Are you hooked on urban legends?   Want to know 
whether those email cookie recipes are for real?  
Curious about famous hoaxes, ones that fooled even  
the experts?   This course offers everything you ever 
wanted to know about urban legends —what are 
they?   Why do they persist?  Where do they come 
from?   How do they spread?   And, perhaps most 
importantly, why do we tell them?   Using 
anthropology and the methods of folklore, we ’ll look at 
the types of urban legends, the way they ’re told, and 
what they tell about society ’s fears and concerns. 
Urban legends have a lot to say about sex, race  
relations, and social structure.

Online Course  Dr. Deborah Zelli
Do you enjoy movies, art, music, and pictures from 
faraway places?  Ever wonder just how accurate they 
are?  Or what exotic places are really like?  Visual 
images of distant lands are exotic peoples have long 
captured the interest of Western culture.  Since the 
turn of the century, the general public has satisfied 
this hunger through National Geographic magazine. 
Supplementing these photos and articles were the 
works of famous artists such as Gaugin.  More 
recently, the public has turned to film and television 
for the illusion of experiencing far away lands. 
Supplementing this interest has been a resurgence of 
the ethnic in pop culture. This course will use popular 
film, novels, music, and magazines to better 
understand the construction of the exotic and the 
consequences of these constructions for indigenous 
peoples.
