examine issues of colonialism and nationalism, gender identity, religious identity, and caste/class struggle in works by native authors, English colonial figures, and artists from diasporic communities beyond the subcontinent. How have historically marginalized figures responded to different forms of oppression, both by colonial forces and by governing structures and institutions What is the relationship between imperial identity and national identity Where does the "real" South Asia begin and end in relation to the imagined space, place, and tradition that has taken shape over the region's long and turbulent history Authors considered will include Mahasweta Devi, Salman Rushdie, George Orwell, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, and Rabindranath Tagore. Additionally, there will be two film screenings and a trip to the Dahesh Museum of Art. - M. Chander 3 points
