Prerequisite: ENGL-135
Course Description:
Organized as a seminar in cultural history,
the course develops student responses to representative works of literature,
history, philosophy, music and a wide range of visual and performance arts.
Students analyze and evaluate creative works in areas such as painting, poetry,
drama, dance, film, and architecture. They discover the personal significance
of these forms, make connections between works and genres, and locate patterns
and ideologies that define the spirit of a time. Discussions, essays, oral
presentations, and visits to cultural events or venues prepare students for more
advanced inquiry in subsequent courses.
