CORE 003 SC - What is Genius? The Evolution of a Concept
This class closely examines the historical antecedents of the term “genius”and scrutinizes the categorizing of individuals as such in the 19th and 20th centuries. By studying primary texts, films, and works of popular fiction and non-fiction, we will explore: the changing ideas about genius as it is related to creativity and mental illness; the science of genius and the brain; impact of race and gender on the identification of genius; and the connection drawn between genius and the natural or Divine.
Instructor: N. Macko
