Description
This unit seeks to place literary works in their historical and cultural context, while exploring their artistic dimension. The tools, methods and practices of textual analysis will be further investigated through close reading and argumentative writing.
The courses on offer (TDs) give students an opportunity to further study American literature through the critical analysis of individual works. Some of the TDs, as well as the CM, introduce students to the study of the relationships between literary and visual forms.
Students will develop their critical vocabulary and their close reading skills. Reading, writing and speaking skills are developed in relation to argumentative analysis.
