An Introduction to Literary Study
 
What is the role of literature in the world today?  Is it only something we’re forced to read because we have to take general education courses in our university curriculum?  Or is it actually important to the way we think, read, and write in “real life”?  These are some of the questions this course will ask you to consider, in addition to fostering an appreciation for works of literature, teaching you to read analytically and responsively, and promoting critical writing and thinking on literary topics.  This semester, we will engage with various stories and poems, as well as read two short plays and a novel, always with an eye toward theme, perspective (historical / social / individual), literary technique and innovation.  You’ll learn some of the basic concepts of literary analysis and be expected to demonstrate these concepts in reading responses, an essay, group presentations, and exams.

105 - Introduction to Narrative

All 105 sections meet General Education Core Requirements for Literature (GLT) and AULER/CLER (BL/CBL)

105-01 MWF 8:00-8:50 - J. Babb

Human beings have an impulse to create narratives: we give shape to news, history, and everyday occurrences through narrative. This course focuses on literary fiction, a specific type of narrative discourse. We will examine several varieties of fiction, from novels to short stories and film. Some of the texts we will read enable us to explore concepts of re-inventing narratives. Other texts are positioned to bring their narrative structures into sharp relief. All of these texts will help us to develop understanding of the human impulse to create, re-create, and enjoy narrative.

In this course we will read a variety of literary forms including myths, short stories, poems, plays, and novels from foundational authors to explore important issues about narrative and its relationship to movement. The course will be broken into two parts. During the first half of the semester, we will study narrative discourse and investigate the following questions: What is narrative movement and must narrative always be in motion? Is it what enables the telling and re-telling of stories as representational power travels from person to person? How do narratives change as the move from author to text to reader? How do characteristics of narrative like cohesion of events, temporality, place, framing, closure and point of view shape the textual movement of a narrative?

During the second half of the semester, we will read three novels that span a broad range of historical/cultural contexts and deal with the human movement of travel and migration; ultimately, we will work towards answering the question, how does the desire to tell about human (e)motion influence narrative techniques and how does narrative enable us to represent moments of movement?

105-13 TR 14:00-15:15 - S. Womick

105-14 TR 9:30-10:45 - M. Mullins

In this section of Introduction to Narrative we will investigate a variety of texts (visual texts, films, novels, short stories, poems, plays) in an effort to understand how narrative makes up our perception of the world. We will focus on elements of narrative (point of view, gaps, montage, etc.) in units, and will close with a unit on narrative objects. In class, we will draw, act, graph, chart, view, talk, and build as we attempt to think about narrative with all of our senses, and from different perspectives. Grades will be assigned based on quizzes, midterm and final exams, and a semester project in which students will dive more deeply into a text/medium of their own choosing.
