Cornell University - SPAN 6310 Subjectivity in the Slave Narrative

This seminar will begin with a close reading of Hegel’s section on self-consciousness, especially the sub-sections “Lordship and Bondage” and “Stoicism, Skepticism, and the Unhappy Consciousness” from Phenomenology of Spirit, and continue with selected chapters from Judith Butler’s The Psychic Life of Power. We will follow these readings with an examination of interpretations of Hegel’s theory of the subject in selected readings from W. E. B. Du Bois (The Souls of Black Folk); Orlando Patterson (Slavery and Social Death); Paul Gilroy (The Black Atlantic); Howard McGary and Bill E. Lawson (Between Slavery and Freedom); Susan Buck-Morss (Hegel and Haiti); and Ian Baucom (Specters of the Atlantic). The slave narratives that we will examine include Olaudah Equiano’s The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Juan Francisco Manzano’s Autobiofrafia de un esclavo, R. R. Madden’s translation of Manzano’s writings, Frederick Douglass’ Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave; and Mary Prince’s The History of Mary Prince: A West Indian Slave Related By Herself. We will also read “fictionalized” narratives of the experience of enslavement such as, Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s Sab, Anselmo Suárez y Romero’s Francisco, Antonio Zambrana’s El negro Francisco, and Miguel Barnet’s more contemporary Biografia de un cimarrón. This seminar will not focus on how the selected slave narratives seamlessly illustrate the validity of Hegel’s theory of the subject; nor will it attempt to come up with a notion of black subjectivity. Rather, our readings and discussions will elucidate and examine (1) the tensions between abstraction and experience/history in the narrative construction of subjects who had indeed been enslaved; (2) the romantic imagination and sympathy and their articulations in British abolitionist and Cuban reformist discourses; and (3) sensibility and the production of gendered and racialized subjects. One of the seminar’s goals will also be to interrogate specific relations between experiences of slavery and modernity.

Cornell University - SPAN 6470 Theory of the Novel: Modernity’s Subjects

Emerging in the wake of psychoanalysis, the theory of the novel is an effect of a new discourse on the subject within a modernity that sees itself as different and searches for a historical parallel. Focused on four late medieval Iberian genres that explore different possibilities for prose fiction, this course will alternate the reading of primary texts (Amadis de Gaula, Cárcel de amor, La Diana, Lazarillo de Tormes) with selected readings from canonical theorists of the novel, especially those of relevance to Hispanic literary criticism, which may include Lukács, Guillén, Ortega y Gasset, Bakhtin, Jameson, Frye, Culler, Cascardi, Benjamin, Freud, Lévi-Strauss, assessing the possible consequences of this course’s main hypothesis: that of the novel is simultaneously a theory of modernity and a theory of the subject.

Cornell University - STS 1102 Histories of the Future (CA-AS)

From Frankenstein to The Matrix, science fiction and film have depicted contemporary science, technology, and medicine for almost two centuries. This course introduces students to historical and social studies of science and technology using science fiction films and novels, as well as key readings in science and technology studies. What social questions can fictional accounts raise that factual ones can only anticipate? How have “intelligent machines” from Babbage’s Analytical Engine to Hal raised questions about what it means to be human? What can Marvel Comics teach us about changes in science and technology? When can robots be women and, in general, what roles did gender play in scientific, technological, and medical stories? How was the discovery that one could look inside the human body received? How do dreams and nightmares of the future emerge from the everyday work of scientific and technological research?

Cornell University - STS 1451 Body, Mind, and Health: Perspectives for Future Medical Professionals (also BSOC 1451) # (CA-AS)

This course surveys heated medical controversies from the Colonial Period to the present. Students learn about important debates over inoculation in the 18th century, sanity and insanity in the 19th century, and venereal disease in the 20th century. Lectures and readings also map the changing experience and authority of men and women engaged in caring and curing. Because health and disease are culturally contingent, course materials explore the history of specific diseases including cholera and tuberculosis, syphilis and AIDS, anorexia nervosa and chronic fatigue syndrome. We consider why it is that certain diseases become more prevalent in one time period than another, and how gender, race, ethnicity, and region shape the experience of disease in America, both in the past and present. Finally, we also investigate some of the scientific, social, and ethical challenges facing medical and mental health professionals in the 21st century.

Introduces some of the central ideas in the field of Science and Technology Studies (S&TS). As well as serving as an introduction to students who plan to major in Biology and Society or in Science and Technology Studies, the course is aimed at students with backgrounds in either the sciences or the humanities who are challenged to think more critically about what we mean by science, what counts as scientific knowledge and why, and how science and technology intervene in the wider world. The course is a mixture of lecture, discussion, and other activities. The discussion sections are an integral part of the course and attendance is required. In addition, a series of written assignments throughout the semester and a take-home final during exam week compose the majority of the grade.
