Contenuti
We will be “reading” texts of various kinds – written, filmic, or musical – that can be considered literary precisely because of the way they reward the close attention we will practice.
Each week will include an asynchronous component, whereby students are asked to read or view works, write blog posts, or listen to recorded lectures in their own time, before a specific deadline. The work that the students produce during this asynchronous part will be graded as a portfolio (30% of the course grade).
Each week will also include a synchronous component, consisting of live sessions via Zoom. For these sessions, students will have prepared in advance by reading or watching the work assigned in the course schedule.
Together, across both the synchronous and asynchronous modalities, students will get to know a diverse selection of rich literary texts produced in the Anglophone world and will be equipped with the tools to analyze them.
Testi/Bibliografia
Please see the course schedule, which will be regularly updated. Readings will include short stories, a hip-hop musical, a novella, several films, and other materials suitable to the methods of analysis taught in this class.
