ENGL 131 - Shakespeare, Culture & Society

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

English

Description:

We will examine Shakespeare's plays and poems as cultural artifacts of English society, its customs, traditions, structures, and institutions. Using theorists such as Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Émile Durkheim, and Clifford Geertz, students will investigate how the performance of Shakespeare's works function in a given society, from 17th century England to modern films. Our perspective will consider the role of Shakespeare's art in relation to issues of social order and of social change. (WCore: WCSBS, WE)
