How do certain episodes in history become sites of ethical as well as historiographical negotiation? Why are some events more potent as objects of memory than others? A major goal of this course will be to examine how particular histories become figured as ‘limit cases’ and emerge as nodes of cultural debate, at once emotionally charged and resistant to satisfactory interpretation. Examples will include some recent debates about medieval Jewish-Christian relations, arguments about conceptualizing questions of responsibility after the Holocaust, and controversies over the representation of nationalism and national pasts in a global marketplace of competing interpretations. Selected texts range from medieval chronicles to memoirs of Holocaust survival to journalistic debates about terrorism. Along the way, we will examine Giorgio Agamben’s arguments about the representative status of Auschwitz for modernity, discuss the relevance of Emmanuel Levinas’ ‘passivity beyond passivity’ for post-Holocaust politics as well as ethics, and ruminate over philosopher Gillian Rose’s evocation of Primo Levi in the service of an ‘ethics of implication.’

This seminar will examine the constitution of the field of children’s literature studies in relation to the production of novelistic writing for young people in a range of historical and critical contexts. We will consider how the concept of a literature uniquely “for” children was instituted in the writings of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century reviewers, historians of literature, and cultural critics. We will then examine a range of more recent theoretical, critical, and historical works that have influenced the study of children’s literature within the field of English studies. Finally, we will examine major British and American fictions by such authors as Hughes, Carroll, Stretton, Alger, Alcott, Haggard, Kipling, and London, along with theoretically and historically informed critical essays on these works.
