  Descripció
Activitats Introductòries Preliminary concepts and readings will be given to present the basic literary constituents that conform a piece of fiction. These lectures will be followed by class discussions.
Seminaris The seminars will be based on the analysis of all the texts. Active participation of the student is expected.
Presentacions / exposicions Part of the evaluation process is based on individual oral presentations. The class will be divided into different groups and each group, and each student, will have to introduce different issues relating to the social-historical context that accompanies each literary extract and short story. A general discussion will follow.
Atenció personalitzada Students are welcome to contact me in office hours or by email for personal consultation. I especially ask those students who have serious problems in attending classes regularly to contact me at the beginning of the course.

Martin Montgomery et al, Ways of Reading, Fourth edition, 2007

  It is very important that you have a copy of the textbook Ways of Reading (4th Edition!).

*Ways of Reading

(Fourth Edition). You will need it, not only for Anàlisi de Textos I but also for Anàlisi de Textos II, both of which are compulsory subjects in Semesters One and Two. In the first semester, we shall be studying the main points in Sections 1-3, although we shall also be looking at other theories which are important for this module.

*Dossier

The dossier contains all the reading texts we will be analysing throughout the course. Fiction, poetry and prose. You can obtain a copy of the Dossier in the Photocopying Room in September. The texts chosen have been selected because they are especially open to different theoretical frameworks.

*Moodle

Many of the classes will be given as seminars, some as lectures. Power Point presentations on various topics will be uploaded on Moodle, also website addresses where you can access interesting and relevant information.



*Films:

During the course, we shall also see one or two films which will be analysed through theories of "Ways of Looking": the gaze of the camera, landscape, genderscape, language.
