LS 772 - The Sagas of the Seventies(3.00 cr.)
What most of us think of as the sixties happened in the early 1970s. The films, books, and pop culture of the era reflected a deepening questioning and cynicism that began with the previous decade. By the decade's end, the President would declare a "national malaise." Then again, he wouldn't be president much longer. This course examines the inquiries into order, coherence, form, and values that grew out of the cultural redefinitions underway as the 1960s drew to a semi-apocalyptic close. Texts include six novels, five films, and three television series that defined and interpreted that decade of excess.
