gyeum got a reaction from Glasperlenspieler in The Language Requirement
Yes, that's right. But my research (African and African-American comparative literatures) are only really written in English and French, so maybe I'm a special case.

I got an email late last night from the DGS. I was drunk when I got it so I deleted it by mistake lol #thirstythursday.
Sometimes people find out a day or so before the others, so if you also applied, you may find out today. That happened with me for Berkeley too.

gyeum got a reaction from hmss9245 in Waiting as a Comp Lit person
I'm also very interested in narratives, but more or less the means by which sociological positionalities influence the ways we interact with and engage with narratives. So how do men read women's narratives (sometimes about the marginalization of women by men) and internalize that information, given that they can only understand so much of someon else's experiences. I suppose this is more of less an intersection of narratology and critical theory.
I applied to ENS's International Selection for literary theory, but I doubt I'll do it, given I've already been admitted to Berkeley. The only thing that'd stop me from jumping straight from undergrad (I'm a senior rn) into a PhD is getting a Fulbright to get a French MA in Quebec. Fingers crossed for that!

Someone heard back from UChicago yesterday? The Humanities Division website says that POIs don't contact... so it's weird that they said the POI told them they were admitted...
I'm the person who posted about Berkeley and Judith Butler. It was such a shock! I'm still waiting to hear back from Penn and Yale. @ThePomoHipster, it looks like we have applied to essentially all the same US programs with the exception of Duke. I also applied to Cornell an Princeton, though.
Best of luck to everyone~

gyeum got a reaction from Straparlare in What was your writing sample?
My writing sample was the introduction of (current) undergraduate thesis. It outlines the most prominent theorists on the topic of language in postcolonial African and contemporary African American literature and posits that we can better understand the production of cultural discourses (I'm really using a cultural studies methodology) about language in Sub-Saharan African and the United States through the ways that writers resist and manipulate language.
My thesis is superrrr theory based, and my research interests are, no surprise, literary and cultural theory.
