授業の概要 |
This course will examine Mark Twain's life and literature in order to understand the role of technology and religion in modern society. Students will choose opinions about technology and religion from Mark Twain’s writings such as "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court," "Captain Storm field's Visit to Heaven," and others. They will report on these opinions to the class. Using them as a starting point, the students will compare and contrast Twain’s opinions with those of more recent scholars, and try to formulate their own opinions of the effects of technology and religion on our present society. |
