ITALIC 93: Immersion in the Arts: Living in Culture, Challenging

ITALIC 93, Challenging. Challenging is the third part of ITALIC, a year-long course that explores the ways people make and encounter a wide range of artworks, including music and performance, the visual arts, literature, film and other media. How does an artwork influence or challenge the society in which (and outside of which) it is situated? How does the structure of a society determine and challenge the qualities of its art? How do artworks challenge their medium and material? Where does an artwork end? Where is the border between life and art? The quarter, and the year, culminates in a three-day field trip to Los Angeles where we will attend a performance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall, and visit art and artists around the city.

LIFE 124: Counterstory in Literature and Education (CSRE 141E, EDUC 141, EDUC 341)

Counterstory is a method developed in critical legal studies that emerges out of the broad "narrative turn" in the humanities and social science. This course explores the value of this turn, especially for marginalized communities, and the use of counterstory as analysis, critique, and self-expression. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we examine counterstory as it has developed in critical theory, critical pedagogy, and critical race theory literatures, and explore it as a framework for liberation, cultural work, and spiritual exploration.
