ENGL 4680 - Continental Literature

Institution:

Austin Peay State University

Subject:

English

Description:

Our primary focus this semester in this course will be on literature not as a knowledge base, but as a skill. In particular, we will be examining texts from the perspective of semiotics which is a discipline that is concerned not with "what some thing means", but why things mean and how things mean. As we will be dealing with literatures from multiple language and literary traditions, our focus will be on the common human element as opposed to cultural ideas. The one common element which humanity possesses as a species is its body; thus, we will look at the way in which our sense of body effects our sense of meaning.
