\u2018Love makes the world go round,\u2019 according to a song from the Broadway musical Carnival<\/em>. Certainly the theme of love stands out as a central force motivating poetry, fiction, film, and popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session will explore selected familiar works of literature and popular culture in order to consider what clues these they contain to the implicit meanings of love that haunt us. What secret does the song suggest when it tells us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love makes the world go \u2018round
Love makes the world go \u2018round
Somebody soon will love you
If no one loves you now<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1960s people were advised to make love not war. Still, why is it that war makes for the best romantic love stories? Do our literary and popular portrayals of love provide insights into the tangled thickets of love where narcissism, domination, betrayal, disillusion and conflict accompany expressions of infinite tenderness and care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of love portrayed in this session
<\/strong>Romantic and Erotic Love
Love of Friends, Family
Love and the Innocence of Childhood
Love of God and Country, Cosmos, Knowledge and Other Abstractions
Love of Life, Love of Earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feelings of love expressed in literature from the Native American context will provide a contrast to the feelings and ideas of love for those of us raised in anthropocentric (human-centered) cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred Rogers, host of the public television children\u2019s show Mr. Rogers Neighborhood<\/em> articulated the vital importance of love to children, as you can see in these two YouTube clips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists have shown that without love a child becomes psychologically damaged and may even die. But love and death are woven together, so literature tells us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants are urged to review several short YouTube clips from film versions of one of the most intense romantic love stories every written: Wuthering Heights<\/em> by Emily Bront\u00eb<\/u>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
