How to Read: Methods of Analysis and Interpretation in Literary and Cultural Studies
Sabine Schülting
Kommentar
This course, aimed at students in the first year of the MA programme, will offer a refresher and consolidation of methods of literary and cultural analysis. Work in this course will be dedicated to the discussion of various literary and non-literary texts and other media (such as films or podcasts). We will reflect on our reading strategies, develop research questions and evaluate the usefulness of different approaches to literary and cultural analysis.
In addition to a selection of short stories, poems, essays etc., mainly from the 20th and 21st centuries, we will read Ali Smith’s How to Be Both (2014), and Brian Friel’s Translations (1980). Students should purchase copies of these two texts, both of which are available as inexpensive paperback editions. Shorter texts will be made available through Blackboard.
Assessment: Students are expected to attend regularly and participate in all seminar activities. This will include e.g. group work, short in-class presentations, and response papers.
Students should combine this course with the tutorial in the module (17 391), taught by Professor Karschay.
