Cross-Cultural Thematics

Credit: 3 hours.

Explores a combination of western and non-western literature through the focus on a shared theme, exploring differences in treatment both within and among different cultures. Two such thematic focuses are offered in rotation; one on concepts of love and one on ways of writing about death. Both themes introduce students to a wide array of famous texts from different cultures and also offer some varied perspectives for their own inevitable thoughts on these major topics.

May be repeated to a maximum of 6 hours if topics vary. Students may register in more than one section per term.
