ENGLISH 189A: Dead White Men on Trial: Feminism and the Novel
The determination of gender is a form of reading: reading bodies, reading gestures, reading histories. In the spirit of that feminist insight, this course will offer an introduction to feminism through fiction and criticism that thematizes reading in its diverse forms. Students will explore the relationship between interpretation and experience, identity and performance, from both the social feminist angle and the literary-critical angle. We will acquaint ourselves with foundational feminist novels, from
Jane Eyre to
To the Lighthouse to
Their Eyes Were Watching God, and pair them with critical theory that addresses feminism in conversation with race, class, ability, and sexual orientation. Students will be encouraged to consider contemporary applications of the historical thought, and will have the option of writing a final paper that analyzes a contemporary text of their choice. The class will also require short writing assignments that will develop students¿ facility with argumentation and academic essay forms.
