Comp Lit 430: Narrative Theory
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Sequential representation, which is a feature of narratives, can be found in novels and stories and also in historical records, films, television dramas, cartoons, graphic novels, and even (when ordered sequentially) paintings or photographs. We consider focalization, temporal relations, speech representation, gaps, and the implied author, and the effect of these and other elements of narrative analysis on readers' and viewers' experience. Exemplary narratives include Flaubert's Madame Bovary, James' Ambassadors, Faulkner's Sound and the Fury, and Robbe-Grillet's Maison de Rendez-vous; stories by Hoffman, Borges, and Cortázar, along with a film or photo-novel. We read theory by major narratologists Barthes, Chatman, Cohn, Dolozel, Genette, McHale, Nünning, Phelan, Prince, Rimmon-Kenan, Ryan, Sternberg, and others. Open to students of history, the visual arts, and film, as well as literature.

Comp Lit 436: Seminar in Dramatic Theory
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The course begins with Plato's critique of mimesis and Aristotle's defense, as we read The Poetics as a response to Plato. We take some of Aristotle's basic concepts, such as mimesis, plot, character, and thought, and attempt to apply them to drama up to the present day. We also consider fundamental elements of both the dramatic text and the dramatic production, such as space, time, dialogue, narrative devices, and perspective. Brecht's theory of "epic drama" forms the other conceptual pole in the course, opposing Aristotle. Besides these two theorists, other figures include Ben Jonson, Corneille, Dryden, Diderot, Schiller, Hegel, Zola, Artaud, and Grotowski. The course, then, has both chronological and thematic axes. Three papers and one oral presentation.

Comp Lit 4901: TOPICS: Around Paris: Capital Lives
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course constructs a cultural map of literature and the visual arts through century-by-century comparisons linking Paris with different Western capitals. We study Rabelais' ideals of a humanist education along with the flourishing of art in Renaissance Florence; the court culture of Lafayette's Princess de Cleve and the art of Vermeer and his contemporaries in Delft and Amsterdam; the libertinism of Laclos' Dangerous Liaisons in conjunction with the London exploits of Richardson's Pamela; and the middle-class desire as it radiates from Paris through Vienna in Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Vuillard's paintings, and Freud's Dora. These comparisons enable us to define a context for literature that engages political, religious, and social concerns. A study of Butor's Parisian hero's return to Rome in Change of Heart (La Modification) along with Paul Auster's New York Trilogy focuses on how, by experimenting with narrative structure, some modern literature defines a culture rooted less in sociopolitical concerns than in the writer's own ability to relate the impact of city life on the consciousness of his hero. Photographs of Paris and New York by Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Stieglitz, Strand, Hine, and others offer additional perspectives for considering how, over time and over borders, Paris remains central to our sense of culture. Prerequisite: one 300-level literature class.
