Cíle předmětu
Tento kurz je vyučován v angličtině.
Kurz se zaměřuje na australské narativy od 80. let 20. století s důrazem na diverzitu témat (historie, etnicita, kulturní diskurz, atd.), která rezonují v současné Austrálii. Kurz je rozdělen do několika sekcí, které pokrývají např. multikulturní literaturu a literaturu psanou migranty, aboridžinskou literaturu, literární reprezentace australské krajiny, historické narativy přepisující koloniální a nacionalistické období, atd. Studenti budou analyzovat texty a narativy, které kriticky zkoumají a dekonstruují australské identity a mýtus homogenního, bělošského, maskulinního, anglosaského národa.
Výstupy z učení
Studenti získají lepší přehled o literatuře a kultuře jedné z anglicky mluvících zemí mimo Velkou Británii a USA. Porozumí základním tématům australské historie a kultury, která rezonují v současné literární produkci. V kurzu si studenti také zlepší své analytické dovednosti, akademické psaní a schopnost pracovat se základními teoretickými koncepty, které budou v tomto kurzu představeny.
