Cíle předmětu
This year's course will consider in relative detail a range of fictional, and in one case, partly non-fictional, texts produced by post-war American writers, focusing this semester on works by Paul Bowles,Malcolm Lowry,Thomas Pynchon, E.Annie Proulx,and Lidia Davis and their relation to global, regional, socio-geographical and psycho-geographical perspectives deriving from their writing. The aim of the course will be to analyse intrinsically formal elements of textual production, partly in connection with social developments both in the United States and in the post-war world generally but particularly in terms of generating specific, potential forms of subjectivity with which the reader is encouraged to interact. By the end of the course participants are expected to be able to have a more detailed understanding of some of the strategies deployed by those writers considered in this respect.
