LITR210

This class will examine the treatment of narrative as practiced in both literature and film. Students will explore the relationship between the two forms and consider which narrative devices and techniques are common to both and which are exclusive to one form or the other. Our literary and cinematic texts are produced across the world, across eras, and across genres. Students develop critical skills enabling necessary to explore,both literary and cinematic narratives. The specific topic of this course (which genres, regions, periods, etc. covered) as well as which readings and screenings will be considered will change from semester-to-semester, as well as from instructor-to-instructor.
