Course Description:
This first-year seminar explores the poetry of social movements. Students will consider how American Studies scholars analyze culture as a social force, an alternative archive of change over time, and a site of conflict over the meaning and memory of particular historical moments. Through close readings and discussion, students will develop their own frameworks for interpreting the poetry of social movements in specific contexts. Along with our core texts we will also engage with primary texts including poetry, music, film, magazines, and newspapers. By the end of the semester students will demonstrate a critical understanding of cultures of social justice movements, develop critical thinking and writings skills, and apply theoretical tools to interpret the materials that form the basis of our case studies. |
