Cíle předmětu
Kurz se zaměřuje na detailní studium kanonických textů anglofonního literárního prostředí a jejich přepisů, adaptací, apropriací a dekonstrukcí z pohledu postkoloniální a feministické kritiky. Výchozím bodem literární a kulturní analýzy bude postkoloniální a feministická praxe zkoumání a poukazování na absence, mlčení, paradoxy a aporie v kanonických textech s cílem upozornit na hlasy dríve umlčené. Ve čtyřech "párových" čteních budeme studovat následující texty: Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe/ J. M. Coetzee, Foe; Charles Dickens, Great Expectations/ Peter Carey, Jack Maggs; Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre/ Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea; Homer, Odyssey/ Margaret Attwood, The Penelopiad. Primární texty budou doplněny sekundárními materiály z oblasti postkoloniální a feministické teorie.
Výstupy z učení
Na konci kurzu budou studenti schopni popsat a kriticky analyzovat kultruní a umělecké posuny od kanonických textů k jejich moderním přepisům s důrazem na postkoloniální a feministickou kritiku. Budou též schopni porozumět intertextuálnímu kontextu.

Guidelines:
oral presentations: purpose: to orally, yet clearly articulate complex arguments, use a variety of audiovisual aids, respond to comments form: fifteen to twenty minutes of being in charge of the class, written outline (including a title) and bibliography emailed to the instructor in advance, additional materials pertinent to the topic (optional); 10 min. spent on the presentation, 5-10 min. on the discussion with the class (be ready to respond to comments, you can also prepare questions and elicit discussion) content: your own creative / critical thoughts and discoveries and opinions based on the primary reading and supported by/in dialogue with two or three secondary sources (don’t forget to acknowledge secondary sources!); try to suggest the ways in which the master narrative invites the rewritings; you may also investigate other rewritings of the particular canonical text and introduce one or two in more detail; style: easy to follow argumentation, logical organization (preview, introduction of the thesis and secondary sources, main points, supporting evidence, conclusion, discussion), appropriate pacing, variety of presentation strategies (textual examples and audiovisual aids), interaction with the audience (eye-contact, gestures, rhetorical questions, check-up questions, discussion questions), use of spoken discourse markers (pauses, repetitions and restatements, sign posting and transitions, short sentences, simple words, loud voice, clear articulation), you may refer to your notes occasionally but do not read keywords definitions: the list of potential keywords is posted in the ELF, chose one from the “post-colonial” list and one from the “feminist” list purpose: to research various perspectives, theoretical approaches and historical developments of some of the most recurring concepts in postcolonial and feminist criticisms; to refine critical thinking; form: up to one page, bring a hard copy to class and email to the instructor before the class; content: get acquainted with the various, sometimes contesting, definitions and uses of the term; use scholarly sources only; if applicable, try to suggest how the term developed, who first coined it and in what context; as all of the concepts are very complex, try to express the various and differing perspectives, covering this complexity; try to suggest how this particular concept can be used in critical textual analysis of a primary text; response papers: purpose: to read critically, notice details, take notes when reading, make connections, return to key passages, gain a deeper appreciation of the assigned text(s), clearly formulate one’s own thoughts in writing, get personalized feedback from the instructors, be prepared to participate in class discussion form: one page, not more; double spaced, MLA format, precise and concise title; two to three paragraphs; bring a hard copy to class (4 papers altogether); marked out of 10 points, if you submit the response paper late, you’ll lose 2 points; content: no research, “only” your own creative / critical thoughts and discoveries and opinions based on the primary reading, analytic mini-essay rather than a record of personal impressions, narrow focus (particular themes, images, narrative techniques, characters, relationships, issues, contexts, and so on); style: clear argumentation, logical organization (introduction, main body, conclusion) coherent paragraphs, integrated citations, “academic” language
