- ENG389: Life Writing
- Instructor: Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, PhD
- Spring 2016
- Undergraduate course, Emory University
- Course Description: This course on life writing features a range of forms such as memoir, autobiography, and other life writing genres such as film, self-portrait, poetry, and performance. Our close reading and narrative analysis of these primary works focuses on how human variation is narrated in life writing genres and how the authorial voice identifies explicitly with multiple subject positions. Our analyses will reveal how literary forms give shape to the ways multiple identities intersect, conflict, and are negotiated through narrative and identity formation. Some identities we will consider in the primary texts are gender, race, sexuality, disability, health and wellness, and class. We will have 4 to 6 video conversations during class with the authors of our life writing texts.
- ENG389: Caribbean Literature
- Instructor: Valérie Loichot, PhD
- Fall 2015
- Undergraduate course, Emory University
- Course Description: This course introduces students to Caribbean literature through short stories, novels, poems, and essays by authors from Antigua, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago from the period of European colonialism to the present. It is organized around questions of language, slavery, diaspora, exile, critical race theory, and creolization. Some of the questions we will raise include: How do Caribbean writers imagine their islands, archipelagoes, and diasporic places? How do Caribbean writers reclaim an image constructed by colonial discourses? What particular racial and gender dynamics inform their works? How do they reinvent language in a space of tension between English, French, and Creole; between orality and writing? What is creolization?
