Class Description:

The emphasis of this class will be on close reading. However, since it is titled "textual interpretation," we will also investigate what it might mean to read textually. As a concept, "text" emerged to challenge the notion of the (original) "work" of literature written by an author; and "reading" as an alternative to "interpretation." So we will necessarily interrogate these terms: literature, work, author, reading, interpretation and text, as well as others critical to the task of reading. Our discussions, as the syllabus should suggest, will be somewhat theoretical. But the primary focus of the class will be on reading fiction.


Who Should Take This Class?:
Anyone who has ever been accused of reading into something too much. Anyone who has frantically called up Sparknotes in response to an essay question about symbolism, motif, or theme. Anyone who has puzzled in front of a piece of modern art, desperately seeking a placard or tour guide to give you a clue. Anyone who often finds themselves drawn to the subtles or connections in art of literature that others overlook. Anyone interested!

Class Description:
How do we read? The question may seem ridiculous at the surface, but for literary studies reading is much more than simply taking in the visual information on the page. Rather, reading can also be a practice of careful looking, sustained attention, and curiosity developed through observation and interaction with a text. Our class will explore how these close readings are approached and how such readings form the basis of literary analysis. We follow Jacques Derrida's assertion, "everything is a text...," to read various media including art, film, poetry, criticism and literature. In so doing, we aim to understand how our practices of close reading make meaning.
