301 American Stds: Is/Tutorial: Themes In The American Popular Arts (4)
This course uses the popular arts as an entree to the examination of
stereotypes in American life, to a better understanding of challenges to
tradition, and to assessing the consequences of conflict that have resulted
from cultural pluralism. This is a modified independent study course. Students
are exposed to some of America's best-known literature, films and music.
Instructional audio tapes and traditional literature about American Culture
show the relevance of examples of popular art to broader themes. Prerequisites:
Concurrent enrollment in American Studies 302P and 303PW. Offered: On demand.
