Prerequisite: ENG102 or permission of instructor. 3 credits Traditionally, autobiography has been viewed as a direct and true reflection of a person's life. This course is designed around current theories that question that view and posit, instead, autobiography as a construction of self. Through a focus on a diverse cross-section of 20th Century Women's Autobiographies, we will analyze how gender, sexuality, race, class, and location affect what is written and how it is written. We will also ask how are these women's identities shaped by their placement in the text and in society? How do these women use their writing to modify or strengthen the ways that society has positioned them?

Prerequisite: ENG 102. 3 credits formerly EN 210 Film and Literature This interdisciplinary course explores what happens when works of literature, such as novels and plays, are adapted for the screen. In analyzing specific literature-to-film adaptation, class discussions focus upon elements common to both art forms (e.g., plot, character, point of view, symbolism and irony) as well as elements exclusive to each (e.g., visual images and music in film). Such discussions are intended to lead students to a deeper understanding of each art form and the interrelationships between them.
