This blocked course is largely discussion based, and active and regular participation in class discussion on zoom is thus critical for your success in this class. In addition to close readings of primary texts and visual art, we will also view and analyze specific scenes of relevant films; Students are required to read all the assigned primary and secondary texts by the due date and come to class prepared with specific questions and comments. In addition to plenary discussions students will at times also work in smaller breakout groups. There will be 3 short writing assignments due prior or after 3 sessions of your choice. The main writing assignment is an original research paper on one or more of the assigned texts/artworks/films we discussed in class due by August 30, 2021.
