Imagination

I just read the comment from my last post, about "Imagination," the title of my Marshall College writing class for next quarter. I pulled the definition from the course catalog:

Dimensions of Culture: Imagination (6)
Using the arts, this course examines the evolution of pluralistic culture to the modern period. There is a special emphasis on the interdisciplinary study of twentieth-century American culture, including music, literature, art, film, and photography. The course offers intensive instruction in writing university-level expository prose. Three hours of lecture, two hours of discussion and writing instruction. Open to Marshall College students only.

We will be reading materials from a course reader, just like the other two quarters of this program- you have to buy it from an independent company, and its basically just a compilation of articles and excerpts. We'll also be reading the novels Vine of Desire and Fire Next Time, which I just ordered used on Amazon; i think I got them for about 2 bucks each.
