ENGLISH 303: Blake and the Bible

Creation and exile, the divine and the human, angels and devils, the revolutions of human history, gender division and sexual identity, prophecy and apocalypse: these timeless themes occur in the sacred texts (mainly from the Hebrew canon of the Bible) and in the illuminated poetry of William Blake on which this seminar will focus. Emphasis will be given to form and genre proverbs, songs, lamentations, dream visions, prophecies, histories, fables - as well as to forging connections between texts and concepts.

ENGLISH 303A: The Interruption of the Machine: Introduction to Sound Studies through Literature (COMPLIT 333, ITALIAN 302, MUSIC 303, TAPS 302)

This course will introduce students to the field of Sound Studies (methodology, vocabulary, main claims) with a focus on the various sonic articulations of human-machine interactions in literature. The world of fiction as a sonic machine that articulates noise, sound, music, voice, or silence offers an excellent archive. We will read works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Eça de Queirós, Mark Twain, the Italian Futurists, Zora Neale Hurston, and Luigi Pirandello. Secondary readings will include seminal contributions by R. Murray Schafer (the soundscape), Leo Marx (U.S. industrialization), Jacques Attali (noise and music), Mladen Dolar (philosophy and voice), Adriana Cavarero (gender, voice, and the body), Jonathan Crary (culture, aesthetics, and perception), Friedrich Kittler (media), and Daphne Brooks (black feminist sound).
