CORE 002 SC - Beyond Good and Evil
The notions of good and evil are not fixed and self-evident moral categories that can easily be applied to specific actions or works but are rather shifting and ambiguous concepts. This course will begin with three works of the Enlightenment that introduce good and evil as apparent binary opposites while questioning and subverting that assumption. We will explore the complexities of these concepts from the eighteenth century to the present in an interdisciplinary (theoretical texts, films, operas, novels, plays, legal proceedings) as well as a historical context. Themes will include the pact with the devil, seducers and femmes fatales, crime and criminality.
Instructor: D. Krauss
