Cíle předmětu
This course is an introduction to thinking and writing about literature. Foremost, we will read and discuss a wide variety of texts. In our discussions, we will focus on how we, as readers, can approach these texts creatively and independently so that we become empowered by literature - for example, by becoming the co-creators of meaning. In order to reach that goal, we will start assembling the basic toolbox of an empowered reader: we will learn how to pose effective questions and lead a discussion about literature, how to employ the tools of critical analysis, use the basic terms of literary theory and criticism, and be comfortable with the conventions of academic discourse. We will also practice essential writing skills, such as explication or comparison and contrast.
