LCS 466 - Women and the Creative Imagination

Institution:

Bryant University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: LCS121 Session Cycle: Fall Yearly Cycle: Odd Year The purpose of this course is to address the diverse motivations behind women's productions of creative texts - novels, films, and essays. Students will consider a series of thematic and theoretical questions, especially considering the process of forming a gendered identity. More-over, students will discuss the ways in which this identity can be radically transformed and/or destroyed through a connection with the supernatural or the monstrous. Of particular importance to our study will be an engagement with the concept of the female/ feminist quest. In addition, students will focus on important feminist literary critical questions, such as the concept of a "lost female tradition" of writing. Students will question whether women write differently than men. And we will explore how women's diverse experiences influence their writings - a diversity that crosses social and economic class, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Students who have received credit for ENG362 or ECS466, Women and the Creative Imagination cannot receive credit for LCS466. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Division English and Cultural Studies Department Course Attributes: Cultural Mode of Thought, English & Cult.
