Fall 2021 Course Descriptions Undergraduate Courses ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FALL 2021 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS UNDERGRADUATE COURSES ENGL 132B Shakespeare’s Great Characters and Their Worlds CRN# 7331 M/W/F 1:30-2:20 PM Tom Farrell We will read perhaps six plays by William Shakespeare, seeking a greater understanding of the ways European culture around 1600—its "ideologies, authority structures, symbols, rituals, traditions" (to quote the description of B courses)—responded to a set cultural issues still relevant to us today. Class discussion will explore Shakespeare's comedies, tragedies, histories and their responses to issues such as politics, class and social authority, the nature of gender and the roles assigned to it, and race. ENGL 141 Writing About Film CRN# 7065 M/W/F 9:00-9:50 AM Nicole Denner In this course, we will develop skills in critical and analytical thinking with film as our object. With that goal, we will focus our attention on identifying, synthesizing, and analyzing elements of a film’s story, plot, and basic cinematic techniques, in order to think through how not only the obvious story, but also how stylistic choices affect the way you might interpret possible meanings of and nuanced responses to particular films. Additionally, we will approach how certain elements - historical, cultural, ideological, artistic, technological and/or commercial influences – open up additional or alternative interpretations. We will begin with the basics of film language/terminology. We will discuss the mechanics of and practice writing in various formats, but there will be a particular focus on the critical/analytical essay. While much of this class concerns itself with film studies, it is primarily a writing intensive course. Students should be prepared to devote time outside of class to film viewings and essay writing. ENGL 141 Writing About Afrofuturism CRN# 7067 T/R 2:30-3:45 PM Chesya Burke Afrofuturism is a Black cultural aesthetic that is specifically borne from the oppression, visions, and art of Black people within the diaspora. It combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism and politics to critique what cultural critic, Greg Tate, views as, the space that “Black people live [within] the estrangement that [white] science fiction writers imagine.” Quite simply, Afrofuturists reimagine a future for Black people outside of the oppressive Eurocentric created society; they envision a place for themselves within the stars and universe that is not coded with anti-blackness. In this course, you will explore traditional storytelling methods of Afrofuturists by looking at examples from a wide range of genres, including film, literature, music and art. We will challenge the notion that Afrofuturism is mere entertainment and instead examine it as a cultural and literary movement. Important figures we will examine will include Octavia Butler, Sun Ra and the lyrics and aesthetic of Janelle Monae. The ultimate goal is for you to become aware of an “audience” when you write so that you can begin to engage with questions involving the Black diaspora, multiculturalism and other diverse groups—to use as practical skills in the future. ENGL 141 Writing About Afrofuturism CRN# 7068 T/R 4:00-5:15 PM Chesya Burke Afrofuturism is a Black cultural aesthetic that is specifically borne from the oppression, visions, and art of Black people within the diaspora. It combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism and politics to critique what cultural critic, Greg Tate, views as, the space that “Black people live [within] the estrangement that [white] science fiction writers imagine.” Quite simply, Afrofuturists reimagine a future for Black people outside of the oppressive Eurocentric created society; they envision a place for themselves within the stars and universe that is not coded with anti-blackness.

The ultimate goal is for you to become aware of an “audience” when you write so that you can begin to engage with questions involving the Black diaspora, multiculturalism and other diverse groups—to use as practical skills in the future. ENGL 141 Writing About Food and Drink CRN# TBD Nancy Barber J.R.R. Tolkien once said, “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” This course will be a celebration of at least food, if not cheer and song, and will focus on the variety of ways that professionals write about food and drink. We will read exemplary essays as models for good writing, and you will get a chance to try out a number of modes of food and/or drink writing yourself: restaurant review, memoir, researched analysis, and immersion quest. ENGL 142A Literature in the World: Fairy Tales CRN# 7070 M/W/F 11:00-11:50 AM Michele Randall “There must be possible a fiction which, leaving sociology and case histories to the scientists, can arrive at the truth about the human condition, here and now, with all the bright magic of the fairy tale.” Ralph Ellison Fairy Tales have been around for many generations and are still popular in modern writing, television, and film. This course explores the world of Fairy Tales and Fables by looking at some of the original stories and variations. We will read, discuss, analyze, and write about context, cultural adaptations, and modernization of older stories and take a closer look at gender issues like male and female voices in fairy tales, the use of sex & violence, Mother Goose vs. The Grimm Brothers, and the changing value of beauty. Assignments will respond to the stories and critical essays. Be prepared to have thoughtful conversations, substantive analysis, critical thought, & reflection. This course meets GS, WE, & A requirements. ENGL 142A Literature in the World: Austin and Adaptation CRN# 7071 M/W 12:00-1:15 PM Lori Snook Jane Austen is one of the great novelists of the English tradition. More than two hundred years after their first appearances, her works still are read and enjoyed, and her works inspire others to create their own stories in conversation with hers. Our big questions for the class: What do we see in the original works? How does adaptation work as interpretation? Together we will read and analyze three of her six novels (Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion); we also will read and analyze book adaptations like Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones' Diary and Somah Kamal's Unmarriageable, and watch and analyze film, TV, and webseries adaptations like Pride and Prejudice (2005), The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Clueless (1995), Emma (2020), and Emma Approved. Students will keep a reading journal and three longer essays, research history and reception for Austen's novels and their adaptations, and create and present their own work in conversation with Austen's work. ENGL 142A Literature in the World: Global Writing Across Borders CRN# 7137 M/W 4:00-5:15 PM Chris Jimenez What does contemporary English literature look like today? Who’s writing it? Where do they come from? Who’s in—and who’s out? In this course, we will examine texts by contemporary multicultural writers whose literary work transcends borders—national, temporal, racial—to help us understand how English literature is becoming global in scope. Guided by the literary texts listed below, our class will engage with contemporary issues surrounding race, identity, belonging, and (trans)nationalism. Students will gain insight into a variety of political and cultural formations around the world and learn to evaluate them using critical literary analysis ENGL 208 The Personal Essay CRN# 6476 M/W/F 1:30-2:20 PM Michele Randall “You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then you eventually get better at it… one of the most valuable traits is persistence.” Octavia E. Butler The personal essay is more expansive than memoir, its famous sub-genre. Scholars and writers have spent more time studying and developing the genre with good reason—it is versatile, brief, and intimate. We will read, discuss, and analyze personal essays, and we will spend time working on our own essays, developing voice, style, and craft. This course meets the WE requirement. ENGL 209 Write for Your Life CRN# 7072 T/R 10:00-11:15 AM Megan O’Neill This course introduces you to writing for the real world by studying and then producing three or four kinds of writing that humans typically encounter over the course of life: writing to share your story with others; writing to prepare yourself for the future; and writing to navigate your present. Specifically, the course provides an individually tailored set of learning goals that include developing self-confidence, navigating differences, and preparing for your professional future. This is a very collaborative classroom experience, an excellent opportunity for students to learn with and from each other. This is a writing course, so you should expect reading, writing, discussion, revision, contemplation, and preparation. Writing enhanced class. ENGL 220 Understanding Composition and Rhetoric CRN# 5636 T/R 2:30-3:45 PM Michael Barnes ENGL 220 is a one-unit/four credit WE (writing enhanced) course devoted to improving your understanding of the history and application of persuasive strategies, particularly in reference to writing. As we consider rhetoric (persuasive technique) and pedagogy (teaching philosophy), your overall writing skills (e.g.

  • Adaptations of Austen: How Does Multimedia Impact Our Ability to Read Between the Lines of Pride and Prejudice and Emma?
    Adaptations of Austen: How Does Multimedia Impact Our Ability to Read Between the Lines of Pride and Prejudice and Emma? Presented to the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Completion of the Program Stern College for Women Yeshiva University May 6, 2020 Elka Basya Wiesenberg Mentor: Dr. Nora Nachumi, English Introduction “We’ve all seen it at least once,” says Devoney Looser, in The Making of Jane Austen, “A purist complains that Jane Austen’s fiction is being cheapened or even destroyed by film and television adaptations, [and by] vlogs” (13).1 Some readers of Austen feel that onscreen adaptations are ruining the novels. The characters, the story, the novels do not necessarily translate the way these readers imagined them, and this makes these adaptations undesirable to them, not giving them the experience that they want. Are these purists correct? Are modern adaptations destroying the authentic experience of a Jane Austen novel? Or is there something to be gained from a multimedia adaptation of Austen’s works? To begin to understand these questions, we must explore others. First, we must understand: What is the experience of an Austen novel? Second, we must discuss: How is this experience translated into a screen adaptation? What is different? These are questions that this paper will answer in order to understand the above complaints and prove them partially right-- and partially wrong. An Austen novel’s appeal lies heavily in its narrative voice, its narrator and style, as will be discussed, and this is what we will consider the Austen experience.

  • From Letters to Vlog Entries
    From Letters to Vlog Entries The Vlog Adaptation as a Remediation of the Epistolary Novel BA Thesis Comparative Literary Studies Hannah Ackermans 3814610 Supervisor: Sara Rosa Espi 30 June 2014 2 Contents Introduction 5 1 Immediacy: from the postal culture to the memoir boom 9 Truthfulness as a literary trope in fiction 2 Hypermediacy: between homogeneity and heterogeneity 15 Materiality as the unreliability of the narrator 3 Remediation: between assembly and fragmentation 21 Temporal effects of serialization Conclusion 25 Appendix 29 3 4 Introduction People love to read, watch, and experience stories, even – or especially – when those stories originate from another time period. The nineteenth century novels by Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters seem to be more popular than ever, being continually reprinted and adapted to different media. These adaptations vary greatly in objective, concept, and execution. Some adaptations, called costume dramas, aim for fidelity to the original, such as TV series Pride and Prejudice (Langton, 1995) and film Wuthering Heights (Arnold, 2011). These adaptations transpose the original storyline as well as the original setting to the film. Other adaptations of classics transport the storylines to the twentieth/twenty-first century, such as ‘chick flick’ Clueless (Herckerling, 1995) and Bollywood film Bride & Prejudice (Chadha, 2004). And there is a broad genre which does not necessarily adapt the whole story, but alludes to it, making playful use of (primarily Austen’s) novels, such as ‘chick lit’ Breakfast at Darcy’s (McNamara, 2011) and book series Bridget Jones (Fielding, 1996, 1999, 2013). Together these adaptations show both the love a modern day audience has for these nineteenth century stories and the urge and practice to adapt and appropriate these stories.

She has graced the silver screen with both Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen as her Mr. Darcy, performed on stage, appeared as a comic book character, and even slayed zombies. Elizabeth’s reputation as heroine extraordinaire has pushed her beyond Pemberley and has secured her a lasting place in contemporary pop culture, and this can be said for more of Austen’s characters. Beyond the pages of the original novels, various adaptations have assisted with bringing Austen’s stories into the twenty-first century and establishing her as a seemingly timeless author.
