AMERICAN CULTURE STUDIES (U89)  (Dept. Info)Continuing & Professional Studies  (Policies)
U89 AMCS 463Eve to Ifemelu: Gender and the Fall(s)3.0 Units
Description:"Gender and The Fall(s)" will explore perceptions of gender, "virtue," and fallenness throughout history and in different cultural contexts by focusing on a broad range of literary representations of women and men. We will read a series of works from multiple genres and cultures in order to examine how each text constructs, interrogates, contests, and/or promotes the concept of fallenness. We will be particularly interested in the interactions and constructions of fallenness and gender roles. How do these authors construct, envision, and re-envision the (their) fall(s) over time, and how are historical gender roles reified or revised by these authors? We will review scholarly texts from an array of disciplines such as Psychology, English, History, Autobiography, Sociology, and Political Science in order to gain a multidisciplinary, academic framework in which to understand these falls. The course will also include other interdisciplinary elements such as film and art. Time will be dedicated to analyses of samples from various film versions of select works, focusing on these films' own twentieth- and twenty-first-century perceptions of the texts. We will also examine famous pieces of art that seek to illustrate and interpret the concept of fallenness. This course is fully online. Only University College students receive credit for online courses.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
