This course explore narratives that expose the play between the adult's perspective and the child's. Topics considered include orphanhood, social change, creative forces, and institutions of power. We pay particular attention to the child's voice as a narrative strategy used to confront unfathomable horrors, to reconstruct history, and to offer order to personal upheavals. We discuss what these narratives reveal about the societies they purport to reflect as well as about the nature of narrative itself to convey history, values, and emotion. Readings include Robert Drewes, Sharknet; Nurrudin Farah, Maps; Stella Gibbons, Cold Comfort Farm; David Grossman, Momik; Philippe Grimbert, Memory; Dorothy Allison, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure; Amos Oz, Tale of Love and Darkness; and Hanan al-Shaykh, Story of Zahra.

Attention is paid not only to important new artistic, political, and social movements, as seen by these writers, but also to films and music of the time.

How can mystical experience be put into words? How did the mystic poets, from various world traditions, attempt to express this inexpressible? How should we "read" and "interpret" these poetic images? This course deals with these and similar questions while examining key mystical/poetic concepts such as silence, union with the divine, or human versus mystical love. The lyrics of the world-renowned mystic Rumi are used as the main text with frequent comparisons to the writings of other prominent figures such as St. John of the Cross, Yunus Emre, John Donne, Kabir, and Meister Eckhart. All poems are read in English.
