ENG 1A 1 Introduction to Literary Studies
[ hum wi ]

Modern Literature and the Problem of Evil. This course takes a fresh look at the study of literature by exploring how a variety of authors and genres confront the problem of evil in the modern world, from Elizabethan drama to graphic novels and film. We'll practice using several influential literary theories to make sense of what we read and see. Texts include the Book of Job, King Lear, Paradise Lost, Robinson Crusoe, Art Spiegelman's Maus, and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things.

FA 192A 1 Studies in Modern and Contemporary Art
[ ca oc ]

Histories of Modern and Contemporary Art have largely followed the maps and timelines of political or economic developments like colonialism, industrialization, the Cold War, or post-industrial capitalism. In 2013, China announced the Belt and Road Initiative inaugurating a new economic and political map of the globe. This seminar asks what a history of art might look at if we started with this map. This history has not been written; this course is truly an investigation for which we will start with the BRI outside China and learn together about contemporary art occurring along its routes.
