131. Scandinavian Culture.
(3). (Excl).
This course introduces first-year students to cultural studies
in general and Scandinavian studies in particular. The course
is an introduction to as many aspects of Scandinavian culture
as we can cover in a term. Guest lectures will visit the class
to talk about such topics as history, religion, politics, myth
and folklore, literature and music. The heart of the course is the Scandinavian welfare state; economic and gender equality, education, housing, health care, and the challenges facing Scandinavia
today. We will look at differences and similarities between the
Scandinavian countries, and their relations to the rest of Europe
and the European Union. We will read about how the mass immigration
to America in the late 19th century affected Scandinavia, and whether/how the modern immigration to Scandinavia affects the
countries today. We will read American and Scandinavian texts
about Scandinavia, both factual materials and fiction and we will
watch movies that will give a picture of Scandinavia today.
