Escher, Bach (which received the Pulitzer Prize): “Sometimes the complexity of our minds seems so overwhelming that one feels that there can be no solution to the problem of understanding intelligence — that it is wrong to think that rules of any sort govern a creature’s behavior.” In this course, speakers from a variety of disciplines including philosophy, linguistics, political science, music, and mathematics will discuss how Hofstadter’s book relates to their fields of interest. This class will explore the elusive relationship between the artist and his audience. The city of Eugene will provide our context and we will spend several of our class sessions in the studios of local artists and craftsmen Not holding ourselves to any strict definitions of art, we will be tutored by a landrcape architect as well as by a pastry chef. During the quarter, too, the class itself will become an audience for p1 oductions of the Oregon Repertory Theatre and the Fugene Opera Company and meet with actors and directors. We will be looking at the intellectual history of the first half of the nineteenth century, examining in particular the sources of Darwin’s ideas. Topics will include the influence of natural theology, Romantic attitudes toward and in science, the character of debate in geology and biology prior to Darwin, the relation between science and philosophy in Darwin. Professor Alfred Weber, who directs the program in American literature at the University of Tuebingen in Germany, is a visiting professor at the University of Oregon during spring term. He will be teaching a graduate seminar on Nathaniel Hawthorne in the English Department and this course, “The Poetics of the Short Story (1744-1980)," which combines the study of selected stories with the study of narrative theory as it applies to the short story. After about two w< aks of introduction to basic fiction techniques (illustr ated by the work of major modern short-story writers), the class will proceed primarily as a workshop. We will discuss student stories in detail, with occasional paur ‘or treatment of general principles and problems. After preliminary exercises, 6,000 words of graded fiction are required, the stories to be handed in at two-week intervals HONORS COLLEGE* Third Floor Chapman Hall* 686-5414
