ENGLISH 17SI: Muggles, Mermaids, and Metaphors: Race in Harry Potter

How do divisions between wizards and Muggles or purebloods and Muggle-borns reflect race in our own society? How are books, films, and fan creations coloured by characters, and consumers, experiences of race? And how can understanding literature be relevant to social change?

ENGLISH 18SI: From Canon to 'Fanon': Fan Fiction and the Democratization of Literature

Fan fiction has been called one of the great unsung popular literary movements of the past fifty years. Long in existence but increasingly mainstream, the genre has emerged onto the 21st-century literary landscape as a cultural force to be reckoned with. This course will treat fan fiction as a legitimate genre of literature worthy of academic attention and analysis. We will examine both text and context, considering tropes and style of 'fanfic' as well as cultural impact and influence. Key themes of the course include intertextuality, reader-response criticism, new literacies, and fanfic as a medium for narrative expansion and transgression.

ENGLISH 1D: Dickens Book Club

Through the academic year, we will read one Dickens novel, one number a week for 19 weeks, as the Victorians would have done as they read the serialized novel over the course of 19 months. The group gets together once a week for an hour and a half to discuss each number, to look carefully at the pattern that the author is weaving, to guess, as the Victorians would have done, what might be coming next, and to investigate the Victorian world Dickens presents. We look carefully at themes, characters, metaphorical patterns, and scenes that form Dickens' literary world, and spend increasing time evaluating the critique that Dickens levels at Victorian life. The weekly gatherings are casual; the discussion is lively and pointed.
