SUMMARY:FRIDAY: Art After 5 Graduate English social outing
DESCRIPTION:The GEA would like to invite you to our fall graduate student outing\, a visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the October 25 Art After Five. \nOn October 25th\, the Art After Five series will feature some short films of Charlie Chaplin\, live music by Brian Carpenter’s Ghost Orchestra\, and performances by Vaudevillian jugglers. This is all offered in conjunction with the exhibition Léger: Modern Art and the Metropolis\, on view Oct. 15-January 5. \n(Photo by B. Krist\, for http://www.uwishunu.com)\nThe hours of the event are 5:00-8:45 PM\, and admission is $14 for students. Directions and parking information are available at the Philadelphia Museum of Art website. \nFor those of us dependent on public transportation\, there are several bus and trolley routes that will get you into the museum area\, and bus routes 43 and 48 will get you closest to the museum itself if you are averse to walking a bit. If you need a ride or a group to commute with\, feel free to email Charlie Manis\, who will be happy to connect people. If you can offer a ride to others\, then we especially encourage you to email me and you will be much appreciated! \nSo on Friday\, October 25th\, put on your going-out clothes and join us for the rare night in which we grad students get to act out our full sophistication! We hope to see you all there! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Student-Faculty Theory Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Student-Faculty Theory Reading Group will reconvene on Wednesday\, 10/23 @ 11:30 in AH 1006.  \n\n\nWith Altieri behind us we will move on to a real philosopher: Husserl. We will be focusing on a lecture that introduces his later thought and explains the importance of his philosophical project to the future of “western civilization.” For our convienance\, we will also read the JHU Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism‘s entry on Phenomenology. \n\n\nOur post-Husserl agenda is to turn to Derrida. JD’s first book was on Husserl and in subsequent meetings will discuss the importance of Husserlian thought to the early Derrida and then\, afterwards\, read some of Derrida’s later work. For those who feel they want to take their knowledge of Derridan deconstruction beyond the routinized formula\, Husserl will provide us with some sort of “ground” before we begin to undo it. \n\nIf you are interested in the Student-Faculty Reading Group but find this scheduled time is inconvenient\, please contact Daniel Nutters. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:GEA Graduate Student Professionalization Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The GEA would like to invite all English graduate students to the second professionalization workshop of the semester Wednesday 10/16/13 at 11:00am in Anderson 1006. The focus of this workshop will be writing seminar papers. \nSeminar papers present a daunting task to new students who are likely encountering this kind of writing for the first time. We will be circulating sample seminar papers that proved successful in second year review or other classes\, and we will discuss some of the advice offered in Gregory Semenza’s Graduate Study for the Twenty-First Century: How to Build an Academic Career in the Humanities (2005). \nWe’ve decided to take this approach because different faculty have different requirements and expectations for paper writing\, and we thought it’d be fruitful if graduate students who are out of coursework could discuss such expectations with newer students. Semenza’s chapter can ground our conversation as we consider the utility of his advice and test it against our experiences. New students are especially encouraged to attend\, as are individuals who are out of course work: what do you wish you had known when you first began writing graduate essays? \nThe subsequent meeting will be either a CV workshop or a discussion about conferences and composing abstracts. We will discuss how to run this workshop on Wednesday. Please contact the GEA if you have suggestions or ideas for future workshops.

SUMMARY:Professionalization Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Beginning Wednesday\, October 2\, the GEA will be hosting monthly open meetings with graduate students and faculty to discuss professional development and job market preparation. We will use the first meeting to plan future workshops\, brainstorming topics and issues we would like to discuss with each other and with faculty. \nIn past semesters\, the GEA has hosted workshops assembled around specific themes: publication strategies\, preparing for conference presentations\, writing abstracts\, assembling one’s C.V.\, etc. This year\, these workshops will occur each month and will be open for many different topics of discussion. For example\, we might discuss the hiring/job process and how/where to find out about jobs with one of the department’s newly hired professors\, or plan a C.V. workshop with a faculty member who has led many of our job searches. What we envision is a meeting that will meet the needs of older students and new students alike: students further along in their careers can develop the materials and skills they need for the immediate future\, while newer students can become acquainted with the rigors of the academic career. \n

SUMMARY:CHAT Lecture with Priya Joshi: Rethinking the Theory of the Novel
DESCRIPTION:The Center for the Humanities at Temple presents a lecture by English professor Priya Joshi for their Distinguished Faculty Lectures Series.  In “Rethinking the Theory of the Novel\,” Dr. Joshi will examine the recent explosion of commercially successful English novels in India. What theory of the novel might emerge when it is based on anti-literary forms? How might attention to the anti-literary revise the history of the novel as it is presently conceived? \nWriters such as Chetan Bhagat illuminate a new purpose and presence of the twenty-first century novel that unabashedly enters that most popular of zones (the Bollywood film) where it participates and shapes dialogues about nation and citizen\, modernity and social purpose in realms far removed from print\, literacy\, and even the novel. That in the end may be the future of the novel in the twenty-first century: inhabiting a zone in which it actively coexists with other forms and media\, rather than obliterating or being obliterated by them. A literary history of such coexistence remains to be written. \n

SUMMARY:Panel on Surface Reading with Stephen Best\, Heather Love\, & Sharon Marcus
DESCRIPTION:This month’s presentation of the Penn Humanities Forum\, Humanities-At-Large\, features a discussion with Stephen Best\, Heather Love\, and Sharon Marcus on surface reading. \nIn “New Ways of Reading: Histories of Surface Reading\,” Stephen Best\, Heather Love\, and Sharon Marcus make the case for valorizing descriptive practices in literary criticism. The presentation takes as its starting point the concept of “surface reading” that Best and Marcus coined in their 2009 special issue of the journalRepresentations\, “The Way We Read Now.” Best\, Love\, and Marcus will survey a range of recent departures in literary studies from what Paul Ricoeur once described as the “hermeneutics of suspicion\,” from material histories of the book to the sociology of reading\, data mining to world systems analysis\, genre criticism to new formalism. They will go on to trace some unexpected genealogies of surface reading in literary studies\, art history\, and the social sciences. Showing the long history of practices such as summary\, paraphrase\, coding\, stylistic analysis\, pattern recognition\, bibliography\, and textual editing in literary scholarship\, that critics can develop ways of describing works that correct for interpretive biases even if they can never eliminate those biases. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Research Methods & Practices Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Graduate English Association for a professionalization workshop on “Research Methods & Practices.”  Professors Dan O’Hara and Miles Orvell will give presentations\, joined by Temple English graduate student Jen McKim. \n\nThis workshop will be focused on the interplay between academic reading and writing. Questions we will consider together include: where does the research process begin? With a text\, a passage\, or a close reading? A theoretical problem or cultural issue? An academic debate? How do you identify a problem you want to pursue and from there\, how do you begin to pursue it? Do you begin by reading\, writing\, or researching\, or note taking\, or somewhere else? What do all of those processes entail at the beginning/middle/later stages of your project? Do you go into the archive\, scour the internet\, or simply read the text in question again and again? How do you take notes\, how do you effectively utilize those notes? How do you know when to stop reading and begin writing or\, conversely\, how do you know if you need to read more or to research more? Finally\, how do you know when your are finished? When it is time to send in the paper or defend your dissertation? \n\nPlease join us for what is sure to be a stimulating discussion\, aimed at tackling some of the most important questions of our research strategies and methodologies.
