| ENG 259 - African American Poetry, Plays and Film |
|
College-level reading and writing skills (a passing grade in WR 115 or placement into WR 121) are strongly recommended for success in this course.
This course creates several perspectives through which to explore the African American experience: Drama, Poetry, and Film Studies. This course is designed to allow students to utilize textual materials, dramatic presentations, films, and documentaries to chart, research, examine, and evaluate the interconnectedness of black plays, poetry, and film representations. Students will have at their disposal a variety of resources to aid them in understanding the themes, techniques, and critical theories underlying the foundations that black playwrights, poets, film historians, and filmmakers/actors have developed and refined over the years. This course will guide students to a clearer yet more comprehensive understanding of the collaborative aspect of these artistic expressions in the African American world and their continuing influence on the larger American experience in Arts and Letters.
