ENG 243. Contemporary American Migrations. 3 Credit Hours.

What does it mean to say America is a nation of immigrants? As a literary form, the American immigrant narrative describes the process of migration, Americanization and (un)settlement. How do authors portray immigrant experiences? Which stories are privileged and which silenced? Centering Miami and the state of Florida, we will read and watch narratives of American immigration, attending to how race, gender, class and sexuality as well as the changing character and policies of place have shaped immigrant experiences. In addition, we will explore the following questions: Is ethnicity in opposition to Americanness? How is identity transformed by migration? How and why is home remembered? Finally, what are the constitutive tropes of American immigrant fiction, and what narrative strategies are deployed to tell these stories?

ENG 244. Contemporary Disaster Fiction. 3 Credit Hours.

It seems we are confronted almost daily with some new disaster. From natural disasters spurred on by climate change to global pandemics, from war and genocide to never-ending recessions, poverty, and racism – living in the twenty-first century means living with the effects of daily catastrophe. While the outlines of these disasters as they are reported in the media and represented by Hollywood are predictable, the explorations of disaster in literature are less familiar. This course will explore how contemporary literature imagines catastrophe, focusing on the social, political, and historical contexts of disaster fiction. How does contemporary literature question, rewrite, or challenge what a disaster means? How does it encourage us to think about disaster differently, and, most importantly, to change our responses to it?

ENG 246. The Harlem Renaissance and Its Afterparties. 3 Credit Hours.

In order to fully appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of the Harlem Renaissance, we will grapple with music and visual culture as well as literary texts. In other words, this is a multimedia course! Students will be asked to consider the ways in which film, music, dance, and literature conceptualize race in America. Together, we will use these various modes of artistic production to question the distinctions between spontaneity and performance, between music and literature, and between the Black arts of the present and the Black arts of the past. Students will be responsible for two 4-6 page close readings, reading quizzes, and a final project entitled Afterparties of the Harlem Renaissance in which they will connect the work of a Harlem Renaissance artist with the work of a contemporary artist.

ENG 247. Afrofuturism. 3 Credit Hours.

The massive success of the film Black Panther and Janelle Monae's album Dirty Computer suggests that African American artists are providing broadly resonant solutions to our most urgent political concerns, constructing alternative models of liberation and self-governance through art. These works are often described as Afrofuturist, an outlook that blends science fiction tropes like space exploration, post-apocalyptic landscapes, and technological advancement with Afrocentric themes and aesthetics. In this course, we will turn a critical eye on contemporary works by Afrofuturist thinkers like Sun Ra, Nnedi Okorafor, and Octavia Butler. Through a variety of different mediums (political theory, literature, film, music, and visual culture), we will seek to answer why so many Black thinkers have turned to speculative and science fiction to imagine social and political change. This is a reading and writing intensive class. In some weeks, students are expected to read entire novels, so make sure to get a head start on reading-heavy weeks. By studying films and music released within the past several years alongside works of literature, it is my hope that students will turn the same critical lens that they use on literature to the media they consume every day.

ENG 248. Curiosity: Vice and Virtue in Science and Literature. 3 Credit Hours.

Though we now recognize curiosity as a mostly positive character trait, most western Europeans from antiquity through the middle ages considered curiosity a dangerous vice. This perspective has lived on in sayings like curiosity killed the cat, in stories about both mad scientists and nosy children, and in our society’s frequent anxieties about the unknown effects of new technologies, like cloning. What happened to bring about such a dramatic change in how curiosity was valued? What might make this desire to know either good or evil, hopeful or dangerous? To explore this question, this seminar will direct our own curiosity to a range of examples from both science and literature about characters who display exceptional curiosity, along with the consequences brought about by their desire to know. We will explore the lives of historical scientists alongside literature’s myriad stories of men and women who knew too much, from Adam and Eve to Alice in Wonderland, from Doctor Faustus to Doctor Frankenstein and Sherlock Holmes. We will examine theological arguments that depicted curiosity as a vice; the biblical account of the Fall; stories of mad scientists; fairy tales; and depictions of detectives and spies on television and film. Together, we will think carefully about what might have seemed dangerous about knowledge in the past, and what might remain dangerous about it (and our own pursuits in the classroom) today.

ENG 346. Black Girl Magic. 3 Credit Hours.

People have long thought that Black girls were magic, sometimes literally. From Nina Simone’s unofficial title as the high priestess of soul, to the theatrical machinations of female practitioners of black magic in popular Hollywood films like Pirates of the Caribbean, the figure of the voodoo priestess haunts representations of Black women. In this class we will explore both the stereotypes and the reality of the intersection between gender and African-based religions. From the magical practices of hoodoo and rootwork in the American South, to obeah, Santeria, and Vodou in the Caribbean, African-based religions in the Americas have long been places where women can ascend to the highest levels of leadership, and draw from the example of powerful female spirits. Thus, these religions offer a unique perspective on Black feminism in America and the Caribbean. Through literature, music, and film, this class will ask students to learn the history of these various traditions of Black girl magic, and to meditate on the future of Black feminist religious practices in today’s America. By pairing with a Miami-area community organization that centers on Black women’s empowerment, students will engage directly with the dynamic practices of African Diasporic spirituality throughout the course.

ENG 348. Modern African Literature and Film. 3 Credit Hours.

This class will give students an introduction to the amazing range of African literature and film from the era of independence from colonialism in the late 1950s, through the postcolonial Cold War era, into the post-apartheid, post-Arab Spring present. African writers and film-makers have been unusually politically engaged, but they are also often aesthetically experimental, and their works tell stories that often challenge preconceived notions about the continent. We will look at some of the most historically important writers and film-makers, and examine a few of the big debates in African literary studies, such as the question of why and how writers use the languages of the former colonizers; but the class will also emphasize questions of gender and sexuality in African cultural production, and highlight the vibrant work of female and queer writers and film-makers.
