Aims and objectives of the course:<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

It introduces specific terminology and emphasizes the possibility of reviewing the contents of particular literary items by comparative and interdisciplinary analysis whilst also stimulating the prowess to research literary contents in a broader socio-historical context. The expectations are that this course might aid the students improve their overall knowledge of a chosen period of the development of English literature, whilst also coaching their analytic skill and furthering their research abilities with the prospects of future, more focused thematic studies in the subject area of literature, philosophy and in relevant interdisciplinary projects.<\/p>\n

NB! A synopsis of a relieved syllabus, reading list and course requirements are available for hybrid philologies upon request.<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Mode of Assessment<\/b><\/p>\n

For the purpose of the successful completion of the course all students are required to:\u00b7 Be present at, and take active part in, discussions during seminar classes
\n\u00b7 Cover the whole of the reading list of prose fiction and poetic works of the period
\n\u00b7 Study valuable relevant criticism and make their own contribution in discussions and in working on individual projects
\n\u00b7 Maintain a good level of written and spoken English in order to put themselves across to their peers and to the course convenor
\n\u00b7 Master the set of critical terms and philosophical concepts applicable to the literary period in hand
\n\u00b7 Resist BY ALL MEANS (!!!) any temptations\/urge to cheat: i.e. to copy during a test, or to plagiarise from available critical sources (hard copy, or THE INTERNET), or from one another! An attempt to cheat in any way leads to disqualification from the right to sit for the exam and may well lead to further departmental complications!!!
\n\u00b7 Come for the class <\/b>with THEIR OWN GROUP and ON TIME
\n<\/b>\u00b7 Facilitate the atmosphere of civilized discussion and ethics in tolerating one another\u2019s viewpoint and manner of presentation<\/p>\n

It would indeed be common courtesy of a student to inform the course convenor of an inability to attend (a) seminar(s) in advance: that would guarantee better synchronization with the pace of work \u2013 planned and actual. <\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Competence expectations<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The course is designed for BA Students<\/b> with a registered interest in Literary Studies (literary history and literary criticism), eager to promote their awareness of certain existential issues in English poetry of the period and in this case prepared to receive broader grounding in some aspects of 20th<\/sup>-century European onto-philosophy and existential ethics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Aims and objectives of the course:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u00a0Intended as a sequence of 8 lectures and 6 seminars, the course covers major works by the following philosophers: Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, Mikhail Bakhtin, Paul Ricoeur, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Wolfgand Iser, and Reinhart Koselleck<\/b>. The seminars seek to discover possibilities in applying those onto English poetical works within the given period.In addition to the sine-qua-non practical element, needed throughout the course shall be the students\u2019 own experiential and cultural awareness of the functioning of certain major philosophic concepts (e.g. Self, Care, Pardon, Death, Faith, <\/i>etc.). The successful unfolding of the course shall depend as much on the students\u2019 own active interest and creativity in individually researching related existential matters and in sharing ideas within a critical circle of fellow believers.<\/p>\n

A secondary aim of this course is to improve the students\u2019 overall knowledge of a chosen period of the development of English poetry, whilst coaching their analytic skill and furthering their research abilities with the prospects of future, more focused thematic studies in the subject area of literature, philosophy and in relevant interdisciplinary projects.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Weekly organization of topics & reading assignments:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1. PROGRAMME OF STUDIES:<\/b>Introduction.<\/b> Terminological specifications. Literary backgrounds, sources of ideas, the historical canvas. Philosophical specification: the concept of TIME, the symbolic presence of the GRAVE;<\/p>\n

Section I \u2013<\/b> lectures (8 consecutive classes) on relevant philosophy;<\/p>\n

Section II<\/b> \u2013 textual analysis (6 consecutive classes) on:<\/p>\n

a\/ Thomas Gray:<\/b> the cognitive resources of the nether world. Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1751)<\/i>.<\/p>\n

b\/ William Wordsworth: <\/b>the poet befuddled: multitudinous selfhood and paradoxical discontinuities in We Are Seven. <\/i><\/p>\n

Samuel Taylor Coleridge: <\/b>seafaring & Penitence: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798\/1817). <\/i><\/p>\n

Emily Bront\u00eb:<\/b> the problem of the Dead\/Missing Other<\/i> in the context of Gondal (Infanticide, Orphanhood; the Ghost; the sinner). A selection of poems is to be provided.<\/p>\n

Alfred Tennyson<\/b>: the disillusioned individual and the search for an Authorial Other<\/i> (the problem of FAITH); evolutionism<\/i>. In Memoriam (1834-1850), Crossing the Bar (1889).<\/i><\/p>\n

Course requirements:<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The students will finally be given 90 minutes to produce a literary essay (around 600 words), which would require direct analysis of relevant poetry and demonstration of good theoretical awareness of the philosophy underlying the course itself. Fluency in both general English language, use of specialized critical terminology, and a skill for comparative observation \u2013 those would be the pre-requisites for the successful completion of the course which calls for the student\u2019s individual ability to amalgamate and implement critical ideas within first-hand private reading of poetic material.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mode of assessment:<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The final mark<\/b> comprises the following elements:<\/b><\/b> <\/p>\n

– written literary essay \u2013 50 % _(requiring implementation of theory in direct textual analysis of a relevant poetic excerpt, in around 600 words; tifme allotted for the final essay: 90 minutes);
\n– participation in discussions \u2013 25 % (individual presentations of theory read and applied; general group discussions, team projects \u2013 oral and written;)
