UTLIT 203 - Cultural Responses to Environmental Crisis

Institution:

The University of Tampa

Subject:

Description:

This course explores how ecological crisis shapes cultural expression and the extent to which the arts can intervene in environmental issues. Given the global nature of catastrophic climate change, what meaningful ways of thinking, making and acting are available to us on an individual and local level? How do the humanities offer tools for such action? To answer these and other pressing questions, we will analyze artistic works (which may include literature, visual art, performance or film) from cultures within and outside of the United States. We will then put these works into conversation with theoretical texts in the humanities.
