Intended learning outcomes

The aim of this course, which is a continuation to Introduction to Literary Studies I, is to help students gain the skills necessary in the analysis and interpretation of a literary text (i.e. a novel, short story, poem, a play) in the light of literary theory. To this end, students will first be introduced to the major literary and cultural theories that will help them analyse a literary text within a theoretical frame. Following this, selected literary texts will be analysed in class, with focus on one critical literary theory. Additionally, students will be familiarised with film analysis (e.g. from the perspective of feminist film theory; Marxist film theory, etc.). At the end of the course, it is expected that students will be able to analyse and interpret a literary text as well as a film from a critical perspective independent of any teacher guidance.

Teaching methodology

The course will be conducted through lectures, class discussions and pair/group work. The required reading texts for textual analysis and class discussions will be available on the Moodle course page.
