Catalog description

Where do our beliefs about love and romance come from? Is it true that "sex sells"? This course examines representations of love in advertising and popular culture from the 1920s, 1950s, 1980s and the present. We'll compare texts such as Ladie's Home Journal , I Love Lucy , and Dynasty to Maxim , Desperate Housewives , and Mad Men . Enrollment limited to 17 first year students and sophomores.
