L'UTOPIE AU XVIIIe SIECLE TEXTES UTOPIQUES DU XVIII SIÈCLE Anderson/ Goulemot Le séminaire propose une réflexion sur le genre utopique qui à partir du XVIIIe siècle se dilue et semble renvoyer à des constructions idéologiques très diverisifiées: Age d'Or, Pays de Cocagne, mondes fantastiques, mondes à l'envers, sociétés primitives, état de nature, robinnsonnades...pour tenter de saisir sa spécificité. Enquête sur la pensée utopique au moment des Lumières.  Textes à lire: Diderot, Supplément au voyage de Bougainville; Restif de la Bretonne, La Découverte australe; Louis-Sébastien Mercier, L'An 2440; Marivaux,  L'Ile des esclaves, etc. Pour la description complète, consulter http://www.wilda.org/Courses/CourseVault/Grad/Utopies/index.html

HISTORY AND ROMANCE IN THE MIDDLE AGES Nichols/ Spiegel Medieval historiography & Romance emerged from the same social and political movements that gradually changed and shaped medieval society during the millennium from 500 – 1500 C.E.

THE VISUAL TEXT: WORD & IMAGE IN A MANUSCRIPT CULTURE Nichols A manuscript culture is very different from a print culture. Manuscript transmission of literary texts has more in common with graphic arts like painting than with print. A manuscript folio figures the hand of the scribe and illustrator, who appeal to the aesthetic senses, through the eyes and ears of the reader. As both word and image, vernacular literary manuscripts are complex systems of representation that require a correspondingly complex response by the reader/viewer. It is precisely this response that critical editions (printed texts) efface in their quest to recapture the author's original intention. The course will examine how manuscripts constitute rival systems of representation: literary and visual that function as supplement, commentary, and metacrticial speculation. During the Fall semester, the course will examine a variety of literary texts, from the chansonniers of troubadours and trouveres, to early romance, short narrative, and historiography.

REALISM, NATURALISM, AND “VERISMO” Zecchi In the second half of the Ottocento, when the Italian Unification has become a reality, literature deals mainly with social issues, with class struggle and with regionalism. In a context of positivism and evolutionary theories, and of scientific texts on women’s intellectual inferiority, the woman issue is also central. In this class we will establish a theoretical frame-work on realism, naturalism and verismo, and then approach literary texts by Verga, De Roberto and Serao, among others. Readings will include pseudo-scientific essays on evolution and phrenology and legal commentaries on the Zanardelli penal code. Meets 10/04/04 - 11/15/04 9/27/04–11/5/04
