19 courses with the subject LIT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
LIT 100Exploring Global Literature3
“The universe is made of stories, not of atoms,” wrote poet Muriel Rukeyser. Across the globe people are reading, writing, and telling stories more than ever before in human history. These stories, poems, lyrics, and language shape our understanding of ourselves, society, and what is possible. This course introduces students to English studies, the practice of analyzing the authors, cultures, languages, and power of global literature past and present, giving students tools to understand and decode our shared world of stories, online, offline, and in the unwritten future. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring This course examines literary texts in translation from across the globe. The course employs different theoretical frameworks to examine how authors from different countries engage with issues such as colonialism, gender, race, class, and climate change. Special emphasis will be placed on contrasting literary representations of these issues across different cultures, while also reflecting on how those themes are represented in our national context. 3 credit hours
The United States is a diverse nation in its languages and cultures, and so it is in its literature. This course examines the development of the United States through a variety of literary texts from pre-colonial times through the present, with a focus on the historical and social contexts in which they appear, from within and without national borders. The course will explore the development and expression of some of the fundamental assumptions, myths, and beliefs that influence the ways Americans have thought about themselves and their society. 3 credit hours
LIT 283British Literature: Shakespeare and Beyond3
Global literature from the tip of South America to China, from California to South Africa, has been influenced widely and deeply by the literature of Britain, and by no writer more than that of Shakespeare. This influence has happened through forces economic, market, cultural, and violent. This course studies this literature alongside its impact and use in England and far beyond. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring This course investigates the important role science fiction plays in cultures such as ours where science and technology are such visible and dominant institutions. Books, films, and other media such as radio programs and online video games that are part of the science fiction genre ask important questions about the nature of knowledge, reality, and progress, especially as they are shaped by science and technology; the nature and identity of humankind; morality; environments here on Earth as well as beyond; relationship of humans to technology and the environment; and many other issues. These questions are discussed within a science fiction context in this course. 3 credit hours
