| SHAMIR, Dr. M | MA Seminar |
| This seminar explores questions of narrative boundaries and narrative topographies in the context of liberal hegemony, the "separate spheres" ideology, and their critics. It asks philosophical, political, and historical questions about the public/private binary and its attendant gender figurations, and explores, more specifically, the way nineteenth-century U.S. culture and literature shaped--and was shaped by-- this "great divide."
PRIMARY TEXTS: include works by Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Fanny Fern, and Henry James. SECONDARY TEXTS: include essays and book chapters by Jurgen Habermas, Hannah Arendt, Richard Sennett, Walter Benjamin, Nancy Fraser, Carol Pateman, Michael Warner, and Lauren Berlant. REQUIREMENTS: short writing assignments, class presentation, and final paper. | |
