Dear Topians--
Here are the five assigned readings for the first day of class. The James and Moylan are in the Theory/Utopia folder on BB. The Fitting essay is in the Theory/Jameson folder, where I have put a number of other reviews of Jameson's book that might be helpful in figuring out his general plan. Of all these reviews, only the Fitting is required.
See you next week!!
