    Toni Morrison uses a metaphor from a folk tale as the title for her fourth novel, Tar Baby. The core narrative, a fraught love affair set on a Caribbean island, extends the scope of Morrison’s treatment of class, race, gender, and geography—as well as the phenomenon of romantic love—beyond any of her previous works. Following courses on Morrison’s first three novels offered over the past three academic years, this course will consider Tar Baby within the context of the author’s full body of work. An additional feature of the course will be the introduction of Morrison’s 2011 play Desdemona (a commentary on Shakespeare’s Othello), which will be performed as part of Cornell’s celebration of the 30th anniversary of Morrison’s Nobel Prize for Literature.

    On the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 2016, the New York Times published a video tribute that called the author not only “a literary titan” but also “a literary termite.” Shakespeare is everywhere, whether we like it or not, burrowing his way into our books, movies, and TV commercials long after his death. This course will focus on the ways in which Shakespeare continues to reappear in modern media to consider the question: is Shakespeare still relevant? Is there something exceptional about Shakespeare, or is he just an overused namedrop on our English syllabi? Major texts and films may include: Maqbool (2003), Romeo + Juliet (1996), The Prince of Cats (2012), and the HBO series Succession (2018).

  •  4743 ENGL 2880   SEM 102

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    From medieval European crusading poems to the reboot of Activision’s Call of Duty franchise, Western society’s perpetual “call of duty” has continually reimagined links between militancy, masculinity, and feelings. This course will examine cultural messages about what masculinity “feels” like, what men are “supposed” to do with their feelings, and what place feelings have in Western crusading culture. Exploring texts featuring men and feelings on and off the battlefield from medieval poetry, video games, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and DC and Marvel, we’ll explore connections between gender, race, war, peace, and feelings. Maintaining a critical eye for propaganda, recruitment tactics, and military-funded media production, we’ll investigate Western cultural investments in linking masculinity and feelings and how our own media consumption potentially reinforces toxic standards.

    This class will explore unique new ways that we have adapted to tell stories in the 21st century. Though technology from the pen to the printing press has long shaped how we tell stories, the last few decades of digital revolution have transformed communication more swiftly and insistently than ever before. How has globalized communication and the immediacy of information shaped ideas about art, culture, science, and politics? How do different forms of media demand different methods for communicating? What is lost or gained when we move away from the printed page? Students will write essays for various audiences analyzing media including audiobooks, video essays, alternate reality games (ARGS), and fiction and poetry published on social media apps such as Instagram and Reddit.

Reading will focus on contemporary essayists, possibly including Leslie Jamison, Eula Biss, and Alexander Chee; we will also read older essays, including those of Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, and James Baldwin. We will also pay close attention to students' writing, with workshop feedback. Working through drafts, students will develop fuller skill at criticism and revision.

  • 20525 ENGL 2880   SEM 105

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    A century ago, Great Britain ruled the largest empire in the history of the world. By 1960, the vast majority of that empire was independent, and the USA was the world's most powerful country—yet Britain still seemed to be everywhere. In pop music (starting with the Beatles), spy stories (James Bond), fantasy fiction (The Lord of the Rings), and costume dramas (Jane Austen any way you want her), the global Anglosphere kept buying "Britain." In this class, we will inquire about the nature of the "special relationship" between Britain and the US and the role mass culture plays in it. Readings will be drawn from popular culture, literary fiction, and theories of global power, and student writing will reflect sophisticated engagement with this material.
