副題 AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOOD NOVEL
講義内容 　文学の特質は、人間が問い続けてきた存在の謎や多様な人間の行動を一つの物語の枠に収め、言葉の魔術的な効果によって我々に未知の世界・心理を体験させることにある。
　この講義は、英米文学の小説を取り上げ、様々の要素（プロット、性格描写、象徴、主題、作者の視点など）が、いかに組み合わされ、一つの作品世界が造形されているかを明らかにすると同時に、文学作品の熟練した読みが人生への洞察を拡げ・深めることを明らかにする。
講義計画 This course on the novel stresses setting (where the action takes place) , progress of the plot, ethnic backgrounds of the characters, author's themes, and interdisciplinary approaches to the novel. The teacher will lecture in English for fifteen minutes on the material assigned from the textbook. After fifteen minutes there will be small-group discussion and questions to the teacher. Then the teacher will continue to lecture for another fifteen minutes, etc. At times video will be used to illustrate the cities and neighborhoods described in the text.
　The following groups of people, writers, and cities will be studied from sociological, historical, and literary viewpoints: 1: Irish / Farrell and Greeley / Chicago; 2: Italian / Puzo / Now York; 3: Japanese / Toshio Mori and Sone / Oakland and Seattle; 4: African / Wideman / Pittsburgh.
評価方法 The grade will be based upon: 1) class attendance, 2) written work done in class (quizzes and reflections) , 3) Mid-term and Final examinations. It is expected that the students read the assigned material before the class so they will have some idea of what the teacher is talking about.
