Title: Wicked? The Conception of Evil
Course: WBIS 188
Section: 007, 008, 029
Instructor: Duhatschek
What is "Evil" and how does storytelling---mythology, fairytales, folktales, and other stories that are told within cultures--help to shape, influence, and comment on the ways those cultures come to understand the concepts of "good" and "evil?" How does our understanding of what is good and what is evil impact the way we approach and think about the world?
