5415307 Literature in Modern Society 3.0 3
Description Many of the greatest works of literature have been adapted into films, making it easier for ESL students to experience those culturally significant stories. Other literary works and writers have inspired entirely new and different pop cultural creations (film, tv, music, dance, video games). This course examines how literature and pop culture have combined in interesting and culturally significant ways. The course demonstrates how pop culture can help students become more familiar with great works of literature, and how knowledge of literature can help students better appreciate and better understand the popular culture which they enjoy.
