Spring 2008 Advance Course Information This information effective for spring 2008. Check with instructor the first day of class for any changes. [ LTFR-231 ] 231. Flaubert: Modern Literature and Contemporary Criticism. Note: This course is also taught as LTMO 231. Instructor:
Dick Terdiman Course Description This seminar will try to make sense of the relationship between “modernist” themes that emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century in Europe (with Flaubert chosen as a privileged instance), and on the other hand fundamental postmodern, poststructuralist, feminist, and postcolonial critical practices that intend to radicalize, rewrite or subvert these themes. What generic continuities, what conceptual reversals link these two moments? And what historical and cultural lessons can be drawn from these links? We will read a quantity of Flaubert’s fiction (and “theoretical” material in his Correspondance), and coordinate these readings with examples drawn from critical and theoretical material from the past few decades up to the present. Readings in French and English; discussion in English. Students will write short discussion papers, and a final paper will be due following the conclusion of the seminar. |
