Snow Job

03Mar09

I know that some of you were unable to make it to class on Monday due to the snow. If you missed class, please check out the class notes for the day on the wiki, as we wound up having a wonderful discussion that moved from Foucault’s conception of spectacle as it relates to discipline and punishment towards the tension between conformity and resistance in Kafka’s novel.

For Wednesday, you should have finished The Trial. Before class tomorrow, I’m likely to post a critical essay or two here on the blog. You won’t be responsible for using those essays in your paper, but we will discuss them in class and they might help you better grapple with Kafka’s novel.

As always, please feel free to respond here in the comment section.
