This course will introduce both a variety of writings by Asian North American authors and some critical issues concerning the production and reception of Asian American texts. Working primarily with novels, we will be asking questions about the relation between literary forms and the sociohistorical context within which they take on their meanings, and about the historical formation of Asian American identities.

Through detailed analysis of at least 15 of Hitchcock’s major films—from British silents such as Blackmail and the British talkies of the ’30s (The Thirty-Nine Steps) to the early ’40s work in Hollywood (Spellbound, Notorious), and major American films of his late period (Rear Window, Psycho)—we will consider Hitchcock as a major technical and stylistic innovator in the history of cinema. As texts for psychoanalytic and feminist approaches to study, his films invite questions about film language, the ethics of spectatorship, and the nature of desire and sexuality. Frequent short essays and viewing exercises encourage students to engage through their writing the course’s critical concerns. Regular required screenings after class. Enrollment limited to twenty. Preference given to Film and English majors.

This course will introduce students to the African-American literary tradition. Through aesthetic and contextual approaches, we will consider how African-American life and culture has defined and constituted the United States of America. From slave narratives to Hip-Hop music, we will trace the range of artistic conventions and cultural movements while paying close attention to broader historical shifts in American life over the past three centuries. We will ask: How do authors create and define a tradition? What are some of the recurring themes and motifs within this tradition? Authors will include: Phillis Wheatley, David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neal Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and Paul Beatty.

Nearly half a century ago, the civil rights movement, the Cold War and the Vietnam War stimulated critiques and alternative experiments in living that changed American society forever. What can the experiences of young “boomers” and others who lived through the 1960s teach a later generation living through a similar period of turmoil and hope? This interdisciplinary course combines an historical overview with the close reading of texts, concentrating on the topics of racial justice, war, the counterculture, the New Left, the women’s movement, and the movement for gay and lesbian rights. Texts will include The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Wolfe’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-5, music of Dylan and Joplin, speeches of King, films, manifestos, memoirs, and poems. A research paper will explore the history of activism at Cornell during those years.

Reading lists vary from section to section, and some may include a novel, but close, attentive, and imaginative reading and writing are central to all.

What can reading poetry teach us about writing critical essays? How can we become more perceptive and critical readers of poetry, and also better prose writers? This course deals with a rich variety of poems, including sonnets, odes, sestinas, villanelles, and songs. By engaging in discussions and working with varied writing assignments, we will explore major modes and genres of English poetry, learn about versification techniques, rhetorical strategies, and thematic and topical concerns. In the process, we will expand the possibilities of our own writing.

Although Scotland, which was long a separate nation, is now politically united with England, it preserves its distinctiveness. This course provides an introduction to Scottish literature, with special emphasis on the medieval period and the 18th through the 20th centuries. The course should appeal to those who wish to learn about their Scottish heritage, and also those who simply wish to encounter a remarkable national culture and the literature it has produced. Some of the texts will be read in Scots, but no familiarity with Scots or earlier English is presumed. We welcome readers of literature who are not English majors.
