Course Description:
How many personal identities do you have? Lover, friend, brother or sister, gambler, worshipper, skeptic, liar, outsider, psychotic-we may play all of these parts simultaneously or at different times in our lives. Through discussion of literary texts, with some forays into religion and psychology, we will consider the ways in which our multiple identities shape our self-image as well as how others see us. Readings will include fiction from Dostoevsky to Alice Walker, as well as the existential philosophy of Victor Frankl, the psychological theories of Freud, and selections from the Bible. |
