11002141

Students will study Western and Eastern storytelling traditions by reading classic tales such as Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Andersen, Arabian Nights, Journey to the West, and Japanese folk tales. In addition, students will write their own fictional and non-fictional stories, and share them with classmates both orally and in written form. This course has two primary goals. First, students will study well-known classical tales from world traditions. Second, they will learn from these stories by writing their own stories, and in turn understand storytelling through personal exploration. In addition, students will be urged to consider deeper questions. For example, how do these stories make up national, cultural, and individual identities? How can someone from one place and time relate to the differing views of someone from another place or time? How do stories differ when transmitted orally instead of textually? How do stories change as they are reread and rewritten in new generations and contexts? What are the effects of communal authorship? How are stories used for moral education? Stories only continue to survive by being retold and rewritten in each successive generation. Therefore, students will be expected to engage these stories personally, within the context of the communities they live in. The final project will be to write an original story or modern version of an old story, and to tell the story publicly. This homework expectation in this class will be relatively heavy in reading and writing. Only students prepared to read, write, and work individually and with others should take this class. Attendance is also required.
