It is very important that you have a copy of the textbook Ways of Reading (4th Edition!).

(Fourth Edition). You will need it, not only for Anàlisi de Textos I but also for Anàlisi de Textos II, both of which are compulsory subjects in Semesters One and Two. In the first semester, we shall be studying the main points in Sections 1-3, although we shall also be looking at other theories which are important for this module.

*Dossier

The dossier contains all the reading texts we will be analysing throughout the course. Fiction, poetry and prose. You can obtain a copy of the Dossier in the Photocopying Room in September. The texts chosen have been selected because they are especially open to different theoretical frameworks.

Many of the classes will be given as seminars, some as lectures. Power Point presentations on various topics will be uploaded on Moodle, also website addresses where you can access interesting and relevant information.

During the course, we shall also see one or two films which will be analysed through theories of "Ways of Looking": the gaze of the camera, landscape, genderscape, language.
