| Description | This seminar considers various forms of (auto)affective writing (e.g., creative nonfiction, lyric memoir, neoconfessional, etc.). Traditionally the purview of female, queer, dis/abled, and/or racialized communities, self-accounting pushes back against the narrative assumptions and chrononormativities of auto/biographical writing, revealing the inability of the supposedly "right" kinds of "human" stories to account for the affective plurality of diverse lifeworlds. Using relevant concepts from psychoanalytic, feminist/queer/trans*, critical race, and narrative theory, we will assess the extent to which (auto)affective writings deconstruct the generic assumptions of conventional life writing and the humanist insistence on a coherent, fully narratable individual Self. Possible texts may include: Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Reveries of a Solitary Walker (1782); Walt Whitman's Specimen Days (1882); Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Tolkas (1933); Jean Genet, A Thief's Journal (1949); Cheryl Strayed's Wild (2012), Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts (2015); Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric (2013); Carmen Maria Machado's In a Dream House (2019); Alice Wong's Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life (2022). |

While reading such works as Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, Samuel Beckett's Endgame, and Octavia Butler's The Parable of the Sower, students in this class will investigate the ways that literature constructs both abled and disabled bodies, how those constructions intersect with both philosophical understandings of illness and the body, and how these issues intersect with other modes of identity, such as race, gender, and sexuality. Students will also be introduced to current tools and methods of literary disability studies. |

| Description | The girl who refuses to accept that "You are born, you grow up, you become a wife" has historically titillated and terrified Americans. Unlike Britain's Bridget Jones, the single girl is stigmatized as a "un"–unlovable, unwanted, and, ultimately, un-American. This noncompliant "unwife" must be managed. |

| Description | Why were traditional dances suppressed by colonial regimes? Why are dances reclaimed at moments of cultural renewal? What are the connections between the choreography of social dances and bids for cultural and political power? Reading fiction (written in English) from different cultures, students will examine how gender and racial identity are represented through the movements of dancing bodies, and how dance as a trope can express reinforcement of the social order as well as its disruption. |

| Description | This seminar considers various forms of (auto)affective writing (e.g., creative nonfiction, lyric memoir, neoconfessional, etc.). Traditionally the purview of female, queer, dis/abled, and/or racialized communities, self-accounting pushes back against the narrative assumptions and chrononormativities of auto/biographical writing, revealing the inability of the supposedly "right" kinds of "human" stories to account for the affective plurality of diverse lifeworlds. Using relevant concepts from psychoanalytic, feminist/queer/trans*, critical race, and narrative theory, we will assess the extent to which (auto)affective writings deconstruct the generic assumptions of conventional life writing and the humanist insistence on a coherent, fully narratable individual Self. Possible texts may include: Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Reveries of a Solitary Walker (1782); Walt Whitman's Specimen Days (1882); Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Tolkas (1933); Jean Genet, A Thief's Journal (1949); Cheryl Strayed's Wild (2012), Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts (2015); Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric (2013); Carmen Maria Machado's In a Dream House (2019); Alice Wong's Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life (2022). |

| Description | This seminar begins with a historical component about the literary formation of the community from early settlement (John Galt, William Dunlop, and Indigenous figures such as Ahyonwaeghs [Haudenausonee] and Maungwudaus [Anishinaabe]) to early residents (J.D. Barnett, Kathleen and Robina Lizars), and then connects these works to pieces about Stratford not only by canonical CanLit authors (such as James Reaney, Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood, Robertson Davies, Al Purdy, Jane Urquhart, Andrew Pyper) but also the contributions made by Black authors and Jewish authors to this cultural hub. The seminar may also include a drama component (Findley's Elizabeth Rex) and possibly a trip to Stratford for its fall season. |
