COMPLIT 248: Indigenous Literatures and Cultures of the Americas

What are 'Indigenous' literatures, and who are 'Indigenous' writers? What do they write about, and how do they represent themselves? What are the best methodologies used by scholars who write about Indigeneity? Through the study of theory, literature, and the visual arts by Indigenous authors from across the Americas, we will consider, among other topics, historical representations and idealizations of Indigenous peoples, the idea of a future after an apocalypse, and alternative ways of relating to the environment. We will explore the diverse forms of Indigenous authorship and cultural production that exist across the Americas, as well as in the context of a globalized world. While our primary materials will come mainly from the Americas (or Abiayala), we will also have exposure to cultures and cultural forms from Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. We will read authors such as Humberto Ak'abal (K'iche Maya), Ruperta Bautista (Tzotzil Maya), Yásnaya Elena Aguilar Gil (Mixe), Leslie Marmon Silko (Laguna Pueblo), Angel Dominguez (Yucatec Maya Latinx), and Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi Nation), among others.

COMPLIT 248A: Reading Turkish I

Reading Turkish I is an introduction to the structures of the Turkish language necessary for reading. It is designed to develop reading competence in Turkish for graduate students. Undergraduates should consult the instructor before enrolling for the course. Essential grammar, syntax points, vocabulary, and reading skills will be emphasized. This is not a traditional language course that takes an integrated four-skill approach; since the goal is an advanced reading level, the focus is mainly on grammar, reading comprehension, and translation. With full concentration on reading, we will be able to cover advanced material in a short amount of time. The course is conducted in English, but students will be exposed to the sounds of Turkish, and will have the opportunity to practice pronunciation in class. NOTE: COMPLIT 248A Reading Turkish I is followed by COMPLIT 248B Reading Turkish II in the Winter and COMPLIT 248C Advanced Turkish for Research in the Spring.
