The course will track the changing fates of the poetological homunculus baptized "lyrical I" in 1910, across the battle-worn 20th century, from George and Rilke to the transgressive subjectivities of Expressionist poetics, from avantgarde challenges to bourgeois individualism to Celan's codes and the supposed "New Subjectivity" of the 1970s, and, finally, into the present moment of, inter alia, the Neobaroque wisdoms of poeta doctus Gr�nbein and the mellowed grooves of Mayr�cker and her entourage. Do we need a notion of lyric subjectivity and perhaps of its demise to account for the peculiar intimacy of poetic enunciations?

This course will investigate the ways in which German Jews of the 19th and 20th centuries adopted and transformed "German" categories of historical thought from the perspective of the Jewish outsider. Such thinkers raised urgent questions about the politics of history, the history of religion, and the consequences of both for a modern understanding of time. As we read, we will take seriously their hybrid, "hyphenated" perspective: the goal will be to gain insight--on the one hand--into a unique chapter of German-Jewish intellectual thought, and--on the other--into the more general question of what it means to do history at all.

Perhaps no literary genre has a more intimate relationship to law than tragedy. For one, the tragic conflict often involves a figure caught between competing and incompatible legal orders; for another, the rules and conventions of the genre itself have always been more strictly codified than those of other literary forms. Tragedy often shows the impossibility of subsuming a particular case under a general principle while insisting on the need for laws that derive their authority by abstracting from the particular. This course explores this paradox in tragedies from antiquity (Sophicles' Antigone) to the German 19th century.

Taking up the master trope of dystopian futurity articulated in Orwell's 1984, this seminar in media theory will track the paranoid logics of surveillance across a wide range of literary, philosophical, technological (photographic, cinematic, digital) and architectural manifestations. Using a comparative, historical and interdisciplinary approach we will consider surveillance as a political tactic, a narrative strategy, a theory of the subject, a spatial configuration, a mode of spectatorship, and as a key dynamic of both old and new media.

Course examines Aristotle's formulation that history is verity and fiction is verisimilitude and how that concept was given a new meaning through the emergence of the modern novel in the 17th and 18th centuries, when fiction produced a "doubling of reality" and ushered in a realignment of what would become key terms of modernity: not just fiction and reality, but possibility, contingency, fancy, and probability, a concept native to rhetoric that now acquires a new mathematical meaning. Course focuses on what this co-evolution teaches us both about the history of the novel and the formation of modern scientific thinking.

An examination of aspects the "Return to Order", in the 1920's and '30's, after an earlier period of avant-garde experimentation. Considers novel aesthetic strategies which confound distinctions between Realism and Modernism, and the discourse of the "human" and "humanism" that motivated artistic production of the period. The approach of the course lies at the intersection between anthropology and aesthetics and addresses topics emergent at this theoretical locus: biography and portraiture; ethnographic writing; the ontology of documentary; biopolitical utopias of the `new man'.

Seminar examines the exchanges between literature and aesthetics, economics, political theory, and anthropology. Course develops a "poetics of homo oeconomicus" to account for the discursive strategies of business studies as much as for the economic formation of literary production. In the interdependance of economic text and textual economy what is at stake is the figure and efficacy of homo oeconomicus: its origin, fortunes and desires, its success, its modes of intercourse and traffic, its entaglements and symbolic exchanges.
