Oscar Wilde est l’auteur d’une œuvre abondante qui illustre tous les genres littéraires.
Parfois mal compris, sans doute en raison de la confidence qu’il aurait faite à André Gide (« J’ai mis tout mon génie dans ma vie; je n’ai mis que mon talent dans mon œuvre ») dont tout invite à penser qu’elle n’est pas authentique, Wilde, souvent perçu comme un esthète brillant ancré dans son siècle, était au contraire un écrivain innovant qui a bel et bien mis son génie dans son œuvre.
Si sa culture était immense, il a su l’utiliser pour créer une œuvre profondément originale qui s’interroge en permanence sur le pouvoir, ou sur l’impuissance, du langage.
Wilde avait également une pensée politique qui remettait en cause les présupposés de son temps, et son théâtre, notamment, rend compte de sa capacité à déstabiliser les catégories établies, par exemple celles du « masculin » et du « féminin », avec les implications idéologiques que cela suppose.
Ce MOOC s’intéresse aussi, par conséquent, à sa postérité qui montre bien que son œuvre fait sens pour les lecteurs contemporains.

This course will introduce you to the major topics, problems, and methods of philosophy and surveys the writings of a number of major historical figures in the field. Philosophy can be - and has been - defined in many different ways by many different thinkers. In a scholarly sense, philosophy is the study of the history of human thought. It requires familiarity with great ideas understood through the various major thinkers in world history. In its most general sense, philosophy is simply the investigation of life’s “big questions.” We will explore such fundamental questions in several of the core areas of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, political philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. With the help of commentaries and discussions from a number of contemporary philosophers, we will read and reflect on texts by major Western and non-Western thinkers including Lao Tzu, Buddha, Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Saint Anselm, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, John Locke, Immanuel…

This course, the fourth installment of the multi-part Poetry in America series, explores the poetry of Emily Dickinson, one of America’s most distinctive and prolific poets. While Dickinson wrote nearly 2,000 poems during her lifetime, she chose never to publish, opting instead to revisit and revise her works throughout her lifetime. Keeping this dynamic of self-revision in mind, we will consider a number of Dickinson’s poems—many seemingly in tension with one another—concerned with Nature, Art, the Self, and Darkness. We will travel to the Dickinson Collection at Harvard's Houghton Library, and to Amherst, Massachusetts, paying a visit to the house in which the poet lived and wrote until her death in 1886. Distinguished guests for this module include NBA athlete Jason Collins, dancers Damian Woetzel and Charles “Lil Buck” Riley, and President and CEO of the New America Foundation Anne Marie Slaughter, among others.

This literature course, the sixth module in the Poetry in America series, explores a diverse array of American Modernist poets and poems. While “Modernism” is notoriously difficult to define, the movement spanned the decades from the 1910s to the mid-1940s, and the poetry of this period marked a clear break from past traditions and past forms.
Throughout this module, we will encounter such poets as Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Claude McKay, Dorothy Parker, and Wallace Stevens. We will study how these poets employed the language of rejection and revolution, of making and remaking, of artistic appropriation and cultural emancipation. Traveling to the homes and workplaces of Robert Frost and Wallace Stevens; to the Poetry Foundation in Chicago, where the institution of American Modernism was born; and even exploring the River Thames in the London of Eliot's THE WASTE LAND, we will see the sites that witnessed—and cultivated—the rise of American Modernism.
