Prosimy zapoznać się z krótkimi opisami kursów:
prof. Michał Lachman, “British Literature 4: Contemporary English Drama, Theatre and Performance”
The course covers different aspects of drama, theatre, and performance in the twentieth and twenty-first century. We concentrate mainly on British, Irish and American works to consider how the forms of writing and performing have evolved through time. The course looks at modern forms of realism, tragedy, comedy, satire and farce or the absurd as main genres of dramatic writing. The aim of the course is thus to see how theatre and performance art react to changing cultural, political and social conditions. The reading list for the course contains works by leading British, Irish and American authors. Sample criticism, introductory theoretical texts, theatre reviews and visual illustration will be provided to offer essential critical concepts necessary for analysis and discussion.
prof. Małgorzata Myk, Literatura Amerykańska 3: Extreme States in New North American Writing
Broadening students’ knowledge of contemporary American Literature, the course offers insights into current developments in XXI-century North American writing that focuses on different states of extremity: social, political, economic, as well as technological. How does literature respond to the extreme global phenomena of wars, climate catastrophe, the pandemic, late-capitalism, fascism, racism, or Artificial Intelligence? How are forms of writing in the United States changing and evolving in response to psycho-political pressures and social challenges produced by such realities? We will try to approach these questions reading and discussing some of the most thought-provoking and formally innovative texts by XXI-century North American authors, including Robert Fitterman, Alison Cobb, Divya Victor, Tan Lin, Joey Yearous-Algozin, Kevin Davies, Craig Dworkin, Mark Nowak, Andrea Brady, Kim Rosenfield, and Syd Zolf, among others. Readings will be supplemented by critical and theoretical commentaries on the status of texts in the present-day technologically mediated environment. The class expands the selection of canonical and mainstream works discussed in the American Literature Survey Course by introducing cutting-edge experimental or avant-garde texts that have also significantly transformed the landscape of American writing in recent years.
prof. Anna Cichosz,
dr Monika Kocot, British Literature 4: Beyond England—Scottish and Postcolonial Literatures
The course British Literature 4 is a continuation of British Literature 3.
The course examines contemporary British literature—including poetry, short fiction, novels, and drama—to investigate forms of (playful) cultural subversion, transgression of generic and aesthetic conventions, and the transformative potential of “engaged” writing. While such concerns are also present in mainstream literature, they are more frequently and forcefully articulated by writers from social, political, and ethnic minority backgrounds. For this reason, the syllabus focuses on works produced in Great Britain (with particular emphasis on Scotland) as well as in former British colonies such as Canada, Australia, and South Africa.
