HUM 110    Humanities and the Postmodern World (4)

The twenty-first century world is being shaped by an array of technological, social, and economic forces ranging from the ubiquity of media and information technologies to the globalization of economic processes. The role of humanities in interpreting and understanding the reshaped landscape of this postmodern world is examined by exploring various modes of human expression (for example, art, architecture, film, literature, philosophy) and  studying how these try to make sense of this dynamic and sometimes disorientating social and cultural environment.
