Subject: Catholic Studies (UG) (CATH)
CRN: 20847
In Person | Lecture
St Paul: In Person
Requirements Met:
Catholic Studies Concepts
Context and Convergences
Writing to learn
What even is language? Can we use words to understand God? How do we communicate experiences of silence, contemplation, and love? What does it look like for a human soul to journey towards union with the divine? How do poetry and literature intersect with these questions? Our course will follow the threads of these topics through texts of diverse genres within the tradition of Christian mysticism: theology, personal revelations, poetry, and fiction. We will examine both canonical mystics like Julian of Norwich and contemporary writers like Denise Levertov. Along the way, we will think about how and why they work to articulate what’s inarticulable, illuminate what’s dark, and explicate what’s hidden.. This course fulfills the Contexts and Convergences requirement in the English major and a Concepts requirement for Catholic Studies students. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course; there are 10 seats on the ENGL 334 side and 15 seats on the CATH 334 side. Prerequisites: ENGL 106, 120, 121, or 190.

Writing to learn
Science fiction, romance, political treatises, poetry, autobiography, historical fiction—these are all genres through which Latino, Latina, and Latinx writers have created literary worlds and expressed their hopes and desires for themselves and their communities. This course examines literature as a powerful means of expression and representation for one of the fastest growing populations in the US, and considers the impact of Latinx literature, art, film, and culture on US society. We will read authors from diverse Latinx backgrounds, including Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Victor LaValle, Erika Sanchez, Angie Cruz, Daisy Hernandez, Elizabeth Acevedo, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, as well as film and television by Gregory Nava, Robert Rodriguez, Tanya Saracho, and others. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities core requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice core requirement, and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
