Shuffling the Deck

As I said at the beginning of the semester, this course is a new one and one that's still developing, so a little shifting of content is to be expected.  That having been said, we've progressed pretty stably so far, this term, but with four weeks left, I'm looking at the scheduled topics for each day and realizing I'd like to change things up a little.  Here's the current breakdown for weeks 13–15:

Week 13

  • Tuesday, November 19th: Chant/Litany: Ginsberg, Lindsay, Rothenberg  — Scharf / Wright K.
  • Thursday, November 21st: Sound and Subversion 1: Asemic Writing: Tzara, Schwitters, Rothenberg, Bernstein, Melnick  —  White / Grieco / Nelson / Taylor K.
Week 14

  • Tuesday, November 26th: Sound and Subversion 2: N. America: Bök, Nichol, the Four Horsemen, Reich, Lucier — Dollard / Kendrick
  • Thursday, November 28th: No Class — Thanksgiving
Week 15

  • Tuesday, December 3rd: Sound and Subversion 3: Europe: Bergvall, Blonk, cheek, et al.  — Taylor K. / Tierney
  • Thursday, December 5th: Sound and Subversion 4: Homophonic/Homolinguistic Translation, Mondegreens, etc. — York / Radakovich
and here's the way I'd like to proceed instead:

Week 13

  • Tuesday, November 19th: Poets Theater / Indigenous Poetics  — Scharf / Wright K.
  • Thursday, November 21st: Catch-Up Day  —  White / Grieco / Nelson / Taylor K.
Week 14

  • Tuesday, November 26th: Sound and Subversion 1: Dada Poetics /Asemic Writing — Dollard / Kendrick
  • Thursday, November 28th: No Class — Thanksgiving
Week 15

  • Tuesday, December 3rd: Sound and Subversion 2: N.America & Europe — Taylor K. / Tierney
  • Thursday, December 5th: Sound and Subversion 3: Homophonic/Homolinguistic Translation, Mondegreens, etc. — York / Radakovich
 Today I'll open up the floor for students to switch days if they'd like.
