ENG 217 - Myths, Folktales & Legends

Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

English

Description:

In this folklore and folklife studies course, students will be exposed to familiar cultural texts (popular fairytales and legends), as well as texts that will seem exotic because they are produced in cultures removed from our own. In both cases, students will encounter narratives that are startlingly different and yet eerily the same-narratives that suggest there are common cultural characteristics that bind us to our fellow man. Looking for these connections-and understanding them in their specific social, political, and historical contexts-will enlighten students to the diversity that exists within the human family around the globe and throughout time. 3 credits
