LITERATURE AND JUSTICE

In this seminar, we will examine a series of texts from the Western literary tradition--along with a few seminal works of classic and contemporary cinema--to consider how and why they thematize characters' quests for justice. From the ties of kinship to the bonds of citizenship, from the articulation to the deconstruction of transcendental moral codes, from the traumatic demands of law to the (often equally traumatic) exigencies of revenge, we will explore the many intricacies of "justice" as both an ubiquitous literary topos and an abiding ethical issue. Authors studied will include Aeschylus, Sophocles, Shakespeare, Molière, the Marquis de Sade, Heinrich von Kleist, Franz Kafka, Jean Anouilh, Jean-Paul Sartre, W.H. Auden and Martin Amis. Secondary readings will be drawn primarily from philosophical and psychoanalytic sources, such as G.W.F. Hegel, Heinz Kohut, and Jacques Lacan. Along with filmed adaptations of our primary literary works, we will view and discuss the movies Claude Lanzmann's "Shoah" and Joel Schumacher's "Falling Down.

MEMORY

Memory is arguably the most important faculty that we possess. Not surprisingly, memory has been a ubiquitous topic in poetry, science, fiction, and in the media. Ironically, memory's value is perhaps best understood when it ceases to exist. Indeed, it isn't hard to imagine the devastation that comes with memory loss. In this course, we will survey various components of memory, including its role in writing and history, and its existence in various non-human populations. In addition, we will explore the fragility of memory, including distortions, unusual memories, and basic forgetting. Readings will include poems, theoretical essays, scientific articles, and fiction. Assignments will consist of essays, opinion pieces, and creative stories.

ON DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES

In the dead of night it is not uncommon for even the most socially staid of individuals to fly, to ride an elephant at breakneck speed, to visit with the dead, or to expose themselves in public. Ancient Egyptians struggled to understand how and why we dream, as have countless individuals in other times and cultures. Some thinkers, ancient and modern, have dismissed dreams as essentially meaningless byproducts of natural processes. Others have taken dreams seriously as a primary means of access to an ordinarily imperceivable world in which one can commune with spirits and deities and receive from them valuable information about future events or even one's own health. The implications of this belief have led to vigorous theological debates as to whose dreams may be trusted (and, alternatively, whose need to be actively suppressed). From Freud onward, many have felt that dreams offer the key not to other worlds but to the complicated realm of the psyche. Over the course of our semester we'll look at how scientists, philosophers, hypochondriacs, pious pagans and monotheists, opium addicts, psychologists, playwrights, novelists, artists, and film directors have understood dreams and been inspired by them. Authors whose works we'll read include Aristotle, Cicero, Chung Tzu, Freud, Carl Jung, Andre Breton, H.P. Lovecraft, Jorge Borges, Ursula Le Guin, Neil Gaimon, and many others. Special attention will likewise be paid to the phenomenon of lucid dreaming and to the immense influence this practice has had on the creative output of both writers and filmmakers.

THE PROFITS OF RACE

Does race appear in American life in the ways we make, distribute, and consume goods?  If so, how? Through film, literary criticism, history, ethnography and philosophy, this course will examine how race manifests as an economic relationship. We will focus on the legacies of chattel slavery, the interconnections of race and property, and ongoing struggles for racial justice. The course is grounded in what Cedric Robinson has referred to as the “Black radical tradition”: a centuries-long intellectual and political tradition oriented towards contesting the definition of a specific group of people (Black people) as property. We will examine ways that this central economic claim, which underpinned the chattel slavery system, continues to appear in our own society, in prisons, international migration system, residential segregation, underemployment, and other ways.
