- Comparative studies of oral traditions, modern literature from various tribal cultures.
- Class Description:
- How do you creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing cultures of Europe and Euroamerica? In this course we examine how a select group of American Indian writers creatively respond to the experience of colonization in the narratives they imagine. This question is not aimed exclusively at American Indian writers though, nor is it even more generally aimed only at Indian people. Rather this question about colonization is aimed at everyone living here now: How do you (you sitting there reading this statement) creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing culture of Euroamerica? This course invites you to think about this question and this writing, even if you never have before. In class discussions we will examine how various writers approach this question and we will familiarize ourselves with the ideas, themes, and tools Native writers use through close readings of their works. In addition to examining the works we will also examine ways the various works ask us to consider and reconsider our own experiences of living in North America. Your responses to the works and our guiding question will be explored, examined, and developed in class discussions, a variety of short writing assignments, and in a final research essay. You will read four or five books for the course as well as a half-dozen or so short readings. As the course is Writing-Intensive you will also do about 40 pages of writing.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- Undergraduates
- Learning Objectives:
- Understand diverse philosophies and cultures within and across societies How addressed? Students complete three critical papers, including the final research project, which explore the themes of Native writing both within the works and how students can apply those ideas to the analysis of an event or ?text? in their own experience in order to think and write about how Native American ideas about story and colonialism can be used to think about issues of race and justice in the United States.Understand the role of creativity, innovation, discovery, and expression across disciplines. How addressed? Students are introduced to the idea that literature, a creative art, is an important means to thinking about the world. It is not just ?art for art?s sake,? but is rather a means to critically engage with critical questions of life in the United States. Questions of social justice demand creative thinking and literature, no less than political thought or historical investigation, is a means to think about and address historical injustices as well as a means to recognize and advance the course of justice. In their final project, students are encouraged to think literarily and write narratively, applying the thematic ideas about colonialism and decolonization met in the course readings and use them to think about some event (historical or contemporary) or cultural text/experience in the student?s life.
- Grading:
- 80% Reports/Papers
20% Quizzes - Exam Format:
- Papers are assessed using a rubric created by faculty teaching the course to assess content (the critical use of material cited from course readings), clarity (mechanical, grammatical, and organizational) of the writing, and critical insight that students develop into the readings and their analysis of them.The final project is assessed on a rubric that evaluates the depth of research of the project, the clarity with which course themes are articulated as a means of contextualizing the analyzed event/text, and the readibility of the narrative presentation of the analysis (or, perhaps more simply, the creativity of their presentation of their research and critical insights).

- Class Description:
- How do you creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing cultures of Europe and Euroamerica? In this course we examine how a select group of American Indian writers creatively respond to the experience of colonization in the narratives they imagine. This question is not aimed exclusively at American Indian writers though, nor is it even more generally aimed only at Indian people. Rather this question about colonization is aimed at everyone living here now: How do you (you sitting there reading this statement) creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing culture of Euroamerica? This course invites you to think about this question and this writing, even if you never have before. In class discussions we will examine how various writers approach this question and we will familiarize ourselves with the ideas, themes, and tools Native writers use through close readings of their works. In addition to examining the works we will also examine ways the various works ask us to consider and reconsider our own experiences of living in North America. Your responses to the works and our guiding question will be explored, examined, and developed in class discussions, a variety of short writing assignments, and in a final research essay. You will read four or five books for the course as well as a half-dozen or so short readings. As the course is Writing-Intensive you will also do about 40 pages of writing.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- Undergraduates
- Learning Objectives:
- Understand diverse philosophies and cultures within and across societies How addressed? Students complete three critical papers, including the final research project, which explore the themes of Native writing both within the works and how students can apply those ideas to the analysis of an event or ?text? in their own experience in order to think and write about how Native American ideas about story and colonialism can be used to think about issues of race and justice in the United States.Understand the role of creativity, innovation, discovery, and expression across disciplines. How addressed? Students are introduced to the idea that literature, a creative art, is an important means to thinking about the world. It is not just ?art for art?s sake,? but is rather a means to critically engage with critical questions of life in the United States. Questions of social justice demand creative thinking and literature, no less than political thought or historical investigation, is a means to think about and address historical injustices as well as a means to recognize and advance the course of justice. In their final project, students are encouraged to think literarily and write narratively, applying the thematic ideas about colonialism and decolonization met in the course readings and use them to think about some event (historical or contemporary) or cultural text/experience in the student?s life.

Rather this question about colonization is aimed at everyone living here now: How do you (you sitting there reading this statement) creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing culture of Euroamerica? This course invites you to think about this question and this writing, even if you never have before. In class discussions we will examine how various writers approach this question and we will familiarize ourselves with the ideas, themes, and tools Native writers use through close readings of their works. In addition to examining the works we will also examine ways the various works ask us to consider and reconsider our own experiences of living in North America. Your responses to the works and our guiding question will be explored, examined, and developed in class discussions, a variety of short writing assignments, and in a final research essay. You will read four or five books for the course as well as a half-dozen or so short readings. As the course is Writing-Intensive you will also do about 40 pages of writing.

Your responses to the works and our guiding question will be explored, examined, and developed in class discussions, a variety of short writing assignments, and in a final research essay. You will read four or five books for the course as well as a half-dozen or so short readings. As the course is Writing-Intensive you will also do about 40 pages of writing.

- Class Description:
- How do you creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing cultures of Europe and Euroamerica? In this course we examine how a select group of American Indian writers creatively respond to the experience of colonization in the narratives they imagine. This question is not aimed exclusively at American Indian writers though, nor is it even more generally aimed only at Indian people. Rather this question about colonization is aimed at everyone living here now: How do you (you sitting there reading this statement) creatively respond to the transformations and deformations introduced into Native America by the colonizing culture of Euroamerica? This course invites you to think about this question and this writing, even if you never have before. In class discussions we will examine how various writers approach this question and we will familiarize ourselves with the ideas, themes, and tools Native writers use through close readings of their works. In addition to examining the works we will also examine ways the various works ask us to consider and reconsider our own experiences of living in North America.
