What might it mean to speak of “the modern tradition”? What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? How does the modern tradition help us understand about concepts such as authorship, originality, literacy, and literary excellence? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from the seventeenth century through the present, including some interactions of the European traditions with modern African, Latin American, or Asian literatures. Authors may include Racine, Goethe, Flaubert, Dostoevsky, Rilke, Solzhenitsyn, Duras, Lispector, and Achebe. This course satisfies both the Integrations in the Humanities and the Global Perspectives core requirements as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, This course also fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with a Literature Emphasis and English with a Creative Writing Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, and one of two options for English with Secondary Education Emphasis majors..

In his life Shakespeare most likely never left the shores of England. In his work, however, his imagination roamed widely, exploring the theological and monarchical conflicts around Europe, the multicultural city of Venice, and fears and fantasies of Africa, the Mediterranean, and the New World. In the centuries since his death, Shakespeare’s plays have ventured from London’s Globe Theatre to circumnavigate the globe in dramatic, literary, and cinematic adaptations from nearly every nation. We will read several of the plays, discussing them within the global context of Shakespeare’s day, will watch contemporary global retellings of the plays, and will create our own Shakespearean adaptations. Application has been made to have this course satisfy an Integrations in the Humanities requirement and the Global Perspectives requirement (approval likely, but not guaranteed). This course also satisfies the Early British Literature and Context and Convergences distribution requirements for English with Literature Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Creative Writing Emphasis and English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, a requirement for English with Secondary Education majors, and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. In addition it also satisfies both an Integrations in the Humanities and a Global Perspectives requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

GSPA 540-01 Mexican Cinema & ID This course will trace the history of film in Mexico during more than eight decades. We will study critical sources and films from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema (1930s-1950s) to the present era. Works will include those by influential directors, such as Fernando de Fuentes; films by émigré directors like Luis Buñuel (Spain); films from the documentary genre, and films by many other important contributors to this large body of cinema. The course is organized by the following themes/topics designed to reflect the rich variety of Mexico’s cinematographic production: the Mexican Revolution, masculine identity, feminine identity, genre cinema, LGBTQI films, and recent box office successes. Through viewing this wide range of films, students will gain a greater understanding of Mexican film production in its historic, cultural and aesthetic dimensions.

Study will focus on the creative works of women in western European theatrical and musical traditions. The seminar will be topic oriented; rather than studying the composers and playwrights in strictly chronological order, we will approach their work in terms of topics they addressed, including questions of spirituality, romantic love, and politics.

This course explores the transformation of family life in the modern world through a global lens. Specific topics we will cover include dating and mate selection, love and romance, cohabitation, marriage, divorce, and parenting. We will examine how broader social forces such as globalization, technological development, and race/class/gender inequalities have affected intimate relationships. Some of the questions we will discuss include: How are seemingly personal matters such as love and sex shaped by global economics and politics? What are some of the new desires, pleasures, and emotions that have emerged in the 21st century and through what processes are they circulated as commodities across cultural and geographical borders? This course explores family formation both within and outside the U.S. and encourages students to consider themselves part of a complex and fast-changing global environment.

This course will trace the history of film in Mexico during more than eight decades. We will study critical sources and films from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema (1930s-1950s) to the present era. Works will include those by influential directors, such as Fernando de Fuentes; films by émigré directors like Luis Buñuel (Spain); films from the documentary genre, and films by many other important contributors to this large body of cinema. The course is organized by the following themes/topics designed to reflect the rich variety of Mexico’s cinematographic production: the Mexican Revolution, masculine identity, feminine identity, genre cinema, LGBTQI films, and recent box office successes. Through viewing this wide range of films, students will gain a greater understanding of Mexican film production in its historic, cultural and aesthetic dimensions.
