EXPOS 20.102 - The Voice of Authority

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

What is authority? First, we will read the controversial One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, closely investigating that explosive novel's complex treatment of authority. Next, we will read and meet two "at-risk" writers, comparing and analyzing effects and expressions of artistic challenges to governmental and cultural authority. Finally, our ongoing inquiry into authority will shape research topics as we investigate issues arising out of authority's relation to education, rhetorical strategy, politics, human rights, and art.
