पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program focuses upon two areas of study: major cultural products by the principal novelists, philosophers, poets, political and religious thinkers, historians, artists, musicians and intellectuals in American history; and major cultural movements which have shaped the world view and attitudes of literate Americans in each period of American history. In the first area of focus, a heavy emphasis will be given to the individual creative work, its form and content, its specific antecedents and influences as well as its later impact, and the cultural and philosophical implications of the text itself. The relationship between each work and larger trends of the period, both cultural and social, will also be explored. In the second field of study, the focus will be upon broader cultural movements which are diffused through the larger literate society, which include both major cultural documents as well as more popular expressions of these ideas, beliefs and attitudes. Thus, the focus here will be more upon the cultural reception and diffusion of ideas, the relation between innovative movements and mainstream belief systems and attitudes, and the nature and direction of cultural exchange.
