Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the basic terminology and main literary-scientific, cultural, and sociological theories of popular literature and, at the same time, to its position in contemporary mass culture. Students will follow the development of the perception of popular literature in the context of modern literature and culture in general, including the role of censorship and social-political conceptions of given time periods (operations of "exclusion" and "replacement"). Special attention will be paid to the relationship between popular and artistic literature, and the ways that they influence each other and fade into one another; furthermore, the relationship of the field of literary culture to other media, especially to film and television.
Students who complete this course should be able to orient in the field of "non-canonical" literary creation and, at the same time, a significant part of contemporary popular culture.
