Description:
A study of personal and social identity through careful analysis of major works of world literature and media. This class explores essential human questions such as: How do we recognize ourselves as individuals? How do we understand ourselves as part of a social group? How we are perceived by others? How can cultural products reflect perspectives on identity and individuality? The class thus contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural construction of self and offers more nuanced standpoints on identity politics and questions of diversity. Taught in English.
