Rationale/Justification for the Course The English DepartmentȄspecifically the Literature ProgramȄcurrently offers several courses in gender and ethnic studies, but no courses in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) studies or sexuality studies. This course is designed to fill in and remedy that gap. Like the exiting LITR 443: Women in Literature course, the new courseȄentitled Sexualities in Literature and CultureȄwill count towards the Literature and Culture restricted elective of the various Literature majors and minors in the English Department (that is, the Literature; Literature, Language, and Writing; and Literature, Language, and Writing for Teachers majors and minors). In addition, this course will serve as ǯ Studies is now proposing and thus will be crosslisted with that department. B. Course Information 1. Subject Code and Course Number: WGST/ LITR 455 445 2.

Eroticism and culture are often treated as antithetical domains, with sex strictly segregated from the social order and the obscene no less strictly segregated from the aesthetic; however, that presumed distinction often itself hinges on an arbitrary partition of one mode of normative, socially sanctioned sexuality Ǥǲ ǳȋPride and Prejudice, Portrait of a Lady) or complicating that institution by way of intrigue (Madame Bovary, Great Gatsby, The English Patient)? The title of this class is deliberately plural, as plural as sexuality itself can be, since we will be considering an array of erotic, affective, and bodily practices that may or may not be monogamous, missionary, [1] http://people.emich.edu/acoykenda/455/w13.htm marital, and heterosexual. Our readings will extend from the seventeenth-‐century libertine poetics of the Earl of Rochester and Aphra Behn, and the enlightenment-‐era novels of John Cleland (Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure) or the Marquis de Sade (Philosophy of the Boudoir), to Victorian novelists like Oscar Wilde (Picture of Dorian Gray) and contemporary feminist and/or queer works of Angela Carter, Kathy Acker, and Rob Halpern. Along the way, we will ask how the very attempt to sever certain sexualities from the cultural imagination and from the larger social order enables us to trace the trace of the obscene and thereby trace the trace of sociality itself as it transforms in relation to changing political, historical, and material conditions. Texts and Materials ǯȋhttp://www.nedsbooks.com/emu/; 483-‐6400; 707 W. Cross St.). If you order them online, make sure to get the same editions by double checking the ISBN number, a fingerprint of sorts for each book: * Marquis de Sade, Philosophy in the Boudoir (Penguin 2006; ISBN # 0143039016) * Oscar Wilde, Picture of Dorian Gray (Oxford 2008; ISBN # 0199535981) * James Baldwin, Another Country (Vintage 1992); ISBN # 0679744711) * Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body (Vintage 1994); ISBN # 0679744479) The remaining texts can be accessed online and then printed for free in any of the campus computer labs. See the Electronic Reserves (ER): http://reserves.emich.edu/, password 455. ** Make sure to bring a copy of the required texts that we are covering in class, whether found in the ER or in a book. You will need everything on hand for group work and class discussions. Assessment Weights 35% Weekly Homework & Class Participation due dates: 15% Proposal for the Research Paper Tuesday, July 28 5% Presentation on Research Topic Tuesday, August 18 45% Critical Research Essay on Related Topic Tuesday, August 18 Coursework & Assignments Consult with me as early as possible to brainstorm possible topics for the seminar paper, which constitutes a significant proportion of the final grade with the homework coming in a close second. Instead of cumulative exams, there will be various kinds of informal assignments due almost every class period to ensure ongoing participation and progress: composing discussion questions, writing informal responses applying the theory to the literature, presenting select quotations from the outside reading, and serving as a respondent for the other students. Everyone will cycle though these tasks over the term, beginning with a different task based on the group number and then doing the rest of them in turn. See the Homework Assignments handout for more detailed information (/hmwk.htm). (Note: All of the webpages associated with the course begin with http://people.emich.edu/acoykenda/455/) [2] http://people.emich.edu/acoykenda/455/w13.htm The groups are simply a way to organize which students do what (and with which texts) each class period: diversifying the topics which we highlight in the discussion, the people responsible for bringing key issues to our attention, as well as the skills and approaches which they use to do so. Most of the class period will center around the interactive discussions that result from presenting on the homework. ǲ ǳȄi.e. working collaboratively with peers on the same assignmentȄso you do not have to meet with peers outside of class, only contact them on occasion to ensure that you are not doing the same text. Grading Scale: 100-‐94% A 89-‐88% B+ 83-‐80% B-‐ 77-‐74% C 69-‐68% D+ 93-‐90% A-‐ 87-‐84% B C+ 73-‐70% C-‐ 67-‐64% D 79-‐78% Instructor Availability I will be delighted to discuss any course-‐related questions, interests, or concerns during my office hours in person (603G Pray Harrold) or by phone (487-‐0147), as well as through email (acoykenda at emich.edu) at any time. Email is the most reliable way to reach me outside of the office since the messaging system for my office phone is dysfunctional at best. Emails with straightforward questions usually receive a reply within a few hours to a day; those with thornier issues will typically receive a reply before the next class period. Please limit your emails to inquiries which I alone can answer so that I can give more pressing inquiries the attention that they deserve. If, for example, you are unsure about a due date, consult the syllabus, the handouts (/hand.htm), or the peers in your group (/groups.htm), and then email me if that confusion persists. Campus Resources & Safety At some point in the term, you might consider taking advantage of the Academic Projects Center, located in the Halle Library (Room 104). This support center, open from 11:00-‐5:00 Monday-‐Thursday, assists with the research, writing, and technology skills necessary for success in academic papers and research projects. Another support center, the International Student Resource Center, located in 200 Alexander (487-‐0370), is dedicated to second-‐language students from abroad. Also consider availing yourself of the campus escort service, Student Eyes and Ears for University Safety, by calling 48-‐SEEUS (487-‐3387). If you sign up for the emergency text-‐messaging system (www.emich.edu/alerts), DPS can notify us of any calamity afflicting the class. Attendance Because this course primarily consists of reading and discussionȄrather than facts, figures, or memorizationȄregular attendance is crucial. You never need to explain your absences, as I always assume that you have an excellent reason to miss class. However, students who for any reason miss more than TWO weeks of class will not be eligible to pass. Reserve the allowable absences for illnesses, car accidents, or other emergencies that prevent you from coming to campus and make sure not to exhaust them too early in the term. When you must be absent, contact the other students in your group (/groups.htm) to share notes or determine what you missed. All absences up to the second are excused automatically, the missed homework is due on your return, and any changes to the schedule will be sent to the class as a whole by email. Lateness The most essential informationȄdue dates, assignment instructions, clarification of outstanding issuesȄis given at the beginning of class, so it is essential to come on time. Try to arrive early just in case you encounter any problems along the way (traffic jams, late busses, no parking). Arriving halfway into the period or leaving halfway through the period each count as half an absence. Habitual lateness that interferes with student participation or disrupts the class will eventually be counted as an absence. [3] http://people.emich.edu/acoykenda/455/w13.htm Classroom Etiquette It is important to be mindful of your peers during class time, listening to them with the same respect and attention that you hope to receive yourself. Once class begins, do not distract your peers by walking in or out of the room unless there is a genuine emergency. If you have a medical condition requiring you to exit from time to time, bring a formal doctǯ; otherwise, reserve all personal business for the break midway through the class period. Disruptive exits can be both mental and physical; for example, students unprepared to do the groupwork for the day, or students discovered using laptops for purposes unrelated to the course, will be asked to leave and marked absent. Academic Integrity Understanding and avoiding academic dishonesty, and doing all of the coursework on your own, is imperative. Copying the homework of peers, taking credit for essays that you find on the internet, or recycling your own essays written for other classes for double credit are all forms of academic dishonesty, and for very good reason. Each interferes with the sole purpose, and the unique benefit, of going to college; namely, the unfettered exercise of an informed mind. The worst form of academic dishonesty is plagiarism, which, put simply, is taking either the ideas or the words of another person and reusing them as if they are your own. You must acknowledge when you make use of concepts and/or expressions of other people without ANY exception under ANY circumstance, whether it be drawing on Wikipedia for mundane (and quite possibly specious) information or channeling the most holy of holy books for heavenly inspiration. When describing the ideas of someone else in your own words, ȋǤǤǡǲSo and so ǥǳ); most importantly, when inserting the words of someone else into your writing, make sure to credit that person for the passage and place quotation marks on either side (e.g., So and so says, ǲǳ). Any writing that lacks these acknowledgements will pass as your own by default, and any writing that thus seems to be your own, without actually being your own, will be plagiarizing the original source. Any instance of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic 0% grade for the assignment. Any second instance will result in outright failure of the course. There is no excuse for academic dishonesty, nor any exceptions to this policy.
