New Courses--Winter 1996

Eng 103. Problems in Gender Studies-2 (sec 01) (=ArtH 171 Problems in Visuality and Identity: Gender, Race, and Sexuality). Utilizing a variety of visual and written texts, this course investigates the construction and intersection of gender, racial, and sexual identities. The focus is on the negotiation of subjective meanings in and through a variety of cultural productions: paintings, film, novels, and news media. In this course, the notion of various kinds of "normalities," as evidenced through the production of "abnormalities" (racial, gender, sexual) serves as the common thread uniting our investigations. P. Rogers. (MW 2:30-3:50, CWAC 156)

Eng 136. Poetry Writing. D Cummins. (M 1-3:50, Wb 111)

Eng 152/352. The Construction of Self in Early English Literature. PQ: Eng 149/349 or equivalent. This course addresses the question of 'self' in Old English prose texts, focusing on available evidence for constructions of 'self' in early England. The themes of the course divide into four parts. "Alfred and the question of 'self'" focuses on issues of translation and the king's construction of subjectivity. "Encountering the Other" explores the ways in which the construction of the Other (here presented as exotic or monstrous races) yields notions of self. "Regulation of the Self" draws primarily on legal and penitential texts to examine the sites of sin and guilt. And "The Gendered Self" concentrates on saints' lives in Old English and Anglo-Latin to examine the gendering of the religious self. The course requires extensive reading in OE prose and supplementary theoretical and critical readings. Some knowledge of Latin is helpful but not necessary. A reading knowledge of OE is required (i.e., normally, successful completion of an introductory OE course).K. O'Brien O'Keeffe.

Eng 157/357. Vernacular Literacy and the Democratization of Learning in the Late Middle Ages. [Formerly titled Ricardian Poetry.] With the reestablishment of English as a vehicle for written as well as spoken texts in the later fourteenth and fifteenth centuries came the radical democratization of learning. We follow this democratization as it affected the literary production of this period, concentrating especially on the writings of the Wycliffites and the power struggles these engendered. C. von Nolcken. (TTh 10-11:20, Wb 130)
