Faculty First Year Seminars 197ENGL7 - Play and Video Games

In this class we will explore how video games are related to our shared cultural values and beliefs. We will approach these questions centered as humanists and as cultural critics who rely on models of analyzing culture that have long been established in literary discourse, cultural theory, philosophy, and art. As such, our primary methodological aim will be interdisciplinary. By the end of the term we will be able to articulate how a background in the humanities prepares us to both play and think more dynamically.
