This course will examine how literature--memoirs, short stories, poetry, cinema, and novels from Africa, the Balkans, and Europe--responded to the Holocaust and other acts of 20th century genocide. The primary focus is how does creative literature and films--in contrast to documentary writing--portray the most horrific and recurrent development of the last century--genocide. Given the specific definition of genocide that follows, these writings are unique and they raise uniquely literary questions. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Literature Department Course Attributes: GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, MJ-INTL-Area Studies-Europe, MJ-LITR-Int'l Litr Selection

This course is designed to ground students in the historical foundations of feminist theory and to introduce them to some of the wide range of current feminist thinking. As no course can claim to cover all of feminist thought in a single semester, priority has been given here to texts and concepts considered truly fundamental in the development of a feminist criticism. In order to demonstrate how the concerns of feminist thinkers carry over into fictional writing, and to show how feminist theory can be a useful tool for analyzing the understanding literary texts, we have also included here a few landmark works by women writers. Both the literary texts and the theoretical pieces selected should also serve to acquaint students with writers from around the world. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Literature Department Course Attributes: GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, MJ-LITR-Int'l Litr Selection
