Syllabus
  • This course will try to show how the English people came to form a community and what kind of community it has been in its successive stages of development. Some theories of national culture and the relationship between nation, culture, and identity will be presented and discussed. Englishness and some English myths will be explored while focusing on scenes of English life in significant periods of English history in chronological order. Some handouts will be based on such fiction that reflects the situation of the English people in a particular period. The materials will include a number of video extracts taken from older or recent films of British production.
