ENGL 397   TOPICS IN LITERATURE: SEX AND CLASS IN T Credits 3.00  Spring 01
* DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I
The eighteenth century witnessed an epochal shift in attitudes towards both
social and sexual categorization. This course will examine this transformation
as it is registered and worked out in the diverse literature of the period. Our
aim will be twofold: 1) to track the emergence of the standard of "class" as it
first begins to challenge and infiltrate a social order traditionaly stratified
in terms of rank and status, and 2) to examine the emergence of the notion of
sexual "diffrence" as it first begins to challenge a sexual order stratified
terms of hierarchy. Our motivating question will be ask why, as status is
de-essentialized, is sex naturalized for the first time? what are the political
effects of these transformations: In what wyas might the early modern
reconception of social status against an economic ground illuminate the
reconception of sex agianst a biological ground and vie versa? Are emergent
sexual and socioeconomic ideologies interwined? Our interest throughout will be
to approach literary producitons as instruments of cultural activity and to
examine the kinds of cultural work that they perform. Texts will include
poetic, dramatic, imaginative, and nonfiction works by such writers as Samuel
Butler, Lord Rochester, Aphra Behn, Daniel Defoe, Delariviere Manley, John
Locke, Mary Astell, Judith Drake, Alexander Pope, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu,
Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Samuel Richardson, and Henry Fielding. Also
offered as WGST 408.

ENGL 532   ENLIGHTENMENT INSTITUTIONS               Credits 3.00  Spring 01
This seminar will examine how the literature of the early English Enlightenment
provided a foundation for both modernity and postmodernity.  We will attempt to
situate the literary and cultural politics of the Enlightenment--from a
rejection of tradition to a disavowel of the modern--in a number of its
important "institutions": liberalism, conservatism, feminism, party politics,
sex/gender, class, capitalist ideology, colonialism, "authorship," and the
aesthetic.  Authors will include Rochester, Dryden. Behn, Astell, Manley, Pope,
Gay, Swift, Loke, Hume, Addison, Mandeville, Burke, Johnson, Smith, and others.

ENGL 594   GLOBALIZATION AND ITS DISCONTENTS        Credits 3.00  Spring 01
This course reviews a range of critical, historical and fictional texts that
address issues of globalization and transnationality.  On the one hand, we will
focus on various strategies of narrating identity, nation, sexuality, labor and
community when older models of understanding are no longer adequate in the
diffused manipulations of a "new world order."  On the other hand, we will
address the future of "English Novel" by looking at both as modes of writing as
well as  institutions.  Through a close reading of postcolonial and global
fictions that reenact and displace the boundaries that conventionally organize
literary study, we will ask how the forces of colonialism, immigration and
globalization impact the production of knowledge within the humanities.
