| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course the student should on an advanced level be able to:
− Identify and describe different strategies for representing gender in literature and film in relation to the historical, social and cultural context,
− Critically analyze literary texts and films using terminology and perspectives from gender theory and literary theory. |
| CONTENTS |
| The course relies on gender theory in the analysis of literature and film within their historical, social and cultural context. Concepts and terminology from literary studies and gender theory are introduced and applied in the study of representations of gender in both film and 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. Therefore a great deal of the course work consists of independent study. The course may be given in 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. Homework and independent study are a necessary complement to the course.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades. |
