HUMT 1850 - World Literature and Culture

5 credit hours
After studying the examples evidenced by Indigenous Peoples and the cultural norms of contemporary western culture in the previous courses, students encounter works from around the globe. While the particular selections will vary, this course examines cultural productions from regions other than western Europe and North America. It introduces students to religion, society, philosophy, art, or philosophy in chosen civilizations. Rather than creating a comprehensive world history, the course offers students deep engagement with a short selection of materials. The course situates these materials in their original contexts and examines the implications of translation.
