SHOW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE

Credit: 3 hours.

Introduction to the study of literature in the twenty-first century. This course will expand your sense of what literature is and where it happens, including discussion of old and new literary forms (from novels, poems, and plays to comic books, video games, and films). Along the way, students will explore some of the literary and cultural opportunities (such as author readings, scholarly talks, and performances) available to them on a large public university campus, with two goals in mind: to develop your critical interpretive skills and to acquaint you with the discipline of literary studies as it is being practiced all around us today, both inside and outside the conventional classroom.

Section Info: SP22 ENGL 200: Introduction to the Study of Literature and Culture - This course is designed to help students develop key interpretive skills and a knowledge base that will prepare them for further study in literature. We will engage with works of literature from a range of different genres (including fiction, drama, and poetry), paying attention to how the form of each text impacts our understanding of its meaning; we will work on developing skills in close textual reading; we will practice articulating persuasive, evidence-based arguments about the readings; and we will think about the relationship between literature and the world. How does literature both reflect on, and intervene in, our understanding of individual subjectivity, historical processes, and contemporary social struggles? Works may include Dracula, The God of Small Things, Apocalypse Now, Well Then There Now, The Tempest, Jane Eyre, Future Home of the Living God, and Tropic of Orange.
