WRIT 132 SC - Arts + Culture Review

This course is a writing workshop designed to enhance your skills in the journalistic review. Focusing on reviews of food, travel, books, film, music, and art and performance, we’ll read reviews from the best practitioners in each area as well as cultural theories of taste and aesthetics and discuss the politics of both. We’ll develop our critical palates by doing taste tests and short critiques in class. Finally, we’ll talk about the ethics and logistics of reviewing as well as issues of form. Assignments will include reviews in each area and critical responses to the reviews of others.
