Description
This research seminar will primarily focus on women’s narratives –novels, poetry,art, film and theory. I am interested in comparing gendered self-representations with (sometimes without) representations of men (and all we stand for) in the work of a group of Chicana writers, filmmakers and artists. Although I haven’t yet decided on all the texts, we will definitely study Ana Castillo (novelist, poet, essayist), Lourdes Portillo (film director), Denise Chavez (novelist), Lorna Dee Cervantes (poet), Sandra Cisneros (fiction, poetry), Gloria Anzáldua (theorist), Alma Lopez (artist), Isis Rodríguez(artist), Delilah Montoya (photographer) and also Chicana critics Tey Diana Rebolledo, Laura Pérez, Rosa Linda Fregoso.
There will be a 5-6 position paper due within about three weeks, and a final paper of some 15 pages due in the final week of class. I will expect regular attendance and students will regularly lead discussion.
English 190 replaces English 100 and 150 as of Fall ’09. English majors may fulfill the seminar requirement for the major by taking one section of English 190 (or by having taken either English 100 or 150 before Fall ’09). Please read the paragraph on page 2 of this Announcement of Classes for more details about enrolling in or wait-listing for this course!
