| Abstract: | Why do human beings produce and consume narratives as prolifically as they do?
How are stories constructed? How do readers approach and consume them? What
is the role of narrative in culture? This course primarily studies prose
fiction, but it may include drama, narrative poetry, nonfiction, and film, as
well as criticism and theory of narrative. It may be offered as a general
introduction to narrative, or it may focus on a particular topic, such as Life
Writing, Popular Literature, Myths and Folktales, or the Contemporary Novel. |
