Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/people\/faculty\/sacks\/\">Prof. Jeff. Sacks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What is the place or non-place of Palestine in Critical Theory? What is at stake in thinking about Critical Theory today in a time of ongoing genocide in Gaza, and against all Palestinian persons, and in a time of persisting colonial, settler, and genocidal violences against Black and Indigenous peoples in globality? To think about these questions we\u2019ll read closely, and very slowly, across a number of texts in European philosophy and critical thought (for example, Hegel, Marx, Freud, Benjamin, Adorno), which we\u2019ll study in relation to work in Black Study (including Cedric Robinson, Fred Moten, Denise Ferreira da Silva) as well as Palestinian poetics, thought, and cinema (Ghassan Kanafani, Mahmoud Darwish, Adania Shibli, Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, Elia Suleiman, Hussein Barghouthi, Edward W. Said, and others). As we try to think about Palestine in Critical Theory, we\u2019ll engage in a collective practice of study, which, in its excessively slow, non-self-determined readings, in its utterly dependent and anaccumulative manner of doing language together, may give to us something wholly other than the sense of life\u2014and of being and language\u2014privileged in critique.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-cw7az3-47c84625f059defab7d792f5cc18917b\">\n#top .flex_column.av-cw7az3-47c84625f059defab7d792f5cc18917b{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-cw7az3-47c84625f059defab7d792f5cc18917b{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 20px 0px 20px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-cw7az3-47c84625f059defab7d792f5cc18917b{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-cw7az3-47c84625f059defab7d792f5cc18917b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ahr5xr-df60599bfb0f101e88f83e53b2969710\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ahr5xr-df60599bfb0f101e88f83e53b2969710 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ahr5xr-df60599bfb0f101e88f83e53b2969710 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>CPLT 210\u2014Canons in Comparative Literature: Queer Receptions of Greco-Roman Antiquity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/people\/faculty\/faculty-erin-lam\/\">Prof. Erin Lam<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What do we owe the past, if anything? How do the answers to that question shift when the past takes the shape of a literary canon? Given that canonicity is often associated with tradition, authority, and stasis, is a queer canon possible or even desirable? How do queer of color temporalities of hauntedness, transition, imagining otherwise, and intergenerational trauma affect what a canon is and does? In this seminar, we will investigate these questions via contemporary texts by queer of color authors that interface with the Classical Greco-Roman canon, in conversation with queer theory and reception theory.

It also describes the different modes and tendencies, forms and concepts, of the kinds of writing we do as academics from expository writing, to advocacy, to phenomenological conveyance, to presentations, to blipping out email correspondences. This seminar covers recent writing on the meta-methods of research and writing in literary studies in the age of AI, public- and outreaching intellectual forms, the attention economy, and the revamped culture wars. We start with the assumption that we are always-already researching and writing, given life experience, ongoing work projects and other obsessions\u2014but that the speech genres, and writing genres, required of us in academia are not intuitive but are learned forms that, like any other genres, can be taken up, detourned or used as templates. These genres, and toggling among them, also makes for a powerful motor in spaces outside of academia where research and writing are done, with perhaps different or unspoken norms that nonetheless have similar assumptions, goals and methods. We look at some of the new scholarship on close reading, the industries of print culture and their turns, research\/creation hybrids, and case studies of how students (like you) bring experience in life to experience in writing to advocate and communicate as well as express the cultural forms of research in forms that may iterate or \u201cversion\u201d from time to time and context to context. We also cover research methods in the library and virtual worlds, and concretize the readings by creatively engaging with the genres of research and writing (summary, structural analysis, politics of citationality, etc.) that you will parlay into your exams, come Year 3.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8fwccf-6e7acf41ffe5115e5d3b876faddae837\">\n#top .flex_column.av-8fwccf-6e7acf41ffe5115e5d3b876faddae837{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-8fwccf-6e7acf41ffe5115e5d3b876faddae837{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 20px 0px 20px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-8fwccf-6e7acf41ffe5115e5d3b876faddae837{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-8fwccf-6e7acf41ffe5115e5d3b876faddae837 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mdy2njz2-931384bb1b80503ceb955e5b72c3b837\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mdy2njz2-931384bb1b80503ceb955e5b72c3b837 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdy2njz2-931384bb1b80503ceb955e5b72c3b837 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>CPLT 277\u2014Seminar in Comparative Literature: Architecture, Space, Modernity\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/people\/faculty\/zender\/\">Prof. Heidi Brevik-Zender<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Discourses of modernity since the nineteenth century have been concerned with issues of spatiality. Questions arising include: Where does modernity occur? does urban space and the built environment necessarily define the modern? how do human and other bodies operate in, through, and outside of these spaces? what alternatives exist? This graduate seminar will examine architecture and space broadly conceived, from their work as literary metaphors to the representations of physical locations, their functions, and their symbolic meanings in texts and films. Critical texts by thinkers such as Aug\u00e9, Certeau, Colomina, Foucault, Grosz, Lefebvre, and others will be studied alongside works of fiction and film. Students are encouraged to develop their own fields of research in dialogue with course materials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

Although the full range spans, on the Classical side, from the 8th century &#8211; including a few earlier works from the Medieval world &#8211; our focus will generally be on the long &#8220;Global 19th Century&#8221; through the present day. That is, from the perspective of &#8220;canonical historical events,&#8221; the course prioritizes the period of the Barbary Wars and the French conquest of Algeria (including the protectorates in Tunisia and Morocco), the ensuing colonial period through WWII, the Algerian War of Independence, and its legacies (including the Algerian Civil War and the consequences of Fundamentalist rule).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9kmtjz-4ea83ad5150994209530e049e81a002e\">\n#top .flex_column.av-9kmtjz-4ea83ad5150994209530e049e81a002e{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-9kmtjz-4ea83ad5150994209530e049e81a002e{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 20px 0px 20px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-9kmtjz-4ea83ad5150994209530e049e81a002e{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-9kmtjz-4ea83ad5150994209530e049e81a002e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mdy3p6jr-44d5ec47a4d575ff70b3dfab0597a1cd\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mdy3p6jr-44d5ec47a4d575ff70b3dfab0597a1cd .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdy3p6jr-44d5ec47a4d575ff70b3dfab0597a1cd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>CPLT 214: History of Criticism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/people\/faculty\/jeong\/\">Prof. Kelly Jeong<\/a><\/p>\n<p>M 12:30 &#8211; 3:20 pm, HMNSS 2502<\/p>\n<p>This is a survey course on criticism.

How have histories of extractive mining, fishing, and farming transformed the way we document, write about, or theorize environmental futures? In this graduate theory seminar, we will consider the ways in which land, water, and air spaces of the Philippine archipelago have shaped key texts in Critical Filipinx studies. We will read recent critical texts with an eye towards how they engage with the archipelago&#8217;s environmental history (e.g., mining in the Cordilleras, deforestation, disaster typhoon responses, military waste, industrial banana farming, and dams). We will watch films and read poetry by Filipinx\/o artists who grapple with these histories in their works.<\/p>\n<p>Major assignments include 1) a precis &amp; literature review, 2) leading a conversation over a critical text, and 3) a 16-20 page ecocritical paper on the seminar participant&#8217;s individual research topic. The class will focus on texts of Critical Filipinx Studies, but it welcomes those who work in Southeast Asian Studies, Feminist Science and Technology Studies, Asian American Studies, and Critical Ethnic Studies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2cj6i7-b5cc471ba1065d361d9f2334614a3649\">\n#top .flex_column.av-2cj6i7-b5cc471ba1065d361d9f2334614a3649{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-2cj6i7-b5cc471ba1065d361d9f2334614a3649{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 20px 0px 20px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-2cj6i7-b5cc471ba1065d361d9f2334614a3649{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2cj6i7-b5cc471ba1065d361d9f2334614a3649 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-38  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m3ge7x8b-70934d890c05e2da6948f5e15e23358d\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-m3ge7x8b-70934d890c05e2da6948f5e15e23358d .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m3ge7x8b-70934d890c05e2da6948f5e15e23358d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>CPLT 215B: Issues in Contemporary Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/people\/faculty\/kim\/\">John Kim<\/a><\/p>\n<p>W 5:00 &#8211; 7:50 pm, Gordon Watkins Hall 1117<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">The United Nations\u2019 \u201cUniversal Declaration of Human Rights\u201d establishes the normative imperative of <\/span><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">\u201cnationality\u201d in asserting that, \u201cEveryone has the right to a nationality\u201d and \u201cNo one shall be arbitrarily <\/span><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality\u201d (Article 15, UDHR).

What, then, to make of literature created by the effects of diaspora, migration, and exile? How to read literature written beyond the mother tongue or in a state of translation? This course is designed to introduce students to literary texts which bear a strained relation to the nation-state as well as key theoretical texts in the thinking of modern literature and nationality. Students will develop skills in frameworks that expand the traditional area and literary studies through close attention to issues of language and gender, as well as colonial contexts, the history of comparative literature, and the disciplinary status of \u2018area\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-j95jnj-11-94d815391f8a92686f9e67d5517c9f66\">\n#top .flex_column.av-j95jnj-11-94d815391f8a92686f9e67d5517c9f66{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:5px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-j95jnj-11-94d815391f8a92686f9e67d5517c9f66{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 20px 0px 20px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-j95jnj-11-94d815391f8a92686f9e67d5517c9f66{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-j95jnj-11-94d815391f8a92686f9e67d5517c9f66 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-46  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#b2955c;\nfont-size:25px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#b2955c;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-kwpav10d-8d46323b1dfe7ae04b5671db580ccd1a av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-47  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-inherit-size'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >WINTER 2022<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6k9ab3-10-dc9f0e4e6ee4e71d4d14b558492a7bae\">\n#top .flex_column.av-6k9ab3-10-dc9f0e4e6ee4e71d4d14b558492a7bae{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-6k9ab3-10-dc9f0e4e6ee4e71d4d14b558492a7bae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 20px 0px 20px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-6k9ab3-10-dc9f0e4e6ee4e71d4d14b558492a7bae{\nmargin-top:5px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-6k9ab3-10-dc9f0e4e6ee4e71d4d14b558492a7bae av_one_full  avia-builder-el-48  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-49b6b3-9-dad619ca684db6680ed7b5af6f674a8c\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-49b6b3-9-dad619ca684db6680ed7b5af6f674a8c .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-49b6b3-9-dad619ca684db6680ed7b5af6f674a8c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>CPLT 200 \/ ANTH 202 \/ SEAS 200: Topics in Southeast Asian Studies<br \/>\n<\/strong>Professor Weihsan Gui<\/p>\n<p>This seminar is an introduction to the study of Southeast Asia and its diasporas.

All assigned works are written originally in English or translated from African or other European languages into English. We shall examine how African literature portrays colonialism, post-colonialism, and independence and how those representations inform, enable or disrupt our understandings of questions about space, gender, individual and communal consciousness, development, and national identities in contemporary Africa. We will also explore how writers from different African countries agree with, differ from and\/or respond to each other in their uses of literature to examine these and other questions significant to the histories and politics of individual nations and the continent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CPLT 277.
