  • EXPOS 20.081: Tales of Murder

    4.00 Credits
    Harvard University

    The Sixth Commandment is succinct: "Thou shalt not commit murder." And yet descriptions of murder feature prominently in Western literature and culture. Why are we so engaged by the telling of these grim tales, and what is at stake in their being told? By analyzing the challenges of shaping coherent narratives around incomprehensible acts, this course examines the ethical and aesthetic implications of mediating a phenomenon as elusive, and terrifyingly actual, as murder.

  • EXPOS 20.083: Poetry at the Limit

    4.00 Credits
    Harvard University

    Poetry has long been a space for solace and contemplation, particularly throughout the wars of the twentieth century. How has poetry changed in the past 100 years as it attempts to apprehend atrocity, genocide and total war? We read poems that describe ruthless violence, that respond to works of art, and that address contemporary refugee camps and HIV hospices. In such forlorn environments, can poetry remain "poetic"?
