  • ENGLISH 312c: Psychoanalysis and Literature

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    Aside from its aspirations to being medicine or a science, psychoanalysis constitutes a powerful theory of reading, which, in its emergence at the beginning of the 20th century, corresponds to the revolution in interpretation which continues into our own time. The aim of this course is to study this theory of reading in order to show how it is the foundation of such interpretive concepts and procedures as close reading, text, and the intentional fallacy, as well as being both the source and critique of the modern handling of such interpretational elements as image, myth, and meaning.

  • ENGLISH 317: Hearts of Darkness

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    This course explores the European encounter with the non-Western world; in the encounter with that which is alien, an exploration of Western culture and the Western psyche takes place. Conrad's Heart of Darkness is the archetype of this encounter. In the hundred years since it was written, Western and non-Western writers have constructed versions and counter-versions of it. Colonialism, identity, love, religion, freedom, justice, the nature of the self, and the complex character of western civilization itself are all subjects. Students read each fiction by the light of its own structure and intent as well as in dialogue with Conrad.

Taking slave desires of the other, the course compares these desires to contemporary gendered and sexual normativity. (Staff, offered annually)

  • ENGLISH 320: History of American Independent Film

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    The history of American independent film runs parallel to the origin, development and consolidation of the Hollywood study system in the 1920s and 1930s through to the contemporary "independent" production wings of major studios, such as Miramax. This course traces this history beginning with the marginalized cinema of the 1930s B-movie studies and the "race cinema" of Oscar Micheaux. In the 1950s and 1960s, independent film was a powerful challenge to the calcified studio system of the postwar period, a prelude to the recent transformation in studio production resulting from the development of contemporary independent cinema, showcases such as the Sundance Film Festival, and the availability of digital technology.
