Course content

This introductory course is offered to students of the first semesters in order to familiarize them with basic concepts and techniques of literary/cultural studies. The realm of subjects will thus be a wide one, including fundamental knowledge of and analytical tools for the genres of poetry, drama and fiction, or a survey of literary and cultural theory. To pass the course successfully, you will need to take short course quizzes at the end of each session (starting in week 2). There will be 10 quizzes in total - of which you need to pass at least 7. In addition to that, students will be asked to write a short (1,500 words) essay where you will apply key concepts and ideas from one of the literary/cultural theories discussed in class to a text (novel, short story, poem, film, song, music video, painting, etc.) of your own choice. Quiz results and essay grade will each contribute 50% to the overall grade.
