The early 20th century was a rich period of innovation in art and literature. Thanks to the efforts of artists and writers including Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Ernest Hemingway and D.H.

HNRS 3203 - Utopian and Dystopian Fiction
Since the publication of Thomas More’s celebrated yet purposefully ambiguous Utopia, the idea of a utopia conjures up two distinct meanings: first, as an imaginative idealized community in which humankind, having seemingly attained sufficient mastery or even perfection, seeks to create a rational, equitable and just society offering genuine human fellowship and solidarity; and second, as an utter impossibility, as “no place,”—for, as the ideal has yet to be realized, perhaps proving inherently unattainable, utopia remains ”nowhere.” Over time, these twin meanings of utopia purposefully, ironically and artistically joined in More’s work, separate into two distinct and immensely popular traditions: the utopian novel, which culminates in 19th century works such as Bellamy’s Looking Backward and Gilman’s Herland; and the dystopian novel, prefigured by Dostoevsky and most famously expressed in the 20th century novels by Zamyatin, Huxley, and Orwell. The course seeks to foster critical thinking, reading and interpretive skills through short formal response essays, a creative writing response, group presentations, and the completion of a final formal essay. Students will find opportunities to improve in the conception, writing, and revision of their essays. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 2: Exploration and Discovery – Societies and Cultures Category.

HNRS 3204 - Postmodern Dystopias: Fiction and Film from 1970 to the Present
Although few would question that our contemporary world should be termed “postmodern,” among scholars, there is no consensus on the precise meaning of the term. Two crucial historical events arising from World War II, the birth of computers and the atom bomb, signal a precipitous break from the modern, and have radically transformed all facets of contemporary political, social and personal life. Yet while our global world and engagement has been generally embraced and integrated within our contemporary existence, often celebrating the “singularity” of technology and everyday life in an age of “spiritual machines” when “computers exceed human intelligence” as Ray Kurzweil puts it, a decidedly dystopic imagination dominates the arts of films and literature. This course, through the exploration of fiction from the past half century, aims to explore the meaning, significance and implications of postmodern life and culture. Students will develop a critical awareness of postmodernity through lectures, class discussion, and student presentations on authors such as Jameson, Lyotard, Baudrillard, and others. Students will write short response essays and a creative response, give a presentation, and write a final formal essay. Time permitting, we will explore two films through a postmodern lens. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 2: Exploration and Discovery – Societies and Cultures Category.

HNRS 3302 - Civil Rights & Jazz, 1970-75
“Civil Rights and Jazz,” the second course in a trilogy of studies in twentieth century American literature, music, and culture, picks up where its predecessor, “Jazz, Blues, and the Harlem Renaissance, 1920-1950,” leaves off. While this earlier course is not considered a prerequisite for the present class, many of the musicians and authors overlap and several continuing themes will be further developed. “Civil Rights and Jazz” is more deeply grounded in our present historical moment by the conviction that our “culture wars” of the past half century, as well as the frequent analogies drawn between the era of Vietnam and Civil Rights with our present globalized “age of terror” (this is reflected in our current political climate and in the #BlackLivesMatter movement) offer powerful evidence that the past is still present: we are still coming to terms with the unfinished business of the Civil War, the failure of Reconstruction. The Black Codes that led into the Jim Crow Laws and the legacy of the 60’s. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 2: Exploration and Discovery – Artistic Theory and Practice Category.
