| Description: | Cross List: REL-295 = HUM-295 = ART-210-02 This course examines different representations of the Holocaust in theology, literature, film, and art. Some of the questions and concerns the course raises includes: What are the limits to representing suffering and trauma? Is it legitimate to write poetry and fiction, paint and compose music, film documentaries and TV comedies, draw cartoons and graphic novels, publish photographs and erect monuments about such horrific events? How does visual media facilitate the raising of profound moral and religious questions about the Holocaust and the violence associated with it? What do representations of the atrocities of the Holocaust convey to later generations of Jews and Christians? Can Holocaust experiences be understood and interpreted in religious terms? This interdisciplinary course examines the creative and material work of historians, theologians, novelists, poets, graphic novelists, painters, film makers, composers, photographers, and museum architects as they grapple with these questions in response to the Holocaust. One credit. No prerequisites. This course will satisfy the Diversity Requirement for the PPE major. |
