This course uses texts with themes of disguise, passing, and deceit to help students interrogate notions of the "self" and "identity." Through both primary and secondary sources, the class asks students to interrogate the way writers and historical agents defined themselves according to various social categories: religion, class, gender, and race. How did people and characters who challenged those boundaries reveal the importance of those categories to their contemporary worlds? In their successes and failures to reinvent themselves, the individuals reveal the flexibilities and fixities in their societies. And that people were fooled by them tells us about their historical contexts as well. Students will engage with a variety of texts that move chronologically from the sixteenth century through the twentieth century and geographically from Illyria to New York City. Through close readings, we'll try to uncover how texts deal directly and indirectly with social norms and cultural panic through the portrayal of deceit and disguise. Cross-listed as CORE 100.

In this class, we will watch and discuss films important both to the portrayal of women onscreen and to the development of women as writers and directors. These portrayals, some positive, some negative, some more complicated than one word can express, can influence the ways in which we see ourselves and the ways in which we understand issues such as gender, power, and sex. In a more general way, this class will explore how students go about "reading" a film. Through study of selected films and readings, lectures, class discussion, and written assignments, you will learn to recognize and analyze film language (editing, cinematography, sound, special effects, etc.) and will be introduced to some major concepts in film studies. By the end of the course, students will have an understanding of the many ways films produce meaning and should be able to demonstrate your command of these basic skills to critically interpret those meanings through deep analysis. Films will include: Thelma and Louise (1991), Norma Rae (1979), A League of Their Own (1993), Elizabeth (1998), The Color Purple (1985), An Angel at My Table (1989), Lion In Winter (1968), and Boys Don't Cry (2000). Cross-listed as ARTS 135FW
