Dramatic literature is our genre. Empathy, intimacy, and caregiving our subjects. Questions we’ll be asking include: how does the genre of drama lend itself to the development of empathy, of intimacy, of care? How is meaning negotiated in health, illness, and dramatic literature? Our reading will include theatre theory (e.g., Aristotle, Maria Irene Fornes, Sarah Ruhl), sociological theory on empathy and emotional labor (e.g., Arlie Hochschild, Allison Pugh), and a variety of plays (by Sophocles, Shakespeare, Ruhl, Quiara Alegría Hudes, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Amy Herzog, Caryl Churchill). We will examine case studies of organizations using drama and theater for healing, such as Theater of War and the uses of drama and theatre in medical school and social work training; and students will examine where their English major or minor education can be used in arts, healthcare, and social work settings. This course satisfies the Genre Studies requirement for English with a Creative Writing Emphasis majors and an ENGL 211+ allied requirement for select business majors. It also satisfies the core literature/writing requirement for students who started the current core with an ENGL 201, 202, 203, 204, or 206 class. For students under the new core program, this course is pending approval to count as an Integration in the Humanities course. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or ENGL 201, 202, 203, 204 or 206.
