ENG 304 - The Evolution of Narrative (3)

This course will engage students in the forms and cultural significance of stories and storytelling through time, from hero myths and folktales to emerging media and popular culture, such as gaming, superhero films, and sports entertainment. Students will examine narrative modes and structures in various literary and non-literary texts, both classical and contemporary, with particular emphasis on the anthropological role of narrative in the construction of the individual and collective self.
