Understanding Culture: Language and Texts
Classes
There are no classes currently available for registration.
Overview
Our Understanding Culture: Language and Texts short course provides an introduction to what it means to study languages and cultures. We will explore the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural nature of language and cultural study by focusing on different kinds of text - literary, cinematic, historical, visual - from a variety of different cultural contexts: French-, German-, Italian- and Spanish-speaking.
You will learn the practical and theoretical tools you need to engage with these texts, and the cultural contexts that produced them, and to work with these tools in your own writing.
Assessment is via two 800-word tasks (20% each) and two 1500-word essays (30% each).
