Overview of class

This course introduces theories and central questions about form alongside relevant literary and visual texts, focusing on classic and modern accretions of formalism as a method of literary interpretation, as inflected—and debated—by contemporary critics such as Ellen Rooney, Caroline Levine, Colleen Lye, Eugenie Brinkema, and Anahid Nersessian, among others. While the U.S. predominates assigned primary texts (novels, poetry, film, visual art), scenes therein require attention to the global embedded within that national project, as well as race, gender, and class as historical formations subject to revision at the site of reading.
