Job title:
Fellow and Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley
Bio/CV:
Charles Altieri was an ARC Fellow in Spring 2011– he was chosen in the Faculty Fellow category.
Charles Altieri has been primarily interested in the varieties of Twentieth Century American poetry, especially in relation to philosophy and to the visual arts. He also recently wrote a book on the affects and that shapes his thinking on most topics. But he is in transition. Altieri has been teaching Shakespeare and Hegel and will teach the epic because he wants a grand stage on which to figure out what he can say about affect in literature. He is also working on book introducing ways of thinking about modern American poetry.
