Record of Production: Identification, Description, and the Establishment of ENG 362

This exhibit will serve as a guide through the concepts and ideas of genre, history, theory, form, society, culture, wonder, interest, and difference, as they are explored through the work and experiments in ENG 362. 

"In this course, we will study genre as a historical and social formation, analyzing the relationship between the emergence of new genres and historical shifts in technologies of production and transmission, as well as the conditions that lead to certain forms of literature. We will examine the history of the book and its associated forms of literary art in conversation with non-literary objects to develop our sense of how the material world of things, economies, and bodies relates to the intellectual world of ideas, metaphor, and imagination. There is much that is experimental here: the goal is to expand our sense of how to both deploy and invent theories that help us better understand ourselves, our world, and our history."
