Communication
Course Description:
The course is designed to explore how people talk to each other and the meanings we convey or take in. We look at communication and at some ways messages are encoded in verbal and nonverbal language, writing, music and sound, image, film, clothing, accessories, body art, etc. Furthermore, we look at how new technologies are profoundly changing the way we communicate in a global society. To do so, we will examine a wide range of recent case studies from around the globe. Students will examine various theoretical ideas and apply analytic strategies to develop a better understanding of the associated relationships among language, society, and power. To be specific, students will explore the ways language functions, how it influences thought and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class and gender. They will examine how representations of people and their language matter and how identity is constructed and performed. Finally, they will examine the creative potential of language in the media, politics, and everyday talk.

Theater Arts
Course Description:
An introductory course of modern American drama, this class surveys major dramatists of Twentieth century America. This semester, we will be focusing on the dramatic interplay of deception, self-deception, and belief, as well as the perennial problem of the relation between the individual and society and home and the family as the problematic site of American utopia/dystopia. Readings will feature the conflict of veracity and mendacity at the level of relationships (professional, familial, and romantic) as well as the level of relations (social, cultural, and political). They will also show how questions about truth-telling underlie modern American drama itself, as provocations to a never-to-be-finished conversation about "realism," "naturalism," and "theatricality," In the end, we will be asking ourselves whether tragedy is still a viable dramatic form for our times. Major themes to be dealt with include the myth and truth of the American Dream, the idea of business as a way of life and an ethical code, family as the site of failed love, and self-fashioning as survival. In the course of the semester, we will focus particularly on four plays: Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, and Edward Albee’s The Goat. In addition to usual textual analyses of these texts, we will practice play-reading and acting in selected scenes of each play.
