CPLT 542 01 (10332) /CLSS837 W 2.30-4.20 Fall 2009 This course takes a "thematic" approach to literary criticism in antiquity, with special emphasis on the culture(s) of criticism in the Roman world. The home base for the course is the literary-theoretical and rhetorical works of selected Roman authors, especially Cicero (Brutus, Orator), Varro, Horace, and Seneca. The larger historical picture is filled in by looking both backward to Greek sources, especially to Plato and Aristotle, and forward to Quintilian, Tacitus, Longinus, and others. Weekly discussions center on topics that arise from the theoretical pronouncements and debates of ancient writers, as well as from the actual practices (and meta-linguistic commentaries) of the poets themselves. Topics include theories of imitation in antiquity; theories of style (order, structure, metaphor, language, word choice, etc.); definitions of a "poem" and of the poet's place in society; genre theory and canon formation (especially in Rome); what grammarians do and how they structure modes of evaluation.

CPLT 571 01 (11163) /RUSS675/RUSS326 T 3.30-5.20 Fall 2009 Close, comparative, contextualized examination of literary and other forms of cultural production associated with U.S. slavery and Russian serfdom. Special attention is paid to the relation between bondage and national, cultural, and personal identity, the role of bondage in definitions of "aesthetic experience" in the pre- and post-emancipation periods, the relation between literacy and the literary, literature of protest in the two countries, and connections between geographical and subjective space within cultures of enslavement. We examine works by Pushkin, Aksakov, Gogol, Simms, Cooper, Crevecoeur, Radishchev, Karamzin, Goncharov, Tolstoy, Kennedy and the "plantation novelists," Stowe, Melville, Turgenev, slave and serf autobiographers, freedman's textbooks, Fet, Lanier, Page, Chesnutt, and Bunin; historical treatments by Kolchin, Genovese, and others; theoretical works by Said, Jameson, Saidiya Hartman, Bakhtin, and others. Requirements: in-class presentations; research paper. No knowledge of Russian required.

CPLT 578 01 (10508) /PHIL711/ENGL984 T 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 An introduction to theoretical issues of textual analysis, and the difference between structuralist and metapragmatic approaches to language and culture. We review debates over performativity, the langue/parole distinction, indexicality and metaindexicality, and the nature of text. We then see how these traditions for analyzing the social dimensions of language inflect various attempts to theorize modern forms of discourse and power, including the public sphere, concepts of genre and media, religion, and the practice of criticism itself.

CPLT 840 01 (10591) /FILM840/GMAN652/HSAR687/RUSS712 W 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 From 1918 to the mid-1930s, Moscow and Berlin both became central gathering points for left-wing modernists. Although each city developed its own modes of modernism, they did so in sustained dialogue, given massive Russian emigration to Berlin after 1918, the Weimar obsession with early Soviet aesthetics (and cinema), intellectuals visiting in both directions, and the large-scale emigration of German leftists to the Soviet Union after 1933. The final week or two of the course end by considering the shaping influence of Soviet intellectuals (and German emigrants returning from Moscow) on East Berlin "late modernism" of the 1940s and '50s. Centered on literature and film, the course also considers a wide array of art forms (including painting, photography, architecture, music, and aesthetic theory). Works by modernists such as Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Vertov, Kosintsev, Trauberg, Alexandrov, Shklovsky, Nabokov, Babel, Tretiakov, Mayakovsky, El Lissitsky, Rodchenko, Malevich, Tatlin, Shostakovich, Lukács, Benjamin, Brecht, Richter, Ruttmann, Dudow, Beckmann, Schwitters, Grosz, Heartfield, Döblin, Moholy-Nagy, van der Rohe, Weill, Krenek, Eisler, Busch. Texts are available in English translation; knowledge of Russian and/or German still very helpful. Where able, students should read texts in the original. At the first meeting, students help shape the final syllabus.

And how did nineteenth-century Realist and Naturalist textual practices intersect with other discourses besides the literary? Novelists to be studied include Balzac, Stendhal, Sand, Flaubert, and Zola. Theorists to be studied include Auerbach, Barthes, Girard, Jameson, and Lukács. Some attention is also paid to Realist painting. Reading knowledge of French required.
