-
3.00 Credits
This writing class will use as inspiration self-representation by contemporary women authors who have written on the scrim of legend, myth, and folklore. The telling of tales is central to community interaction; story has always been used as a way, direct and indirect, of making culturally specific meaning out of experience. As such, it is a particularly dynamic record of encounters and influences both among and within groups. The focus of this class will be upon uses of new points of view and of speaking personae that revise earlier versions of the familiar and thus destablize meaning through illusions of maintaining heirloom metaphor. Students will read archival and contemporary material and then select traditional and modern stories resonant of their private experiences to generate original work.
-
3.00 Credits
Students explore the issues, debates, and politics of American literary multiculturalism; consider texts from non-European imaginative traditions that challenge not only the canon of American literature but also notions of the American and the literary; and devise strategies of incorporating such texts in courses on American multicultural literature.
