AUTUMN COURSE LOOKBOOK
English 2290: Colonial and U.S. Literature to 1865 - Aliens in the America Mind
Fulfills GEC Requirements for Arts and Humanities: Analysis of Texts and Works of Art
Dr. Sara Crosby / TR 11-12:20 / 3 credit hours
This class will ask you to investigate the alien encounters that made "America." When Old and New Worlds met, the clash shook identities and truths that had seemed eternal. The unthinkable became reality, and ideas that previous generations would have judged insane-democracy, for instance-became "American." In this class, we will meet some of the criminals, captives, rebels, so-called "lunatics," and outcasts who emerged as "American" authors, and we will examine the strange new literature they wove out of their experiences on the edge of the unknown. In short, we'll try to map the development of an American psychology and understand the aliens in our own minds.
English 2264: Introduction to Pop Culture - Fandom Rules
Fulfills GE Requirement for Culture & Ideas
Dr. Sara Crosby / TR 1:30-2:50 / 3 credit hours
In this class, we'll examine the phenomenon of American "popular culture" by focusing on its strangest and most dynamic aspect: fan culture. One could argue that all fiction is fan fiction and that every film is a fan film, but this is explicitly true of many popular productions, which emerge out of an interaction with a restless public. We'll investigate the nature of that interaction and figure out its rules and its mysterious purposes and effects. As we sweep through American history, you'll learn about the origins of American pop culture and fandom (in sensational murder coverage and minstrel shows) and then track them through the dawn of Hollywood's celebrity culture and into the internet and comic-con era with its explosion of fan-produced content. By the end of the course, you'll participate in this process, too, by creating your own short fan fic or film.
