That's Edu-Tainment, Part 437
Good gravy.
I've been performing the Sisyphean task of cleaning out my e-mailbox and I came across a 3 year old email that is pretty funny. And maddening.
It's a request from our department that we make our course titles "sexier." Now, what I am guessing they mean by this is that we give the course some oh-so-contemporary or oh-so-pop-cultural theoretical or thematic twist. Such as "Homer to Homer: Irony and Narrative from The Iliad to The Simpsons." Or "The Post-Colonial and the Post-Human in Swift and Lucian."
Sexy.
So, in deference to this three year old email that's still funny (and maddening), here are my course proposals for next term:
Deus Sex Machina: The 'Happy Ending' Tragedies of Euripides
Representations of "Doing It" in Late Geometric Period Vase Paintings
Who's Your Daddy?: The Elektra Myth from Sophocles to O'Neill
Cum Guzzling Ho's: The Pilgrim Narratives of John Winthrop
