While changes in the public spaces of urban/suburban America tell us something about the values of those who produce such space, they also tell us about the cultural and political consciousness/unconsciousness of those who use it. Theories from a variety of disciplines will be mobilized to help us understand these changes in social space.

ENGI 304 GOOD VIBRATIONS: AN INTERDIS- CIPLINARY 3.00 * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP III Introduction to physical acoustics and to physiology and psychology of hearing. Musical, architectural and medical acoustics and environmental noise control. Acoustics is the most accessible physical science and many observed phenomena can be understood without recourse to advanced mathematics. It provides an excellent example of the formulation of a physical theory, the derivation of the field equations, the solution of problems, experiment and measurement, and applications in the real world. Acoustics has the additional advantage that the distances and times involved are easily comprenended (inches and seconds, not nanometers or picoseconds) and that, in many instances we, ourselves, are the measuring instruments. The subjective, sometimes ambiguous, realm of psychoacoustics contrasts with the objective, unambiguous realm of physical acoustics. This, and the fact that acoustics is inherently an interdisciplinary subject with musical, architectural, biomedical and environmental aspects, make this course a good meeting place for majors and nonmajors.

ENGL 336 THE GOTHIC AND CONSTRUCTIONS OF NATIONAL 3.00 This course asks why U.S. writing, from the late eighteenth-century novels of Charles Brockden Brown to the contemporary fiction of Toni Morrison and Stephen King, has consistently turned to the gtohic form to define a national literary identity. We will assess how the ghostly, visions of the undead and the "uncanny" create a distinctly " American" literature for "high brow" and "low brow" reader/writers alike. More particularly, we will consider how U.S. writers use these gothic devices to script the diverse racial identities of the populace into a U.S. narrative and how the gothic represents the writers' fears that such racial identities will disrupt the cohesiveness of a distinct national literature. We will read work by Charles Brocken Brown, Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, John Winthrop, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Harriet Jacobs, William Faulken, and Toni Morrison, among others.

ENGL 509 MASTER'S THESIS 3.00 ENGL 510 PEDAGOGY 1.00 ENGL 511 SEMINAR: PEDAGOGY 3.00 ENGL 514 MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE "INVENTION OF 3.00 "Topics vary from year to year. This pro-seminar in Middle English Literature will survey Piers Plowman, the Pearl Poet, romances, Corpus Christi cycle plays, dream visions, lyrics, sermons, mystical writings, and satires from the 14th and 15th centuries. The pre-Reformation character of this new vernacular literature will highlight its interiorized, subjective nature, its emphasis on the primacy of the commons and its appeal to the newly lierature feminine readers, who constitute much of the audience at this moment of shift from manuscript to prited book. Different topics may be repeated for credit".

ENGL 592 THE CHILD IN U.S. LIT FROM NATIONHOOD-TH 3.00 In cultural materialist as well as historicist and psychoanalytic accounts, the modern child has consistently been equated with the personal, the individual, and/or the psychological. This course alternately examines how images of the child help to construct a distinct national identity in U.S. writing from nationhood through the nineteenth century. As a propnent of both national and individual identity formation, the child in U.S. writing registers the complex interrelations existing between the two. We will read essays by Slavoj Zizeck, Joan Copjec, Teresa Brennan, and Homi Bhabha, among others, to think about how the national and individual work with and against each other and writings by Thomas Paine, Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglas, Mark Twain, Harriet Wilson, Louisa May Alcott, and Henry James in order to assess to what ends the child facilitates diverse political relations or effects between national identity and individual subjectivity.
