| AIM OF THE COURSE |
After completion of the course the student should be able to:
- Identify and describe different manifestations of intertextuality in literature, discuss their function, and relate their use to a wider historical and social context as well as to tradition and the canon.
- Critically analyse literary texts using terminology and perspectives borrowed from theories of intertextuality and traditional poetics. |
| CONTENTS |
| The course introduces theories of intertextuality as first conceptualized in the 1960s. It relates intertextuality to terms and concepts within traditional poetics as well as to theories of postmodernism, post-colonialism and feminism. The theoretical perspective is combined with a study of various manifestations of intertextuality in literature. |
| TEACHING |
| The course is organised as lectures, seminars, group discussions and individual presentations. All seminars require preparation and demand the student's active participation, which means that a great deal of the course work consists of independent study. The language of instruction is English. |
| EXAMINATION |
Each student is examined by way of a take-home assignment dealing with the course literature, by way of an assessment of the student's oral presentations and the student's activity in seminars.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades. |
