In AMCD 200, students learn about the historical and theoretical foundations of Cultural Studies as an academic discipline and use cultural theory to analyze a variety of cultural products and representations. In this course, students look specifically at dominant and subversive constructions of gender, race, ethnicity, national and sexual identities, and how these constructions are deployed through cultural practices and productions such as sports, film and television, folklore and popular culture, youth subcultures, music, and so on. For example, the course may contain units on "nation" and the creation of American mythologies; the process of hero-making in American history; stereotypes and the representation of race and ethnicity in television and film; representations of gender and sexuality in advertising; as well as a section on American music from jazz, blues, folk and roots music, to rock and roll, punk, and hip-hop. NOTE: Ten seats in this class are reserved for first year and sophomore students.

Street art—including graffiti, murals, and other installations in public space—provides expressive avenues for marginalized voices, shapes urban space, and promotes competing visions of community development. In contrast to art that is created for museums or the commercial art market, street art is uniquely positioned to engage with social issues from a critical perspective. This class will involve an analysis of street art projects from the United States, situated in comparison with projects from around the world. Topics to explored include the history of street art over time (from its origins in graffiti to contemporary mural festivals); the impetus for street art in communities in the USA and globally; models for creating, preserving, and presenting street art; the institutionalization of street art; street art as it relates to diversity and inclusion; and, ultimately, the potential for street art to play a role in social change.

This Course focuses on analyzing and understanding Classical epic poetry, the ancient presentation of heroic figures and heroic exploits, and recognizing the influence of epic/heroic literature on the modern storytelling device of film. While the genre of epic is central to the course, other genres (both literary and cinematic) which present he-roic figures, e.g., tragedy, history, comedy, action, fantasy, will also be explored. Analyzing the works read or viewed via writing and class discussion will constitute the primary course activities; students will engage in reading, viewing and writing outside of class, while class time will include some writing, viewing and discussion. In order to allow am-ple time for discussion and analysis, the majority of films in their entirety will be viewed outside of class. The course grade will be based substantially on written analysis (i.e., essays, papers) of the texts and films studied. ENGL 203 may also be substituted for this course.

Even in the land of Super Targets and Big Mac hamburgers, bigger is not always better--at least not in terms of literature. Short stories, because of their compression and intensity, offer lively plots and constant surprises. To the delight of readers everywhere, American authors provide a wellspring of tales that uncover our past, define our present, and speak to our future. In keeping with our diverse American heritage, stories have been chosen from a broad cross-section of literary and cultural traditions. Alongside canonical authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Ernest Hemingway, we read the works of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Louise Erdrich, Kate Chopin, and others, examining how these diverse voices diverge from, resist, and transform the traditional American short story canon. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

How did the modern warfare of World War I change those who fought and those who stayed at home? Why did so many of the best American artists flee to Paris? How did the traditionalism and stability of the 1950s lead to the radicalism and rebellion of the 60s? How has technology, from the typewriter to the internet, reshaped literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework though extensive readings in American literature from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as progress and innovation, war, the “lost generation,” the New Woman, race, and conformity and individuality. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190.

What might it mean to speak of “the classical tradition?” What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? From the ancient Greek gods in their serenity to the howls of the damned in Dante’s vision of the afterlife, whether mythological or theological, the works to be studied engage us in the most fundamental questions about what it means to be human. Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from ancient Greece to the Renaissance, including some interactions of the European traditions with ancient or medieval Asian, Mesopotamian, or Middle Eastern literatures. Authors may include Homer, Aeschylus, Sappho, Virgil, Dante, Rumi, Marie de France, and Christine de Pizan. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major and a Classical Culture requirement for Classics majors and minors. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with CLAS 298-L01. There are 15 seats on the ENGL 220-L01 side and five seats on the CLAS 298-L01 side,

  Catherine Craft-Fairchild

Increasingly, education for nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals includes the practices of reading literature, writing reflectively, and engaging in role-play to learn how to care for patients (and for themselves). This is sometimes called narrative medicine. By focusing on stories (of the patient, the healthcare professional, and the cultures and systems in which both live) and therefore humanizing the often-impersonal world of the healthcare system, it improves the quality of care for patients and reduces burnout among healthcare professionals. In this course we will engage in practices of narrative medicine, reading and writing about literature as a means of understanding ourselves and others. The texts we'll read illuminate questions about pain and illness, empathy and the training of healthcare professionals, the health implications of racial and economic injustice, and the need for reformation of the healthcare system.

Poets and neuroscientists agree that the human mind is essentially literary; it depends on narrative imagining, on story. In this course we ask questions like what it means to have a literary imagination, and how a literary imagination uses language to create worlds, generate beauty, expose injustice, and envision new possibilities for individual and collective change. We also identify the kinds of conversations the discipline of literary studies has historically had about literature, such as about its definition, why it is organized into genres, how those genres work, how we read and write about literature, and why we care about it.

The course will discuss how to enter the publishing industry, what to expect as a writer, and the industry’s issues and inequalities. We will walk through the hurdles and steps a manuscript must pass to achieve publication, and we’ll workshop materials that will be useful in publishing (such as marketing pitches and query letters). We will also engage with the industry’s history and with the local Twin Cities literary environment. The aim of the course is to empower students with industry knowledge and current trends so that they can be successful as writers or future editors.

This course uses literature to investigate how female athletes use their sport and their bodies to fight for women's rights and to change our world. In 1894-1895, Annie Londonderry biked around the world and spoke out for equality. Frances Willard advocated for the eight-hour workday, equal pay for women, and suffrage, then learned to ride a bike at age 53, and wrote about the freedom biking gave to women. In the winter of 1912 in New York, women walked 170 miles in Suffrage Hikes advocating for their right to vote. These women paved the way for athlete-authors such as Lynne Cox (who held the world record for swimming the English Channel) and Maxine Kumin (who, along with being U.S. Poet Laureate and a Pulitzer Prize winner, was a collegiate swimmer and rower). These and other great women writers explore their sports and their bodies in ways that both reflect and contest societal restrictions and expectations. This course will use their texts and other essays, articles, short stories, novels, and poetry from the late 1800s to today to explore the intersections of women, sport, and the body in literature. This course is ideal for students studying literature, gender, and various facets of physical education, sport, health, and human development. Texts may include: A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME: WOMEN'S LITERATURE ON WOMEN'S SPORT, AROUND THE WORLD ON TWO WHEELS, WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL, SWIMMING TO ANTARCTICA, CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, and GIRL RUNNER. Additionally, we will venture out of the classroom for some women's sports...maybe even play a little ourselves... and invite pro and semi-pro athletes in as guest speakers. This course satisfies the WAC Writing to Learn requirement as well as an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, & Social Justice requirement; and a Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies major and minor requirement.

This course is designed to introduce students to the filmmaking process, from script to screen. We will concentrate our attention on two main elements - understanding the technical concerns of narrative filmmaking (the apparatuses, learning camera functions and techniques, and using editing software), AND developing students' artistic voice through storytelling and film analysis. The course aims to strengthen students' ability to conceive and flesh out ideas that will lead to compelling, authentic, personally meaningful short films and give them the critical foundation of film study and production tools to execute their ideas. Students will begin to develop their own artistic vision and style through filmmaking. Prerequisite DIMA 240 Digital Imagery and Sound.

Introduces students to historical reasoning. Students learn to analyze evidence from the past in context in order to explain how the past produced the ever-changing present. The course introduces students to social, political, cultural, and economic developments from the American Civil War to the present day. It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped
the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.

Introduces students to historical reasoning. Students learn to analyze evidence from the past in context in order to explain how the past produced the ever-changing present. This course will look at the history of East Asia in regional and global contexts. Students will build a foundation by learning about the formative era of Chinese history in the first millennium BCE, focusing on the creation of Confucianism and the imperial system. They will follow East Asia’s emergence as a distinct historical region comprising China, Korea, and Japan, and the ties these countries maintained among themselves and with the rest of Asia. As they enter the early modern era, students will focus on connections between East Asia and the world, such as the silver economy. The class will conclude by looking at East Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a special emphasis on global historical themes of colonialism and industrialization. Through this class, students will learn to analyze changes and continuities over long periods of time. They will also learn to frame historical events in their local specificity as well as in their common humanity.
