Course Descriptions

This is a focused examination of one particular genre and its attendant sub-genres. For example, these genres could include magic realism, detective fiction, science fiction, Theatre of the Absurd, or historical fiction. Students are required to consider the various ways that texts can be understood in relation to established modes of expression and/or audience expectations. By examining the defining features of genres and sub-genres, students gain valuable knowledge about literary and cultural contexts, while at the same time developing interpretive strategies for reading texts in terms of their larger social significance.
