1 KRISHNA IN INDIAN LITERATURE AND ART ANS 372 : & RS 341: Spring 2017 TTh 5:00 6:30 MEZ Rupert Snell In this new course we will encounter Krishna in his many different aspects and forms, from the spiritual advisor in the Bhagavad Gita to the spirited Krishna Gopal, beloved deity of medieval and modern Vaishnavism. Alongside the many texts sampled in English translation we will also study Krishna in painting and iconography, and savor performances dedicated to the praise of this unique deity. See the draft syllabus below. Students with a good reading knowledge of Hindi may also take an optional add-on, for one hour s class credit, HIN 130D, in which we will read Braj Bhasha texts in the original. Mail rupertsnell@austin.utexas.edu for more details. 1

Feedback on outlines and drafts is available and you are strongly advised to take this opportunity for enhancing your work! PARTICIPATION & DISCUSSION Our classes will run on the seminar model, regularly beginning with a discussion of the week s reading and then branching out into a broader presentation and discussion of the week s topic. Your careful reading of the various articles and chapters will facilitate your writing of the response papers, will help you take a meaningful part in class discussions (leading to a good grade in the 25% of the total allocated to Participation & Discussion), and will strengthen your hand when it comes to writing the mid-term exam and the term paper. 3

4 RESPONSE PAPERS Response papers should be brief about words. Head your paper with the bibliographical details, like this: Selby, Martha: On the translatability of intention in Indian poetry, in Journal of South Asian Literature, Vol. 26 No. 1/2 (1991), pp There is much good advice online for the writing of response papers: in particular the PDF available from Duke University is worth reading before you start your first piece: The ideal response paper for this class will include (a) your synopsis of the author s main points, and (b) your individual reaction to what has been said. Your papers are to be written in English and submitted through Canvas, through which I will give you timely feedback. Don t fall behind in your work, and I won t either!
