CL-1 Writing and Rhetoric  (New 4.00 credit hours)

Great Books (New)

This course Provides an introduction to the study of literature and culture in English through close readings of texts commonly held to be masterpieces. This course will consider the development of great literary works in relation to the social, cultural, political and artistic movements from which they evolved, and their subsequent contribution to the culture of the English speaking world ( in contradistinction to other cultural contexts). As not all notable texts are considered masterpieces at the moment they first appear, the course ponders the question how does literature become " great", and what cultural forces work upon texts to enable them to acquire this status? What are the criteria for literary greatness? Is greatness a relative concept? Who gets to choose what great means? What is the impact of literary greatness on the cultural history of a society? The course also provides students with the rudimentary tolls of literary criticism through the introduction of basic concepts such as form, voice, genre, and style, and to techniques and strategies of reading such as historiographic reading.

Literature and Technology (New)

In this course, we will study how technology has influenced literature over the course of history. Literature always finds itself both immersed in technology (in that technologies are used to produce the books and stories we read) and commenting on it (in the content of those books and stories). We will consider forms of literature as models of innovation, and we will think about how literature can turn our attention to the effects or future of technology, as in the genre of science fiction. In science fiction and elsewhere, literature often asks us to reflect critically on ideas of progress and newness that ordinarily accompany technological change.

This course will introduce students to the vast field of literary representations of war from the Bible and Homer to the literature of 9/11. As old and as varied as the history of literature itself, the literature of war crosses time periods, national traditions, and genres. Moreover, the theme of war gives us a way to study the relationship between literature and philosophy, literature and other arts (such as painting, photography, cinema, and music), and literature and technology. However, the definition of 'war' has changed dramatically over time and continues to change. Accordingly, this course will approach the study of literature and war by examining these changes, seeing how shifts in the structure of war can alter our experience of time and space, self and other, friend and enemy, nation and people, public and private, love and death, and war and peace, just to name a few. Finally, we will consider how literary representations of war might themselves constitute an attempt to find alternatives to war.

Our course will investigate intersections of literature and environment, generating insights into the significance of nature through the study of literary works and contexts. As nature is a grand concept with deep historical roots and wide geographical spread, our course will focus on literary materials drawn from a range of temporal, geographical, and cultural perspectives. The course will feature discussion in lecture of ecocriticism, which refers to a range of critical approaches to interrelating literary phenomena and environmental contexts. Students will cultivate literary critical skills both by looking closely at individual works, and by comparing such works with other examples of literary approaches to nature.
