ENGL 267 - Ethnic Experiments

FC ARHU CD WINT

4 credits
This course considers the experimental aesthetics writers have used to develop ways of reading race and ethnicity in contemporary American literature. In what ways do avant-garde techniques enable different kinds of questions to ask about racialized life in the U.S.? Whether playing with point of view, parallel universes, or poetic meter, such texts demand a startling attention to the site where culture in its semantic richness resides.
