  • ENG 353: Contemporary Amer Literature

    3.00 Credits
    Cabrini University - Closed

    By looking at contemporary American literature (1945-present), students in this course will better understand the experimental impulses that define the American postmodernist era. Specifically, our consideration of late-century poetry, prose, and drama will suggest that American postmodernism-like the Modernism that preceded it-does not so much refer to an artistic movement as it does reflect the broad constellation of socio-cultural trends that compose American culture today. In each semester, the course will focus on a unique cohort of twentieth and twenty-first-century writers. 3 credits

  • ENG 358: Harlem Renaissance

    3.00 Credits
    Cabrini University - Closed

    In this course students will study literary, musical, film, and artistic productions of the Harlem Renaissance. As W.E.B Dubois pondered the power of "Negro Art," prolific authors such as Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, Langston Huges, Jean Toomer, and Zora Neale Hurston created works that gave expression to the diverse and complex African American experience. Students will analyze these works and genres in the context of major debates, social movements, political shifts, and intellectual transformations of the modern era. The course will focus specifically on the construction of black identity and modern black aesthetics through jazz music, avant-garde texts, and blues women. Through our study, we will explore the rich cultural history of the Harlem Renaissance Movement and how it continues to influence our culture today. 3 credits

  • ENG 366: The Graphic Novel

    3.00 Credits
    Cabrini University - Closed

    This cultural studies course focuses on the graphic novel as pop culture product and literary practice. Students will explore how meaning (linguistic and artistic) is created in celebrated examples of the form, as well as in emerging classics. Our reading will be informed by contemporary theoretical perspectives as we interrogate the relationships that exist between the concepts of the "graphic novel," the "comic book," and the "storyboard." Through in-depth study of primary texts including Art Spiegelman's Maus, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, Joe Sacco's Journalism, and other examples of the form, we will better appreciate the unique achievement of this relatively new literary genre. 3 credits
