Description:
Have you ever taken part in an internship - or wondered how this experience may or may not help you after graduating? Join us for an alumni fireside chat when Trent Huff, a Fisher College of Business Honors Alum, will discuss this topic.
Trent graduated from Ohio State in 1996 with a degree in Finance and took part in what then was a very new Honors Program in the Fisher College. He's currently a Senior Consulting Professional with Navigator Management Partners, a local business consulting company. His 8 years of consulting experience with Accenture and 5 with Navigator have provided Trent with a wide range of experience crossing many industries.
During his years at Ohio State, Trent participated in four internships in the finance and the transportation & logistics fields. One of these took place in Chicago, where Trent was able to spend a summer working with other OSU students and experience life in a large US city. All of these experiences were valuable in different ways and built a foundation Trent was able to utilize as he entered the workforce full-time after graduation.
Please join us for what promises to be an informal and rewarding chat. |

Description:
Drama refers to the heightening of the intensities and conflicts of life that reveal people’s character, their relations with others, and the worlds they inhabit. Its most condensed and meaning-laden form is the stage play, wherein everything is revealed through dialogue and specific actions that arise in relation to it. Even our highly mediated world remains based in the reality of the script, a continuing legacy of dramatic literature.
Texts will include plays by Sophocles, Euripides, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Chekhov, Genet, Beckett, Albee, and others.
Requirements: Response papers for each play, 1-2 pages; 2 analytical papers, 6-8 pages |

Description:
In recent decades, the eighteenth-century novel has been overwhelmingly discussed in terms of its alleged ideological effects: the ways in which it supposedly produces (or attempts to produce) things like deep gendered subjectivity or compliant middle-class behavior or imperialist fervor. No doubt it often did have such effects. But our presumption that the ends of fiction are ultimately and necessarily ideological has had the extremely peculiar consequence of ignoring one of the most defining features of the form: namely that, especially in the eighteenth century, novels were bought or borrowed for pleasure in a marketplace. This course will attempt to take both novelistic pleasure and the novelistic market seriously in order to provide a fuller (which means less automatically leading to the present) account of how novels actually worked in and over the period we still credit with the invention of the genre as we know it.
Likely readings include stories of seduction and attempted seduction (Love in Excess, Pamela, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure), wide-ranging adventure (Roxana, Roderick Random), sheer over-the-top literary playfulness (Tristram Shandy), and equally over-the-top gothic exoticism (Vathek, The Monk). We will also consider, at least in passing, some attempts to rein in, redirect, or even squelch the sorts of pleasure provided by these novels. Because of the amount of reading and the kinds of questions I'm most interested in our pursuing, there will not be a sustained interpretive essay required for this course. Rather, in addition to active participation in our discussions, I will ask you for two short research exercises, and a slightly longer theoretical sketch, all of which you will share with your colleagues through Carmen. |

Description:
What was the Renaissance in England? When did it begin and end and what were its salient features? This class looks at the literature produced between the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I with an eye to answering these questions. Writers studied will include Thomas More, Erasmus, Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and Sir Philip Sidney. As the cultural ideals and innovations of fifteenth century Italy spread to northern Europe and to England, they influenced not only literary representations but all forms of human thought and expression. We will therefore situate the literary achievements of sixteenth century England alongside other cultural developments in the arts of painting, building, and state-making.
Readings: Norton anthology of English Lit. Vol 1B and other miscellaneous texts.
Requirements: papers, exams, quizzes, regular attendance |

Description:
This version of 597.04 “Narrative, Emotion, and the Contemporary World” explores the following questions: What role do emotions play in the making and engaging with narrative fiction in general and contemporary narrative fiction in particular? How does the emotion system help articulate the worldview and the ethical system in the implied author/artist/filmmaker as construed by the reader or viewer? How do emotions work at the level of characters, informing their worldviews, morals, goals, incentives, and motives for action? How do the narrative devices used in any given narrative fiction media work to trigger in the reader or viewer specific kinds of emotions? What are some of the distinctive patterns of devices being employed in contemporary narrative, and what do those patterns reveal about contemporary culture? How might different assemblies of content and form in the narrative fiction create peculiar forms of feelings, nervous tensions, and moods in readers and viewers? How is the more durative mood established?
In this course we will read accessible articles in the cognitive and neurobiological sciences as well as in developmental psychology and narrative theory to begin to establish a solid basis to the hypotheses that emotions are foundational to our social functioning as human beings as well as in generating cross-culturally prototypical narrative fictions in the most diverse ways and through the most diverse means. |

While engaging in close study of individual readings, the ultimate objective of this course is to give students a big-picture understanding of how English literature developed during its first several centuries, and how those changes relate to larger trends in political, social, and religious history. The format of class meetings will involve a mixture of lecture and seminar-style discussion.
There will be frequent short response papers and a more substantial research or creative project due near the end of term. |

Description:
This course will focus on what literary scholars call “Queer Modernism,” a hot topic in the field of literary studies today. This term plays on multiple meanings, including efforts to draw attention to alternative sexualities that were much discussed and practiced during the modernist literary movement of the early twentieth century (approximately 1915-1930). "Queer modernism" also refers to new understandings of modernist literature that redefine its concerns, texts, and possibilities. The course starts with the recognition that the “science” of sexology—which gave us words such as “homosexuality,” “inversion,” and “heterosexuality”—was central to understandings of self and desire advanced by many modernist and Harlem Renaissance writers, a number of whom had same-sex attractions and/ or wrote about them. Thus, we will read some of the sexologists, e.g., Havelock Ellis and Edward Carpenter, who influenced modernist and Harlem Renaissance writers. Our focus will then turn to fiction and poetry by writers such as Virginia Woolf (Orlando or Mrs. Dalloway), H.D. (HERmione), Radclyffe Hall (The Well of Loneliness), D. H. Lawrence (The Rainbow), E.M. Forster (Maurice), Ernest Hemingway (The Garden of Eden), William Faulkner (Absalom, Absalom!), Djuna Barnes (Nightwood), Nella Larsen (Passing), Bruce Nugent (“Smoke, Lilies, and Jade”), and Wallace Thurman (The Blacker the Berry). We will also investigate traditional concepts of modernism, asking how new formulations of “queer” or “bad” modernism alter the modernist project. Students can expect to write 2 essays, prepare a take-home project, and contribute frequently and skillfully to class discussion. |

Description:
The Bible contains some of the weirdest and most wonderful literature you will ever read, and there is certainly no book that has had a greater influence on English and American literature from Beowulf to Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, The Second Shepherds’ Play to Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. We will read a selection of biblical books in order to gain some appreciation of the Bible’s wide range of literary genres, forms, styles, and topics. Our discussion will include the nature of biblical narrative and characterization, the function of prophecy and its relation to history, the peculiar nature of biblical poetry, so-called Wisdom literature, anomalous books like Job and The Song of Songs (including the historical process of canonization that made them “biblical” and the kinds of interpretation that have been used to make them less strange), the relationship between (in traditional Christian terms) the Old and New Testaments (including typology, the symbolic linking of characters, events, themes, and images in the books before and after the Incarnation), and the unity (or lack thereof) of the Bible as a whole. If there is time, and as occasion warrants, we may want to think about the way the Bible has been read and interpreted––the stranger the better––by poets and writers, even artists and film-makers. Do note that our approach will be literary and cultural. We will certainly discuss much that is religious, but no religious beliefs will be privileged or assumed. Interested students of all faiths, or none, are welcome.
The Bible (King James Version), edited by Stephen Prickett (Oxford World’s Classics). Robert Alter and Frank Kermode, eds., The Literary Guide to the Bible. You must have a copy of the King James Version (1611) of the Bible. It need not be the Oxford edition, but this is inexpensive and has some useful critical material.
Evaluation will be based on regular and active participation in class, a reading response journal, two short essays, and a final exam. |

Description:
This course will focus on critical theory as having two major components: theory as a body of knowledge and theory as an activity or “theory as a noun” and” and “theory as a verb.” It will explore the ways in which understanding theory as an activity (or a verb) transforms our relation to theory as a body of knowledge (or a noun). We will start with a general focus on the relation between theory and its objects and then move to a consideration of some broad areas in which theory as a body of knowledge has become especially important—language, action, and meaning; interpretation; interdisicplinarity; adaptation—and in each case examine how the theorizing works and the debates it raises. We will read works by Thomas Kuhn, Stanley Fish, Judith Butler, Antonio Damasio, William Shakespeare, Mary Karr, and others. Our goal will not to be to resolve the debates in any definitive fashion but rather (a) to identify criteria for evaluating that theorizing, and (b) to determine what would be required of us to be able to contribute to these debates—and to try out some contributions. |
