Comparative Literature

COM LIT XL 4DW

Great Books from the World at Large: Latin America and Africa

5.0 units As David Damrosch reminds us, “Reading a work from a different place and time involves a back‑and‑forth movement between the familiar and the unfamiliar. A view of the world is always a view from wherever we are, and we inevitably filter what we read through our own experi‑ ence. But if we don’t impose our expectations onto the new work, its distinctive qualities will enlarge our field of vision.” The Latin American works we read—and write about—include stories by Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina), Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombia) about the discovery of the New World, European conquest and the efforts to free. Latin America from colonial imposition. The African works we read—and write about—include, in addition to stories by Chinua Achebe (Nigeria), Nadine Gordimer (South Africa), and Nugugiwa Thiong’o (Kenya) that protest colonization, call for indepen‑ dence, and celebrate African pride, a play about British presence in West Africa (Death and the King’s Horseman) by Nobel Prize‑winner Wole Soyinka.

SOCIOL XL 128

Sociology of Emotions

4.0 units Are feelings innate and universal or socially created and historically and culturally determined? Generally seen as individually and privately experienced, emotions actually are deeply social. They are embedded in, constitutive of, and created by social interactions, social structures, and institutions. This course examines the relatively new field of the sociology of emotions from a constructionist and interactionist per‑ spective. Instruction addresses such issues as definition and labeling of emotions, social and cultural construction of emotion, sociohistori‑ cal contextualization of emotion, and possible practical uses of a sociological study of emotions. Our explorations focus on contempo‑ rary American society, but also include examples from other eras and cultures to illustrate the socially constructed, experienced, and expressed nature of emotions. c
