English - Elective Subject, topic 2: Literature and Emotions
Course content
This BA elective will introduce you to a number of different texts that complement your literary readings in your BA programme so far. The texts range from the canonical via the postcolonial to the contemporary. The course engages in the affective turn in literary studies and explores the relationship between literature and emotions. In turning to critical theory, we will also consider how affective science has impacted on literary studies. The course will be organised around thematic clusters, zooming in on emotions such as passion, anger, shame and grief.
