Literature Seminar
WINTER QUARTER - 2008
Seminar in Renaissance, Baroque and Classical Literature and Symbology: "Paradox of Selfhood"
Thursdays, 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm
Requirements of this quarter's seminar are the following:
- Attend all classes, participate in small group work, and contribute to discussion and reporting in the larger group.
- Keep an Intellectual Journal, a record of your own intellectual journey, of coming to terms with each reading for seminar, and relating it to other program materials. In this journal, include, weekly, at least:
2 - 3 pages of notes (a great aide to your end of quarter exam writing)
1 - 2 pages of reflection which synthesizes an idea or ideas from the week's text with other materials, including lectures, all program reading, film, etc.
§ On one occasion, prepare carefully, rehearse, and present a short 2 - 3 minute reading from the week's text, followed by a 7 - 8 minute analysis of that passage, or traditional French "analyse de texte". Submit your polished textual analysis to Marianne Bailey.
