Seminar: Literature in History

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This variable-content course explores the processes by which specific texts or genres are imbedded in their time. Seminars may focus on such topics as the archive surrounding one text, memory writing, or emergent genres in order to negotiate theoretical problems pertaining to historicization, rhetorical reading, narratology, gender/sexuality studies or the racialization of national fantasy. (Choice of period and texts will be determined by individual instructors.) Writing- and presentation-intensive course.
