Can a story take down a system? Under what conditions? This class 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?”

Science fiction writers build whole new social systems, and questions of how to govern these new societies inevitably come up. Ought this robot be considered a legal person? Does this cool new policing tactic infringe our rights? Should earth laws apply in space? In this course, we'll consider how such legal topics as personhood, equality, and criminality arise in science fiction and in real cases, and how issues of gender, race, labor, and policing and punishment are complicated by technology in our own world.

Sweeping vistas. Dark canyons. A cowboy hero, and---the Vietnam War? Epic Westerns shape the legendary landscape of the American West and dramatize individual and collective efforts to establish national values. At the same time, they track the way those values change over time, reflecting contemporary cultural or political events, e.g. the antiwar movement, feminism, the nation's bicentennial. Looking at recent political struggles, we'll discover what history Western narratives engage, and what they obscure.

This course examines the dialogue between romantic and political narratives, tracing the ways they interrupt, galvanize, or complement each other. We will bring together fictions of love's sway over the self and through reviews and critical essays, we'll examine what happens when romance is placed at the heart of tales of empire, migration, reunion, and revolt.

Additional Information
A study of the impact of imaginative innovation in literary history—what triggers the creation of new literary genres; how is creativity shaped to convey new meanings; how does novelty enter into the literary tradition to become convention? We will apply these questions to a varied selection of works, each of which plays a distinctive role in "making it new" in English literature. As we consider works from slave narrative to Gothic fiction, travel literature, the erotic novel, and manners fiction, we will define the distinctive incentives for innovation and consider common forms of novelty across a range of imaginative experiences. Texts include: Behn, Oroonoko; Defoe, Robinson Crusoe; Richardson, Pamela; Fielding, Joseph Andrews; Lewis, The Monk; Cleland, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure; and Burney, Evelina. This course may be used as one of the three pre-1800 courses required of English majors.

Additional Information
The trafficking in people and narcotics has held the attention of American writers and visual artists for more than three centuries. In this course we will read broadly to consider how various forms of trafficking and stories of captivity and treasure hunting help tell the story of contemporary culture. Drawing from decolonial studies, as well as systems and assemblage theories, this course will analyze TV series such as Weeds and The Wire as well as films, narcocorridos, novels, legal cases, and visual artworks in which the subject of traffic and trafficking play an important role. Artists and authors may include Junot Diaz, Alan Ginsberg, Sandra Cisneros, Frederick Douglass, Karen Tei Yamashita, and Faith Ringgold.
