printer friendly pageENGLISH 187F: Everyday Matters
Literature is often imagined as a phenomenon that enables a magical transcendence of a dull, routinized life. But are there ways in which literature might also be thought of assuming shape and texture from the ordinary everyday that we all experience? Some argue that prior to its relatively modern understanding in terms of specific set of art-objects and artistic practice, the aesthetic was understood as an integral part of the sensory experience of everyday life in all its beauty and messiness. This course will try to capture representations of the ordinary in modern and contemporary literature and engage with anthropological and sociological attempts to understand the elusive category of everyday life.
