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.
