Description

This comparative literature course focuses on dreams and visions as a cultural phenomenon and introduces students to key authors, genres, and movements in world media history. Adopting a comparative approach, students are led to explore exemplary works from French, German, Italian, and other European literature as cultural practices that shape our understanding of society, history, and culture.  Students will investigate the concept of dreams from antiquity to modern psychoanalysis, discuss prophetic dreams and nightmares, and reflect on the connection between dreams and society, exploring French, Italian, German, and other global media cultures.

This course is closed for registration.
