MADNESS, MUSIC, AND IMAGINATION IN
WORLD LITERATURE
SAME AS ASIAN 207 A AND C LIT 251 A
Syllabus Description (from Canvas):
Why is madness such a compelling topic? How is madness different from sanity? What does it mean to be ‘out of our senses’? How is creativity a form of madness? How does music complicate, compromise, substantiate “artistic endeavours”?
Through various works of culture and criticism round the world, we will address the history, culture, and theory of madness, to engage in the creative, often chaotic process of ‘thinking outside of the box’ of accepted cultural, social, and ethical norms of thought and behaviour.
Catalog Description:
