Course Description:
What is to be a Don Quixote? What does this iconic knight tell us about today's world? A long time ago, Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes wrote one of the greatest masterpieces ever written: Don Quixote. The so-called (and voted) best novel of all times gave birth to an epic character that has influenced and trespassed cultures, languages, and traditions. Don Quixote profoundly connects with the creativity and dreams of readers, filmmakers, and artists worldwide. This seminar focuses on discovering this unique character and its influence on our time in artifacts such as films, graphic novels, and stories. Students will be immersed in Don Quixote's world and journey through in-class discussions, acting exercises, readings, creative writing, and a variety of ingenious activities. |
