Take me to the Fall Time Schedule
240. Introduction to Comparative Literature.
(3). (HU).
Why Read? Why Live? Do the two questions have the same answers? What does
reading have to do with living? In this course, we will take these questions
as a framework through which to approach comparative literature as something
people study and as a way they study it. But wait, there's more! The books
you read, the thoughts you think, and the words you hear, speak, and write
will slip under your skin with excruciating sweetness. They might make you
feel itchy and uncomfortable. It may be difficult to walk and talk normally.
You may begin to hear voices and to tell stories. I promise... But only
if you do the reading (which will include work by authors such as McCullers,
Kafka, Puig, Achebe, Shelley, Cortazar, Freud, Nietzsche, Marx, and Deleuze),
writing (weekly short papers, one or two longer essays,) talking, and thinking
(constantly). WL:2 (Colás)
