Ford Hall B80
Course Catalog Description:
Analysis of selected 20th-century documentary novels. Nature of artistic truth in relation to historical truth. Cross-cultural comparisons of responses to impact of Anglo-American policies.
Class Description:
In COMM 3681W students will read important 20th-century novels and non-fiction works that focus on the impact of Europe and North America on Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The course fulfills the global perspectives requirement and the literature core requirement in the University's Liberal Education Curriculum. It is also a designated ?Writing Intensive? course. Recent history has been dominated by interventions by Europeans and North Americans on other parts of the world. Americans understand the motives for, and meaning of, this involvement differently from the way it is perceived by the native peoples of Africa, Vietnam, and in the Middle East. One goal of this course is to compare these different perspectives. For example, students will compare novels written by an English novelist (Joseph Conrad) and an African novelist (Chinua Achebe) by focusing on their different portrayals of Africa, Africans, and the Westerners who arrived to help and to exploit. A second goal of the course is to help you appreciate the persuasive power of literature. The course will focus particularly on how novels influence readers? perceptions of cultures and political events. It will explore how novels use uniquely artistic resources to influence readers by comparing the way literature works to the way more overtly rhetorical works persuade. Finally, the course will consider the ways that visual presentations influence audiences by examining a graphic novel and a documentary and fictional films.
