Literature and Medicine

SHOW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE

Credit: 3 hours.

Introduction to the interchange between the medical and literary imaginations – how diseases, bodies, and minds get written about and represented culturally. The premise of the course is that ideas and experiences concerning our health are always mediated through the literature we read, the films we watch, and the stories we tell our doctors and that they tell us. Our focus will be on how literature and film have played and continue to play a crucial role in understanding health on local, national, and global scales.

All share a common lineage in that they've been imagined as viruses that spread around the globe. Looking at popular novels, comic books, documentaries, and films about global epidemics is, thus, a way of thinking about health and wellness as a world phenomenon. As a plus, students will connect their learning on the spread of viral disease worldwide, inside and outside fiction, to an archive of materials assembled by the University Library.
