  Chinese Literature
China is the only country in the world with a literature written in one language for more than 3,000 consecutive years.This continuity results largely from the nature of the written language itself.
Folk, or vernacular, literature was long considered beneath the notice of members of the scholar-official class, who were the arbiters of literary taste.
Chinese literature may be divided into three major historical periods that roughly correspond to those of Western literary history: the classical period, from the 6th century BC through the 2nd century AD; the medieval period, from the 3rd century to the late 12th century; and the modern period, from the 13th century to the present.

2:30-3:45P TR (30) 3 cr The Bible is a work of unparalleled importance in the history of Western culture, but it is first and foremost an anthology of ancient literature, parts of which appear remarkably modern in their compression, boldness, and ironic subtlety.
But we shall look carefully at the Bible's own view of human history as radically contingent, and at some imaginative responses which we've come to take for granted, such as the notions of election, revelation, and a personal God.
We shall also look more briefly at the way the canonical texts were reinterpreted and revised by the authors of the New Testament.

 , English 6339 (Canon Formation and American Literature)
As we construct a historicized genealogy of various notions of American literature, we will bring a great deal of recent scholarship to bear on a number of documents including novels, literary histories, anthologies, bibliographical tools, and scholarly editions.
Students will investigate various late nineteenth-century and twentieth-century efforts to construct different canons of American literature in order to understand how literary canons are extensions of and circumscribed by larger networks of cultural and political relations.
One's final grade for the semester will be based upon the grades from your reading notes (20%), ten short 10-15 minute oral reports (30%) and one 15-20 page research paper exclusive of notes and a list of works cited (50%).

Using a wide range of texts (literature, documents, journalistic accounts, editorial opinions), we will investigate how the films represent domestic race relations by displacing them to foreign sites such as the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
In addition, we will consider how the production of each film has been conditioned by specific U.S. foreign policy concerns and the necessity of propagating values that promote free enterprise and individualism.
Course requirements include: one short paper (6-7 pp) which will be expanded into a seminar paper (10-12 pp) and two exams.
