Whoever said that the author is dead? What a silly thing to say. Here's an idea: why not let actual writers teach lit courses? Here's another idea: instead of bringing theory to the text, why not teach what the text itself is saying? Too much literary theory makes my toes hurt.
You've landed at Diana Joseph's Syllabi. I am Diana Joseph; these are my syllabi. I teach at Minnesota State University, Mankato where every student is my favorite. My collection of short stories HAPPY OR OTHERWISE was published by Carnegie Mellon University Press. My memoir I'M SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY is forthcoming in March 2009 from Putnam Books.
