USSY 266 - Writing Difference

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

How does one attempt to understand people who seem radically different from oneself? This is a question that fiction writers and anthropologists grapple with in different ways. In this course, we will examine how difference is performed in a variety of texts ranging from ethnographic studies to science fiction. By juxtaposing fiction with ethnography, we will examine the claims that different texts make to represent reality and the "Other." We will also explore how these claims are linked to writing styles. Prereq: Passing letter grade in a 100 level first year seminar in USFS, FSSY, FSCC, FSNA, FSSO or FSCS. Prereq or Coreq: FSTS 100
