COLT 1440A S01 [CRN: 24253]

The Wire has received attention from fields like sociology and urban studies, which tend to read the work as a fictionalization of their observations about cities. It has not received as much attention from departments of literature, although it should. In our course, traditional categories of literary study (including character, storytelling, fiction, and tragedy) will be wedded to the investigation of contemporary problems that emerge from the work (including class, race, neoliberalism, the disappearance of work, and the death and life of American cities).
