Schlemm, S
Additional Information
In ancient myths, humans are transformed into animals, plants, and other shapes and states of being. Why do such stories haunt us in the digital age? How fluid are our own identities, and are we capable of metamorphoses of our own? To answer these questions, we will discuss contemporary ideas about gender, sexuality, epigenetics, legal personhood, digital lives, and creative autobiography. We will also develop expository writing skills through a wide range of assignments. Course materials may include LeGuin's novel The Left Hand of Darkness, films such as Aronofsky's Black Swan and Hitchcock's Vertigo, scientific journal articles, Supreme Court opinions, and other cutting-edge theories of what it means to be human - and maybe more.

Additional Information
We trust documentary films to portray the “real” world, yet engaged viewers understand that reality looks different from different perspectives, and documentaries have the power to shape and alter the truth in the process of reporting on it. In this course you'll practice critical reading and viewing, paying close attention to how recent documentaries construct, maintain, reimagine, and/or challenge our understanding of the world and of ourselves. In discussion and writing, we'll consider the ethics and politics of representation and the question of who speaks for whom. Films may include Grizzly Man, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Stories We Tell, Citizenfour, Cameraperson, and The Act of Killing, as well as adjacent genres like reality television and mockumentary.

Can a story take down a system? Under what conditions? This course will examine the role of the personal narrative as a political weapon. We will analyze the impact of art on the sociopolitical landscape through the works of James Baldwin, Adrienne Rich, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Rebecca Solnit, and many others. We will then interrogate our own biases, assumptions, desires, relationships, and fears in order to write the self into a global context. The essays we craft will confront the intersections of political and personal trauma, history and family, identity and theory. Ultimately, we will ponder: Do our stories matter? Why or why not?

Additional Information
A century ago, Britain ruled the largest empire in the history of the world. By 1960, most of that empire was independent; yet Britain still seems to be everywhere. Instead of troops, plantations, and the King James Bible, the U.K. now exports itself. In pop music (The Beatles), fantasy fiction (Harry Potter), comedy (Monty Python’s Flying Circus), spies (James Bond), science fiction (Doctor Who), and costume dramas by the score (Jane Austen any way you want her), we keep buying Britain. What is Britishness, anyway? How did this small island hold on to its outsized cultural influence? And what role did its former colony, the USA, play in this process?

What if the Axis powers had won World War II? What if the Great Depression had never ended? What if single-sex societies had evolved through reproductive innovation? Speculative fiction plays with such possibilities and can present us with new pasts, opening up new presents and futures. We'll read a range of alternative histories such as Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle, Joanna Russ’s The Female Man, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and James Tiptree, Jr.’s “Backward, Turn Backward,” exploring the mechanisms that make these strange tales possible and bringing them into conversation with theoretical texts on psychoanalysis and trauma theory. Essays and class discussions will ask: why are such alternatives so alluring?

We’ll read essays exploring race (James Baldwin), gender (Rebecca Solnit), politics (George Saunders), culture (Roland Barthes), sexuality (Maggie Nelson), television (David Foster Wallace), and philosophy (Albert Camus). In our writing, we will use our personal experiences to explore what forces shape us, what roles we play, how we are coping, and more—always with a eye on craft.

Additional Information
Taking its inspiration from David Hume's famous remark that "reason ought only to be the slave of the passions," this course will consider the Enlightenment's "science of human nature" as a drama of competing psychologies of the passions. We’ll consider how the priority accorded the passion of self-preservation or life, the body, and the sexual and acquisitive drives subverted traditional ethics and was countervailed by compassion, sympathy, and other sentiments. Through short stories, novels, moral and political tracts, and theoretical work, we’ll address such topics as the "marriage contract" and the gender politics of the family; love and benevolence in relation to law and obligation; pornography as materialist science and sentimental-sexual education; suffering, sympathy, and justice.

A thorough episode-by-episode study of the art and meaning of the most influential book of the twentieth century, James Joyce’s Ulysses. The emphasis is on the joy and fun of reading this wonderful and often playful masterwork. We shall place Ulysses in the context of Joyce’s writing career, Irish culture, and literary modernism. We shall explore the relationship between Ulysses and other experiments in modernism—including painting and sculpture—and show how Ulysses redefines the concepts of epic, hero, and reader. We shall examine Ulysses as a political novel, including Joyce’s response to Yeats and the Celtic Renaissance; Joyce’s role in the debate about the direction of Irish politics after Parnell; and Joyce’s response to British colonial occupation of Ireland. We shall also consider Ulysses as an urban novel in which Bloom, the marginalized Jew and outsider, is symptomatic of the kind of alienation created by nativist xenophobia.

Additional Information
Rituals – tools of oppression/control or for resisting oppression/control, depending – figure in academia, and may inhabit the forms and practices people bring to their writing, reading, research, interactions. While some practices may change us, for better or worse, maybe we can change some practices. After I introduce the seminar’s method and madness with readings (by scholars of religious studies and anthropology, practitioners of rituals, and some poems and fiction that relate or may be related to an aspect of ritual practice) as well as prompts for exploring aspects of ritual practice in writing, I’m handing over the wheel, and participants will assign readings and design prompts to help us understand and inhabit ritual practice among different dimensions and perspectives.
