Humanities

This course is an introduction to the multidisciplinary study of American culture.  We will examine both the problematics and the fruits of a national culture.  Weighed down with the authority of custom, a national culture imposes a sense of obligation to all who belong to a society, but it affects groups and individuals differently, according to the variables of gender, race and class.  This course will compare and contrast visions of American culture during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  We will study the works of Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Georgia O’Keeffe, Ralph Ellison, F. Scott Fitzgerald among others. On-line registration
