HISTORY 254 - Interpreting the american west

Institution:

Rhodes College

Subject:

Description:

Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Humanities, F3, F5. A collaboration between History and Theater, this course will immerse students in primary historical research and in the techniques of scripting, staging, and acting. Students will explore and critique some of the most mythologized elements of the American West: the fur trade, the Overland Trail, and the cattle drives. Using revisionist perspectives, students will "decolonize" western history, and then, using archival sources, students will create a performance piece. All students will engage in both historical analysis and dramatic interpretation.
