CEEL 0906 - Writing Transformation: Metamorphosis in Literature and Myth

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Beginning with Ovid's tales of Metamorphoses, we will explore the way that authors throughout history have depicted transformation. Students will have the opportunity to explore subject matter not commonly taught in high school, and to approach human history and culture from a different point of view. Stories of metamorphoses help us address broad concepts such as identity, gender, and social power--concepts that can be applied to nearly any discipline in the humanities, including literature, religion, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies.
