CRW 6130-001 [ref. #11501] FICTION WRITING will meet Tuesdays from 3:30-6:15 p.m. with Professor Rita Ciresi. DESCRIPTION This course will function primarily as a workshop. Students will write and revise at least twenty-five pages of fiction (flash fiction, short stories, or novel chapters), which will be submitted on a regular basis for class critique. Assigned readings may include:

1. Excerpts from short stories and novels by contemporary writers such as Alice Munro, Jim Shepard, Chang-Rae Lee, Ian McEwan, Jeffrey Eugenides, and Margaret Atwood. We'll examine how these authors establish character, structure plot, create a strong voice, provide compelling description, and manipulate point of view.

2. Kaui Hart Hemmings' short story, "The Minor Wars" from House of Thieves, which she then turned into a full-length novel, The Descendants.

3. Reading Like A Writer, Francine Prose 4. Articles (available online) from Publishers Weekly, Authors Guild Bulletin, Poets and Writers,

and The New York Times that address some of the challenges facing authors as they seek publication in an ever-changing marketplace.

This course is an advanced workshop designed for students in the MFA program and the graduate certificate program in creative writing. MFA students whose primary focus is poetry or creative nonfiction are extremely welcome to join the course.

Students enrolled in other tracks of the English graduate program may petition to join the course provided they have taken at least one previous class in fiction writing and provide a ten-page writing sample to the instructor that demonstrates graduate-level knowledge of fiction techniques.

Non-degree-seeking students (and graduate students in departments other than English) who wish to enroll in this course must petition the instructor for a permit. Please contact Rita Ciresi at [email protected] with a brief memo detailing your reasons for wishing to take the course. Also please list your past course work in fiction writing and include a ten-page sample of your fiction. REQUIREMENTS At least 25 pages of revised fiction.

CRW 6331-001 [ref. #15890] POETRY WRITING will meet Fridays from 2:30-5:15 p.m. with Professor Jay Hopler. DESCRIPTION This course is a creative writing workshop in which the original work of the participants will be read and discussed. The work of established and up-and-coming authors (not just poets, necessarily) will be examined as well. Students will also be required to attend the poetry readings that take place during National Poetry Month (April 2013) and critically engage both the texts being performed and the performances of those texts. TEXTS A Selection of Required Texts (not a complete list):

How Like Foreign Objects, by Alexis Orgera

Behind My Eyes, by Li-Young Lee Curio, by John Nieves

NB: The authors of the required texts listed above will be visiting the class to discuss their work and to answer any questions about their work and about poetry more generally. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS FULFILLED MA Lit elective MA R/C: 1-2 other electives MFA poetry track requirement

ENC 6333-901 [ref. #23604] CONTEMPORARY RHETORICS will meet Tuesdays from 6:30-9:15 p.m. with Professor Marc Santos. DESCRIPTION This course will survey 20th and 21st century movements in rhetorical theory. The first section of the course will provide a philosophical backdrop for understanding rhetorical theory. We will pay particular attention to the debate between Heidegger and Levinas. The second section of the course will look at the advent of postmodern theories and their introduction into rhetorical scholarship. This section will highlight Berlin’s “socio-epistemic” rhetoric and more contemporary challenges to such critical pedagogy. In the third section of the course, we will read 4 new books in rhetorical theory: Bruno Latour’s Modes of Existence, Thomas Rickert’s Ambient Rhetoric, D. Diane Davis’s Inessential Solidarity, and Jennifer Edbauer Rice’s Distant Publics. We will read these books across the debate between Heidegger and Levinas, the resonances of postmodern theories, and Bruno Latour’s hypothesis as to “why critique has run out of steam.”

In essence, we will be addressing contemporary rhetorics, what comes after postmodernity, in terms of what I hesitantly call a turn away from persuasion and toward an ethical materialism.

ENL 6228-901 [ref. #14276] SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH LITERATURE: NUTSHELLS, BOWERS, DOGGEHOLES, AND CLOSETS: READING SPACE(S) will meet Thursdays from 6:30-9:15 p.m. with Professor Heather Meakin. DESCRIPTION In this survey of seventeenth-century British poetry, prose, and drama, we will look at some of the ways early modern writers understood the role of place and space in enabling the individual to know and be known. If “positioning is integral to knowing” (Rendell, 2000), how did the manipulation of literal two- or three-dimensional space (e.g., the space of the page; the “wooden O” of the stage; domestic architectural space), and the deployment of metaphorical space (e.g., all of the former, as well as the space of dream, imagination, memory; the space of

Spring 2014 – Graduate Bulletin – Page 6

the soul) enable or inhibit various kinds of reading and being read? We will read some modern and early modern spatial theory including some artistic, religious and scientific writing on perspective. These readings will help us explore bibliographical and literary instances of space that is materially employed, or represented, or used metaphorically in order to read and/or to know (since we must acknowledge these are not always the same thing).

We will read from examples of the following: astrological charts and treatises; commonplace books and miscellanies; manuscript diaries; maps; emblems and emblem books; funeral monuments; title pages; architexts; English Bibles. The following authors will be drawn from (in some cases a single poem or short prose/poetry excerpt; in other cases a complete drama, essay, etc.): Dee, Spenser, Donne, Hoby, Drayton, Lanyer, Bacon, Shakespeare, Jonson, Wroth, Herbert, Vaughan, Browne, Clifford, Cavendish, Milton, Marvell, Bunyan, Pepys, Traherne, Behn, Dryden, Astell. We will make our way through this material with at least some awareness that the seventeenth century was one that witnessed the invention of the telescope and the microscope; the proliferation of religious schism; continued global exploration and colonization; Descartes’ interrogation of skepticism; Hobbes’ raising/writing of Leviathan; and Newton’s Principia; all of which contributed profoundly to early modern configurations of space and place.

Possible foci (student input welcome): sacred space, gendered space, liminal space; property; proximity; enclosure and containment; “empty” and “blank” space; the spatial implications of metaphor, simile, paradox. TEXTS Recommended Texts (i.e., advantageous to read before the course begins): Thomas Corns, A History of Seventeenth-Century English Literature (Blackwell, 2007)

[available (free!) as e-book via USF Library]. Graham Parry, The Seventeenth Century: The Intellectual and Cultural Context of English

Literature 1603-1700 (Longman, 1989) [no longer in print but many copies available second-hand on amazon.com].

LIT 6934-002 [ref. #14131] SELECTED TOPICS: US LATINA/O LITERATURE: (RE)WRITING THE CARRIBEAN: LATINA HISTORICAL FICTION will meet Thursdays from 3:30-6:15 p.m. with Professor Ylce Irizarry. DESCRIPTION This course will be topically, geographically, and gender focused: students will read Historical Fiction about the Hispanic Caribbean, including books about Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico, written by female authors. Students in this course will explore the major themes and issues related to Historical Fiction including national narratives, novels of dictatorship, foundational fictions, and ecohistories. Certain literary/critical practices will be emphasized: Autoethnography, Meta-fiction, Revisionist Writing, Ecocriticism, Racialization. The literatures will be written from or about the perspective of US Latinas of Hispanic descent: Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican. We will discuss how women authors depicting these communities engage postmodern concerns about history, violence, language, gender, sexuality, nation, transnationalism, and self. We will consider the role of genre in fiction’s deconstructions of national, communal, and individual identity. REQUIREMENTS As a graduate seminar, this course also focuses on the professional development of its members. Assignments are designed to introduce and enhance critical reading, research, presentation, and pedagogical skills. The Oral Assignments give students the opportunity to practice public speech and class discussion moderation.

LIT 6934-003 [ref. #15894] SELECTED TOPICS: ROGUE FILMMAKERS will meet Mondays from 3:30-6:15 p.m. with Professor Phillip Sipiora. DESCRIPTION This course will examine films by revolutionary filmmakers who have deviated significantly and strategically from the traditions that have preceded them. We will consider the ways in which these filmmakers have challenged cinematic, intellectual, aesthetic, and cultural codes over the past nine decades, beginning in 1915. More specifically, we will examine different perspectives of popular culture and art according to shifts in cultural and intellectual assumptions over time. We will give special attention to discussing various ways of "reading" films, in particular those films that might be considered experimental, oppositional, or interrogative. A critical principle of interrogation is irony—as cinematic motif, explicit and implicit metaphor, and epistemological mode. An undaunted concern for irony and its underlying supposition of evaluation will be a critical driving force in our collective analysis of rogue cinema. This course is directed toward graduate students who have a special interest in film, an intense passion for movie art. Filmmakers that are particularly innovative often tend to be aggressive in their depiction of violence, sex, and language in their cultural and technical interrogations of social mores. Whenever possible, we will view Director’s Cut releases. Do not take this course if you are offended by the aggressive representation or depiction of any of these issues. This course requires intellectual curiosity and an open-minded cinematic sensibility.

LIT 6934-902 [ref. #15895] SELECTED TOPICS: PRACTICE IN TEACHING PROFESSIONAL & TECHNICAL WRITING will meet Mondays from 6:30-9:15 p.m. with Professor Julie Staggers. DESCRIPTION Professional and Technical Communication Practicum LIT 6934 Why should Rhetoric & Composition, Literature, and Creative Writing graduate students enroll in the Professional and Technical Communication Practicum? (Practicum covers the Professional Writing, Writing for Engineers, and Writing for Health Sciences service courses.)

It counts towards the Professional and Technical Communication graduate certificate. This certificate, designed for students from all English Studies graduate programs, welcomes applications from graduate students who wish to develop expertise in the theory and teaching of writing for the workplace. A broader approach to English studies now will help you qualify for a larger range of academic jobs later.

You will expand and diversify your teaching experience in preparation for the job market. By successfully completing this practicum, you’ll become prepared to teach Technical Writing for Health Sciences (ENC 2210) and Communications for Engineers (ENC 3246) on your own beginning the following term. A quick look at the MLA job list for this year reveals a higher proportion of generalist jobs.

You will develop pedagogy. You can teach your own project and offer it to potential employers as evidence of your ability to build curriculum.

You will connect your pedagogy with the theory that undergirds it. Professional Writing is an umbrella term that covers all kinds of nonacademic communication. By engaging with Professional Writing as a teaching practice and a scholarly focus, you might find ways to enrich your own research agenda. Professional Writing scholars regularly engage with and publish about topics such as:

identity politics cultural studies new media

design ethics pedagogy epistemology intercultural communication You will work with un/familiar technologies. We’ll spend some time broadening and/or improving our technological literacy. I’ll meet you wherever you are at, so don’t worry about a lack of experience. We’ll achieve these goals by:

Developing syllabi and calendars for ENC 2210 and ENC 3246 Contributing to a pool of assignments for these courses to share and to integrate into a

teaching portfolio for your use on the job market Reading and talking about PW scholarship Drafting a teaching philosophy that includes PW for use on the job market
