Prosimy zapoznać się z krótkimi opisami kursów:
1. dr hab. Michał Lachman, prof. UŁ, Contemporary English Drama, Theatre and Performance (British Literature 3)
The course covers different aspects of drama, theatre, performance and spectacle in the twentieth and twenty-first century. We concentrate mainly on British, Irish and American works and shows to consider how the forms of writing and performing have evolved through time. The course looks at modern tragedy, comedy, satire and farce as main genres of dramatic writing. It also analyses different modes of presentation from traditional theatrical production, through happening and performance art to street and protest theatre. The aim of the course is thus to see how theatre and performance art react to changing cultural, political and social conditions. The reading list for the course contains works by leading British, Irish and American authors and performance artists. Sample criticism, introductory theoretical texts, theatre reviews and visual illustration will be provided to offer essential critical concepts necessary for analysis and discussion.
2. dr Monika Kocot, British Literature 4
The course will look at contemporary British literary texts (poems, short stories, novels and plays) to explore various aspects of (playful) subversion in culture, transgression of generic and aesthetic norms, and the transformative power of “engaged” literature. Although these themes do appear in mainstream literature, they are most often explored by authors representing social, political, and ethnic minorities. That is why we will be reading and discussing texts written in Great Britain (with a particular focus on Scotland), and in former British colonies (Canada, Australia, South Africa). Feel free to join us to discover British literature you have never heard of.
3. dr Joanna Matyjaszczyk, Constructing 'the Other' in English literature (British Literature 1 & 2)
This course explores the construction and deconstruction of "Otherness" in various works of English literature, focusing particularly on medieval and early modern popular literature, as well as Victorian and postmodern fiction. We will examine a range of texts, including popular ballads, romances, short stories, tales, and fragments of plays and novels. Through these works, we will investigate how different literary forms centre their narrative voices, plots, and characters around the figure of the Other and how they engage in the discourses of physical difference and monstrosity, ethnic and religious prejudice, anti-feminism, and witchcraft.
4, dr hab.Anna Cichosz, prof. UŁ, Eald Englisc for beginners (History of English 2)
This course of Old English as a foreign language will cover all the basics of the Old English language, giving students access to simple texts written in this language, and some more advanced literature (with the help of glossaries and dictionaries). You can expect language and translation exercises just like during a regular course of a foreign language, on the basis of online and printed materials, accompanied by presentations on selected aspects of the Anglo-Saxon culture and every day life.
