Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man — LIT2277.01
Before Donald Glover donned prosthetic whiteface for the “Teddy Perkins” episode of Atlanta, before Get Out flipped the contemporary horror movie on white audiences, Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel Invisible Man turned the bildungsroman, a realist staple since the 18th century, into a wild phantasmagoria about structural racism in the U.S. and the experience of Black Americans. “All
Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man — LIT2277.01
“All novels are about certain minorities,” Ralph Ellison insisted in a 1955 interview with The Paris Review. “The individual is a minority," he went on. "The universal in the novel–and isn’t that what we’re all clamoring for these days?–is reached only through the depiction of the specific man in a specific circumstance.” If this assertion is still to be believed, then the the
Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man — LIT2277.01
"All novels are about certain minorities," Ralph Ellison insisted in a 1955 interview with The Paris Review. "The individual is a minority. The universal in the novel--and isn't that what we're all clamoring for these days?--is reached only through the depiction of the specific man in a specific circumstance." If this is true, then the enduring power of Ellison's Invisible Man
Rape/Culture: Sexual Violence and the Visual Arts, from Giambologna to Kara Walker — AH2405.01
“Heroic rape” is no stranger to art history. Under this rubric, students have been introduced to the field and its concerns via crisp photographs of canonical works in which Roman foundation legends, etiological myths, and political absolutism are prescribed and perpetuated via the trope of (eroticized) sexual violence. The existence of a ‘rape culture’ in modern life in

Quantifying and monitoring the abundance of particular organisms is often the major endeavor in conservation and ecology research.

Re-Creating the Classics — LIT2318.01
"Why read the classics?" Italo Calvino famously asked. What does it mean to be "contemporary"? Why is it that our meditations on, and debates with, these landmark works never seem to be "settled"? Why is it that some of our most deeply experimental, politically combative, and visionary writers continually find inspiration in canonical works? In our exploration of these

Re-Creating the Classics — LIT2318.02
A contemporary drama critic recently wrote: “Whenever you return to something—to a play, a song, a scene—you bring your past with you. And not just what you’vebeen through and figured out, but what your culture has been through and figured out too, and what you are both still going through.”
How is it that a work written hundreds or thousands of years ago can resonate so
