Additional Information
This course considers texts that grapple with the terror of Earth-bound existence in the age of climate change, also called the Anthropocene. Parsing the aesthetic, political, ethical, and environmental effects of writing in the genre of “ecohorror,” we will ask: How are artists reckoning with the escalating and frightening presence of the other-than-human? What are the advantages and disadvantages of representing the biosphere darkly—not as a benevolent “Mother Earth” but as a vengeful and inescapable force? Reorienting the environmentalist rhetoric of “saving the planet,” we will analyze short stories, novels, and films that represent life in myriad forms fighting back against the most dangerous species of all: us.

"Apocalypse" is the end of the world—or ourselves—but it also introduces new forms of being, desire and knowledge. In this course we'll analyze apocalyptic fantasies by writing critical essays: a skill (and art) that crosses disciplines. Course material includes the cult novel that inspired zombie apocalypse movies (I am Legend, by Richard Matheson); two accounts of apocalyptic desire (Mulholland Drive by David Lynch and Nathaniel West’s Day of the Locust) and three works staging the collapse of mundane reality (Allen Ginsberg's Howl, Art Spiegelman's graphic-novel adaption of Paul Auster's City of Glass, and Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House).

Reading will focus on contemporary essayists, possibly including Leslie Jamison, Claudia Rankine, Eula Biss, Hilton Als, and John Jeremiah Sullivan; 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.

What is addiction in the 21st century? The substances of addiction have changed throughout history, but so too has our definition of addiction, who can be addicted, and how we should treat it. This course will examine addiction through an assortment of different media texts, from science fiction films to documentaries to Snapchat. We will analyze movies such as The Social Network, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Her as well as television shows like Breaking Bad, hook-up apps like Tinder, and popular video games like League of Legends. By the end of the course, we will create our own definitions of addiction that adequately address the dangers as well as possible benefits of addictive media.

We hear the term identity politics all the time, but why is the self so politicized when everyone has one? In this course, we will consider the self as a body, a part in a system, and a tool for change. By looking at various works by writers such as Gloria Anzaldua, Richard Rodriguez, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Sherman Alexie, and others, we will critically reflect upon what it means to be a person in a body full of intersections, and discuss ethnicity, class, race, gender, nation, and religion to examine ourselves. Through personal essays, we will engage in self-inquiry, self-discovery, and self-invention to raise important questions about who we are and who we can.

What does it mean to say you’re hungry for something? This course explores the joyful and the dark sides of eating and traces how food informs the ways in which we ingest the world, particularly the parts of it unfamiliar to us. We will consider how the meeting of food, word, and image inform larger social categories and reflect on the way food affects how we think about others, putting it in conversation with literature, art, current events, film, imperialism, and history. Possible texts include Monique Truong's The Book of Salt, art by Kara Walker, Kyla Wazana Tompkins’ Racial Indigestion, the Iroquois White Corn Project, fiction by Chimamanda Adiche, The Search for General Tso, Greek myths, and Rabindranath Tagore’s “Hungry Stones.”

Good investigative journalists write well and use their reportage to argue effectively. How can we adopt features of their writing for a variety of purposes and audiences, academic and popular? Our weekly readings will include features from the New Yorker, The Atlantic, slate.com, and the New York Times, among others. Students will write essays of opinion and argument—in such forms as news analysis, investigative writing, blog posts, and op-ed pieces—on topics such as environmental justice, the value of an elite education, human rights conflicts, the uses of technology, gender equality, and the ethics of journalism itself. Coursework will include an independently researched project on a subject of the student's choosing.

How have contemporary American writers engaged with the personal essay to respond to the last fifty years of American history and culture? And what importance might we ascribe to the personal essay in current American social and intellectual milieus? In this course we will read essays by such authors as James Baldwin, Joan Didion, Rebecca Solnit, Teju Cole, and Yiyun Li that consider the complexities of place, culture, race, and art. Through class discussion, composing personal essays, and collaborative writing workshops, students will explore how the personal essay's various forms and foci are inflected by the interplay between socio-historical moment and authorial intention.

Additional Information
Length is what we make of it, or what we have time to make of it, while “epic” seems to be defined by what it makes of us. In this seminar we’ll play with 20th and 21st century long poems in a variety of modes, from lyric sequences to serial epics, charting their forms and attempting to expand our sense of their functions. We’ll pay special attention to ways in which modern and contemporary long poems engage with particular places and local cultures while situating themselves in cosmopolitan space. How do long poems make the extended temporality of reading and writing an active part of their formal apparatus? Our reach will be global: poems from the U.S., Ireland, England, Canada, the Caribbean, India, and Africa.
