Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This class is intended as an on-site class (i.e. face to face). However, depending on group size and the regulations of the university (in accordance with CoVid infection numbers), we will have to be flexible as far as hybrid or online learning modes are concerned.The title of this course indicates that its aim is to look at social contexts or, indeed, the social “lives” of all kinds of texts. This can be the sociohistorical circumstances or historical reception processes of texts from former centuries; it can concern social media research with various foci; it can be a sociolinguistic study of the way speakers interact; and it can be a study of representation of class, race, or other factors in any kind of medium. We will try to map the various social connections that texts might have, look at sociological accounts of literary and cultural studies, and see how participants’ own PhD projects benefit from such a vantage point. We will also have enough time to discuss individual projects at their various stages of progress and see how your own PhDs’ social lives can be improved.
Assessment and permitted materials

• read short texts or watch videos which will be posted on moodle in preparation for each class

Presence and participation is mandatory. You can have two absences. Please make sure you bring yourselves up to date on tasks and readings if you miss a class.
