Description:

LITPA 2000 courses introduce students to the study of literature or the performing arts, emphasizing analysis of both particular works and of the range of genres, periods and traditions. Frequent reading and writing assignments will be made.COURSE DESCRIPTIONFor the past few decades, thanks to changes in technology and interconnectivity, readers and audiences from most cultures have experienced a boom of visual and written stories from cultures and languages other than their own. These films and texts have affected in profound ways our world view and our storytelling styles. This seminar will examine international films and novels that represent some of the most intriguing and pertinent aspects of life in other cultures and nations. We will try to cover as many narratives as possible from countries that rarely get the attention of the U.S. mainstream media and critics. Students will be invited to think of how a global understanding of reality can add layers of complexity to their own creative work.
