Readings revolve around the intersections of gender politics, insurrection, and rhetoric. In addition, students will work with earlier material remains, such as inscriptions and documentary papyri.

Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Why Literature? Why do we continue to read, write, and relish literary texts? What are the profit margins of this enterprise? This is what we will ask ourselves as we sample, enjoy, and scrutinize a select number of texts, which are distinctive of genre and recognized for their excellence. We will try to define the role of the poet-prophet and the storyteller in our midst. Together we will take the measure of the text by careful reading followed by open discussion. In the process we will develop our own understanding of genre, study the cohesion of message and form, discover the cunning narrative strategies, and savor the flavor of style. From this we will go on to examine texts which expand the boundaries of language, straddle two or more traditional literary forms, or initiate a new genre. The term is divided into four workshops. During each workshop students are asked to bring in their own favorite poem, drama, or prose work for presentation to the group. In the case of drama, we will do some group presentations in the form of dramatic readings. We will also concern ourselves with the art of adaptation and see a film or two. In the course of our fourth workshop, we will address our initial question: "Why Pleasure?" in the light of our forgone experiences from the literature we will have studied. You will also be asked to do a limited amount of critical reading.
