10672 AML3031 AMERICAN LITERATURE I AML 3031: (Counts toward Pre-1865 Literature Requirement)
This course surveys texts produced in the United States from the 17th through the mid-19th centuries, a time when concepts of an American nation and its citizens and literature were being consciously formulated. We will study this struggle over definitions of nation and self in works by men and women from different class, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Many of these writers used autobiographies or personal narratives to recount their voluntary or compulsory journeys in new and unfamiliar worlds. Their works record the contest in early America over a dominant national identity and culture, within or against which these writers negotiate their own ideas of "self."

Requirements: Midterm, final exam, weekly essay and discussion postings, one formal 5 pp. essay, and class participation. This course is web-mediated and requires daily access to WebCT via your internet browser.

American Literature II surveys American writing since the Civil War, beginning with the rise of realism, the advent of modernism, and the various postmodern movements. We study the amazing variety of responses to the American experience that arose as the country industrialized and emerged as a world power, suffered through economic depression and racial strife, and then entered the atomic age with a subsequent revolution in values. We study this literature for its style, its characteristically American themes, and its revelations of the basic qualities of the human condition.

This is a web-mediated course which means that one-third of the coursework will be completed online. In this course you will be reading nonfiction, novels, poetry, and short stories by and about contemporary Native American (American Indian) authors. We will also read a screenplay and view a film, both of which were written by Native American authors. The presence of Native American literature as a part of English department offerings has increased during the last 40 years as have other ethnic literatures, but not without an uphill struggle. Nevertheless, the Native American texts that we read in this course are an integral part of our American literary and cultural heritage as		 Angley, Patricia Rdce Time M,W 10:30AM - 11:20AM

11868 AML3930H HON SPECIAL TOPIC AML 3930H

This course focuses on the relatively understudied literature about, and by, the Apalachee, Timucua, Seminole, and Calusa tribes in Florida. Beginning with Spanish explorer and mission accounts of tribes, the course examines available translations, oral tales and legends, treaties, speeches, autobiography, prose narratives, ethnography, and fiction from the earliest points of European contact and multicultural assimilation to present day. The course integrates readings with guest speakers and field trips. Using available digital and archival resources, it also aims to immerse students in interdisciplinary research and textual analysis of documents and records. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the myriad of linguistic, philosophical, cultural, and social issues associated with being Indian in Florida from 1492 -- when Columbus discovered America-as well as in 2010.

19905 AML3930H HON SPECIAL TOPIC AML 3930H/ AMH 3930H:Captivity and the National Imagination
Honors Seminar


Dr. Lisa Logan (English) and Dr. Rosalind Beiler (History)

From Mary Rowlandson's bestselling narrative to 18th-century political cartoons; from 19th-century sculpture to 20th-century King Kong movies; and from the media frenzy around Patty Hearst to contemporary romance novels, captivity has captured the American imagination.On the surface, captivity presents readers with salacious and sensational stories of individuals held against their wills by alien cultures or creatures; beneath the bloodshed lies the story of Americas desire to define itself.
Whether responding to Native Americans, French Catholics, the British, African slaves, or disorderly women, America has consistently defined itself in relation to an imagined or perceived "other."Cultural encounters like captivity have shaped American identity since the earliest days of British colonial settlement. This course uses the history and literature of captivity as a lens through which to view the emergence of an American culture and national identity.By examining these specific moments of encounter, we will explore the politics of gender and ethnicity and the concept of American nationhood.Heavy reading; two 3-5 pp. essays; presentation; final 2-3 pp. paper/conference; participation.

We read a variety of short stories and novels from the major writers such as Jefferson, Poe, Chopin, Glasgow, Faulkner, Hurston, Williams, among many. The main text is The Norton Anthology of Southern Literature.

21767 AML4265 FLORIDA WRITERS AML 4265 Florida Writers

This class is a survey of fiction and nonfiction by Florida writers from the 1500’s to the present. We look at the major themes, genres, and writers of literature about Florida. Themes include concepts of Florida as a paradise, a paradise lost, a place to be colonized, a home, and a place for diverse populations. We investigate the ways in which Florida is American, including the relationship with nature and the influence of race, ethnicity, and gender in the literature. We define the aspects of the “Florida hero.” Readings include an anthology, The Florida Reader (O’Sullivan and Lane) which contains texts by early Spanish writers, British travelers, and several American authors. We also read novels and shorts stories from authors such as Hemingway, Rawlings, Hurston, Wolfe, Hiaasen, and Godwin.

11248 AML4300 MAJOR AMERICAN AUTHORS AML 4300-0M01 Major Author: William Faulkner

“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.”

Join me in a rigorous study of America’s most acclaimed modernist, William Faulkner. The focus will be on the fiction from Faulkner’s own “little postage stamp of native soil,” mythic Yoknapatawpha County. A native Mississippian, Faulkner captures in his fiction the crucible of race, class, and gender politics of 20th century America. He meant what he said: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

Texts will include The Sound and the Fury (Norton), Sanctuary, As I Lay Dying, Light in August [Lib. of America], Absalom, Absalom! (Vintage International [VI]), Go Down Moses and Other Stories (VI), and The Hamlet (VI). In addition, various key works of criticism, biography, and short fiction will supplement the major works. MLA Handbook 7th is required.

Aristotle, one of the earliest rhetorical theorists and teachers, defined rhetoric as the ability to find the “available means of persuasion” in a given context. During this fifteen week, web-based graduate seminar in persuasive writing, we will investigate the various components that go into persuading a particular group at a particular time to do/feel/think/believe a particular thing. In order to study rhetorical concepts and methods, we will read and discuss relevant theory, analyze public texts, and generate our own texts. The public texts we will work with focus on magical rhetoric and include texts on Disney, Madonna, and Oprah. Expect considerable amounts of reading and writing.

22376 ENG3010 PRACTICAL CRITICISM Course Description: ENG 3010: Practical Criticism


Prerequisite: satisfactory completion of ENC 1102 with a C or higher; 3 credit hours

What this course is not: This course is not an introduction to literary theory; it will not offer a survey of schools of literary criticism like New Historicism, feminism, post-structuralism, or reader-response (ENG 3014: Theories of Literature performs that function). This course is not an introduction to literature; it will not cover the “greatest hits” of poetry, fiction, and drama. What this course is: Practical Criticism is designed to give you the foundational vocabulary and skill set that will enable you to read and analyze literature in complex and nuanced (rather than in simplistic and superficial) ways. To this end, we will read and discuss selected works of literature, paying particular attention to the individual elements (e.g. imagery, tone, language, plot, character, etc.) that, together, make up the literary work of art. We will also examine examples of literary scholarship, paying attention to how the authors construct arguments about texts. This course is Web mediated, which means that you will have reduced face-to-face time and will have online assignments each week.

21395 ENG4614 DISCOURSE GLOBAL CULTRL STUDIE Special Topics: The Discourse of Global Cultural Studies


ENG 4614


Prof. Tony Grajeda

It has been said that the texts of American popular culture—in particular, pop cultural styles, aesthetics and practices —have become something of a global lingua franca, in which everyone "speaks" Madonna, McDonald's, and Mickey. But the discourse of western cultural imperialism is nothing new: the emergence of the cinema at the turn of the last century, for example, played a part in the colonialist enterprise, even as film culture gave rise to a utopian fantasy of the cinema as "visual Esperanto" — a new universal language based on images. This course will explore the latest stage of "globalization" by taking a cultural studies approach indebted to literary and cultural theory, one which examines not only the so-called Disneyfication of the world, but also those particular attempts to assimilate that culture into vernacular contexts. In other words, how and where have people both accepted and altered the textual "meaning" of Mickey? The course will introduce students to some key concepts and theoretical approaches to global cultural studies before focusing primarily on three cultural forms (cinema, television, popular music). We will analyze a range of texts from popular culture by attending to questions of transmission, translation and appropriation. To what extent does Hong Kong cinema turn Hollywood Chinese? Is "world music" a form of exoticism? How do kids in Mexico City "read" MTV?
Note: This course will be offered as an “M” (media-enhanced) course.		 Grajeda, Anthony Rdce Time M 4:30PM - 5:45PM

21397 ENG6814 GENDER IN TEXTS & TECHNOLOGY ENG 6938 Gender, Texts and Technology

This graduate seminar will explore questions about relationships among texts, science, technology, and gender. Through research students will address questions about ways in which gendered bodies are created in and through scientific languages, ways in which gender affects and is affected by technology use among individuals and within institutions, ways in which dominant psychological and economic theories create and reflect gender, and ways in which 20th and early 21st century gender theorists have deployed essentialist, constructionist, and postmodern theories to accomplish their political and intellectual goals. We will place particular emphasis on gender construction in the digital age. Our explorations will move from three launching points: postmodern gender theory, historical relationships between technology and gender, and theoretical and practical implications of these ideas for T&T scholars and practitioners.

Our course readings are complex and multi-layered. I will regularly assign in-class writing tasks to launch discussion. The texts we read will require significant study and deliberation and they are likely to raise issues that will spark controversy. I expect all students to come to class ready to participate respectfully in intellectually challenging and lively discussions that invite high-level learning. I will occasionally substitute virtual class experiences for face-to-face meetings in order to allow students to experiment with some of the technologies we will discuss.

Course Description:
How did English get this way? Why is English different in different English-speaking countries, such as England, Australia, the USA, and Canada? Why is English spelling so crazy? Where do our words come from? Who decides which kind of English is 'best'? Will English always be the main international language? What is the relationship between English and other languages, like Spanish or Chinese?
These questions and others are answered in this course, which traces the development of English from its earliest roots to an obscure dialect of Northern Europe spoken by a few thousand people to a world language spoken and used daily by hundreds of millions. We'll address the internal development of the language (sounds, aka phonology; writing, aka graphemics; grammar, aka morphology & syntax; meaning, aka semantics; spelling, aka orthography; and other points of usage). We'll also address the significant external historical events that have influenced the English language.
Because this course covers a vast amount of material, you should expect to complete dense reading assignments, two independent researched papers, numerous homework assignments, and several challenging exams.

11006 LIN4680 MODERN ENGLISH GRAMMAR LIN 4680 Modern English Grammar
Course Description:
Can you explain the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs? Between complements and objects? Between clauses and phrases? Between active and passive voice? This grammar class will teach you how.
English grammar is a fascinating subject that transcends questions such as, "Is it ok to end a sentence with a preposition?" Even the simple rules are not as simple as you might think. Experts often disagree, for example, about where to put the comma. Unfortunately, many self-appointed grammar cops know little about how the English language actually works.
It is true that if you're a native speaker of English, you're already an expert. However, this expertise is "innate"--it isn't conscious knowledge, but subconscious knowledge. In this class, you'll learn to consciously understand how your language works so you can enhance your own communication skills. Every week, you’ll be assigned a quiz and several group and individual assignments. You’ll also complete at least three exams during the semester.
Knowledge about grammar will help you as a writer or teacher in the same way that knowledge about physiology helps athletes and coaches.

Every company has at least one "grammar expert" who picks through your prose looking for errors. Your company may even expect you to be that expert. If this prospect makes you nervous, you need this course! This course will teach you the fundamentals of English grammar. You'll also learn the difference between grammatical rules and folklore rules, so that you can safely navigate tricky passages when the rules aren't clear. Please note: Writers benefit from studying grammar in the same way that athletes benefit from studying anatomy. Grammar isn't a "how to write" class any more than anatomy is a "how to play your sport" class, but knowing how English works can help you write more effectively.

21423 LIT3823 HISPANIC WOMEN WRITERS

Hispanic Women Writers

This course will survey the writing of Hispanic Women writers in a variety of genre. We'll focus on the rich cultural and literary production of Hispanic Women Writers to provide students with a broader view of how this group is enhancing literature of the Americas. Students will examine how the fiction, non-fiction and poetry created by contemporary Hispanic Women Writers express identity from diverse national origins, woman-centered and feminist perspectives. Themes to be considered include the relationships among identity/self-representation, family, friendship/ sisterhood, motherhood, beauty, voice, history, tradition, spirituality, home and the "American Dream." We will also explore how the texts challenge cultural boundaries of feminine and feminist identity.

Literature of the Bible: PR: Grade of C (2.0) or better
required in ENG 3014. Literary forms in the Bible — narrative,
poetic, and dramatic — and their reflection in modern
literature.

Literature of the Bible
The goals of this course are twofold: first, to give students a scholarly working knowledge of the Bible, and second to provide a beginning understanding of the various ways the Bible has been understood and interpreted in the last two thousand years. The first concern is a matter of cultural knowledge: the Bible is arguably the central text of Western culture and a knowledge of it is thus fundamental for any student in the humanities, irrespective of personal religious practice and belief. The second concern is a matter of discursive knowledge: quite a bit of an English major’s time is spent interpreting texts, and most of our ways of interpretation originated in techniques of biblical hermeneutics. There are two required texts: The Oxford Study Bible: The Revised English Biblewith Apocryphaand William Yarchin’s History of Biblical Interpretation.

PR: Grade of C (2.0) or better in ENC 1102H and ENG 3014.
Throughout human history, war and other forms of militarized conflict have been pervasive both within nations and across the globe. This situation continues today. In this Interdisciplinary Honors course (Representing War: Literary Perspectives) taught by Drs. Angley and Jungblut, students engage with texts (imaginative, narrative, visual, audio, historical, political, journalistic, and propagandistic) that represent multiple perspectives and experiences intersecting war. These texts provide students the opportunities critically to: explore the causes of war, investigate diverse experiences of war, and analyze the aftermath – and consequences – of war. The texts – along with the class discussions, reaction/reflection papers, and semester projects – encourage students to think about the relevance of war to our lives.

21735 LIT6938 SPECIAL TOPICS Teaching College Literature

“[The student’s] taste should not be consulted; it is being formed.” Flannery O’Connor

Even before Greek ceased to be part of the curriculum, how to educate has been debated and the collapse of the academy has been predicted. Standards seem to have never not been declining and the constant is the undervalued teacher. Recent books on the academy favor words like “ruins,” “failing,” and “clueless.” At some point, the text went missing and public universities erected their own golden arches and students checked out—happy or unhappy customers of their educational product.

After exploring the historical literary and professional debates, we will investigate some pedagogical theories and identify practical techniques for teaching literature in the college classroom. Some questions will govern our explorations: What roles do authority and integrity play when teaching literature? How do we prepare to teach a literary work? What should happen as we teach?

The course will be anchored by “the anxieties” Elaine Showalter takes up in Teaching Literature (Blackwell). Beyond the selected literary specimens, students will read extensively in works by critics and practioners like Barzun, Graff, Hall, hooks, Kolodny, Lauter, Scholes, and many others).

There will be an opportunity to develop and test a lesson plan, problematize interpretation, debate grading practices, examine the trauma of syllabi development, and survive student insurrection.
