| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This course analyzes a culture through the study of its art, philosophy, and literature. It not only acquaints cadets with a particular period and place but also introduces them to various definitions of culture and to recent themes and debates in cultural studies. The work of theorists as diverse as Matthew Arnold, Walter Benjamin, Raymond Williams, and Laura Mulvey informs this team-taught course's interdisciplinary approach to cultural artifacts as well as its investigation of aesthetics, ideology, and issues of ethnicity, gender, and class. Typical areas of focus include Augustan Rome, Enlightenment France, and Meiji Japan. Cadets should take this course early in their program of study. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This course considers the thinking processes, investigative techniques, fruitful theories, and current methods of discourse relating to the study of art, philosophy, and literature, a rich nexus that contributes significantly to cultural identities. Normally a team of professors will teach this course and will direct the application of discoveries to a group of cultural artifacts like the Acropolis, the Republic, and the Iliad or, perhaps, the work of Delacroix, Nietzsche, and Goethe. Cadets should take this course early in their program of study. | |||||||||
