Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1247 The course is in English. It examines the ban on books, films, and art in a global context through a study of the historical and sociopolitical conditions of censorship practices. This semester our focus will be on Germany and China. The course raises such questions as how censorship is used to fortify political power, how it is practiced locally and globally, who censors, what are the categories of censorship, how censorship succeeds and fails, and how writers and artists write and create against and within censorship. The last question leads to an analysis of rhetorical strategies that writers and artists employ to translate the expression of repression, trauma, and torture into idioms of resistance. Current focus: Censorship in Germany and China. German majors/minors can get German Studies credit. Prerequisite: EMLY B001 or a 100-level intensive writing course. Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC); Haverford: Social Science (SO) ( ) |
