AMST 603 - Problems in Literature and Society

Fall 3 Staff.

This semester’s topic will be “The Cultures of Intimacy.” The seminar will explore intimate relations as a dynamic source of social and cultural reproduction and resistance in the late 19th and early 20th century US, particularly as it was manifested in discourses of family life, social obligation, and subjectivity. Emphasis will be on close interpretive engagement with culturally complex materials. (Not offered in 2013-2014)
