Studies
This
course
provides
an
introduction
to
transcultural
views
of
literature,
film,
language,
and
literature
and
media
culture.
The
course
focus is
on
storyworlds,
defined
as
an
ever
expanding
and
changing
fictional
realm
in
which
stories
are
adapted
and
agglomerate
over
time
in
different
media,
cultures,
and
languages
around
a
set
of
well-known
and
familiar
central
events,
characters,
images,
and
themes.
One
example
of
a
storyworld
is
the
King
Arthur
tradition,
whose
stories
have
been
going
strong
for
a
thousand
years.
Students
will
focus
their
inquiry
on
a
storyworld
of
their
choice
within
a
transcultural
context. Taught

Ann
