Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students explore iconic examples of European and Latin American literature. These works, whether poetry or prose, reflect key concerns of their respective communities, such as shaping their national identities or addressing significant societal changes. The historical, political and social contexts associated with each of the works are examined, as are the formal characteristics of the different genres, along with their reception over time. By analysing these literary texts, students will develop a deeper critical understanding of one of humanity's most valuable forms of creative expression. Literature will be examined for what it can reveal about people's innermost hopes, fears, desires and strategies of resilience. Specific themes include love and despair, life and death, individual and group identities, social inclusion and exclusion, homelands, nature and the environment. The texts will be available in English translation. All classes will be conducted in English.
