In this third module, and second half of the analysis portion of the class, we will examine the different ways that art, film, religion, letter-writing and philosophy communicate shared ideas and experiences in unique social and cultural contexts. This module aims to challenge you to continue to practice both critical and interpretive practices in preparation for your final project.
Module Objectives
- apply analytical frameworks to selected expressive artifacts
- identify different methods and techniques used to communicate shared and unique experiences in the humanities
- analyze a wide variety of creative mediums within the humanities to interpret the shared experiences of being human through time and across cultures
