描述
This multidisciplinary course explores the meaning of foreign travel, the search for 身份 and self-awareness through exile, and literary and filmic expressions of journey and coming of age through travel and cultural displacement. 在国外教, you will analyze literary and visual texts, comparing them to your own experience and expressions of overseas travel. 作为在国外的外国人, you will reflect upon the lives and complex meaning of travelers, 流亡者, foreigners and tourists. Using a theoretical and comparative approach to contemporary literary and filmic expressions of travelers, you reflect upon cultural difference, 身份, and the role journey plays in cultural understanding, both of home and host peoples.
Organized around the theme of travel as search for 身份 and cultural understanding, the course begins by building a historical and conceptual framework from Homer to Woody Allen that situates travel writing within Western literary and cultural traditions. The course then addresses specific 英语 and American travel writing, using contemporary literary and filmic representations of how travelers and foreigners develop distinct strategies for managing cultural conflict while struggling to experience and learn from the lives of foreign others. In class you will compare these strategies to those you adopt yourself while living and studying in the foreign city abroad.
最后, you will compare and contrast your own experience and evolving image of contemporary 西班牙 with the diverse images presented by travelers and 流亡者 in their respective literary and visual texts. You will find inspiration in the eclectic texts of authors such as Cervantes, E.M福斯特, 马克吐温, 乔治·奥威尔, 欧内斯特·海明威, and Jack Kerouac as well as in contemporary films about adventurous travelers and tourists such as Darjeeling Express, 维姬, 克里斯蒂娜-巴塞罗那, 还是迷失在翻译中.
在整个课程中, you will reflect upon and write about your own travels, the challenges you encounter discovering Spanish society, the strategies you devise to overcome them, and the cultural 身份 and awareness you develop as a foreigner.
