3 credits This course is designed to explore how the Hollywood film industry has represented American political discourse. Examining issues such as electoral politics, social movements, economic histories, immigration, labor and class struggle, race and gender, war and political scandal, students will gain a critical understanding of how ideology is represented cinematically. The economic conditions of the Hollywood film industry often have circumscribed its production of politically themed movies sustaining its concern with mass appeal. This course will challenge students to investigate beyond the surface level understanding of political films to search for their often hegemonic and ideological meaning.

Prerequisite: ENG 102 or permission of Honors Coordinator. 3 credits This seminar will include a critical reading of five novels from the early 20th Century canon: Henry James' The Awkward Age, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl; and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. These five masterworks are subtle and demanding; they include what Henry James referred to as "patches of ambiguity and the abysses of shadow that constitute the material of [the literary} trade." This seminar will be an attempt to deal with some of the issues of modernity as expressed in novels of manners, morals, and fine distinctions in human ethics and philosophy. We will also develop a greater appreciation of the miraculous dexterity of these great masters of English prose.
