Butler University Schedule of Classes for Fall 2013 Core Curriculum ...

Homer lays the groundwork for an examination of the epic heroes, with his very personal attention to the lives and characters of his chosen heroes in the
Iliad and the Odyssey. Central to our concern in this seminar will be our own examination of these poems especially with an eye towards understanding what
keeps generation after generation not only reading these classic epics but reworking the heroic form as well as the heroic themes. Besides our reading the
Homeric epics, we will study the modern applications of them in film, such as Troy, Ulysses, and O Brother Where Art Thou? Semester two will look at
further reworking of the Homeric model, with Roman works such as Virgil's Aeneid and Ovid's Metamorphoses, among others. This is a two-semester course.
Students who enroll in this topic in the fall are expected to enroll in this topic in the spring. Semester one is a prerequisite for semester two.

Shakespeare: The best playwright in the world "either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical,
tragical-comical-historical-pastoral" - This is the only man! Ben Johnson says of Shakespeare that "he was not of an age but for all time", and that will
serve as our entry into an examination of one particular artist, William Shakespeare. Within the artificial world of his dramas he will supply the very real
values, morals, and expectations of his time as they compete with the individual's experience and his or her desire. In this course, in addition to reading
some of the most famous of his plays, students will also come to an understanding of what it means to be a man or woman in this historic culture. We may
also be able to answer for ourselves whether or not Johnson is right - that Shakespeare is indeed for our time too, that the concerns of Shakespeare's day
do indeed translate to our own. This is a two-semester course.

This is a two-semester course. Students who enroll in this topic in the fall are expected to enroll in this topic in the spring. Semester one is a
prerequisite for semester two.Like rock and roll itself, this class will be a hybrid, an extended jam of threads and themes as we map the ideological
geography of youth culture through literature, music, film, and art. This is not a history of rock and roll class, but rather an ongoing inquiry into the
collective expressions of rebellion, coming-of-age, and generational battles. Semester one will examine the rise of youth culture through 1975.
