Honors Seminar The American Literature: Ginsberg and Burroughs Baker
3 credits

2-3:15 TR |
ST 300 |
Baker |
| This course will focus on the literary experience of mid-century America through a close examination of the work of two writers who were closely associated with each other and instrumental in founding the “Beat” movement. Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” (1956) sounded the call for a poetry open to the full range of lived experience, using the complete range of poetic possibilities. William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch (1959) announced a similar revolution in the novel. During the course of the term, we will examine the grounding of their poetry and prose in their personal contacts, their interactions and their milieu. The goals of the course are an increased conceptual and discursive understanding of one of the main currents in American literary and cultural life. Prerequisites: English 102 or 190. |

To introduce the students to Socrates’ critical, ironic, and enigmatic way of thinking, and thus allow him to introduce them to Hellenic philosophy. By following closely his dialectic method of question and answer; by questioning man’s fundamental beliefs about the cosmos, the polis, and the psyche (self, soul); and by applying the same Socratic method to themselves, students can achieve a measure of enlightenment through critical thinking and, especially, self-criticism.
