ENG 3090 - Horse & Human Culture
Credit(s): 3
Horses and humans have lived in close contact with each other for centuries, beginning with the domestication of the horse by humans 6,000 years ago. The horse has served throughout history as food, transportation, machine, god, athlete and companion, and is second only to the dog in its effects on human culture. In the 20th century, horses have assumed the role, for the most part, of recreational partner or pet. In some ways, however, we are only starting to understand the potential of horse-human relationships. This course will engage with questions of how the horse has shaped human culture and how human culture has shaped the horse, through the study of anthropology, history, art and literature, psychology and business, starting even before domestication and continuing into the present day.
