COLT 0710Q: Odysseus in Literature

COLT 0710U: Leaves of Words: A Survey of Japanese Literature
1.00 Credits
Brown University
While Zen, sushi and animé have become commonplaces in contemporary American parlance, Japanese literature and culture remain static enigmas, conjuring up visions of tearful Madame Butterflys, stolid-faced samurai, and post-modern dystopias. In this survey of Japanese literature from the 8th century to the present, we will examine the development of literature, both poetry and prose, and aesthetics in specific social contexts in Japanese cultural history. In addition to our readings of literary texts, we will on occasion view films/animé and examine manga.

COLT 0710V: The Arab World Writes Itself: Contemporary Arabic Literature
1.00 Credits
Brown University
In his seminal work Orientalism, Edward Said paraphrases Marx, and suggests that Orientalist attitudes towards the Middle East have produced a discourse in which the East must always be spoken for, and not allowed to represent itself. Said's argument has become even more relevant in the past decade, given the growing interest in the Middle East as a region in the US, coupled with a dearth of spaces where voices from the region can offer their own narratives. Designed as an introductory course to contemporary Arabic Literature, this course includes a variety of readings in translation and films from across the Arab world; it foregoes an intense exploration of one national literature for a more varied survey of the textual output of several countries. We will attempt to situate each literature within its national context and within the larger pan-Arab, regional and international context while being sensitive to the political, geographical, and historical foces that have influenced these texts, including the rise of Arab nationalism and the independence struggles of the mid-twentieth century, and immigration. We will also examine--and hopefully question--some of the discursive themes and conceptual frames that have been traditionally used to think about contemporary Arabic literature. Enrollment limited to 20. LILE

COLT 0810C: Arthurian Tales and Romances of the Middle Ages
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Why did stories of King Arthur, his knights, and their ladies fascinate writers and audiences throughout Europe? What can Arthurian quests, marvels, and love adventures tell us about successive pre-modern societies that shaped them? What are our responses to their cultural beliefs and forms of playful make-believe? Readings (in modern translation) of medieval Latin, French, English, Welsh, and German texts. LL

COLT 0810E: Confession, Autobiography, Testimony
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Does writing a life give it coherence and veracity, or create a fiction? What is the relationship between first-person narrative and truth, and between authorship and authority? How does the form of a first-person text -- a religious confession, a personal journal, a political denunciation, a collective memoir -- affect the telling? Must the reader of such an account be "you" to the teller's "I", and how does the intimacy of this relationship shape the experience of reading? In this course, we test the limits of self-narration against ethical and physical limits, reading first-person narratives that purport to be non-fictional. We will read accounts of different experiences -- social and sexual transgression, suffering and perpetrating violence, slavery -- and explore both the possibilities and duplicities of writing as "I".
