Description: This first-year tutorial will explore the experience of "alienation" in modern thought and culture. Building from theoretical explorations of alienation (drawn from philosophy and social theory), the course will proceed to examine the experience of "alienation" in a range of cultural texts (literature, film, music, and popular culture). During the last third of the semester, students will engage in self-directed research projects that will culminate in an oral presentation and a significant piece of written work.
