Writing to learn
Most cultural traditions around the globe have long identified both music and humor as supremely human activities, profoundly tied to language, community, and social living. In this class we will take comedy seriously (LOL). We will look at and listen to movies, asking not only what makes them funny (or not) but also examining how the soundtrack music reinforces, amplifies, identifies, and fortifies the comedic effect of the film. Through weekly engagement with images and sounds from all over the world we will explore the ability of humor not only to challenge boundaries of social and cultural conventions but also redefine our relationship with the minds of others and with things beyond our knowledge.
