Marylhurst University

Subject:

Description:

Love is often thought a timeless and universal emotion that is capable of transcending humanity's more base and biologically determined relation to sexuality. But what if the sexual act was freed of biological reductionism, or if love was thought to be an idea contingent on historical and cultural factors This course examines these and other questions by tracing how love and sexuality are represented in both philosophical and literary texts from Ancient Greece to contemporary society. Students will discuss works from Plato, Goethe, Freud, Foucault, Irigaray, Duras. Meets LAC outcomes: AIB4, HCC1. 3 crs.
