Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound II
Course Code
HUMA 16100 97
Course Description
This course focuses on writing, reading, and signs.
Language is an extraordinarily flexible medium for representing events and experiences-but it also raises distinctive challenges of interpretation, decoding, and translation.
We examine some of these challenges through Plato's Phaedrus, Shakespeare's The Tempest, Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home.
Course Criteria
This course is only open to incoming UChicago transfer students. For more info, please visit the Summer Session Incoming Transfer Students page.
This course must be taken alongside HUMA 16000, Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound I, as well as an afternoon writing course that runs August 4-September 12, 2025 (no class September 1).
