In this course, we will read the works of major authors classified by the term “modern” and “postmodern” in the twentieth century English literature. You should relax and let the words and images form the impression in your minds, not force meaning out of them. In your reading, you might try to assume the mood that Woolf describes in The Mark on the Wall: “I want to think quietly, calmly, spaciously, never to be interrupted, never to have to rise from my chair, to slip easily from one thing to another, without any sense of hostility, or obstacle. I want to sink deeper and deeper, away from the surface, with its hard separate facts” (Norton 2146). However, you should be aware that postmodern texts consciously disorient the reader, shaking off the soft blanket of chronological, straightforward storytelling in favor of a harsher, more forbidding narrative style. The reader is led through multiple shifts in consciousness, chronology, and geography, often without a chapter break, let alone a comment like “Fifty years earlier,” to guide the way.

Participation/preparation. Students should read and prepare the texts assigned for each class meeting before the beginning of class. Class time will involve a combination of lecture, discussion, and presentation. Quizzes will also count toward your class participation grade. Because this is a survey course, we will not try to cover every aspect of every assigned text. Nevertheless, students are expected to read and study all the texts and express comments online. On exams and in essays students are encouraged to go beyond what we have said in class. Attendance and promptness are essential to this course. Absences, or persistent lateness, will hurt your grade. Students with more than three unexcused absences will fail this course. Send me an email explaining any absence beforehand, if possible, or as soon as possible after the missed class. If you have been sick and sought professional care, please give me the sick leave application right after you come to class. An unexcused absence will lead to a lower grade and three unexcused absences will lead to the failure of this course. Group presentations: 3-4 people form a group. Each group needs to sign up for at least one presentation topic. At the time of the presentation, the group will provide ppt slides to class. In order to enhance interaction between the presentation group and audience, another group will be assigned to ask the group questions. Students who ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions in class will get extra points. After the presentation, group report outlines and ppt files are expected to be put online. This course observes all rules of academic integrity. Please learn to document your sources well in your group report. You will immediately fail this course if you plagiarize.
LC002. American Literature II:. 1865 to present [美國文學史(二)︰1865 年至當代]
3 credits Dr. Donna Tong < [email protected] > For Juniors and above Class size: 45
課程學習目標 This course encompasses American literature chronologically from the
11
Civil War to the contemporary period. This span will include discussion of artistic and literary movements such as realism, naturalism, modernism, postmodernism, and multiculturalism while examining and considering pivotal and relevant historical moments and events. Throughout our studies of selected American literary texts, we will analyze and interpret the different experiences and constructions of identity represented in these literary works. Literature is essentially about the human experience, about representing humanity. We will question and challenge how this humanity is conveyed, how it was relevant during the era of publication, and how it might still be relevant today despite the span of time and distance, literally, symbolically, and culturally. Some themes you are asked to consider in reading any of these works: how is the self being defined? What is the relationship between the individual and the larger society? How are men and women being represented as men and women? How different ethnicities and races represented and what are the larger implications of these representations?

LC003. Romantic and Victorian Poetry [浪漫與維多利亞時期詩作研究] 3 credits Dr. Paul Bellew <[email protected] > For Juniors and above Class size: 45 Prerequisite: Introduction to Literature
課程學習目標
The Romantic and Victorian periods make up a “long” 19th century—beginning in the late 1700s and extending into the early 1900s. Even so, this might not seem like a long time give the extensive history of English literature. Yet many of the most famous poets of English literary history are found in these periods—like William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley, John Keats, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Alfred Tennyson to name just a few. Then what was so special about the Romantic and Victorian periods? For one, these periods saw increased modernization, technological development, and scientific innovation as the British Empire rose to its highpoint. Amidst these developments, social roles changed dramatically, and many people advocated for progress. It was also a time of experimentation in poetry as well—both in terms of form and content. This course will exam the poetry of these two periods, charting a course through the long century focusing on both canonical figures and less familiar figures. This course will develop skills in critical reading and interpretation, build understanding in an important period in English literature, and develop skills in argumentative writing.

AW002. Chinese-English Translation [專業寫作:中英翻譯] 2 credits Fr. Daniel Bauer < [email protected] > For Seniors only Class size: 27 Prerequisite: CC III
The purpose of this course in Chinese-English translation is (1) to give students practical experience in translating a variety of brief texts, primarily taken from Chinese newspapers, into English; (2) to become familiar with important ideas or theories traditionally associated with translation (for example, equivalent effect, audience reception, fidelity in translation); (3) sharpen English language skills. Students can expect 8 individual assignments (2 pages minimum in length, to be revised according to the advice of the instructor). Students will also make about 3 individual presentations on the assignments, each about 6 minutes in length, discussing the particular challenges and solutions with which they are struggling in their translation homework. Instead of relying on a single textbook, the instructor will assemble a workbook for student use that offers various choices for translation from week to week. He will occasionally distribute handouts, and offer regular brief lectures on theories of translation. In the beginning of the course, students will form themselves into groups of 5 - 6 each, simply to help organize dates for presentations. The first assignment will be a 2 page review students write of a short translation already published in the Taipei Chinese Pen. The
30
instructor will loan copies of the Pen to students. 7 translations (2 pages) follow as assignments (a few of which the individual student will 'present on' during class sessions). In addition, there will be a mid-term and a final exam. Grading plan: mid-term and final exams = 20% . . . 8 individual assignments = 10% each / / Final grades will involve points subtracted or added for class participation. Important: personal coaching on the individual translation assignments will be part of many class plans for up to 15 minutes per class. Arrival on time each week for all students is therefore essential. Questions? Please email Father Bauer / Bau Shen-fu at [email protected] or call land line telephone 2905-3522.

PT001. Cross Cultural Communication: Global Understanding Project [跨文化溝通:國際連
35
線專題] 2 credits Dr. Ya-Li Wu < [email protected] > For freshmen and above Class size: 15
課程學習目標
This course provides students to learn other cultures without traveling. This is part of the Global Academic Initiatives directed by East Carolina University (ECU), USA. This program has received the Senator Paul Simon Spotlight Award in USA. We will connect with two (or possibly three) countries, depending on the arrangement of ECU, through live video and chat technology. In the past, the countries we connected include USA, India, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Peru, and Switzerland. Discussion topics ranging from college life, family structure, the meaning of life, health care, food and nutrition, to stereotypes and prejudices. Class sessions include discussion in both small groups and one-to-one chat with reflective journaling/papers and/or oral presentations afterwards. In addition to international connecting sessions, local sessions which mean only local class sessions without videoconferencing are also held to integrate and synthesize information gained in the global sessions. Participating students from different cultures also read each other’s newspapers to learn what is current, timely, and to get real exposure to their partners’ cultures.
先修課程 Proficient in English speaking. Students need to be able to speak and interact with foreign students via video conferencing.

MA/BA Courses MA001. Contemporary American & British Drama [當代英美戲劇]
3 Credits Dr. John Basourakos <[email protected] > For Juniors and above Class size: 8
課程學習目標
Course Description: American and British dramatists have never hesitated from presenting us with a mirror of society in an effort to illuminate and to edify. Through their plays, contemporary American and British playwrights continue to examine the social complexities of American and British life: its individualism, capitalism, regionalism, classism, racism, sexism, and ageism. In this course, we will examine a selection of play texts by such contemporary American and British playwrights as David Mamet, ntozake shange, Maria Irene Fornes, David Henry Hwang, Susan Lori-Parks, Lynn Nottage, and August Wilson, who employ the stage to give voice to political and social issues from both “American” and “British” perspectives. We will also explore how their probing works capture, reflect and even shape our perceptions of the multi-faceted natures of American and British life, as well as critically examine and discuss powerful themes and issues that these plays invite us to question and to reflect upon. Course Objectives: In this course, students will: 1. Students will read and discuss plays which have been written and
performed in the United States and in the U.K. in the last 50 years. Most of the plays cover a wide spectrum of American and British life and ideologies.
2. Students will discuss the content, the form, and the performances of the plays as they define American and British drama and American and British identity.
3. Students will watch and critically respond to film versions and filmed productions of several of the plays that will be discussed in class.

MA002. American Literature & Visual Art [美國文學與視覺藝術]
3 Credits Dr. Joseph Murphy<[email protected] > For seniors Class size: 15
What is the relationship between written words and images—between literature and the visual arts (painting, sculpture, photography)? How do literary and visual forms influence each other, and how can the one help us to understand or interpret the other? These are the fundamental questions addressed in this course, with a particular focus on American culture. To this end, the course will pursue three objectives:
1) to examine how writers have portrayed visual artists—their personalities, their artistic visions, and their relationships to society;
2) to study the interconnected developments of the following aesthetic movements in literature and the visual arts: romanticism, realism, impressionism, and postimpressionism;
3) to gain an understanding of ekphrasis, that is, the verbal representation of a visual
image. How does a work of literature, especially a poem, go about representing a painting or sculpture? How, by contrast, does a painting represent a work of literature? These questions will be pursued with special emphasis on American modernism and postmodernism.
This course will introduce many painters and several sculptors and photographers; their names are listed in the schedule. Museum sites are among the best places to search for art images and information. Other recommended websites: www.artcyclopedia.com Portal to museum sites and other online collections www.wga.hu Web Gallery of Art www.artchive.com Artchive http://smarthistory.org Excellent collection of video, image, and text resources on art
history Requirements Essay(s) 45% Presentations 20% Class attendance and participation 20% Text commentary 15% Essay(s) Essays in this course should develop a focused argument about one or two of the assigned literary texts. Ideally this argument will connect literature to visual art, or study visual aspects of the text, but other arguments are acceptable in consultation with me. The argument should be supported by ample evidence from the text. Further requirements are adapted to specific student levels. MA students will take the course as either “proseminar” or “seminar.” First-year MA students must fulfill the proseminar requirements; second-year MA students may choose proseminar or seminar (but must complete at least one elective as seminar in the second year). Proseminar students will write a midterm paper (due 11/25) and a final paper (due 01/18) of 1500 words each, with at least one secondary academic source (that is, a published scholarly essay related to your topic) per paper. Seminar students will write one term paper (3000 words, two secondary academic sources, due 01/18). BA students will follow the proseminar paper schedule; however, the length for each BA paper is 1000-1200 words and secondary academic sources are not required. Any student may, with the instructor’s approval, choose to expand a midterm paper into a longer final paper. Presentations, using PowerPoint: 1) Individual presentation on one visual artist, on the week listed in the schedule. Requirements: 15 min. No more than two slides on life of artist; focus on analysis of 4-5 of the artist’s works, as representing the artist’s style and subject matter. 2) Pair presentation on one of the assigned secondary readings marked with an asterisk (*). Requirements: 20-25 min. Summarize the argument, referring to page numbers in the text. If the argument relates to works of visual art, include some images in your PPT. Class participation. Read and prepare the texts assigned for each class meeting before the beginning of class. Come to every class prepared to comment on the assigned readings and visual images. Contact the teacher regarding any absence. Text commentary (about 500 words, single spaced and preferably formatted on one side of a page). Write a commentary on an assigned reading for one class meeting, focusing on a particular passage or specific issue. Include some brief, relevant quotations in your
57
commentary, with proper MLA citation. Provide copies of your commentary for all class members, and read it in class as a basis for questions and discussion. Commentaries must be emailed to all class members by midnight on the evening prior to the presentation. Tentative Schedule

programming tools such as Scratch, CoSpaces Edu., and various open educational resources. Students will be guided to create eCards and AR/ VR game stories in a peer collaboration environment. It is hope that, first of all, through visualized programming environments, students’ story-telling skills and logic thinking ability could be developed; and also, through problem-based learning/ pair programming learning strategies, students’ confidence and enjoyment levels of programming could be both enhanced.
