International Letters and Visual Studies

The program in international letters and visual studies makes possible the study of literature, film, and visual arts in an international context. The major is aimed at students with a strong interest in global issues who wish to study the literature, cinema, or visual art of two or more cultures, to explore the interaction of cultures, and to gain theoretical insight on the discourses of literature, film, the visual sign, gender, and culture as such. The major requires solid grounding in at least one foreign language. Beyond the foreign-language preparation, the major requires twelve courses, distributed according to the emphasis selected by the student. The student must select either a literature emphasis, a visual studies emphasis, or a film emphasis. The major is administered by a committee of core faculty from the participating departments and programs.

Undergraduate Concentration Requirements

Language Preparation for the Major
Students are expected to have a firm grounding in two languages, one of which may be English. One of these languages will serve as a primary area of cultural emphasis and the other as a secondary area for the course work for the major. 

All students, regardless of the area of cultural emphasis, must take one foreign language through the eighth semester, pursued concurrently with the course work of the major. Students may choose to take up to six semesters of a second foreign language, which will serve as the secondary area of cultural emphasis, for the course work of the major. 

For all other students, English will be one of the two languages of the major's course work. These courses may be in English, American, and Anglophone literatures. In some cases, for example, when the major is structured as the exploration of a genre (the novel, the epic, etc.), the English-language component of the major may include foreign literatures in translation.

Recommended Additional Preparation for the Major
An introductory survey course in the literature of each cultural area of emphasis is strongly recommended, as are history courses in areas related to the conceptual focus of the major, and acquisition of technical proficiency in a visual discipline (e.g., calligraphy, painting, sculpture, filmmaking, theatrical design, or computer graphics and design), or a creative writing discipline (e.g., fiction, poetry, drama, essay, or journalism).

Requirements for the Major
The major consists of twelve courses, not counting those taken for language preparation. At least one of the twelve courses should be a seminar, directed study, or other intensive course requiring a substantial integrative project. The particular distribution of courses is determined by the emphasis selected by the student. The twelve-course selection is a fixed part of the major. Courses that may serve two categories of requirement cannot be double-counted within the major. Any departures from the proportions or content of these categories must be approved by petition to a committee of core faculty.

The Conceptual Focus
Students are expected to define, in close consultation with an adviser, a suitable conceptual focus and interaction of subjects, so that the specific combination of courses is neither arbitrary nor superficial. The active role of the adviser is important to a student's pursuit of this major. A student should not assemble courses randomly, but rather define an appropriate emphasis--whether in a world literature region; or an interaction of cultures; or a genre, or a particular era; or two interrelated eras; or gender experience within particular arts, literatures, and cultures; or perhaps a philosophical or theoretical issue relevant to the study of literature and the arts.

Conceptual focus for the major can examine domains such as the following: classical and medieval studies, Renaissance literature and art, the Age of Enlightenment, European Romanticism, literatures of the Third World, Asian literatures, Russia and the West, African-American and New World literatures, Jewish literatures in a world setting, diaspora cultures, women authors and gendered readings, world theatre and film, art and film, literature and politics, psychoanalysis and literary theory, psychoanalysis and film theory, the concept of "text" in literature and the arts. 

Sample majors with such emphases are published in a brochure that serves as a manual for students pursuing the major. Both students and faculty are invited to expand the repertoire of conceptual focuses, making the programs they design available to others.

LITERATURE EMPHASIS

I. National and ethnic literatures (six courses)
The student must take six literature courses--four in the cultural area of the primary language and two in that of the secondary language. At least two of the six courses, whether in the primary or secondary language group, should be 100-level literature courses in a language not native to the student, with readings in the original language, whatever the language of instruction or written assignments. If English is one of the two languages, and if the student's conceptual focus crosses linguistic boundaries, the "English" cultural area of the major may include foreign literature courses in English translation, provided the major as a whole still includes at least two courses with readings in a language not native to the student.

II. Visual arts and/or film (two courses)

Courses Acceptable for the Major
For present purposes, a cross-cultural course is defined as one that explores literary or artistic expression across national or ethnic boundaries, or that of two or more cultures living in proximity, or that of a diaspora culture living in several nations, or that of a racial or ethnic minority living in a particular nation. A gender-oriented course is one that comprises its content by gender, or makes gender experience or gender relations a principal (though not necessarily exclusive) focus of its subject matter.
