Description:

3.00 credits LVA2411 Literary Culture of the U.S. (Intermediate Liberal Arts) This is an "American literature" course informed by recurring questions: what do we mean when we say "literature" How is the concept "American" defined and problematized How do we construct such a slippery term as "culture" The course assumes a plurality of cultures, not a single, hegemonic "American" culture, and the cultures in question are limited geographically, to the territory of what is now the United States. Texts range from the 17th to the 20th century, are organized by topic rather than by chronology, and form a narrative that includes "classic" as well as recently discovered voices.
