ENGL 1030 - Literary Studies Abroad

Institution:

Nashville State Community College

Subject:

English

Description:

In Literary Studies Abroad, students explore the literary and cultural legacy of selected foreign destinations (which change yearly) through reading, discussion, research, and writing. Students will explore the fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and film associated with the foreign destinations, as well as the societal, cultural, philosophical, and historical forces that influenced their development. Although the course may complement the annual literary study abroad tour available to all students each summer (a tour with destinations paralleling the unique course content specific to that semester, respectively), the course is designed to stand alone as an enjoyable exploration of storied landscapes for the armchair traveler, as well. As can be observed from the layout of the modules, topics, and their respective assignments, the course is itself designed as a kind of journey through our featured destination¿intended both to inspire the armchair traveler and to prepare the physical traveler who will eventually visit that region or culture.
