Explores the relationship between the values of the marketplace and
our social structure by means of diverse cultural productions in the
humanities that appear as written, performed (we will attend a play
at the I.U. theater together), pictorial, and even plastic (works of
art at the I.U. art museum) texts. Organized as a true seminar (a
course in which all participants are responsible for constructing
knowledge), this course will rely heavily on student participation in
examining the variety of texts we explore together; much of the
teaching and learning will also rely on the findings of the projects
completed by individuals and groups.
