[edit] Description from course catalog
- This course will focus on verbal art genres across the world, examining their importance in
the construction of identities and the structuring of political power. Taking into consideration diverse art forms such as verbal duels and ritual insults, storytelling, street theater, and ritual speech, the course will rethink definitions of art and language, encouraging a discussion of how such definitions can influence our ways to approach and experience verbal art and non-Western aesthetic systems.
