  • ENGL 1760I: "Terrible Beauty": Literature and the Terrorist Imaginary

    0.00 - 1.00 Credits

    Why does terrorism fascinate literary writers in the modern period? Is terrorism the figure of something that is unrepresentable in fiction, or is it a type of direct political action that fiction writers aspire to?

Forster, T. S. Eliot), but attention will also be paid to the visual arts (especially Roger Fry and Post-Impressionism) and social criticism (Lytton Strachey, Leonard Woolf, and John Maynard Keynes).

  • ENGL 1760P: "Extravagant" Texts: Experiments in Asian American Writing

    1.00 Credits
    Brown University

    We examine Asian American writings that are difficult, complex, and/or experimental: texts that are, in Maxine Hong Kingston's phrase, "extravagant." By looking at works that explicitly challenge the generic conventions with which much Asian American literature is usually linked--autobiography, the Bildungsroman, ethnography, realism, and sentimentalism--we try to arrive at a more expansive sense of what the ends of Asian American cultural politics might be. Enrollment limited.
