No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1971–72 to 1978–79 (before that, 1969–70 used the number for Department of Sociology and Anthropology); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This course attempts to provide the student with an opportunity for exploring literature as a social phenomenon. Specific areas to be dealt with might include: 1) the relationship of the artist to his social structure; 2) the nature of the relationship of the work and its audience; 3) the attitudes toward the social structure implicit in the work of art. In general the course is viewed as an attempt to combine both the scientific approach and the humanistic approach to literature. Here literature is viewed as including both belles lettres and popular culture. The course will be taught by someone in Sociology and someone in Literature in dialogue method. Prerequisite: Sociology 101* and English 101 (or equivalent) Not offered 1974-75
