> Sorry this is a little longwinded bcs I wrote this up as an independent blurb and already circulated it to other depts...  and then the Art History staff person made it prettier for me without my asking! (tho I welcomed it). I can cut this upon request. Perhaps lop out the first and last paragraphs?

> CPLT 210: Canons in Comparative Literature
> Fall 2011, Wednesdays  4:00-7:00 pm

> From the course catalogue: "Studies the concept of the canon and literary texts included in it and excluded from it. Considers the distinction between "mainstream" and "marginal" works. Examines how the canon of texts changes over time. Course is repeatable as topics change."
>  
> In Fall 2011, with Professor Michelle Bloom, this seminar will focus on Scandal and Censorship. Concepts studied will include sexuality (homosexuality, lesbianism, incest and prostitution), death (art and death) and politics (government censorship).   Nineteenth-century European literature, with an emphasis on France (eg. Flaubert, Baudelaire, Manet), as well as secondary attention to the U.K. (Wilde) and fin-de-siècle Vienna (TBD), will provide one constellation of focus; recent and contemporary  Sinophone cinemas (directed by mainland and Taiwanese auteurs such as Zero Chou, Dai Sijie, Jia Zhangke, Tsai Ming-liang, Wang Xiaoshuai) will offer another main area of study; recent French novels written by Chinese writers in exile (Dai and Gao Xingjian) will offer a third area of emphasis.  Critical and theoretical works (TBA) will be studied in conjunction with these works of fiction.
>  
> This seminar is open to graduate students (and, with permission/recommendation, advanced undergraduates, for instance in MCS and Women’s Studies, as well as CPLT) in not only Comparative Literature, but also in related fields including Art History, Art, Creative Writing, Dance, English, History, Philosophy and Political Science.

>> How do we engage and empower both independent and collaborative student learning in what the late Bill Readings has called the "ruined university"?  This hands-on workshop/seminar meshes teaching practica with intellectual inquiry, discussion of theoretical approaches to teaching the Humanities, and weekly meditations around the complex issue of "andragogy"  -- teaching adults.
