fakultatywne

Założenia (opisowo):

Students with a good command of English (B2 or better) are welcome to enrol.

This course is intended for students willing to develop their literary and analytical reading skills. Since the course offers a bulk of selected readings, students must be prepared to find time for self-study.


Skrócony opis:

This course offers instruction in literature in English via close reading of selected texts. Although largely Anglo-American texts will be selected for reading, some European literary, philosophical and theoretical texts will be analysed as well.

Pełny opis:

This course focuses on literary and philosophical works in English against the backdrop of simultaneously developing cultural and historical transformations as well as theoretical schools and methodologies of a given period. The subjects are arranged thematically rather than chronologically (although chronological order is kept if possible) in 3 streams: philosophy, theory, culture + literature + language, to assure interdisciplinary nature of the module. Every class involves teacher instruction and in-depth explanation of the periods and works in question, followed by close-reading of selected texts. Mostly non-canonical texts are offered for reading to do justice to the aspect of otherness and transgression.

After the course completion, students are expected to submit their research papers that are 2500 – 4000 words in length and cover selected aspects discussed at classes.
