Meeting: December 10, 2012

Our final meeting of the fall semester will be held Monday, December 10, 2012 at 7:00, location forthcoming over email.  We will be reading Michael Warner's Publics and Counterpublics (2002)--if you still haven't picked up your copy, email Devon.  If you are pressed for time, please try and read the first chapter and the essay co-written with Lauren Berlant, "Sex in Public."  We also look forward to workshopping a paper from Michael Benitez, who has agreed to present a piece in progress on Oscar Wilde and the public sphere entitled "Wilde Perfection: (New) Aestheticism, Weaponized Discourse, and the Aesthetics of Sexuality in The Picture of Dorian Gray."  More details to follow over email.

At Monday's meeting, we will also go over plans for our Spring semester schedule--please think about possible dates that you would be willing to workshop a chapter or recent piece you have been working on.  We will update the site with the spring semester syllabus in the next few weeks.
