Description:
This course focuses on the search for self-knowledge and the quest to unravel the mystery of identity in poetry, fiction, and film. We focus on Walt Whitman's groundbreaking expression of self in Song of Myself, and then grapple with questions of being and knowing in Paul Auster's City of Glass. Finally, we consider how contemporary films about becoming one's self-like Persepolis and Memento-represent complex questions of identity.
