Aspects of America
A look at USA of today with focus on society and culture. The concept of the "American dream" will be examined in some non-fiction texts, but the course also includes a couple of modern American short stories. So textual analysis of both types are included in the course. We also read some short stories by Raymond Carver, and study how they are put together by director Robert Altmann. Consequently both short story analysis and film analysis is included in this course, but the primary focus is on fiction.
Fiction: the short story
Textual analysis: point of view, narrative perspective, characterization, setting, etc.
