#3GoodThings (about literature)

1. My students really enjoyed William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," & we had a great time talking about it (& one student even knew the Zombies song named after the story; we all listened to it & had a good laugh).

2. A student from my first-year comp. class won a writing award for her essay on Edgar Allan Poe's "The House of Usher."

3. A student who is writing a thesis under my direction won a writing award for her essay on Rachel Cusk's Outline.

#ThreeGoodThings

1. My husband's sugar was very high. Through diet and exercise, he has been able to cut it down to a normal range.

2. A neighbor said how pretty our front yard is looking. It's a work in progress and I'm loving doing it. Photo attached.

3. My students did a great job discussing 2 short stories: Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" and the anonymously published (and oh so contemporary) 1857 story, "The Man Who Thought He Was A Woman."

Just accidentally texted some recent Marxist literary theory research to the post-modernists’ group chat.

We were discussing Henry V in class yesterday, and a student was having trouble with the final scene between Henry and Katharine. She asked: “Henry just won the Battle of Agincourt. He’s happy, his soldiers are happy, the audience is happy, Joseph Campbell is happy. Why does #shakespeare include it?”
It gave me a chuckle. Sometimes there are lighthearted stories coming out of the classroom.

Real Syntactic Feb 15

new project requires a new #introduction: I’m a settler scholar on unceded Sḵwx̱wú7mesh lands (so-called Vancouver east end.) I write about form, figuration, in-betweenness and amongstness, in the C19 Atlantic and inland waterways. Newer projects on settler uses of early C19 poetics in placemaking; and the category of the material in #mediahistory. I print stuff, #run, #bird, and am learning #changeringing as a Masorti Jew. I post about book[art]s, history, pedagogy, dogs. #litstudies #histodons

Bonjour tout le monde! Comme il y a beaucoup de nouveaux et nouvelles par ici, voici une nouvelle #introduction #introductionFR

Nous sommes une association consacrée à l'étude de la Renaissance, de l'humanisme et de la Réforme. Nous sommes pluridisciplinaires: tout nous intéresse, pourvu que ce soit en lien avec le XVIe siècle! Ce compte sert essentiellement à mettre en valeur les activités scientifiques des membres de l'association. Nous parlons aussi régulièrement de notre revue, entièrement éditée par nos soins, dont les archives peuvent être consultées sur Cairn ou sur Persée.
