Narratives -- stories -- are among civilizations earliest and most compelling creative forms. They allow us to feel with others, explore the human condition, and expand our understanding of man's relationship to man and to the larger society and culture to which he/she belongs. This course is based on an interdisciplinary approach to communications, theater, writing, film, etc.; and in many instances, we compare the use of the same thematic materials presented through various artistic "languages" (cinema, novel, short story, play, and screenplay).
