Course Descriptions: Summer 2005 (8 week session)



Advising

The undergraduate major program in English requires students to take ENG 330 (Text & Context), one Language module course (210, 211 or 310), four 300-level Literature modules courses (two in British Literature, two in American Literature), and four additional courses from the Area modules, at least two of which must be drawn from one Area module. In addition, all majors must complete a one-hour capstone course, taken concurrently with an Area module course. The Area modules are: Literature, Film & Media, Writing, Imaginative Writing, Language Study, Theory, Education. A complete description of the English major is available in the English Advising Office (1227 Patterson Office Tower).

The English Advising Office in Patterson Office Tower (rooms 1225, 1227, and 1229) is a center for information and guidance on undergraduate degree programs and post-graduation planning. The Advising Office serves not only English majors, but also those students working on a minor in English, those seeking Teacher Certification in English, those working on Topical majors in which English is prominent, and students from any area of the University seeking information or advice on English Department courses. (Inquiries about freshmen writing courses should be directed to the Writing Program Office, 1221 P.O.T.)

The English Advising Office will be open Monday - Friday, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 - 4:30 p.m. throughout the Priority Registration period (March 31 - April 23). Because of the demands made upon the office during this period, appointments are required. Appointments with the advisors - Meg Marquis, Julie Walter, and Christine Luft - can be made by contacting staff associate Andy Johnson in 1227 P.O.T. or by phone: (859) 257-3763. Students are strongly encouraged to see the advisors as early as possible, preferably a week before their registration time. Please note that students in Arts and Sciences will not be able to register without having seen an advisor and having the advisor hold lifted.

Note on registration for writing courses (ENG 207, 305, 407, 507, and 607): Students wishing to take these courses should advance register for them and attend the first class meetings. These students should be aware, however, that (as stated in the UK Catalog) ultimate enrollment in the courses will be by consent of instructor, given after the first class meeting (thus, registration for the course does not guarantee a place on the final roll).

INTRO TO WOMENS LIT    Women & War in the 20th Century

This course will take as its focus literature written by women both in war and
its aftermath. To introduce you to the rich body of women's writing, we will
read a variety of works to discuss the dynamic interplay of the
cultural-historical moment and the text. We will also examine the
continuities/discontinuities among the writers and the wartimes they represent.
We will discuss the ways in which war and violence influence the construction of
culture, gender, and identity. Assignments will emphasize close-reading and
consist of class discussion, a reading journal, a midterm, a shorter paper, and
a longer final essay.

Texts include:
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
Marguerite Duras, The War
Toni Morrison, Sula
Helen Z. Smith, Not So Quiet . . . Stepdaughters of War

STUDIES LIT AND GENDER:    THE LIVES OF ARTISTS

This section of ENG 485G studies our fascination with the lives (and sexuality) of artists, male and female, as rendered in fiction and in film. We’ll read fiction by James Joyce, Mary Shelley, William Faulkner, and Oscar Wilde, and view films that take as their subject a variety of artists, including the fascinating Camile Claudel, who should be a household name because of her sculptures, but who has more famously come down in art and film history as Auguste Rodin’s tempestuous lover.
