Subject:

Description:

In this course students will sharpen their understanding of satire in its diverse forms of expression. They will analyze and respond to written and pictoral "texts" ranging from the biting satires of Jonathon Swift to the witty parodies of Mark Russell, from eighteenth century English engravings to twentieth century American political cartoons. Students will compare the "matter" and "manner" of selected works and become aware of the historical and social context in analyzing a work of satire. Although the focus of the course will be on art and literature, some illustrative examples of satire will be drawn from music and film, as well. This course will utilize a lecture/discussion format and include presentations by two guest speakers. Students will participate in a variety of large and small group projects. Readings will include short selections from some twentieth-century works of criticism which present useful perspectives on satire. Class lectures will be "illustrated" with slides and audio/video recordings.
