GERM 42.08 Mind Reading: Media and the Brain (in English)

How do we know what someone else is thinking or feeling? How do we conceptualize how our own minds operate? We will look at representations of the mind and brain in a range of media, studying literary texts that deal thematically with physiognomic or psychoanalytic thought; innovations in narrative form that allowed for more direct access to the psyche; visual and filmic representations of the mind and brain; and recent empirical studies of literature. In English.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
