Description: This course analyzes American Fiction (1960-2000) that depicts postmodernism, the radical cultural and intellectual shift that has profoundly altered Western traditional thought and art. Students will gain a more critical awareness of the aesthetic, ideological, and philosophical issues of postmodernism, and understand how traditional assumptions about meaning-making were undermined by doubts about knowledge, perception, and identity. Students from various majors across the curriculum will have the opportunity to explore the important interconnections between literature, cultural studies, philosophy, art, art history, architectural studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and physics, all of which intersect in postmodern thought and fiction.

Description: This course examines some of the myths underlying the western world view, and recognizes diversity and commonality in myths from Middle Eastern, Native North American, African, Asian, and South American cultures. Students compare and contrast myths from different cultures and analyze various themes, including: the goddess culture, the nature of creation, the dying and reviving god, and the hero's journey. In addition, students will identify Judaeo-Christian themes in various myths and evaluate the myths' psychological applications. From this process, they will gain an understanding of ethnocentrism, ethnicity and racism and the impact of these on the American experience.
