Description: STUDIES IN MAJOR AMERICAN AUTHORS: POST-NATIONALIST AMERICAN LITERARY STUDIES
*****
This course considers the present and future practice of American literary analysis in a post-national and global studies context. Accused of being both 'too small' because it equates the United States with America and 'too large' because it overlooks the local subcultures within the U.S., American literary and cultural analysis is in a state of conceptual transformation. We will consider this question of the parameters and futures of American literary practice from a number of different vantage points. We will read, among others, Emerson, Melville, Du Bois, Hopkins, Twain's anti-imperialist writings, Ishmael Reed, and Gayle Jones, in addition to Joel Garreau's The Nine Nations of North America and John Carlos Rowe's Post-Nationalist American Studies.
