This class is about the function of magic in folk and fairy tales in Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe. What is magic? Where does it come from? Why does it fascinate us? How does it work? Students will read and watch works from and inspired by German, Scandinavian, and Slavic folk and fairy tales to come to a better understanding of magic’s existence in the world, its origins, functions, and potential.
Taught by Dr. Katherine Bowers, the class will meet virtually on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 – 3:30 pm in Term 2. Register for CENS 201 004 today!
