Desc: | SELF AND OTHER: Perception, Idealization and Connection. We study the dramatic and lyrical worlds of human interaction. Beginning with the complex courtly rituals of the age of Versailles, we will examine the themes of connection and estrangement in the plays of Corneille, Molière, and Racine. Focusing on how identities are produced through intricate negotiations with other people, we will examine the self-delusion and alienation inherent in the existentialist theater of Sartre. The class will then enter the poetic universes of Ronsard, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and the Surrealists. Students will experience the poets' exalted idealizations of the beloved along with their lucid examination of the boundaries between self and other. |
