Description	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. What does it mean to read the manifesto as a literary-cultural text? What makes a manifesto, and which tools best guide us through such documents? In this seminar, we will approach the manifesto through questions of genre, voice and narrative. We will try to develop an understanding-in-progress of its generic specifications, and the uses to which they are put. We will read a varied ion of manifestos, including artistic, feminist, and political. The seminar will be moderate in reading load, but will require a high level of class participation, as students will also be asked to find and present a manifesto of their own choosing, as well as attempt to write their own.
Certificates	All students are expected to attend class regularly and well-prepared, and to offer one presentation and one peer review. Testat: a manifesto of your own making (1-2 pages) and a theoretical discussion thereof (1000 words).
