5650-001: The Dynamics of Forgetting: Memory, History, and the Nation. This advanced seminar will investigate forgetting and amnesia—both individual and collective—in literature, history, and theory. The first half of the course will explore individual forgetting by focused discussion of a number of important modernist novels—and of work by various cultural and political theorists. The second half of the course will focus on national forgetting—by considering a series of texts and films having to do with slavery and the American South, including the aftermath of slavery as played out in various contemporary debates.

ENGL 5650-004: Capitalism and the Novel. The English novel has long been seen as a literary form both stimulated by and in turn stimulating modern capitalism, that form of economic life described by Max Weber as “labor in the service of a rational organization.” But the novel has always had a complicated relationship to capitalism, sometimes seeming to supply narratives that supported the ethical disposition Weber outlined, and at other times telling stories directly challenging that ethical disposition. This course will focus on four novels and four relevant works of social theory in an effort to explore how literature works both in concert with and as a brake on the “rational organization” that has defined modern capitalism throughout its evolving history.
