Course description: This course provides an overview of Irish history, politics, literature and culture more generally, with the focus on the period from the late-nineteenth century to the present. Particular attention is paid to the intersections of political and cultural impulses that led to the creation of the two states in the twentieth century—the Republic and Northern Ireland—and to understanding how both subsequently operated as states. To do this, the course explores how ideas of what constituted Irish identity have been proposed, have come to assume hegemonic force, have been debated and resisted through political and cultural activities, as well as through modes of historical interpretation.
Objective: The course intends to further students’ skills in understanding how literary and other cultural texts interact with political and historical events. To this end, students will be introduced to some of the major texts in twentieth-century Irish literature and history. They will also be introduced to some of the major debates in Irish Studies such as postcolonialism, revisionism and nationalism.

Course title: American Women’s Writing in the Nineteenth Century  (A, 19. st.)
Subject: Nineteenth-Century American Literature
Instructor: Dr. sc. Jelena Šesnić
ECTS credits: 6
Language: English
Duration: Fall semester
Status: Elective
Course type: 1 period lecture + 2 periods seminar
Prerequisites: Enrolment in the 3rd or 5th semester
Course requirements: Regular attendance; assignments in and outside class (discussion, written tasks, short presentations); seminar paper (6-7 pp, ca 2500 words); continuous evaluation (a mid-term  and a final test).

Course description: The course is an overview of representative texts by and about women in nineteenth-century America. In order better to contextualize the texts, we shall be looking at two traditions informing writing by women that are mutually compatible rather than exclusionary. The one is represented by Rowlandson’s captivity narrative and situates a woman at the centre of the project of nation-building, while the other is exemplified by Rowson’s hugely popular seduction novel, from which the novel writing in the States takes off. Thus the feminine tradition appears to be crucial from the very beginning for the way the American nation describes and represents itself. This argument, however, becomes possible only in the wake of the strong intervention into the field of literary history and literary canon formation enacted by feminist, poststructuralist, new historicist and cultural critics from the 1970s onwards.

Required reading:

Novels/ narratives

1. Mary Rowlandson: The Sovereignty and Goodness of God (1682)
2. Susanna Rowson: Charlotte Temple (1791)
3. Lydia Maria Child: Hobomok (1824)

5. Rebecca Harding Davis: Margret Howth (1861)
6. Frances Harper: Iola Leroy (1893)

Syllabus

Week 1: Two traditions of women’s writing in the USA; historical and cultural contexts of their emergence (Welter’s thesis, competing views). Revisionist interventions into the canon formation.

Week 2: Introduction to Rowlandson.Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative as a formative national text; Richard Slotkin’s notion of „regeneration through violence“

Week 3: Analysis of cultural, political, ethical, and gendered implications of Rowlandson’s captivity

Week 4: Susanna Rowson’s novel as a representative and generative instance of the seduction novel

Week 5: Rowson’s novel in the context of transatlantic cultural exchange and sentimentalism

Week 6: L.M. Child’s Hobomok and the idea of cultural nationalism

Week 7: Hobomok as a revisionst text; politics of race and gender in the novel (Indian and female characters)

Week 8: Mid-term. Introduction to Jacobs’s slave narrative depicting her life in slavery

Week 9: Jacobs’s text in between the domestic, sentimental and seduction novels and representative masculine slave narratives

Week 10: Analysis of narrative and cultural strategies in conjunction with race and gender in Jacobs’s text.

Week 11: Harding Davis’s Margret Howth as a novel of the industralizing America and of the emerging working class.

Week 13: Harper’s Iola Leroy and the post-slavery, post-Reconstruction America. On-going influence of the domestic and sentimental fiction.

Britanski romantizam: poezija (arhiva)

Naziv kolegija: Britanski romantizam: poezija
(raniji naziv kolegija: Poezija engleskog romantizma
)
Nastavnik: dr. sc. Martina Domines Veliki
ECTS bodovi: 6

Jezik: engleski
Trajanje: 3. ili 5  semestar
Status: izborni
Oblik nastave: 1 sat predavanja i 2 sat seminara tjedno
Uvjeti: položen Uvod u studij engleske književnosti ili Uvod u studij engleske književnosti 1 i 2
Okvirni sadržaj predmeta: Kolegij će se kroz stvaralaštvo Blakea, Wordswortha, Coleridgea, Byrona, Shelleyja i Keatsa baviti nekim temeljnim romantičarskim konceptima kao što su pjesničko nadahnuće, sjećanje na prošlost, sublimnost, deizam i misticizam, odnos subjekta i prirode te subjekta i jezika. Pobuna protiv društvenih nepravdi, osjećaj za „malog“ čovjeka, želja za stapanjem s prirodom samo su neke od osnovnih osobina svakog romantičarskog pjesnika koji sam postaje središnjom temom svojih pjesama. Naglasak će biti na romantičarima prve generacije koji su najsnažnije obilježili razdoblje engleskog romantizma.

Cilj: Cilj je kolegija upoznati studente s najznačajnijim pjesnicima engleskog romantizma te povijesnim, kulturnim, političkim i estetskim okružjem u kojem su stvarali i na koje su snažno utjecali. Studenti će imati priliku promišljati i analizirati odabrane pjesme, te će u dijalogu s nastavnikom stvoriti osobno viđenje pjesnika te ideoloških i estetskih implikacija njihove poezije s kraja 18. i prve polovice 19. Stoljeća. U tom će im pomoći niz kritičkih tekstova od tradicionalnih pa sve do post-strukturalističkih pristupa romantizmu.
Studentske obveze: kontinuirano praćenje (prvi kolokvij sredinom semestra i drugi u zadnjem tjednu nastave), u konačnu ocjenu ulazi i seminarski rad, pohađanje nastave, te aktivnost na satu.

Američka književnost i kultura 1: Američki Jug

Naziv kolegija: Američka književnost i kultura 1: Američki Jug
Nastavnik:
dr. sc. Douglas Ambrose, red. prof. (Fulbright gostujući profesor)

ECTS-bodovi: 6
Jezik: engleski
Status: izborni kolegij
Trajanje: 3. ili 5. semestar
Uvjet za upis kolegija: položen Uvod u studij engleske književnosti
_________________________________________________________________________________________

COURSE GOALS:
Tell about the South. What’s it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all.
                                                                                        William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom!

COURSE DISCRIPTION:
In this course we will “tell about the South.”  We will focus on the development and consolidation of the slave society and culture of the Old South and its relation to northern society and culture.  Through selected readings, lectures, and discussions, we will explore how the South developed a distinctive social order that found itself by the 1850s locked in a life and death struggle with the North.  What were the historical origins of this powerful, complex, and changing regional society?  What role did slavery play in southern social, cultural, economic, and political life?  How did a society of different and often antagonistic races and classes maintain stability and order down to the War for Southern Independence?  How did Africans and African Americans accommodate to and resist their enslavement?  How did white and black southerners perceive and relate to each other?  What characterized elite and non-elite white culture?  How did southern literary expression—novels, poetry, scholarship, religious literature—both participate in a broad “American” culture and reflect a distinct “Southern” cultural movement?  By addressing these questions, and others, we will gain a better understanding of how this region and its people affected the course of American history and culture.
FORMAT:
Although primarily a lecture course, I encourage questions and comments at all times.  On certain occasions, we will conduct class entirely as a discussion-based seminar.  Students should always complete all readings for the week before the Wednesday meeting so that they can offer informed and thoughtful contributions to class discussions.
ASSIGNMENTS:
You will have two written assignments, each of approximately 1000-1250 words. There will also be a final examination.
EVALUATION:
I will evaluate your performance based on your attendance, participation, and performance on the papers and the exam.
REQUIRED READINGS:
Nearly all of the materials for the course will be either on the class’s Omega site or available online.  Students should obtain a hard copy of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

 

Američki roman 19. stoljeća (arhiva)

Nastavnica: Dr. sc. Jelena Šesnić, izv. prof.

ECTS bodovi: 6
Jezik: engleski
Trajanje: zimski semestar (3. ili 5.) / ljetni semestar (4.ili 6.)
Status: izborni
Oblik nastave: 1P+2S
Uvjeti za upis kolegija: Uvod u književnost
Cilj i sadržaj kolegija: Roman je bez sumnje reprezentativna narativna vrsta u američkoj književnosti.  Tijekom 19. stoljeća to je i jedno od glavnih oružja nacionalne kulturne politike te brojni pisci nastoje proizvesti egzemplarni nacionalni tekst. Istodobno, mnogi pisci inzistiraju da zapravo pišu „romanse“. U čemu je razlika? U kolegiju ćemo razmatrati osnovne žanrove i podžanrove američkoga romana u 19. st. s posebnom pažnjom na formalnim i sadržajnim značajkama pojedinih žanrova. Ujedno ćemo nastojati pokazati na koji način se kroz pisanje romana i metakritičke komentare uspostavlja svijest o nacionalnom kulturnom prostoru te ulozi i značaju romanopisca, kroz rekonstrukciju dijaloga ili prijepora između samih pisaca te pisaca i kritičara (manifesti, pisma, predgovori, književna kritika, eseji).

Romani:
1. Herman Melville: Moby-Dick (1851; izabrana poglavlja)
2. Edgar Allan Poe: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838)
3. Harriet Beecher Stowe: Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852)
4. William Dean Howells: A Hazard of New Fortunes (1889)

Tematske cjeline:
1. Problematika razvoja nacionalne književnosti i uloga romana

2. Idealni američki pisac: R W Emerson, „The Poet“
3. Pregled teorija američkoga romana (opreka romansa/roman; simbolizam i anti-realizam; „izuzetnost“ i „postkolonijalnost“ žanra u američkome kontekstu; realizam i roman).
4. Stilsko-žanrovske odrednice i okvirna tipologija američkoga romana u 19. st.
5. Teorijsko-analitički modeli sukladni analizi različitih tipova romana (mitsko-simbolička škola, naratologija, psihoanaliza, novi historizam, poststrukturalizam, itd.)
6. Primjer filozofskog/enciklopedijskog romana (H. Melville: Moby-Dick)
7. Primjer romana strave/avanturističkog romana (E. A. Poe: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym)
8. Primjer sentimentalnog romana (H. B. Stowe: Uncle Tom’s Cabin)
9. Primjer realističkog romana (W. D. Howells: A Hazard of New Fortunes)

Opis/ Sadržaj kolegija: Kolegij će biti posvećen proučavanju odabranog broja Shakespeareovih drama iz perspective novih teorija književnosti i kulture. Nove strategije čitanja razvijene u nekoliko posljednjiih desetljeća (novi historizam, kulturni materijalizam, feminizam, postkolonijalizam) bit će u središtu interesa u uvodnom dijelu kolegija. Svaka od odabranih drama bit će popraćena insertima iz odgovarajućih filmskih verzija, a diskusije će biti usredotočene na odnos između teksta i njegove vizualne prezentacije. Posebna pažnja bit će posvećena reinskripcijskim praksama, kako u tekstualnoj kritici tako i u filmskim adaptacijama.
Ciljevi kolegija: Osnovni je cilj kolegija rasvijetliti tradicionalno razumijevanje i čitanje drama, kao i njihovo suvremeno tumačenje. Dodatni je cilj preispitati kako Shakespeareovi tekstovi funkcioniraju u mediju nedostupnom u Shakespeareovo doba i na koji su način i tekstualni i vizualni medij povezani s našim suvremenim interesima.
Studentske obaveze: Kontinuirano praćenje. Osim redovitog pohađanja kolegija i aktivnog sudjelovanja u nastavi, studentice i studenti tijekom semestra pišu po jedan seminarski rad (koji i izlažu na satu) te dva kolokvija (u obliku testa s kratkim faktografskim pitanjima o elizabetanskom razdoblju i po jednog ili dva eseja).

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Cilj kolegija:
The period spans the decades from the 1820s to approximately the 1860s marked by the flowering of national literature in post-revolutionary times; the adoption and americanization of European ideas in so-called New England Transcendentalism, and the emergence of African American voices. Alternatively called the American Renaissance, the period testifies to the coming-of-age of American literature. The texts are a representative selection of the unprecedented surge of creative energy that left no aspect of social and personal life untouched (from religion, education, women’s rights to politics and abolition), and will thus guide is in our examination of the past to which the American present owes so much.

Engleski romantizam

Dr. sc. Ljiljana Ina GJURGJAN, redoviti profesor
Naziv kolegija
: Engleski romantizam
3. ili 5.
, 4. ili 6. semestar, zimski, ljetni

ECTS bodovi: 6
Jezik: engleski
Trajanje:1 semestar
Status: izborni
Oblik nastave: 1 sat predavanja i 2 sat seminara tjedno
Uvjeti: Upisan 3. ili 5., 4. ili 6. semestar (zimski, ljetni) studij
Ispit: Kontinuirano praćenje. Ocjena se izvodi iz ocjena dvaju kolokvija (jedan tijekom semestra i jedan na kraju), prezentacije na satu koja se predaje u obliku seminarskog rada (oko 1500 riječi) te redovnog pohađanja nastave i rada na satu.  Svi dijelovi ocjene moraju biti pozitivni da bi student/ica dobio/la zaključnu ocjenu.
Sadržaj: Engleski romantizam označava početak moderniteta, koja se očituje u novoj, ekološkoj osjetljivosti prema prirodi, ali i u novome shvaćanju subjekta, koji više nije stabilan, već se stalno preispituje i redefinira. U seminaru će naglasak biti na etičkom aspektu romantizma, veličanju Napoleona i libertinstva te pobuni protiv društvenih nepravdi i licemjerja kod Blakea, Byrona, Shelleya. U njihovim ćemo djelima i biografskim zapisima istraživati moderni osjećaj osamljenosti i neshvaćenosti te želju za boljim i pravednijim društvenim odnosima. Druga tema bit će estetika romantizma, koja s obzirom na klasicizam predstavlja kopernikanski obrat. Shvaćanje odnosa umjetnika,  prirode i umjetničkoga djela analizirat ćemo u djelima Wordswortha, Coleridgea, Shelleya i Keatsa. Temeljni koncept estetike romantizma, pojam sublimnoga, manifestira se kao kult prirode. No, motiv prirode u romantizmu se često vezuje uz pojam čudovišnoga, pa ćemo u seminaru istraživati i početke horrora u romanu Mary Shelley Frankenstein ili moderni Prometej te u Coleridgeovoj poeziji, kao i u stvaralaštvu američkog autora E. A. Poea.
Cilj: Utvrđivanje i proširivanje razumijevanje kritičkih promišljanja književnoga teksta («pomno čitanje», postmodernistička, kulturološka, feministička kritika); uvid u osnovne kulturološke koncepte 19. stoljeća u opreci prema  klasicističkoj estetici i logocentričkom poimanju svijeta.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Sadržaj: Kolegij nastoji ukazati na neke bitne probleme američkog postmodernizma, kao što su redefiniranje odnosa između “popularne” i “visoke” kulture, preispitivanje odnosa povijesti i fikcije, te mogućnost iznalaženja kritičke pozicije u kasnokapitaklističkom društvu. Kolegij će se baviti odabranim romanima američkog postmodernizma i njihovim interpretacijama i interakcijama s popularnim formama (tekstualnim, vizualnim, glazbenim) koje mogu biti shvaćene ili kao polje za iščitavanje autentičnog izraza “naroda” ili kao bitno neautentičan izraz otuđujuće kulturne industrije. Problemi koji će se provlačiti kroz kolegij uključuju pitanje distinkcije masovne i popularne kulture; konzumerizma; kulturne industrije i kulturne amnezije; simulakra; kulture kao pitanja identiteta; globalizacije i amerikanizacije.

Cilj: Upoznati student/ic/e s povijesnim periodom američkom postmodernizma, relevantnom teorijskom literaturom i problemima. Studenti/ce trebaju steći znanje o osnovnim kulturnim, društvenim i političkim kretanjima razdoblja te to znanje primijeniti na kritičko čitanje odabranih romana.

Literatura:
Ishmael Reed, Mumbo Jumbo ili Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down
Willam Gibson, Neuromancer
Don DeLillo, White Noise
Art Spiegelman, Maus
Douglas Coupland, Generation X
Sherman Alexie, Reservation Blues

Uz navedene romane, studenti/ce moraju redovito čitati tekstove iz Readera koji će biti dostupan prije početka nastave. Reader će sadržavati izbor književnopovijesnih i teorijskih tekstove relevantnih za problematiku kolegija. Ti su tekstovi temelj za pismene kolokvije putem kojih će se kontinuirano evaluirati studentski rad.

Način polaganja ispita: Ocjena se temelji na jednom pismenom radu tijekom semestra, te na kontinuiranoj evaluaciji putem kolokvija.

Course description: This course provides an overview of Irish history, politics, literature and culture more generally, with the focus on the period from the late-nineteenth century to the present. Particular attention is paid to the intersections of political and cultural impulses that led to the creation of the two states in the twentieth century—the Republic and Northern Ireland—and to understanding how both subsequently operated as states. To do this, the course explores how ideas of what constituted Irish identity have been proposed, have come to assume hegemonic force, have been debated and resisted through political and cultural activities, as well as through modes of historical interpretation.

Uvjeti za upis kolegija: upisan treći ili peti, četvrti ili šesti semestar
Cilj kolegija: Kolegij se fokusira na opis i analizu prikazivačkih praksi konstitutivnih za viktorijansku kulturu, u interaktivnom odnosu prema književnosti. Cilj mu je stoga studentima ponuditi uvid u dominantne moduse viktorijanskih prirodnih znanosti, socijalne teorije i vizualnih umjetnosti, prije svega u dijalogu s retorikom viktorijanskoga romana. Prorada tih sadržaja važna je posebno stoga što upravo viktorijanska kultura snažno participira u genealogiji suvremene britanske kulture, ali i problemskih čvorova konstituentnih za suvremenu kulturnu politiku i humanističke znanosti uopće (npr. pitanje postkolonijalnosti); stoga je u fokusu kolegija upravo razvoj analitičkih sposobnosti studenata. Nastava u kolegiju uključivat će i predavanje i seminarski tip rada, a konačna ocjena objedinit će rezultate eseja na izabranu temu, te finalnog pismenog ispita.

Način polaganja ispita: Ocjena se temelji na kontinuiranoj pismenoj evaluaciji (pišu se dva kolokvija i seminarski rad) te na redovnom pohađanju nastave i participaciji u diskusijama na satu.
Način praćenja kvalitete i uspješnosti izvedbe predmeta: Anonimna studentska anketa na kraju semestra.
Cilj kolegija: Historiografskom analizom dramskih tekstova i kazališne tradicije pokušat ćemo rekonstruirati društveni kontekst iz kojeg je iznikla engleska srednjovjekovna i renesansna drama te gospodarske i političke interese i stavove naručitelja odnosno autora. Ikonografskom analizom crkvene arhitekture i namještaja, nezaobilaznih u izvedbi uskrsne liturgije, prvog dramskog oblika u srednjovjekovnoj Evropi, pokušat ćemo dokazati da je napredna agrarna ekonomija benediktinskih samostana, u okrilju kojih je liturgijska drama iznikla u karolinško doba, bitno utjecala na razvoj trgovine vunom i tekstilom na kojemu će se i engleska ekonomija temeljiti još stoljećima. Naslijedivši iz liturgijske procesije prostornu konfiguraciju pozornice i gledališta, obrtnici i trgovci koji su o praznicima glumili u misterijima njome će se poslužiti da simbolički prisvoje vlast nad općinama slobodnih trgovišta gdje su posjedovni odnosi bili narušeni u korist redovnika i fratara koji su povrh toga od revoltiranih građana ubirali daće. Konotacije koje su s vremenom u engleskoj kulturi, pa tako i u mirakulima i hagiografijama, zadobili geografski pojmovi poput Levanta/ Bliskog Istoka i Istočnog Mediterana te Baltika dokazuju sve veću važnost tih trgovačkih koridora za englesku ekonomiju u petnaestom stoljeću, a iz tekstova šesnaestostoljetnih i sedamnaestostoljetnih komedija nadaje se i ključno mjesto prekooceanske trgovine robljem u to doba, kao i strah od turske flote, koja će Veneciji oduzeti trgovinski monopol na Mediteranu. Dok moraliteti tržišnoj ekonomiji i nacionalnim interesima suprotstavljaju idealiziranu sliku feudalnih odnosa, šesnaestostoljetne komedije izražavaju merkantilističku kritiku uvoza nauštrb izvozu u doba inflacije diljem Evrope, a sedamnaestostoljetna građanska drama kritizira uspon na društvenoj ljestvici trgovaca koji su se obogatili gusarenjem, prekooceanskom trgovinom i trgovinom robljem.
Uloga kolegija u ukupnom nastavnom planu: Proučavajući dramsku i kazališnu tradiciju polaznice će uvježbati vještinu tematske analize književnog teksta, steći naviku kontekstualiziranja dramskog teksta i kazališne izvedbe unutar društveno—političkih okolnosti te argumentiranog dokazivanja.
Metode: Kolegij kombinira metode predavanja i seminarskog rada, pri čemu se će se u učionici (u onom dijelu nastavnog procesa koji je zamišljen kao predavanje) kao i na ispitu polaznice i polaznici poticati na strukturiranu raspravu o unaprijed zadanim temama, omeđenu razumijevanjem prethodno zadanog materijala.
