Students are highly recommended to buy the course text "Ways of Reading" (see list above for details) in the specified edition, as it will form the backbone of the two 'Anàlisi de Texts' courses in the second year. Be careful to buy the 4th edition, if you are buying it new. If you buy it second-hand, any addition will do, but the later edition the better. There are copies in the library, but every theory class will make reference to the book, and you will be expected to have read the relevant chapters/sections before each theory class.

Students are required to buy the set texts which will be specified on the first day of class, in the recommended editions Students who use other editions, or use copies off the internet may be setting themselves at a disadvantage to the members of the class who follow these instructions. The film text will be one that is available through the CRAI, and in all likelihood, freely available on the internet. There will be an anthology of additional poetry texts made available through the Campus Catalunya photocopy service, which is a compulsory purchase for students following the course. It will be available from the first day of the course.
