ENGLISH 190.01 (11752):
First-Year Experience/Freshman Seminar
“The Literature of Family, Home, and Belonging”
Dr. Mimi Fenton
MWF 9:05-9:55 a.m. 

As an introduction to the different disciplinary focuses within the English major, this Freshman seminar will explore ways that “home,” “family,” and “belonging,” are presented in short stories, poetry, essays, novels, drama, and film. We will read Barbara Kingsolver’s collection of essays, Small Wonder, the novel Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, short stories by Ron Rash and others, poems by both regional and international authors, and we will study films such as A River Runs Through It, The Joy Luck Club, and City of Joy, and we will attend the on-campus production of a Shakespeare play. The class will do a variety of short writing projects, such as a personal “Family Heritage” project, creative writing that imitates the genres we are learning about, and literary and film reviews. You will also do team-building, experiential, and service learning projects as a way to understand the complexity of what it means to belong and how we create family structures and a sense of home.

English 190.02 (11753)
Freshman Seminar: “Outlaw” Literature
Dr. Mae Miller Claxton
MWF 11:15 AM-12:05 PM 

Dorothy Allison stated in an interview that “the deepest way to change people is to get them to inhabit the soul of another human being who is different from them. And that happens in story. That happens in literature.” In this class, we will read novels about “outlaws,” those who live and struggle on the margins of society. The stories will be about people you know—the man who runs the pawn shop, children dealing with parents on drugs, Native Americans struggling to make it in the world outside the reservation, miners and millworkers. Students will complete a variety of writing assignments. The class will decide on a service project designed to address some of the issues we will discuss in class. 

ENGL 200.01 (11754)
Introduction to the English Major
Tuesdays 9:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.
Dr. Brent Kinser

This required one-hour course provides an introduction to the major and an opportunity for you to meet some of your peers and a number of faculty and staff. As a result, during the course of the semester, you will be introduced to various opportunities for study in the major, as well as encouraged to consider what you might do with your major and how to get where you want to be at the end of your time as a student at Western. We will consider employment opportunities and plan a possible route through the English classes you will take during the next two and a half years. You should leave this course with an understanding of the parameters of your chosen field, with a plan for how you will pursue your goals at Western, and with ideas about the ways you can pursue your goals after you are graduated.

Second-semester Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to consult with their advisors about taking this class.

ENGL 204.01 (11888)
Literature of Culture
MWF 1:25-2:15 p.m.
Dr. Elizabeth Addison

Classic and contemporary literary works related to China and Japan, with films, emphasizing cultural context and understanding.  Collaborative research project with presentation, midterm and final. Snow Country, by Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata, and more.

This section of 207 will focus on the figure of the vampire in literature and popular culture- poetry, fiction, nonfiction, television, film, and the Internet.  We will read a variety of works by such authors as Bram Stoker, Stephen King, and Anne Rice and review films and Internet sites to examine the reflections of vampires and vampirism in America today.  How do we move from  the figure of  the nosferatu, the undead monster, the soulless walking corpse who steals lives and spreads his evil doom--to a sweet kids’ show character, the Count on Sesame Street (or an even sweeter kids’ cereal)--to a lonely tragic figure who is only looking for love to redeem him?  What is the appeal of the vampire?  What draws us to this figure, even as he repels us?  Why do we keep recreating Dracula, resurrecting him?

This course earns P4 Liberal Studies Humanities credit.

ENGL 209.01 (11891)
Past Times: Literature and History, The Civil Rights Years
MWF 10:10-11:00 a.m.

This course focuses on the relationships between literature of the past and historical events, historical documents, and the events and texts of our time. Our particular focus will be on the Civil Rights years in the United States, roughly 1954-1980. We will explore this explosive historical moment through its most famous authors, both black and white, and will consider how writers change their times and how history shapes its writers.

An introduction to the close reading of poetry, fiction, and drama, emphasizing theme, structure and form, figurative language, and style. Introduction to major critical approaches.  (P4)

ENGLISH 240.01 (11899)
Survey of British Literature
Dr. Mimi Fenton
MWF 10:10 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

 English 240 aims to serve the dual purpose of introducing you to some of the major, canonical works for British Literature and also teaching you the fundamentals of literary research and literary criticism. To that end, we will read, discuss, and research works ranging from Old English texts such as Beowulf to works in Middle English such as Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, to early modern texts by writers such as Katherine Philips, John Donne, and John Milton. We will also study 18th century writers Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift before moving onto Romantic writers such as William Wordsworth and Jane Austen. Finally, we will address 19th and 20th century writers such as Virginia Woolfe and T.S. Eliot. Our aim will be to gain an introductory understanding of these authors and some major works while also learning the basic techniques, strategies, and aims of literary research and literary criticism and how to incorporate research into your writing.

This course is required as one of the CORE courses in the newly revised Literature curriculum.

Through the tradition of American literature, we will learn the fundamental skills of the discipline: formalism, technical vocabulary, and close reading. You will leave the class with a better understanding of the development of the American literary tradition and many canonical texts, as well as essential skills necessary for the upper-level courses in literary studies. (This course is designed for students with a major or minor in English and meets no Liberal Studies categories.)

PREQ: ENGL 101

In this course, we will be reading a variety of texts, watching a variety of films, and studying various other forms of visual media in order to learn how cultures (in Africa, the Caribbean, and India) are imagined, depicted, and created through these artifacts.

By studying non-Western texts and textual production, students will gain an appreciation of other cultures in the world and will understand how variables like geography and colonization affect the characteristics of a culture – including aspects such as art, architecture, and diet, conceptions of time, gender role expectations and family structures, as well as the establishment of social hierarchies and institutions.  

Through an examination of Western popular cultural representations of the non-Western world, students will deconstruct our assumptions about other cultures, particularly in the current moment.

We will read Cervantes’ Don Quixote as a way to understand 17th century responses to the cultural and religious changes caused by the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, and we will also read parts of important works from Germany (Martin Luther’s radical treatises that helped reform the Catholic Church), France (Rabelais’ hilarious Gargantua and Pantagruel), and England (Shakespeare & Co.) as a way to understand the widespread complexity of this wonderfully rich, diverse, and exciting period in culture and literature. Mondays and Wednesdays will be our “literature” days, and Fridays will be our “culture” days where we will learn about art, music, language, and food. A variety of writing activities will engage the individual disciplinary interests of students, and we will do team research projects for oral presentation to the whole class. We will also have a variety of guest lecturers from different disciplines with specialization in the period.

  Winter’s Bone
  Children of Men
  The Help
  Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  He’s Just Not That Into You

This course explores the complex relationships between literature and film.  Adaptations are one of the most profitable and popular motion picture products, and as film scholars we will want to understand how and why the written word is translated into motion pictures.

• We will read many different types of works including short stories, novels and graphic novels, plays, and nonfiction works; and, analytical and theoretical approaches.
• We will focus on close readings of the original text, and learn how film language and theory can help us make connections between the original work and its cinematic twin.

ENGL 405.70 (12003) Advanced Creative Writing
M 6:00 – 8:50 p.m.
Ron Rash

Requires permission of instructor to enroll.

This course is an advanced fiction workshop in the short story. Prerequisites are either English 308 or permission of the instructor. The course emphasizes intense reading as well as writing.

ENGL 418.70 (12004)
Fundamentals of Teaching Literature
Dr. Catherine Carter
W 6:00-8:50 p.m.

This course focuses on the methods, materials, curriculum and trends for teaching literature in secondary and middle grades English classrooms.  The course synthesizes the content knowledge attained during the English major course of study (specifically literature courses), general pedagogical knowledge developed through the pre-service teacher professional education sequence, and practical knowledge gained through ongoing field experiences in local classrooms, by providing students with research-based classroom-centered strategies for teaching the literature required in North Carolina public schools.  Particular attention will be given to the process of developing learning goals for literature units and appropriate assessments for measuring student progress toward achieving those learning goals. Methods of presentation include teaching by the professor, teaching demonstrations by the teacher education candidates enrolled in the class, small-group and whole-class discussion and presentations by additional personnel involved in the teaching of English.  The course emphasizes the use of technology in the secondary English or middle grades classroom by requiring a computer technology component during unit planning. 

So what does all that really mean?  It means we’ll read some of the go-to texts for teaching 9-12 ELA in North Carolina (like Night and Nectar in a Sieve and The Crucible and some short stories and poetry), talk about and research ways to teach them, write many fun plans and assessments for teaching them in a multi-draft process, and practice teaching some aspects of them to each other.  It’s great.  You’ll love it, especially if you’ve ever felt a qualm at the prospect of teaching iambic pentameter.

ENGL 451.01 (12006)
Nineteenth-Century British Writers
Dr. Brent Kinser
T/R 12:35–1:50 p.m.

The nineteenth century continues to exert a major influence on ways that we engage the world, be it through the lens of environmentalism, materialism, racism, or any of the other “isms” that have served to shape and in some ways to limit western thought in the past two centuries. For just one example, many of you will note the allusion in the course title. In this course we will explore a select few of the remarkable, earnest, canonical figures of the nineteenth century in Britain. As we seek to understand them, their work, and their era in new and relevant ways, we will at the same time come to a greater appreciation of their skill in adapting the English word to their various uses.
(Closed to freshmen 0-24 hours).

English 459.01 (12007)
Southern Literature—Literature of the Working Class
MWF 9:05-9:55 AM
Dr. Mae Miller Claxton

Dorothy Allison stated in an interview that “the deepest way to change people is to get them to inhabit the soul of another human being who is different from them. And that happens in story. That happens in literature.” We will read about people living on the margins of society—the uneducated, the poor, those without power. The works will be violent and dark. They will also be hopeful and uplifting. They will shake you to your core and make you question your views of the world. Planned novels (subject to change!) will be Janisse Ray’s Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, Harry Crews’s A Childhood, Ron Rash’s World Made Straight, Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina, and Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone plus works by Pam Duncan and Silas House. We will read shorter works by William Faulkner, James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alice Walker. You will have a variety of writing assignments based on the works. Other possibilities might be a service project and field trip.

African American Literature & History
2:30-3:45 MW

This interdisciplinary course will offer an opportunity to students to simultaneously study African American literature and history in a course team taught by Dr. Debo from English and Dr. McRae from History. By focusing on three areas—slavery, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Civil Rights era—we will interrogate the complex relationships between history and literature through texts from both disciplines, and strive to answer questions like how did the historical experience of the transitions from freedom to slavery to freedom affect American history and literature? What roles did protest and resistance play in shaping black identity? How do writers change their times, and how does history shape cultural identity?

 (Closed to freshmen 0-24 hours)  PREQ: ENGL 101 and 102/202

English 470.01 (12009)
20th-Century and Contemporary Postcolonial Literature
11:00 – 12:15 TR
Dr. Laura Wright

Postcolonial studies involves the analysis of the interactions between European nations and the societies they colonized both during the period of colonization as well as after independence. In this course we will read a variety of postcolonial theoretical texts in conjunction with and as a way of understanding primary literary texts written by postcolonial authors from India, Africa, and Ireland.  Our theoretical grounding will help us explore issues of power, race, and gender with regard to colonial domination within the literary texts we will read.  In this course, we will work to develop an understanding of and appreciation for various literatures being written in the historic colonies and dependencies of the European powers as we examine how the colonial experience may have affected the type and content of literature produced in these areas. 

English 478.01 (12010): Film Theory
T/R 11:00 – 12:15 p.m
Dr. Margret Bruder

In this class we will be thinking deeply about the impact movies have on culture and how they speak to audiences. We will read and discuss some of the most important theorists in the field to figure out what it is about the medium that makes it such a central part of our lives.  In his influential study, The Language of New Media, Lev Manovich goes so far as to claim that cinema has become “a toolbox for all cultural communication” (92). Though we will be focusing on film form, authorship, stardom, genre and narrative, we will also consider how critics are thinking about more recent questions of sexuality and gender, race and ethnicity, globalism and new media. Screenings will include Hitchcock’s Rear Window (above), Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon, Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, Chris Marker’s La Jetée, and Larry and Andy Wachowski’s The Matrix.

Whether you make films yourself or just love watching them, knowing how filmmakers and scholars have thought about cinema will enhance your own interaction with the movies.

Gender Studies
Dr. Laura Wright
Thursday 6:00 – 8:50 p.m.
Asheville

This course will focus on world literature by and about women in order to explore the ways that our assumptions about gender and gender role behavior are shaped by the culture in which authors live and write, as well as by race, socioeconomic status, and the impact of colonization on an author’s nation of origin.  We will also read feminist and cultural theory that actively engages with western, transnational, and postcolonial perspectives in order to explore the following questions: what is women’s literature and what specific challenges have historically faced women who have engaged in a literary life?  What constitutes feminism? Texts will range from the 1725 novella Fantomina by British writer Eliza Haywood to American author Suzan-Lori Parks’s 2003 novel Getting Mother’s Body.  While this course will focus primarily on literature by women, we will also explore the idea of gender – both masculine and feminine – as socially constructed and performed behavior.

ENGL 606.70 (12055)
Nonfiction Writing Workshop
Wednesday 6:00-8:50
Ms. Deidre Elliott

Explore the current revolution in American literature--the rise of creative nonfiction--in this hands-on writing workshop. 
We'll write three types of creative nonfiction:  
   --  the personal essay
   -- the memoir
   -- the  nonfiction "short"

The nonfiction short is a brief burst of nonfiction energy that has a lot in common with the prose poem and flash fiction.  Essays and memoirs are currently the most popular literature published today. 

We'll read the best of contemporary nonfiction and we'll workshop our own experiments in truth-telling.  We'll also examine publishing possibilities. 

If you want to be published, this is the genre to choose.  Nonfiction outsells poetry and fiction 15 to 1.

Note:  This is an especially helpful class for future composition teachers. You'll learn--from the inside out--how to create dynamic nonfiction writing.

Contemporary Rhetoric
Monday, 6:00 – 8:50 p.m.
Asheville
Dr. Nate Kreuter

The 20th Century, and in particular the post-WWII period, witnessed a renaissance within rhetorical studies.  New theories were (and continue to be) promulgated in a quantity and with an audacity unprecedented in the history of rhetoric.  Similarly, past theories of rhetoric received renewed attention.  In this course we will study the major rhetorical theories of the 20th Century.  In many ways this entails studying major theorists as much as it does theories.  In this course we will read the major theorists of the past 100 years, examining their ideas in detail, and considering theoretical developments in light of world events, in particular WWII and the rhetorical dilemmas that it forced theorists to confront.  We will also examine the role of rhetoric within higher learning (the university).  The course is strongly recommended for MA students in the Rhetoric and Composition concentration, and will deal with many of the texts that students are responsible for in the comprehensive exams.

In the midst of an industrial revolution and across the English Channel from literal revolution, the British rode their governmental institutions and military prowess to world dominance. At the same time, in the world of literature, the reading public grew and helped to make prose fiction an impressively dominant form. From Austen to Wilde and from Armstrong to Lukács, we will seek to come to a better understanding of this remarkable literary period and some of the theoretical discussions that illuminate it. Along the way, we will make sure we cover the material in this period that you will need for comp preparation, including the poetry, and a lot more.

CONTEMPORARY COMPOSITION STUDIES
Topic:  READING: THE OTHER SIDE OF WRITING

This graduate seminar explores the theory and practice of reading, considering questions such as these:

• Who is a reader?  What is reading?  What is a mis-reading?  How does a text get read?
• How do understandings and misunderstandings occur among readers and writers?
• What implications emerge from answers to these questions for composition?  literature?  teaching?  public discourse?

 We’ll read, write, research, and talk….come join this conversation with scholars like these:

“What does it mean to read?”  Kathleen McCormick  (The Culture of Reading and the Teaching of English)
“Understanding comes to fruition only in the response.”  Mikhail Bakhtin (“Discourse in the Novel”)
“I know there are readers in the world, as well as many other good people in it, who are no readers at all,--   who find themselves ill at ease, unless they are let into the whole secret from first to last, of every thing which concerns you.”  Laurence Sterne (Tristram Shandy)
