No class next week, as I'm otherwise engaged. In terms of assignment due dates: journals are due 4/17 and your first posts should be in by 4/14 and your two responses by 4/16. Certainly you can post earlier and more often. But you need to post; if you're only doing one set and not the other, I consider you as having done only half the assignment. Be warned.
As you have plenty of time to complete all readings, you should consider both theory readings in light of White Teeth. We've discussed feminism in relation to gender studies and about authorship from the perspective of Foucault (who was actually responding to Barthes), so make sure you can differentiate between feminism and gender studies and between Barthes and Foucault. There are similarities, but there are also places where they diverge.
Final note: from about Tuesday to Saturday of next week, I'll be checking e-mail only sporadically, so it may take me a little while to get back to you. I will be having office hours, however, both weeks.
Have a good weekend and I'll see you in two weeks.
