SEGUNDO CURSO

14946. HISTORIA DE LA LITERATURA INGLESA II (1700-2000)Asignatura Troncal. Segundo Semestre. 6 créditos

Profs: Manuel González de la Aleja / Antonio Prieto

Esta asignatura intenta poner al estudiante de Filología Inglesa en contacto con una materia troncal, la Literatura Inglesa, que abordará posteriormente con mayor profundidad en el segundo ciclo. Para ello, y en gran medida por ello, el curso pretende ofrecer una panorámica amplia y ordenada cronológicamente de las principales etapas, movimientos, géneros, tendencias, autores y obras de la literatura inglesa. Ello, sin embargo, no implica que se renuncie al análisis y la discusión de obras específicas, o al establecimiento de categorías teóricas (genéricas, formales, etc.) necesarias para dicho análisis. De hecho el curso es antes que nada una iniciación a la lectura, que se desarrollará sobre todo en las clases prácticas de discusión y análisis de las obras de lectura obligatoria que figuran en el programa, pero también en las teóricas a través del comentario de una serie de textos y fragmentos adicionales.

AIMS OF THE COURSEThe aim of the course is to help students reach an advanced level in their grammatical and lexical competence in English, and in the development of the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).

COURSE OUTLINEThe Programme to be covered in this course may be divided into five basic parts:(1) A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO ADVANCED LANGUAGE PATTERNS (2) USE OF ENGLISH(3) READING COMPREHENSION(4) WRITING (5) AURAL AND ORAL PRACTICE

Every single part of the course requires active collaboration from the student both inside and outside class: students are expected to devote time to the preparation and completion of exercise material before attending the lessons. Only in this way, we (students and teachers) will be able to make the most of every lesson.

EVALUATIONThere will be a mid-term exam at the end of the 1st semester to test students’ progress.

5

The final examination will cover all the aspects of the course and will be divided into two parts:(a) a written exam, including Use of English exercises, dictation, reading comprehension

and text production.(b) an oral exam

Prof: Pedro Javier Pardo García (http://web.usal.es/~pardo)

El objetivo básico de esta asignatura es naturalmente introducir al estudiante en la literatura inglesa del período que va de 1700 a nuestros días. Para ello, y teniendo en cuenta que el curso está dirigido a estudiantes de otras lenguas y literaturas, se utilizará un enfoque comparativo, de modo que puedan servirse de su conocimiento de estas literaturas para familiarizar y conocer una literatura extraña, la inglesa, pero también de manera que el conocimiento de la literatura inglesa pueda iluminar o contribuir a un mejor conocimiento de sus respectivas literaturas. Por eso se intentará presentar la literatura inglesa y las obras de la misma seleccionadas en el contexto de la literatura europea y de ciertas obras de otras literaturas nacionales que puedan facilitar su comprensión, así como en el contexto de la tendencia, corriente o movimiento literario a que pertenecen. La asignatura se plantea también como objetivo fundamental el desarrollo de las facultades críticas y analíticas del estudiante mediante una confrontación directa con los textos. Las obras señaladas con un asterisco son obras de lectura voluntaria de las que se hablará en clase. Las obras cuya traducción aparece mencionada pueden leerse en español.

14843 ANÁLISIS DEL DISCURSO EN LENGUA INGLESAAsignatura Optativa. Segundo Semestre. 6 créditos

Profa. Pilar Alonso Rodríguez

ORGANIZACIÓN DEL CURSO

OBJETIVOS

Este curso es una aproximación teórico-práctica al análisis del discurso en lengua inglesa. Se tomarán los conceptos de texto y discurso como unidades básicas de la comunicación verbal y se estudiarán sus componentes semánticos, pragmáticos y cognitivos, haciendo especial hincapié en la interacción que existe entre los mismos y en los aspectos sociales e interpersonales que los determinan.

PLAN DE TRABAJO

Las explicaciones teóricas, basadas en una selección de lecturas teóricas obligatorias, se complementarán en todo momento con la aplicación práctica de los conceptos a textos completos y auténticos en lengua inglesa. Se analizarán muy diversos tipos de textos que permitirán ilustrar el funcionamiento real de estas unidades en el ámbito comunicativo. Dada la importancia del componente práctico de la asignatura, se espera una actitud participativa.

EVALUACIÓN

El examen final podrá ser sobre cualquier aspecto de los tratados durante el curso e incluirá el análisis de un texto o discurso en lengua inglesa.

PROGRAMA

1. Introducción al estudio del texto y del discurso2. El proceso de la comunicación3. Los componentes del texto y del discurso4. Cohesión 5. Coherencia6. Inferencias y estructuras de conocimiento7. Presuposiciones e implicaturas 8. Actos de habla y acciones discursivas9. Principios de cooperación y relevancia10. La recepción del texto: el proceso de interpretación

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will introduce you to the pleasures of exploring fiction, and to the challenges of interpreting, confronting, and discovering human experience. The short story is an incredibly versatile literary form which can deal with many issues, ranging from very personal concerns like identity, sexuality, loss, and family life, all the way through to social issues: for instance, the relationship between individuals and the societies they live in; freedom and unfreedom; gender and race. The short story is also an excellent form to study if you wish to improve your English comprehension and writing. It allows you to read carefully, and to see how writers use the English language, and how they employ various aspects of narrative technique—narrative point of view, the creation of characters, scene building, and much else.

You are expected to actively participate in class discussions and write short papers to demonstrate close reading skills, to express individual interpretation, and to understand the common themes and unique literary characteristics of the genre. You are also encouraged to view films based on the literary selections to enlarge your perceptions of themes, characters, and settings. This course will also introduce you to a basic language of metaphor and symbol, which traditionally underlies and gives a frame of expression to imaginative writing. Class time will be devoted heavily to lecture on these occasions, but otherwise will consist of focused discussions of the readings. The course includes the formal analysis of individual stories and some attention to general literary trends and theories of fiction that have affected the short story in its historical development in America.

LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS

15

The course will meet for 3 hours per week and will consist of a mixture of lectures, student and teacher-led presentations, and tutorials. In the lectures I will discuss some of the narrative techniques this literary form employs. I will also outline some different kinds of short story and provide accessible definitions of important concepts. The remainder of the time will be spent discussing particular stories. A list of these, and the dates on which we will discuss them, will be provided at the beginning of the course.

Journal: You will be required to keep a journal, recording responses to the stories we read.

These responses will also be used to stimulate class discussion. Journal assignments will help you to prepare for class discussion, for writing the paper, and to review for the exam.

Oral Presentation: At the beginning of the semester, you must sign up for one oral presentation, which means you will be responsible for leading class discussion and analysis of a short story.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING

Regular attendance, participation, and class discussion. Although some class time will be taken up with lectures, the majority of the class will involve class discussion. Because much of the material that you will be tested on is generated in class discussion, you are very important not only to your success in this class, but also to the success of others in the class.

The course follows a seminar format; therefore you must complete weekly reading assignments on time and participate actively in class. All texts will be read in English.
