What did you think of Edwidge Danticat’s The Dew Breaker?  Do you think the book expresses important ideas?  Do you find its depiction of Brooklyn-Haiti connections compelling?  Do you think it “works” as a hybrid genre between a novel and a short story collection?

What are your responses to the artwork of Joseph Cornell?

Confused?  Inspired?  Moved?  Underwhelmed?  (Other?)

Please add your comments here on Maus.  I’m especially interested in hearing your questions, at this stage.  Additionally, there are two questions I’d put to you: (a) Do you think there are things this book does as a graphic novel that couldn’t be done in another format?  (b) How would you describe Spiegelman’s approach to drawing?

Allen Ginsberg, San Francisco, 1955

Please comment here on “Howl” or the other Ginsberg poems we’ve read.  I’m especially interested in your thoughts about specific passages from the poems (stanzas, lines, and word choices) but welcome all comments and questions, big or small.

Any thoughts on the readings from the course packet that you didn’t get to express in class today?  Any questions to pose for the group’s consideration?

So, what did you think of it?  What were the best and worst choices made by the directors, lyricists, and actors as they moved Wedekind’s play from the page to the stage?

This seminar is an interdisciplinary exploration of the arts and cultural events of New York.  Our subject encompasses a range of performances, texts, and exhibits.  Our curriculum is based not only on reading but also on your interactive experiences with works of art.  By reflecting on these experiences in discussions, in creative activities, and in analytical writing, you will gain an understanding of the craft of the artists, their engagement with social issues, and the dynamic relationship between a work of art and its audiences.
