NELC 180 - Narrative Across Cultures

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Arts & Letters Sector. All Classes. Allen. The purpose of this course is to present a variety of narrative genres and to discuss and illustrate the modes whereby they can be analyzed. We will be looking at some shorter types of narrative: short story, the novella, and the fable, but also some extracts from longer works such as autobiography. While some of the works will be from the Anglo-American tradition, a large number of others will be from European and non-Western cultural traditions and from earlier time periods. The course will thus offer ample opportunity for the exploration of the translation of cultural values in a comparative perspective.
