  • Humanities 328: Shapes of Openness:The Novel as a Discipline of Thought

    3.00 Credits
    Colgate University

    M. Leone This course is shaped by the question of how the novel thinks, or whether it thinks at all. Is the novel a discipline of thought in its own right According to Plato, artistic expression lacks "intellect"; while for a practitioner like Lawrence, it lacks honesty: "artists are hopeless liars," he claims. Yet both philosopher and novelist agree that out of art's duplicity "forms of wisdom" somehow emerge.

Mostly contemporary novelists of numerous traditions are read in translation, including Hareven (Israeli), Schulz (Polish), Carpentier (Cuban), Darrieusseqc (French), Susskind and Schlink (German), and Tolstoy (Russian).

But these works also contain episodes in which the ordinary everyday world of the book is changed into a world of unreality, fantasy, or dramatically heightened imagination; however, extraordinary incidents such as the Virgin Mary appearing in a suburban back garden, people flying, animals talking, etc., presumably do not belong in our everyday lives. So why did the author include them as though they were no different from the rest of the work What does the author expect to achieve by doing so, and what does he or she actually succeed in achieving Are we enriched by the fantasy, the "untrue," the make believe of this appro
