Description: In this course we will consider representations of illness, queerness, disability, and the imaginary body in contemporary literature. We will explore, and sometimes explode, the myth of normalcy. No body is normal, even to itself. No body is ever one thing, but growing and falling apart in time. When we come to know that our bodies are perforated, what do we gain and what do we lose? How can a poem or a story unravel the contradictions between body, world, and mind, solitude and community, stigma and resistance, poison and cure? How does medical discourse limit how we think [about] the body? Students will respond to the readings through creative writing exercises and literary essay. Students will also participate in a community outreach project.
Prerequisite(s): One previous literature or creative writing course. Strongly recommended: a previous course in gender studies or queer theory. Fulfills a creative writing elective. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.
Formerly: ENGL 166 PZ Literature, Illness, Disability

ENGL 131B PZ -Fiction Insurrections: Punk Nerd Revolution!
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course is designed as a workshop. As part of our constructive writing community, you will strive to create compelling works of fiction–work that demands to be read. We will be guided by the notion that, like any truly brilliant act of insurrection, genuinely innovate writing is equal parts risk, focus, and determination. Through a careful examination of selected literary Insurrections–textual most-pits, if you will–we will fine-tune our critical abilities to incorporate meaningful rebellion in our own work. From Gertrude Stein’s surrealist narrative transgressions, to Andre Breton’s 1928 ultra-proto-punk Nadja, to Patti Smith’s howling history-laden rants, to Alice Fulton’s call for writers to treat “the tongue as a muscle,” to Leonard Cohen’s inter-millennial telephonic raw lust odes in Beautiful Losers–we’ll even throw in a classic Riot Grrrl song and a Fugazi punk lament for good measure–we will learn from the smartest and boldest rebels with a cause. And we will write. And edit. And revise. a lot. Let the punk nerd revolution begin!
