FYS 1213 - European Visions of America

Credits: 4.0
This seminar focuses on reflextns of European travelers across the centers about their journeys to the New World, particularly the U.S.  An analysis of a variety of European ways of seeing America, its people and its culture will help us understand how the idea of America was shaped, refined, and eventually challenged between the 18th century and the present.  Discussions will draw on travel narratives, art, cinema, comics and contemporary novels as a source of observation, interpretation and myth-making that continue to impact contemporary discourses about the land of unlimited opportunities and otherness.
