UISA 160 - Literature and Psychology


3 credit(s)
This course is designed to provide a broad introduction to psychological concepts and literary interpretation, emphasizing how these two discourses interact in a search to understand what makes us “us.” Focusing on a set of literary and psychological readings that differ with each section of the course, students will explore issues relating to thought, language, perception, cognition, and emotion through an interdisciplinary lens. The main objects of study will be primary literary and psychological texts, with “texts” broadly defined to allow for the inclusion of film, other visual media, and pop culture. Individual sections may focus on specific topics like psychoanalysis, psychopathology, trauma, child development, or social behavior. (Formerly AUCA 160)
