Watching Literature and Reading Film

Catalog description

This course will tarry with questions of genre, representation, narrative, form, affect, adaptation, and so-called ?medium specificity? in and across poetry, fiction, drama, film, and television to explore the ways in which these forms of cultural expression trouble aesthetic, sociocultural, and historical boundaries. Our focus will be on world building within these works and how we might think with them to imagine the world anew. (ENGL-PST)
