Section Info: Get ready to experience tales you thought you knew and tales you never knew. We read substantial parts of the Grimms' 19th-century collections and some of their French and Italian predecessors, and we consider other storytelling forms, film, and illustration. All the while, we investigate how power, gender, race, class, and ecological issues play out in these surprisingly dense, meaningful, and very old stories. Why do we continue to tell and to know these tales? Why do certain stories recur again and again, in Western and other cultures? The power of narrative is at the center of our lives, and of these tales, and by the end of the semester we will understand this power much better. This course fulfills General Education requirements in Literature and the Arts and in Western and Comparative Culture. Same as GER 251 and ENGL 266. Credit is not given for both CWL 254 and CWL 250.
