This course will explore the experience of exile, the psychological upheaval, the familial struggles and the ethical questions raised by the forced migration of individuals and whole communities. We will do so by reading the memoirs, novels, poetry and essays of prominent exiled writers as well as listening to music and watching movies created out of the experience of exile. We will also seek to understand the nature of artistic creation from exile: what effects does exile have on the artist? what common characteristics does writing from exile have? Our focus will be on the Jewish migration during World War II, Eastern European exiles of the post-war era, Caribbean authors and musical artists struggling with the echoes of slavery, and recent exiles from the Arab-Muslim world. May be repeated for a maximum of 6 units. |

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. |
