ENGL 261 - Constructing the Subject: African American Women and Auto/BiographyFC ARHU WINT 4 credits Self-discovery and -report have been foundational to the Black intellectual and literary tradition in general. This course focuses particularly on ways in which African American women have re-conceptualized autobiographical and disciplinary norms and boundaries as well as their own subjectivity (e.g., as actors, thinkers, and citizens) in genre-bending “auto-texts.” Authors will include Jacobs, Wells, Hurston, Brooks, Angelou, Lorde, Williams, and Souljah; we will also read theoretical and critical studies exploring common and uncommon features of autobiographical writing.
