| LITR 295 - TOPICS IN POPULAR LITERATURE |
|
This course offers a study in less traditional literary forms and themes that reflect popular culture and tastes. The course will consider various popular literary forms: such as cult books, extended & on-going fictional series, fanfiction, transient popular genres. Texts will be read within a broader cultural context. Focus may be on a particular genre (i.e., “Chick Lit”; war literature; horror fiction) or an era (i.e., “the sixties”). Students will grapple with aesthetic and cultural judgments on popular forms and explore issues of high and low culture. May be repeated for credit when topics vary. Description for Spring 2024
