Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar will mainly deal with novels which have islands as their settings: Defoe, Robinson Crusoe, Ballantyne, The Coral Island, Golding, Lord of the Flies, and Coetzee, Foe. Texts such as Shakespeare's The Tempest or Arnold's "To Marguerite" or "Dover Beach" from other genres will be used to fill up this list.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The idea is to show that islands which seem to form worlds of their own and exist apart from our world, don't exist in an ideological vacuum but are closely related to our life and are mirrors of our own society.

Examination topics

Postcolonial theory, structuralist approach; oral presentation; all-class discussion of mandatory readings; seminar paper (10-12 pages) or final written test.

Reading list

The novels mentioned above are available as paperbacks. The same applies to Shakespeare's The Tempest (New Cambridge Shakespeare, New Arden Shakespeare).
