Metodologies

  descripción
Activitats Introductòries Preliminary lectures and readings will be given to present the basic literary constituents that conform a play and a film script. The lectures and readings will be followed by full class discussions.
Sessió Magistral Lectures will be based on the reading material of texts and the assigned texts for analysis and discussion. They will highlight the main ideas and concepts that contribute to the analysis of a play and a film script.
Seminaris Seminars (practical classes) will encourage group discussion of the specified text, and will allow students to practice the analysis of example texts, along the theoretical lines proposed in the theory classes. In order to participate fully, students must come to the seminars already familiar with the text under consideration. Texts to be discussed will be announced in the Course Timetable (available on Moodle)
Treballs Students will be asked to present written assignments, which may be required to be written in class, on a specific day, or at home. Each assignment will be about a specific texts, or part thereof, and will allow the student to show their ability to apply the theory presented in the lecture to the practical analysis of texts.

An assignment will consist of a 600-word analysis of a short text, specified by the tutors. The analysis, which, at least in the early stages of the course, will follow clear guidelines, will allow students to apply the relevant theory to a text. In later stages of the course, the structure will be more guided, rather than specific. An acceptable level of language accuracy is a prerequisite for an assignment to be evaluated. By "acceptable level" is meant the complete absence of simple errors belonging to the categories listed on a document that will be made available on the first day of class. Students will have only one opportunity to rectify language errors in an assignment in the course. Students will write these assignments, at home. 40
Proves mixtes

Mixed tests will require answers ranging from a single word to sentences to short paragraphs. They will test students' understanding of the theory explained in lectures, and their application to textual examples, most of which will have been studied already in class. 30
Proves pràctiques

B1
Practical tests will require students to write an analysis of a text in class, in order to show their familiarity with the text (prepared by the students' before the class) and their ability to analyze a text on their own, applying the skills they have acquired during the course. 30

Students are highly recommended to buy the course text "Ways of Reading" (see list above for details) in the specified edition, as it will form the backbone of the two 'Anàlisi de Texts' courses in the second year. Be careful to buy the 4th edition, if you are buying it new. If you buy it second-hand, any addition will do, but the later edition the better. There are copies in the library, but every theory class will make reference to the book, and you will be expected to have read the relevant chapters/sections before each theory class.

Students are required to buy Educating Rita in the edition specified.If students wish to buy a paperback edition of Daisy Miller, they are recommend the specific edition (Penguin Classics, NOT World Classics) as it has excellent notes, and introduction. However, the text is available through Project Gutenburg on-line, so can be easily downloaded for free.The Film text we shall study is Citizen Kane, by Orson Welles. The film script is downloadable; however, our focus will be on the film itself, as a text. There are various copies available from the CRAIs of the URV.There will be an anthology of additional texts made available through the Campus Catalunya photocopy service, which is a compulsory purchase for students following the course. It will be available from the first day of the course.

Based on their secondary-school experience, where often students are not taught to analyze texts for themselves, but rather memorize an analysis made by the teacher, many people approach this course with some trepidation. Especially if they are students who have decided they "don't like literature". The course aims to build the students' confidence so that they can see that their initial reactions to a text are very often an excellent starting point into the text, and by learning to trust these reactions and express them coherently in words, they can proceed to make assertions about a literary text which are well-grounded. Through regular practice and constancy, and an understanding of the skills involved, students will see how the application of certain procedures will put them in a position where they can confidently talk about the principle characteristics of a literary text. In order to acquire the skills and knowledge that this course attempts to impart, regular attendance and an attentive attitude/participation in class is essential. There are no marks in the CA for attendance and participation as students who attend and participate will get better marks. For students who are unable to attend regularly, it is unlikely that they will be able to pass the course, as essential in-class practice is hard to replace with any other form of study. However, for students with a validated excuse, successful completion of all the CA elements, and attendance wherever possible, will be deemed sufficient to pass the course.
