CNX 169 - Exploring WWI: Lit, Art, Film
Description
A century ago, World War I transformed the world in dramatic and unprecedented ways. In this course, you will learn about the origins and chronology of the war and the technological innovations that emerged from it. You will explore the war’s psychological and embodied effects, as well as artistic and cultural attempts to acknowledge, represent and memorialize its devastation. You will read history, fiction and memoir; you will examine propaganda posters, photographs and films; and you will analyze material evidence of World War I’s destruction and commemoration. We will take advantage of our location in Bath, England to visit the Imperial War Museum in London and local World War I memorials, and we will take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11, the day on which World War I ended in 1918. This course will lay a foundation for the rest of your career at F&M. Through our work, you will improve your critical reading and discussion skills, practice writing in various genres, and develop your information literacy through a research project focused on a material object related to the war.
