Arcade Fire: A Discography--English Literature Course
We’ll be using the “text” of Arcade Fire as a prime example. We will explore rock music as an imperative form of protest, as a necessary public/democratic art form, and as an accessible font of social criticism. We will expand your understanding of what constitutes a text; will teach you techniques for interpreting, critiquing, and evaluating texts; and will help you write academic arguments about texts for academic, disciplinary audiences.
