Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course examines the short story as a peculiar literary form, focusing on such issues as narrative techniques, literary structures, temporality, and a narrator’s point of view. We will analyze some of the most important works written in the 19th-21st centuries. The authors considered in this course will include, among others, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf, J. G. Ballard, and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie. Emphasis will be made on analysis, and through reading, discussing, as well as writing about different short stories, students will learn about the complexities of culture and society in the 19th-21st centuries. Some of the issues that we will discuss are disability, imperialism, racism, postcolonialism, climate change, feminism, and migration.
