Section Title: Contemporary Classics Section Info: Topic Section C: Contemporary Classics This course investigates the novels that readers and reviewers have signaled to be among the most important of the current generation. They may not be popular favorites, but they have won critical esteem, especially insofar as all of our books have been finalists for or have won prestigious prizes. In that regard, they are extremely readable, even if they only occasionally surface on bestseller lists. One or two of the authors may already be known to you; several more are well known in literary circles, and a few are only now coming into recognition. Unlike other courses, where author reputations are already fixed and where there are already standard interpretations, this class offers students the chance to be among the very first to study these examples of the serious (though occasionally humorous) literature of the last decade or so.

Section Title: Disability in Lit & Film Section Info: Topic Section P: Disability in Literature and Film In this course we will take a disability studies approach to popular and canonical works of literature. Portrayals of disability are rampant in literature. We will examine how writers have made use disability to drive narrative, symbolize moral failures, and rationalize experimental style. As we look at more contemporary texts, we will examine the disability rights community?s reaction to, and appropriation of, the portrayal of disabled characters. Texts include Jane Eyre, Oedipus Rex, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time; Call me Ahab.
