EN 205 (1) Writing the Self: Autobiography: Literature of Illness and Healing (60486)
Online
6/4/12 - 7/13/12
ASAP I Online Course
What is it like to suffer a stroke, contend with cancer, endure heart failure or live as a cripple? While biomedicine may diagnose and treat such conditions, it is to literature that we turn to hear the anguished voice of the wounded storyteller. Using autobiographical readings in prose and poetry as well as films with medical themes, this course explores the emotional and spiritual implications of illness in the lives of the afflicted and the healers who minister to them. Along the way we address such questions as: Is there an ideal doctor-patient relationship? How can patients reclaim a voice beyond the reductive medical report? How do medical caregivers cope? Does illness change the way we think about life, about what it means to be human, about what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose? Requirements include 1) discussion board postings of critical responses to readings 2) research paper on a topic/theme of choice and 3) final exam. Meets the U.S. diversity requirement.(Prerequisites: EN 11, EN 12, 100-level literature course required.)
