HMNT 491 Nineteenth-Century Global Travelers
3 semester hours
Exploring colonial expansion during the nineteenth century, this course examines the impact imperial endeavors had on literary and visual production. We’ll look at how encounters with other peoples and nations shaped British identity and indigenous populations within the contact zone. In addition to engaging with postcolonial theories, this course is also interested in how new technologies, such as lithography and photography, rendered distant people and worlds legible to British subjects; how guidebooks helped form the new identity of the tourist; and how women played a role within Britain’s expanding empire. During the semester, we’ll not only read and interpret novels, poems, travel writing, photography, and early films but also investigate the culture of world fairs (exhibitions that brought “exotic” spaces to the metropole), national museums, and the emergent field of ethnography. While the course will explore nineteenth-century visual cultures, its focus will be on British literature from Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan” and Flora Tristan’s Peregrinations of a Pariah to Dickens’s Little Dorritt and Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado.

HMNT 493 Literature, Photography, and the Uncanny
3 semester hours
This course explores the intimate connection between writing and photography, looking at the ways in which writers mobilize photography in different literary forms from the short story to detective fiction. If today we understand the photograph as a privileged source of evidence, our selection of texts challenges the comfortable maxim that “seeing is believing.” Pairing texts on photographic practice and theories of photography such as Henry Fox Talbot’s The Pencil of Nature with fiction that draws on the emergent technology of photography such as George Eliot’s The Lifted Veil, we’ll investigate how literature borrows from the language of photography in complex ways - not simply as a shorthand for presenting the “real” but as a means of questioning representation and documentation itself. Through historical and theoretical approaches to photography and fiction, we’ll focus on texts from the 1830s to 1930s, examining different methods of approaching the word-image divide. We’ll also look at twenty-first century deployments of photography in the book, concentrating on W.G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn. What do these hybrid books tell us about writing and photography?
