(3)(Prereq: ENGL*101 and ENGL*102 with a grade of C or better)This course develops students' focused understanding of literary and/or cultural works by a particular author. Through our close readings and in-depth analyses of the text/s as well as our critical study of the temporal and cultural contexts within which the author's work/s were produced and received, we understand texts as cultural artifacts of their times that reflect the author's and their contemporary society's investments and preoccupations. At the same time, we analyze how our transhistorical and transcultural interest in the work/s of the author are sustained by our ability to engage with the text/s and interpret it/them through diverse critical and theoretical lenses.

(3 credits)(Prereq: ENGL*101 and ENGL*102 with a grade of 'C' or better) This course provides an introduction to discourse analysis, the study of language in context. It looks at what makes a complex stretch of language an interpretable piece of discourse, and examines the structural aspects of how language is used in society as well as how it reflects and shapes our world. It explores how we make sense of what we hear and read, and how we can recognize well-constructed discourse as opposed to that which is jumbled or incoherent. This course examines both the formal and contextual features of discourse and how it is that language users successfully understand what other language users intend to convey. F,S
