  • Selective Readings of Contemporary Literary Theories: Signification, Identity and Culture/3 credits/Dr. Kate Liu

This course is designed for you to achieve three goals:

1) critical reading of both primary and secondary theoretical texts to get a general understanding of important contemporary literary theories,
2) engagement in theoretical issues (such as text and textuality, canon formation, interpretation, ideology, discourse, identity, power relations, etc.) as they arise from our reading of the primary texts, and 
3) analyzing literary texts from different theoretical perspectives with an awareness of the limitations of each. 

Modern and Contemporary Critical Theories form quite a complicated network of discourses which cannot be clearly divided into different camps, nor lined up in a chronological order. Instead, in between different theoretical schools, there are intersections and appropriation, contradictions and negotiations, not to mention convergence of different schools in a later theoretical school, or re-visiting or discovery of earlier theorists. Different maps can be drawn of this theoretical terrain, just as different routes can be taken by students to enter, struggle with and get intellectually engaged in the theoretical issues.

Since there are many possible routes and many possible combinations, I am open to your suggestions of which schools, theorists or texts to include. If one fourth of the students registered (or more than two) have similar interests, I will definitely accommodate them in our course. The other suggestions will also be put into consideration. Tentatively, I choose Structuralism, Poststructuralism, Feminism, and then the topic of Body. But all of the above choices can be changed or modified if you desire so. 

Requirements:
In this course, you will be responsible for:
1) active participation in class and on the internet,
2) a 30-minute report on a theoretical text with an outline ready for online publication,
3) a 30-minute report on how a certain theory can be "critiqued" by, "used" on, or articulated with another literary or theoretical text. 
4) a term paper of both theoretical discussion and literary application.

  • 18th century English Narrative/3 credits/Fr. Daniel Bauer

The 18th century was a time of tremendous growth for the literary genre we now call the English novel. Lengthy narratives began to appear with increasing frequency from the early part of the century, and English reading audiences responded with warm enthusiasm. 

Our course in 18th century English narrative will focus on several of the most popular and important of the novels that set the stage for many of the writers who later became household names in the 1800s, such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, the Bronte sisters, and so on.

We will begin with a brief study of a portion of Samuel Richardson's Clarissa. Then we will share an in depth view of Daniel DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, and of Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews. We will study portions of Fielding's Tom Jones and Laurence Sterne's immortal Tristram Shandy.

Students can expect to write regular reflective journals on the texts and class discussions, as well as a 15 page research paper, due during the final exam week. There are no exams. Course methodology will be mostly lecture and student based discussion.

  • Topics in American Literature and Painting/3 credits/Dr. Joseph Murphy

This interdisciplinary course will examine relationships between American literature and painting from the early nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. Our goal will be to study some important writers and painters from this era and to bring verbal and visual texts into dialogue, in order to expose lines of influence and shared cultural and social contexts. We will explore the representation of landscape, daily life, and the individual, as well as such movements as romanticism, realism, impressionism, and modernism. Writers will likely include James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Gertrude Stein, and William Carlos Williams. Probable painters on the syllabus are Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, George Inness, John Singer Sargent, John Sloan, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Edward Hopper. The course will make extensive use of web resources in American painting. Requirements: two presentations (one about a literary text, one about painting); and two essays of moderate length (5-7 pages), each exploring some specific relationship between literature and painting. Students will also be required to write a short analysis of a painting (based upon one of their presentations or essays) for publication on the Fu Jen English Department website Sublime Online: Teaching American Literature through Painting.
