We will discuss how animals and human-animal relationships are portrayed in texts by major writers of the period, including Anna Sewell, Jack London, H.G. Wells, Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, Ursula K. Le Guin, Alan Moore, J.M. Coetzee, and others; we will also examine stories about animal agents in different genres (novels, short fiction, nonfiction) and media (print texts, graphic narratives, cinema). Situating cultural representations of animals at the intersection of literature, philosophy, and science, we will combine close readings of individual texts with a wider investigation of issues raised by narrative engagements with nonhuman beings.In exploring how post-Darwinian narratives depict animal worlds and human-animal relationships, we will draw on ideas from narratology as well as critical animal studies, a cross-disciplinary field of inquiry that reconsiders assumptions about the primacy of the human--as well as institutions and practices based on such assumptions. At the same time, the module will underscore the relevance of literature as a means for engaging with broader issues related to the environment, including conservation, biodiversity, and anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems. I. Reading List: Primary Texts**Note: Films are included among our primary texts. Given the difficulties in finding an acceptable time slot for a group screening, DVDs of the films will be made available through the department and the main library (online rental is another option). Please be considerate of the needs of your fellow course-mates when borrowing films and try, where possible, to watch films with others.

University of DurhamDepartment of English StudiesSpecial Topic (ENGL2501)2014-15The Australian Legend, 1890s-1990s(Dr Carver)AimsThis module is designed to introduce students to the (often under-appreciated) riches of Australian Literature. It focusses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary texts, but uses them to explore and interrogate notions of Australian identity from the earliest European encounters with this ‘Fatal Shore’ (and its indigenous inhabitants), right up until the modern day. We examine the roles of the convict past, geographical isolation, an alien (and generally hostile) natural environment, and a rigorously enforced White Australian Policy, in creating ‘The Australian Legend’, a collection of behavioural stereotypes and rhetorical tropes that helped to define national identity within the six colonies in the years leading up to Federation (1901), becoming a common reference-point (or point of departure) for the literature of the following century. In tracing Australia’s development from an Anglo-Celtic penal colony to a multi-cultural democracy, we also bring out differences in cultural perception, between those who see Australian literature as essentially autochthonous (born, so to speak, from the very soil of Australia) and those who regard it as embedded in, and contributing to, a much larger (and longer) Western Tradition.ScheduleSeminar 1.

As well as looking at the main generic features of the campus novel, its interaction with other literary models, and its thematic and stylistic evolution, we will also examine how the campus novel has responded to developments in British and American higher education over the period.In advance of the course, and during vacations, it would be advisable to read as many of the primary texts listed below as possible and perhaps also familiarise yourself with some of the issues surrounding the campus novel by looking at the background reading section. Most of the novels listed are available in paperback editions (these are indicated), while others (marked *) can be acquired second-hand (through sites such as ). A full reading list will be available on the Duo site, along with scanned copies of some of the secondary reading and links to digital resources.Seminar ScheduleMichaelmas1. Beginnings: EnglandC. P.

Mark McGurl, The Program Era: Postwar Fiction and the Rise of Creative Writing (Harvard University Press, 2009); argues that the rise of university creative writing programmes has been the most significant influence on contemporary American fiction, thereby re-situating the idea of ‘university fiction’. Merritt Moseley (ed.), The Academic Novel: New and Classic Essays (Chester Academic Press, 2007); a wide-ranging collection of essays on the context of contemporary campus fiction and on some of the best-known examples.Mortimer R. Proctor, The English University Novel (University of California Press, 1957); a useful survey of the university – or largely ‘Oxbridge’ – novel from its beginnings in the nineteenth century through the pre-war period of the twentieth.Prescribed reading on individual authors and novels will be provided in the full reading list for the course.BA Module: Writing Prose FictionVidyan RavinthiranReading ListWhen we think of fiction, we think of plot, characterisation – maybe themes. But novels and short stories are ultimately constructed out of prose: words, clauses, sentences and paragraphs. In this module, the close reading of prose becomes a way of learning how to write it. (And vice versa, because writing helps us enter into the compositional practice of other authors and understand the stylistic decisions they’ve made.) Looking closely at effects of sound, rhythm and syntax in literary prose, you’ll explore how authors shape the experience of reading – and learn how to create similar effects in your own writing.For each seminar, you’ll read a novel or collection of short stories, some of which I list below to get you started. These works of fiction will (I hope!) inspire you to writing of your own, which we’ll consider in class alongside extracts from the text in question. I also include here some critical texts to start you thinking about ‘prose’, ‘fiction’ and the relationship between the two. The Wood and Forster are particularly lively – as readable, in fact, as novels!A more detailed reading list and description of seminars will be provided at our first, on James Joyce. Before this seminar, I would like you to read both DUBLINERS and PORTRAIT (they add up to the length of your average novel) and select a paragraph of Joyce’s prose you think worthy of interest. We will discuss these choices in class.CriticismE.M.

Ones thus marked are all available cheaply.PrimaryUnless otherwise indicated, early-modern texts are available (usually in digitised form) on Early English Books Online (EEBO) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO). You should also find Literature Online (LION) valuable for a range of texts, especially nineteenth century and after. As your interests develop, you may also want to make use of newspaper databases such as Nineteenth Century newspapers; Times Online; New York Times online; and Gale Newsvault. Most scholars now agree that these resources have revolutionised the possibilities of primary research. For excellent general introductions to authors and other relevant historical figures, please use the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) and American National Biography. All these are available under library databases. Preliminary reading and use of these should be undertaken as soon as possible. Similarly, please do make active use of Jstor, MLA, and hard copy and electronic journal searches/articles in order to shape and follow your particular interests in the subject. This list is suggestive, rather than exhaustive. It is probably best to start with some good secondary overviews, and then move to some of the primary texts on EEBO and other databases. This subject is a very large and rich one, and you will be encouraged to develop your own interests among the many possible angles available.Please do get in touch with any questions as soon as you wish. I will be contactable on e-mail more or less continuously across the vacation period.PRIMARY(I have standardised spelling here; when searching on EEBO please use 'variant spellings' or just begin searching via authors' names).Jean de Lery: History of a voyage to the land of Brazil, otherwise called America trans.

It is designed to encourage students to analyze in detail the formal techniques of Waugh’s fiction and non-fiction, to appraise the force of his critique of the modern world, and to what extent he can be viewed as an experimental writer. In addition, by including some consideration of film and television adaptations of Waugh’s books, notably Brideshead Revisited, this module provides students with the opportunity to reflect critically on film adaptations of novels. Seminars will be supplemented by material from Waugh’s non-fiction prose writings (autobiographical, travel writing, essays and reviews). Primary ReadingDecline and Fall (1928)Vile Bodies (1930)Black Mischief (1932)A Handful of Dust (1934)Waugh in Abyssinia (1936)Scoop (1938)Brideshead Revisited (1945)Please attempt to read as many of these texts as possible over the summer vacation. All the primary texts have been reprinted in Penguin editions, which are affordable and adequate for our purposes (an annotated scholarly edition from OUP is in progress with two Durham staff members among the editorial team). The following bibliography is selective rather than exhaustive [Durham shelfmark in square brackets]. Remember that in a single author special topic there will be a great demand for books from the library. There are a couple of ways to minimize this pressure: (i) please do recall books that are out on loan (it is possible that additional copies can be purchased by the librarian when books are under high demand); (ii) make use on the Online Resources (e.g. JSTOR articles) including the Waugh websites listed below.

Organised around a series of historical/conceptual ‘snapshots’, it begins with dynamite violence at the dawn of the twentieth century and moves forward to encompass the mass-media spectacles and neo-colonial wars of the present day. Within this framework, the module touches down in a range of geopolitical settings and contexts — from Sheffield to Nablus, New York to Khartoum. The structure of the module is therefore designed to actively dramatise the complex network of global relations that defines the reality and representation of terror. If, as Salman Rushdie asserts, “everywhere is now a part of everywhere else” — if “our lives, our stories” flow “into one another’s” (with potentially explosive results) — then the texts and topics we will study together reflect this.Special attention will be paid to the following questions: What is the precise nature of the relationship between fiction and terrorism? And in what ways might the line between reality and representation become blurred? How has our understanding of terrorism been shaped, influenced or subverted by textual production? Is it possible to speak of an ‘aesthetics’ of terrorism? And can a terrorist ever be described as a kind of ‘author’ or ‘interpreter’ of culture? Why do fantasies of terroristic destruction have such a hold on the creative imagination? Does the critical analysis of fiction take us closer to (or indeed further away from) a stable definition of what terrorism actually is? The module will also address ongoing debates about multiculturalism, globalization, civil liberties, trauma, the legitimacy of violence and so on. Students will give short seminar presentations and the module will be examined by two extended essays.PRIMARY TEXTS? Texts marked with an asterisk * will be provided as photocopies.? You are strongly advised to get ahead with your reading/viewing over the course of the summer. ? A note on films: I will pass on plenty of tips and pointers on film studies for those of you who haven’t worked in this area before. Group screenings will be set up when appropriate. However, given the difficulties in finding a time slot to suit everyone, DVDs of all the films included here will be made available through the department and the main library (online rental/streaming is another option). Please be considerate of the needs of your fellow course-mates when borrowing films and try to watch with others. If you decide to write on a particular film, you will be encouraged to closely engage with formal aspects of filmmaking and to use screengrabs to support your analysis. You might therefore find it useful to purchase a copy for yourself. Lastly, remember that Carlos (dir. Olivier Assayas) is a very substantial piece of work (it was originally screened as a mini-series and is around 338 minutes in total, divided into 3 parts on DVD). You will need to plan your viewing accordingly. ? “We half-read a lot of theory, which we fully understood” (Anonymous member of the Baader-Meinhof Gang). A note on theory: You should bear in mind that this module will, necessarily, involve engaging with a range of theoretical material. As such, it should complement and/or extend the work you’ve done (or are doing) on ‘The Theory & Practice of Literary Criticism’. The ‘narrative’ of the course is dependent on certain theoretical concepts and you will be expected to respond to these in class discussions and in your written work. I should stress, however, that the course adheres to no fixed theoretical approach (although the lessons and legacies of Marxism, postcolonialism, psychoanalysis and trauma studies will figure prominently). You should see this as an open-ended opportunity to explore and critique a variety of contested theoretical positions on your own terms. ? For those of you looking for some initial background reading, I would recommend Matthew Carr, The Infernal Machine: An Alternative History of Terrorism (2011) as a good starting point. I. Explosions, Passions and After-Shocks (Introductory Session)Slavoj ?i?ek, extracts from Welcome to the Desert of the Real! Five Essays on September 11 and Related Dates (2002).* II. “Countermoves in the same game”: Anarchism, Dynamite & ModernityJoseph Conrad, The Secret Agent (1907).G. K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday (1908).III.

Scat Attack / Entertaining PainDavid Foster Wallace, ‘The Suffering Channel’ (from the collection Oblivion: Stories, 2004).*Note: You should also try to read Wallace’s short magazine pieces ‘Just Asking’ and ‘9/11: The View From the Midwest’ (both available via DUO). FURTHER READING? It would be impossible to reproduce every critical work that might be relevant to a particular author, filmmaker or theme. The following information (divided into clear categories to help with your planning) is therefore not exhaustive by any means and should not prevent you from exploring the field for yourself: journalism and reportage, legislation, documentary evidence etc. The possibilities are near enough endless, especially if you embrace the interdisciplinary spirit of the module. I will provide more specific tips about theoretical and contextual/historical reading as the weeks roll by. Also note that there are numerous studies of the major authors featured on the primary list. You can of course use these in your research, regardless of whether the question of terrorism is directly addressed. In terms of seeking out materials on the most recent work we’re looking at (where secondary criticism might be thin on the ground), browsing reviews and culture blogs can be a useful starting point.?
