FS 127 - Storytelling

This course will explore storytelling as a literary art, as a cultural and familial practice, and as a form of historical documentation. We will consider how stories shape perceptions (of nature, of nation, of community, of family, of self), and vice versa. Examples will include diverse modes of engaging others, preserving traditions, defining traditions, and communicating within and across cultures and subcultures through narrative. Students will also examine the integrations of storytelling practice in and across virtually all academic and professional fields.
