HUM-399 GENRE STUDIES SPECIAL TOPICS

Courses taught under this category focus on what contemporary theorists tend to call "family resemblances" or what psycholinguists would describe in terms of "prototypicality." The courses examine texts as familiar, codified, conventionalized and formulaic structures located within specific cultural contexts and, as such, influence and reinforce social conditions.
