CLASS 1170 - ANTIQUITY NOW

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In this course, we'll consider modern receptions of ancient literature that reinterpret ancient themes and characters to critique, represent, or reimagine ancient and/or modern cultural and personal identities. We'll delve deeply into issues of race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship (among others) in the ancient and modern worlds to answer the question: why do artists still return to the ancient past to explore modern-day identity? We will also work on developing writing and analytical skills, culminating in an independent research project that will demonstrate your ability to perform close reading and apply comparative analysis to a wide variety of ancient and modern material.
