Following the lineage of “radical” Modernism from its roots in the experimentations of Stein and Williams in the early 20th century to its mid-century manifestations in Oppen and Creeley to later 20th century figures such as Michael Palmer and Bernadette Mayer will allow students to see the continuity of American poetic expression in its cultural and aesthetic contexts. The goals of the course are an increased conceptual and discursive understanding of one of the main currents in American literary and cultural life. |

This seminar explores the experience of evil symbolized as defilement, sin and guilt following Paul Ricoeur's analysis in The Symbolism of Evil. Class discussions focus on creation myths and the idea of a creator god, the role of faith and reason in religious self-understanding, the relationship between the individual and the community as well as on the cultural construction of gender and values. Selected readings from religious and philosophical texts, literary works and films provide diverse resources for thoughtful reflection on the experience of transgression, suffering and the possibility of forgiveness and redemption. An analysis of the phenomenology evil in its symbolic forms provides the foundation for reflection on the symbols and myths of evil that inform the vision of writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Toni Morrison and Margaret Atwood. |

For example, the course will look at reports on the future drawn from a broad range of disciplines and views, including political, economic, social, scientific, and artistic sensibilities. The purpose of these reviews is to identify and examine paradigms of the future, isolate what factors have identified or used as driving forces for forecasting the future, and explore methods used in developing future projections. Specific current models and projections of the future for contemporary American and global society will be examined. With this background, the course will develop a framework for critically assessing futures projections. Finally, the different principles and techniques in the field of futures studies and research will be reviewed. |
