Summer 2013 | English 525/Comparative Literature 595/ or MALAS 600B
  
From time to time this semester, we will give
our seminar meeting a miss on campus--this is to
free up time for you to have an "out of body"
experience, in other words, an aesthetic experience
that directly relates to the required course materials
for our special experimental version of English 525?
MALAS 600a/CLT 595

How does it work?

During the semester we will have MANY organized,
pre-announced outings.  You are responsible to attend
at least TWO (2) of these--you make the call!  You
are free to attend any or all of them over and above
the stated requirement.

After you attend these events, send me a 250 word,
one-page piece on this experience--try to be as
critical/analytical/focused as you can be (even clever
and brilliant if you can) and try to conjoin something
of what you have witnessed/experienced to the
ongoing and evolving interests of our seminar. While
it is preferred that you post these writings on our
class Facebook page, you can also just send them
to me via email with the words OUT OF BODY in the
subject line, or, OG {Old Gangster}, print out your
brief essay and hand it to me in class!

So far there are now THREE sanctioned events--
more to follow...

OUT OF BODY COOL S/CINETREK 7:  A trip to DG Wills Bookstore

DG WILLS, run by the one and only biblio-rascal Dennis "D.G." Wills, is a fixture in the intellectual life of Southern California. Arguably the most eclectic bookstore south of Powell's Books in Portland and City Lights in San Francisco, DG Wills stocks used and new books (be sure to look for the secret entry to the used books section).  Your goal on this C/Sinetrek is to migrate your body north to La Jolla and prowl this ultra-cool bookstore. Try to find a book by an American writer that fits the Sex, Drugs, and Rock schema of our class--easier maybe, find another book written by on of our main authors: Palahniuk, Vonnegut, Hernandez, Dick, Burroughs etc. To get full credit for this post, try to take a selfie with Dennis and be sure to tell him that crazy Bill from SDSU sent you!

Your sinetrek narrative of this out of body experience must be posted by 12 noon Thursday June 27, 2013 or brought in and turned in during class that same day.
