- How can we read/understand different ways that literature is meaningful? Emphasizes practice in reading a broad spectrum of world literature, literary theory.
- Class Description:
How does personal experience shape the writing - and reading - of literature? How can literature change how we see ourselves, each other, and the world? This summer, CSCL1401 is organized around autobiographical writing across genres (poetry, memoir, fiction, and criticism) with readings by such contemporary writers as John Ashbery, Teju Cole, Maggie Nelson, and Ocean Vuong, as well as selections from Saint Augustine, Frederick Douglass, Marcel Proust, and more. We'll consider the power of autobiographical writing to document experience and challenge oppression. We'll also ask what the evolution of different media has meant for literature: what's the difference between a memoir written on paper and poem that appears on Instagram? What does personal narrative mean in the age of social media? Through close readings and creative approaches to critical writing, we'll answer these questions, ask new ones, and cultivate skills for thinking across a range of disciplines.
This course fulfills LITR WI requirements.

- Class Description:
- CSCL 1401W Reading Literature: Theory and Practice 4 credits, meets Lib Ed req of Literature Core; meets Lib Ed req of Writing Intensive Instructor: STAFF Description: What is Literature? How do definitions of it differ over time and across cultures? How does literature play a role in the ways people see themselves and others? How do our histories - personal and cultural - determine how we read it? CSCL 1401W examines such questions in relation to larger patterns of culture and power. You'll emerge from the course with a solid sense of the differences among various genres, and the cultural contexts from which they arise - between an epic poem emerging from a Greek city state and a novel by a German civil servant, say. Small classes emphasize close reading, discussion, and practice in critical writing. An introductory course in every sense, it will give you a good sense of the field of Comparative Literature as well as reading and writing skills useful in many other courses and disciplines. Class Time: 40% lecture, 60% discussion
