課程概述 |
Designed for sophmore students and above, this course requires no previous knowledge of literary criticism. Introducing textual analysis through hands-on exercises, the course exposes students to various perspectives for reading literature and culture through lenses of class, gender, power, knowledge production, economics, health, globalization, etc. Students will learn about important debates in literary and cultural studies, developing skills for analyzing texts to help them succeed in literature courses. Over two semesters, six professors will introduce a variety of critical lenses for viewing literature and society. Students will engage with a range of literary and cultural objects to gain new perspectives on our world and better prepare them for future courses in DFLL. Students may take one or both semesters.
This semester, the course will be team taught in English by Guy Beauregard, Chi-she Li, and Chung-jen Chen. Each instructor will teach a five-week module as indicated in the schedule below. Feel free to direct any inquiries to Guy at: guy@ntu.edu.tw |

課程目標 |
This course aims to empower students to perform higher-order thinking beyond memorizing, understanding, and applying, to also analyze and evaluate texts, then begin to formulate arguments. Targeted to second year students, though open to more advanced students as well, this course is designed to provide an introduction to academic literary engagement. Exposure to a range of critical reading practices, and practice with a diverse set of texts is intended to give students a taste of directions they could pursue in future courses. Moreover, the skills students will practice should improve their performance in future literature courses, or other pursuits requiring critical thinking. |
