1. INTRODUCTION

a) The programmes offered by the Department of English Language and Literature have an important role for several reasons: 1) During the period of European integrational processes, the understanding of other cultures is important for the quality and speed of those processes. British, Irish, American, and other anglophone cultures occupy positions of priority, because it is from their position that the cultural and conceptual judgements that define the fundamental assumptions of integration and serve as the starting point in negotiations between the national and integrational cultures are formed. One of the key roles in these processes will be that of well-educated English majors as direct participants thanks to their knowledge of the nuances of the language and also due to their understanding and acceptance of fundamental democratic and ethical assumptions for which the programme prepares them in its literature, cultural, and linguistic courses. 2) European integration presupposes the stressing of multiculturalism and hybridity. Therefore, the programmes of study at the English Department are designed to encourage students to comparatively recognize and value cultural differences. For this reason, in addition to English language and literature, the department also offers a complete programme of study in Scandinavian language and culture, as well as courses in Hibernian (Irish), Australian, Canadian, women's, and ethnic studies. 3) English as a lingua franca is important not only for communication with other economic and cultural entities; it is most importantly a means of spreading one's own cultural horizons. For this reason, educating future teachers in the newest methods of language learning, at a professional and ethical level, is one of the English Department's top priorities. Equally important is the department's translation programme, which prepares its students to be true bridges between cultures. b) The Department of English Language and Literature has vast experience in carrying out the proposed programme. In addition to its current four-year undergraduate programmes of study for scholars and teachers, the department also offers a postgraduate programme in American Studies and a professional translation programme. The department's teaching staff also participate in post-graduate programmes in linguistics, literature, and education, as well as in numerous research projects. c) The graduate programmes of study in the Department of English Language and Literature will be of interest to businesses and cultural and government institutions, primarily to the Ministry of Science and Education and the Ministry of European Integration. d) The programme will be conducted almost exclusively in English, and therefore it will be completely open to students from other European universities. At the same time, a large number of the courses will be similar to and/or interchangeable with courses offered at other English departments throughout Europe.

LIST OF COURSES IN THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME

I. LITERARY-CULTURAL COURSES II. LINGUISTIC COURSES

I. LITERARY-CULTURAL COURSES Course coordinator: Janja Ciglar-Žanić Instructors : teaching assistants Course title: Introduction to the Study of English Literature Status: compulsory ECTS credits: 6 Language: English Examination: written exam Course contents: The course consists of two parts: the first part focuses on the different literary genres using a selection of narrative, dramatic and lyric texts. The second part surveys the main critical trends of the twentieth century from Russian Formalism onwards. A general overview of the history of English and American literatures is also given. Objectives: To introduce students to the methodology of studying literature and familiarise them with the basic literary-critical terms. Work on selected literary texts enables student to develop their reading and writing skills. Obligatory reading: M. H. Abrams. A Glossary of Literary Terms. P. Barry. Beginning Theory. T. Eagleton.

Course coordinator: Ljiljana Ina GJURGJAN, associate professor Instructors: Ljiljana Ina GJURGJAN and Martina DOM INES, teaching assistant Subject: Modern British Literature Course title: English Romanticism and its context ECTS credits: 6 Language: English Duration : 1 semester Status: elective Course type: 2 hours of lecture and 1 hour of seminar Prerequisites: Introduction to Literature Examination: Written 80%, work in class 20% Course description: Aesthetically and ideologically English Romanticism is characterized by Copernican shift in relation to Cartesian logocentrism. As the analysis of poetry and essays of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats as well as of Blake will show, it is characterized by subjectivism, the cult of poetic inspiration and the notion of sublime. The subject becomes the central topic of poetry, and is actualized through interaction with nature, its alienation from nature manifesting itself as monstrosity. (Coleridge, M. Shelley). The English Romantic poets are also concerned about social and ethical issues (glorification of Napoleon and libertinism, religious scepticism) and are critical of social injustice (Blake, Shelley, Byron). Objective: Developing reading and critical skills and the ability to conduct individual research. Understanding Romanticism as a period in which modern understanding of the subject as an active participant in ethical and national terms is formed.

Course description: Critical works and essays of British Modernism shall be analyzed, primarily those of James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and S. Beckett, but also documentary texts and films bearing testimony to the period, primarily those on M. Collins and E. de Valera. In addition to the understanding of Modernism as a literary and cultural phenomenon, we shall also discuss the role of literature in stateless nations and the relation between language and nationality. In the conclusion, we shall examine the impact of the Modernist rhetoric on the understanding of the situation in Northern Ireland today. Objective: The course will attempt to develop the reading skills and the awareness of a text as a literary and cultural phenomenon. We shall also study the Irish culture at the beginning of the nineteenth century as paradigmatic for the resistance to the European-type colonialism.

Number of credits: 6 Language of instruction: English Prerequisites: enrolment in the third semester Exam: the final grade will be based on essay marks and on the final written exam. Course description: The course is structured as an analysis of historiographic metafiction, a genre formative of the poetics of postmodernism. Building on the positions of Hayden White's and Dominick LaCapra's metahistory, Linda Hutcheon defines historiographic metafiction as the narration about the past which stages the analysis of its own structure and reference, and is therefore constituted as a convergence of fiction, history and theory. The course focuses on the analysis of the novels formative of the genre (yet deconstructing it in the process), and of its existing descriptions (Linda Hutcheon, Brian McHale), with a special emphasis on the genre’s interest in the historicity of knowledge, the accumulation of symbolic capital, the process of social legitimation and the politics of representation. Classes will be organized as lectures and as seminars.

Course description: The course provides a survey of the history and theory of the anglophone novel. The required reading includes representative novels from the beginning of the 18th century to the late 2oth century (for instance, Defoe, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Morrison, Coetzee), that is, from the rise of the novel as a literary genre to the postmodern novel. Equally important to our discussions will be secondary literature, chosen to facilitate discussion on the central questions of the theory of the novel, such as the issues of periodization, narrative technique, genre, characterization, and sociology of the novel. Objective: The main goal of the course is to introduce students to a complex problematic of the history and theory of the anglophone novel. At the same time, the course requires a high level of student participation in research related activities, that is, in compiling and working

10

with secondary sources, which means that students will have an opportunity to develop individual research skills of putting together critical bibliographies. A good part of our work will focus on improving the skills of written analysis of literary texts, especially with regard to using secondary sources.

2. FUNDAMENTAL LINGUISTIC COURSES Course title: Introduction to the Linguistic Study of English

Course coordinator: Višnja Josipović Smojver, Associate Professor

Instructor: Mateusz-Milan Stanojević

ECTS credits: 6

Language: English

Semester: 1st (winter)

Status: compulsory

Form of instruction: 4 lectures per week

Prerequisites: enrolled as student of English language and literature

Examination: written exam (15 fill-in-the-blanks questions and a 500-word

essay dealing with one of two assigned topics)

Course contents: The course deals with basic topics in general linguistics and a

linguistic description of the English language. The

20

introductory part of the course defines language based on its

unique properties, and provides the foundations of a

structuralist description of language, i.e. synchrony and

diachrony, prescriptivism and descriptivism, language and

speech, the linguistic sign and its properties, double

articulation and syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The

central part of the course deals with core linguistic

disciplines: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,

pragmatics and the history of language. The first five of these

disciplines are dealt with synchronically, which includes their

definition, type of linguistic analysis most frequently used,

and examples from English. The description is based on

structuralist foundations, expanded by ideas from other

linguistic theories, especially generative linguistics (in

morphology and syntax) and functionalism (in semantics and

pragmatics). The last topic in this part of the course is

diachronic, and it explains historical changes on all levels of

linguistic analysis, with examples based on the history of

English. The last part of the course tackles multidisciplinary

approaches to language, describing ways in which

contemporary linguistics sees the relationship of language

and society (sociolinguistics), language and culture

(anthropological linguistics), language and mind

(psycholinguistics) and, finally, language acquisition and

teaching.

Objectives: At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to

explain basic theoretical issues concerning human language

in general and English in particular, which serves as a

foundation for other linguistic courses in the program.

Secondly, the student is expected to critically comment on

various linguistic theories. Finally, the student is expected to

be able to demonstrate certain basic skills in conducting

linguistic research.

Prerequisites: The students have to pass the exam in Introduction to the Linguistic Study of the English Language

Examination: written exam

Contents: This course deals with problems in defining sentence and with systematic analysis of various types of English clauses and sentences through theory-independent study of syntactic and semantic relations between different parts of sentence. The students analyze various phenomena in simple and complex sentences, such as negation, coordination, subordination, coreferentiality, passive, etc. Particular emphasis is placed on syntactic and semantic characteristics of predicate arguments, as well as on the relationship between grammatical relations and semantic roles.

Objectives: The goal of this course is to introduce the students to the conceptual and methodological preconditions for the description and syntactic analysis of language so that they can comprehend the ways in which not only English, but any other natural language functions.

Examination: written exam

Course contents: The course introduces students to the complex issues of meaning: 1) on the level of lexemes or words, 2) on the paradigmatic level, or the vocabulary structure and 3) to the relationship between semantics and syntax, or the relationships on the syntagmatic level. Basic traditional

23

semantic concepts are discussed, such as homonymy, synonymy, polisemy, antonymy, as well as traditional theoretical approaches such as componential analysis and field theory. Particular attention is paid to the traditional approach to metaphor and metonymy, with an introduction to the new views of these language phenomena arising in cognitive semantics. The complexity of the relationship between semantics and syntax, or meaning on the syntagmatic level, is analyzed from the level of the sentence to the smaller syntagmatic units such as collocations.

Objectives: The objective of the course is to introduce students to the complexities of meaning phenomena, as well as to different theoretical frames, both traditional and contemporary, used to explain these phenomena.

Course title: Phonetics and Phonology Instructor: prof. dr. Višnja Josipović Smojver ECTS credits: 6 Language: English Semester: 6th (summer) Status: compulsory Form of instruction: lecture, 4 hours per week Prerequisites: there are no special prerequisites for taking up this course,

except that the student has to be regularly enrolled in the semester in which the course is taught.

Examination: written exam Course contents: Students are taught the fundamental notions of contemporary

phonetics and phonology. The course starts with a survey of the basic notions of articulatory phonetics, with special emphasis on the standard pronunciation varieties of British and American English (RP and GenAm respectively).This is followed by an oveview of suprasegmental phenomena in English. After this, the students are familiarized with the basic tenets of generative phonology, which are illustrated primarily with reference to English and Croatian examples. Students are taught to formulate the most important rules of lexical and post-lexical phonology of English.

Objectives: Students should learn to approach English pronunciation

descriptively, as opposed to the earlier prescriptive approach,

24

which they were used to in the course of pre-university English learning. In order to develop this kind of approach, i.e., to learn how to describe English pronunciation phenomena in a scientific way, trough this course the student should develop the ability of selective listening and master the basic notions and terms of phonological and phonetic description.

1. GRADUATE STUDIES IN ENGLISH SPECIALISING IN LITERATURE

a) ENGLISH LITERATURE AND CULTURE – single major and double major programme b) AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE - single major and double major programme

Description of the graduate programme

The specialization in Literature and Culture of the Graduate Programme in English Language and Literature has a duration of four semesters. The prerequisites to enrolment are completion of the undergraduate programme in English, in addition to the fulfilment of special conditions as decided by the English Department. Within this specialization, students can choose to focus on English literature and culture, which includes anglophone (post-colonial) literatures and cultures, or on American literature and culture. Students can study this programme either as a single major or as one part of the double major. The goal of this programme is the acquisition of knowledge and skills in connection with the learning and understanding of the particularities of the language and cultural histories of a variety of cultures (American, English, and other anglophone cultures); the development of the skills of ''close reading'' and other critical methods of textual interpretation; the contextualization of texts in their historical and cultural context; and the understanding of the historical or psychological motivations of the behaviour of characters; in addition to the recognition of the specific values of individual cultures and their historical conditioning both in literature and in literary criticism and theory. A broader goal of the programme is to develop the intellectual and ethical abilities necessary for the solution of highly complicated tasks that require a solid education in the humanities, a tolerant attitude toward cultural differences, and highly ethical criteria. Graduates will be qualified for culturally related jobs in the media, in diplomatic and other government services, and in public and private institutions that require a knowledge of the English language and anglophone cultures, creativity, communicative competence, the ability to carry out complicated tasks, and the ability to manage teamwork. After a student has accumulated 60 ECTS credits (for English as a double major) or 90 ECTS credits (for English as a single major), writes his or her final thesis, and fulfils any other conditions set by either the department or the faculty, he or she will be granted the title of Master of Arts in English – English Literature and Culture or Master of Arts in English - American Literature and Culture.

A) ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (INCLUDING POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURE AND CULTURES) Instructor : Janja Ciglar-Žanić Course title: English Baroque Poetry Type of course: elective Number of credits: 6 Language of instruction: English Exam: written Prerequisites: Completed BA in English. Course contents: The course focuses on English poetry of the first half of the 17th century. It is organized around the premise that this poetry is dominated by the poetic conventions of the European Baroque. As this premise is still considered controversial in the context of Anglo-American critical practice, special attention is paid to a precise definition of concepts such as Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, and Metaphysical Poetry. Comparisons are made with poetical texts from other European literatures. Obligatory reading: The Metaphysical Poets. Edited by Helen Gardner. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1957. From Donne to Marvel.

30

Language of instruction: English Exam: written Prerequisites: Completed BA in English Course contents: Postcolonial literatures – defined as those literatures which in the course of their histories experienced colonization – are becoming a frequent topic of critical interest. Since postcolonial literatures represent an encounter between different cultures of which one is dominant and the other subordinate, the discursive strategies of these literatures are directed at the subversion of the hegemonic cultural stereotypes and on the preservation or reinforcement of cultural identity. The course will draw on the interdisciplinary theoretical legacies of the recent decades. Attention will also be paid to the complex relationship between postcolonialism and postmodernism.

Name of instructor: Ivan Lupić Course title: Poetry of the English Renaissance Type of course: elective Semester: 7th or 8th Number of credits: 6 Language of instruction: English Prerequisites: completed BA in English Exam: written Course contents: The course offers an overview of the so-called “golden age” of English literary culture: generically diverse literary texts will be considered in relation to their original literary, ideological, cultural and political contexts. Our study of the literature of the period will be governed by some of the key publications of the century: from Tottel’s Miscellany of 1557, to Spenser’s The Shepheardes Calender of 1579 and the sudden outpour of sonnet sequences in the 1590s. The seminar will insist on reading literary texts in old rather than modern spelling. Apart from the well-established literary figures, such as Wyatt, Surrey, Sidney, Spenser and Shakespeare, the course will include the work of several women poets as well as the texts of the few poets whose interests diverge from the mainstream literature of the English Renaissance as it is conventionally understood. Objectives of the course: Familiarise students with English Renaissance literature and with the current state of Renaissance scholarship. Enable students to reflect critically on early modern texts.

Instructor : Tamara Petrić, research/ teaching assistant. Subject: English medieval and early renaissance drama Course: Medieval Origins of English Renaissance Drama Type of course: seminar. Number of credits: 5. Language of instruction: English. Exam: written exam and assignment. This course is assessed by coursework (i. e. one written assignment/ seminar paper, which makes up to 30% of a student’s final grade) and examination (i. e. a written exam, which makes up the remaining 70%). The exam will be based upon readings, class lectures, discussions, and any additional presentations (films, transparencies, slides, etc.). Exams will be composed of several formats: identification, short answer, and essay. You are responsible for all material covered in class. Prerequisites: none. Course contents: The course is historically based and deals with English drama from the (mostly late) Middle Ages to early Tudor drama: medieval mysteries and miracles, plays of

32

the fall, nativity plays, triumph and eschatological plays, medieval and early renaissance moralities and interludes, renaissance drama. Course objectives: The module will briefly introduce students to the beginnings of English drama in the liturgical drama, the Quem Qaeritis play and Passion play. It will then move on to its main focus: vernacular drama. Close attention will be paid to a range of different texts classified as late medieval dramatic genres (Mystery and Morality plays) and early Renaissance drama (morality and interlude). Finally, several representatives of classical dramatic genres in the early Renaissance (comedy and tragedy) will be closely examined. A series of lectures or seminars will enable students to understand the literary ad historical background to these works. The main aim will be to identify the ways in which early dramatists employ the dramatic medium for the attainment of goals or expression of issues of social interest, such as communal consolidation through ritual on the one hand, and anarchy and containment through play on the other. Underlying this approach is the awareness of the dual influence of scriptural sources and the folk play on the above dramatic genres, as well as their relation to the conditions of early staging and audiences. By the end of the course students should have acquired new knowledge concerning the beginnings of English drama and new insights into the range of medieval dramatic genres employed in the development of classical dramatic genres of the early Renaissance. The students should also have developed skills in the close reading of dramatic texts. In addition to the ability to write critically about medieval and early Renaissance drama in independent essays, students should have acquired speaking skills, as well as skills in library research.

Some of the authors discussed are Miles Franklin, Barbara Baynton, Henry Lawson, Patrick White, Murray Bail, Frank Moorhouse, Barbara Jeffries, David Malouf, Tim Winton, etc. The course also includes analysis of a selection of Aboriginal literary texts in English by authors such as Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Mudrooroo and Sally Morgan. Some texts are analyzed in the framework of their cinematic adaptations in view of discussing different appropriations of landscape in Australian literature and film. Students are also expected to read a selection of literary essays from the field of postcolonial theory of culture in order to master basic theoretical apparatus for analyzing Australian and other postcolonial literatures. Some of the key critics included are Edward Said, Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, Helen Tiffin, Robert Frazer, Homi K. Bhabha, etc. Course objective: Make students aware of the existence of Anglophone literatures not belonging to the so-called canonic literatures in English (British and American) whose place of utterance is different which is mirrored in the works of Australian authors.

Type of course: Elective graduate course in literature Number of credits: 5 No. of contact hours: 30 Examination method: 2h written exam (100%) Continuous assessment method: 3500word seminar (80%) + oral presentation (20%) Course description: The course introduces the problems of abrogation and appropriation of English and Western literary devices by native Australian and Canadian authors. Their works are placed in and analyzed against a specific historical and cultural context contributing to their colonized status. Selected text are used to raise the issues such as “problematic” transition from oral to written text, problems of “white” form and “indigenous” content, notion of counter-reality and counter-history, as well as reasons why both literatures still contain works belonging to the domain of the so-called protest writing. Finally, the course will include discussion on the current status of such writing in the wider frame of postcolonial literatures. The course will also be accompanied by documentaries and PowerPoint presentations revealing cultural heritage of North American Indians and Australian Aborigines. Course objective: Make students aware of the existence of the neglected corpus of indigenous writing on the territories of two former British (French) colonies and of a highly problematic relationship between white and indigenous population of Australia and Canada. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the complexity of the terms such as colonialism, imperialism, postcolonialism and neocolonialism when applied to the texts written by twice colonized peoples.

Type of lecture: seminar Entry Requirements: Degree in undergraduate study. Examination: 2-hour written end-term exam (100%), continual assessment: 3500 word essay 80% and an oral presentation 20% Number of lectures: 30 Course Description: This literary seminar will give the students an overview of historical, social and cultural aspects of the eighteenth century England with a special focus on those social-historical characteristics which have aided the development of the modern novel in its present form. Within such a broad context the representative authors of the English eighteenth century as well as their novels (like Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, Gulliver’s Travels, Pamela, Joseph Andrews, Tristram Shandy, to name only a few) will be introduced to the students and analysed in class. The course will also, from the theoretical point of view, describe and analyse the major characteristics of the genre of the novel as well as those of its subgenres which existed on the literary scene of the eighteenth century. Also, the seminar will give insight into the phenomenon of the contemporary popularity of the genre of the novel in the audience while at the same time witnessing its non-acceptance into the “highbrow” literature, which led to the need of auto-legitimation of the genre. Apart from the already mentioned approaches to the eighteenth century novel, the seminar will also discuss the theoretical aspects of the novel (narratological and axiological aspects of the novel, generic limitations of the novelistic genre, novelistic worlds, worldviews and ideologies). Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to introduce to the students one of the periods of the English literature and to familiarise them with the generic characteristics of the novel on a given number of novels.

36

comparing the repertory of the Croatian National Theater under guidance of Stjepan Miletić to the repertory of the Dublin Abbey Theatre. The aim of the course is to train the participants in the critical reading of literary works and their cultural contextualization.

Students who do not meet quality requirements, or do not meet them on time will be required to take an oral exam. Course description: As the introduction, a brief summary of the basic methodological principles of relevant contemporary schools of critical thought shall be given. After that, we shall examine the following texts: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus (from the feminist, postcolonial, New Historicist and psychoanalytic point of view), Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (from the New Critical, semiological, postcolonial and psychoanalytic point of view), V. Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (from the narratological, feminist

37

and cultural point of view). We shall also read Michael Cunnigham’s novel The Hours as the case of a postmodernist reinscription of a Modernist text. Objective: By giving examples for different methods of interpreting literary works – poststructuralist, phsychoanalytical, feminist (gender studies), postcolonial, the course desires to provide an insight into the benefits of those methods to the understanding of the interpreted literary works, but also for students' own research. The course will thus develop the ability of critical and comparative reading and give an insight into the most significant Modernist works (J. Conrad, V. Woolf).

Course description: The course is structured as an analysis of historiographic metafiction, a genre formative of the poetics of postmodernism. Building on the positions of Hayden White's and Dominick LaCapra's metahistory, Linda Hutcheon defines historiographic metafiction as the narration about the past which stages the analysis of its own structure and

38

reference, and is therefore constituted as a convergence of fiction, history and theory. The course focuses on the analysis of the novels formative of the genre (yet deconstructing it in the process), and of its existing descriptions (Linda Hutcheon, Brian McHale), with a special emphasis on the genre’s interest in the historicity of knowledge, the accumulation of symbolic capital, the process of social legitimation and the politics of representation. Classes will be organized as lectures and as seminars.

Course description: Given the interest in various aspects of visuality evident in contemporary literary theory and cultural studies, the course is structured as an analysis of this interest, and of the position of visuality in the construction and the consumption of literature. The course incorporates discussions of visual illustrations of selected literary texts (e.g. Pre-Raphaelitism), of cinematic adaptations of novels, and of visual tropes in literature and literary theory, as they bear upon the dominant position of visual practices of representation in contemporary culture. As there are comparatively few discussions that adequately address the interaction of literature and the visual, this course aims at constructing a position facilitating an adequate analysis of current cultural politics in these terms. Classes will be organized as lectures and as seminars.

Course description: This seminar is both a survey of representative British modernist novels (Conrad, Joyce, Forster), but it also includes a thematic concern inasmuch as it pays special attention to the issue of the representation of colonialism and imperialism in the novels. Our discussions will therefore deal with literary-historical properties of modernism, as well as with a number of themes introduced by postcolonial criticism (such as the relationship between the metropole and the colony, construction/representation of others, cultural hybridity, gender issues in colonized societies, etc.) Our work in the seminar will have several modalities: class presentations, class discussions, compilation of bibliographies, and close reading of formal and historical properties of texts. Objective: The course requires a higher level of student engagement in research activities, that is, in compilation of secondary literature and work with it. Also, students are expected, while taking part in class discussions, working on critical bibliographies and writing the seminar paper, to develop an ability to analyze the structure of the critical debate on the topic of this seminar, and to hone their skills of written analysis, especially through working with secondary sources.

Content: This interdisciplinary course attempts to define the American "Sixties" from the cultural/political and literary point of view. Special attention will be given to three thematic clusters: 1. The parallel emergence of some non-violent mass movements (the hippies, mostly at universities, and peaceful anti-war in Vietnam and civil rights movements), and militant often violent mainly African-American groups (Black Muslim and others.) with the violence culminating in three assassinations (President John Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy and the reverend Martin Luther King. 2. The emergence of "alternative" cultures, reflected in a turning away from elitist modernism, new theories of popular culture (Leslie Fiedler) and the revival of documentary approaches leading to interesting combinations ( "non-fiction fiction), "new journalism"eg by Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, E. L. Doctorow, Tom Wolfe) and 3. specific changes of narrative strategis which are anti-realist, anti-totalitarian, relying on grotesque, hyperbole, black humour, paradox. (Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and Thomas Pynchon). The work in the seminar will adopt various modalities: discussion, oral presentations, 1-2 reviews of scholarly articles, compiling and annotating bibliographies, with the main focus on the formal and cultural properties of texts. Aims: The overall criteria of assessment will be raised to a higher and more demanding level, with more research based on the study of secondary sources. In their individual work and mutual intellectual seminar interaction the students should gain competences related to interdisciplinary approaches to literature and culture and improve the quality of their literary analysis in writing with special reference to the use of critical and theoretical sources.

In addressing this need, theoreticians of American culture approached the literary text and other symbolic artifacts as a microcosms of collective psychology or as a repository of integrative myths. They engaged in the search for key symbols and narratives which were the best venues for expressing the distinctiveness of American identity and the superiority of the American social system. Succinctly formulated, what these earlier theoreticians were engaged in was the search for an «usable past». In later developments, especially after the turbulent sixties, this paradigm was exposed to sustained questionings and attention was drawn to its selectivity and its complicity in the dominant ideological discursive formation. Focusing upon the all-pervasive work of ideology, later Americanists critically revalorized the assumptions of the so-called «myth and symbol school» foregrounding the rhetorical aspects of its texts. In their own research, they made an effort to incorporate those social groups, experiences and spaces which were simply excluded from the earlier exclusivist conceptualization of the American identity and its self-legitimization by way of the doctrine of exceptionalism. In the contemporary phase of American studies one of the crucial insights is the interrogation of the ideological complex which has been formed in time by the conjoining of exceptionalism and democracy and which

44

frequently functions as a smoke-screen masking US interests. Considering the position and the role of the US in today's world it comes as no surprise that a great deal of work within American studies has turned to diachronically and synchronically analyzing American political hegemony. Purpose: The purpose of the course is to familiarize the students of American studies on the graduate level with the historical development and with the key discussions within the discipline. The lectures and the seminars will attempt to show how the discipline was formed, what was its function within American cultural space not only within the US itself but also within its intercultural transactions with others. The aim is to show how the discipline registered the events in recent American history but also how it can help us understand the contemporary world whose fate is being decided by the US as the only remaining hegemon. Obligatory reading: During the course the applicability of the various paradigms will be explored on five literary texts: Charles Brockden Brown, Wieland (An American Tale) Henry Adams, Democracy Joan Didion, Democracy Nprman Mailer, Why Are We In Vietnam?

Course description: More than other anglophone literatures, American literature made a significant contribution to the innovations which have marked the literary scene during the twentieth century. This is particularly evident in poetry. It is impossible to speak of modernist breakthroughs ignoring the contribution of Eliot and Pound. Although their work has not drawn the international attention of these two, William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens have also left a significant body of writing which is immensely important for subsequent developments. The course will attend to the distinctive features of American poetry and explore the work of poets who have continued with innovations during the second part of the twentieth century. The question that will be addressed is whether one can speak of postmodern poetry when dealing with these texts. Delineating a postmodern poetics, the course will target a series of texts concentrating on the attempt to isolate postmodern features. The poets who will be dealt with in the course are the following: Louis Zukofsky, Charles Olson, John Berryman, Robert Lowell, Robert Duncan, Denise Levrtov, Robert Creeley, John Ashberry, Charles Bernstein. Purpose: The purpose of the course is to point out certain problems confronting literary theory when it proceeds to periodize literary works. Secondly, the course will attempt to present and to elaborate the features of postmodern poetry. Thirdly, the course aims to familiarize the students with an important body of poetry.

Instructor : Prof. Dr. Stipe Grgas Study program: American studies Course: The City in American Culture and Literature ECTS credits: 6 Course description: From its inception the American project has been conceived as a «city upon a hill» which was intended to attract the eyes of all other peoples. Thusly, the city as a metaphor stands at the beginning of American history and we can easily ascertain that its significance both as a metaphor and as a social reality has over time taken up a place of growing prominence within the American cultural imagination. A constellation of representations of the city and of urban life is to be found within American literature whose history it is the aim of this course to map out. The course will look at the distinctive characteristics of the American city, the different valorizations of the urban milieu within American culture and the way that the use of the of the city as a setting in fictional worlds impacts the formation of literary texts. Relying upon a historical arrangements of the representations of the city within literary texts, the course will investigate the causes of these transformations and the ways that they have been mirrored in literature. The special focus of the course will be the contemporary moment of the American city when it has become questionable whether we can speak of this space using traditional categories and what kind of challenges does this place before the writers in their attempts to conceptualize the new entity. Purpose: The purpose of the course is to acquaint the student with the importance the city has in constituting American culture as it is represented in literary works. The aim is to draw

46

attention o the distinctive attributes of the American city and how do these function within American literature. The specific goal of the course would be to address the contemporary transformations of the city and how these changes have manifested themselves in literary works.

Instructor : Prof. Dr. Stipe Grgas Study program: American studies Name of the course: American spatialities ECTS credits: 6 Course description: Two assumptions lie at the base of this course: first, it accepts the value and possibilities opened up by the theoretical «spatial turn» which is evident throughout the social sciences and the humanities, and, secondly, it works with the assumption that a recognizable human relationship to the geographical surroundings can be derived from American culture and civilization. Therefore, as an initial step, the course will provide the theoretical framework implied within the said theoretical turn. After this the course will muster the main argumentation for the acceptance of the spatial approach to the Americanist problematic. The third part of the course will designate some of the spatial constellations which are of interest for the understanding of US history, politics, culture and everyday life. A list of the possible thematic units would be as follows: the spaces of the discovery of the «New World»; the wilderness and «the frontier»; US regions; interior and exterior setting of borders; the land and the sea in American imagination and practice; conflicts over land and how to relate to it; the conquering of the land mass; spaces at the rim and the expansion outside of the land borders; the mythologization of American spaces – Main Street, National

47

Parks, suburbia; the landscapes of late capitalism – airports, shopping malls, economic centers of power, the ecological devastation of space. Purpose: The purpose of the course is to offer a theoretical paradigm which foregrounds spatiality as a decisive factor in human life and behavior. The course is propedeutic in character because it has the additional aim of providing a theoretical framework within which the students could work on their graduate papers but also go on to continue their postgraduate, doctoral studies.

Course description: This course will introduce students to a selection of American ethnic novels from the last three decades. Special attention will be given to those types of ethnic literature that were placed in the foreground of critical examinations during that time period (Latino, Asian American, African American and native American literatures). Also, class discussions will focus on the body of criticism on Ethnic American literature that developed in that period, and on the themes put in the foreground by that kind of criticism (construction of ethnic, racial and national identity; assimilation and multiculturalism; gender and

48

ethnicity). The specificity of the matter will require a reference to the historical context characterizing the processes of ethnic identity construction in American society. Objective: The course requires a high level of student engagement with research, that is, in the compilation of secondary sources and in working with it. Through class discussions, individual work on critical bibliographies and the writing of essays, students will have an opportunity to study the complex questions of representation and construction of ethnic identity in contemporary American literature. Special attention will be devoted to the honing of the skills of written analysis, especially in conjunction with the use of secondary sources.

Suggested authors: Equiano, Jacobs, Chesnutt, ZN Hurston, Wright, Brooks, Baraka, Morrison. Aim: Students will be encouraged to read and interpret texts in their specific cultural and historical contexts, engaging in close reading and employing reconstructive cultural work and literary-critical approaches in order to trace the continuities and ruptures in the development of this discourse, marked but never totally defined by its marginal status in the national letters and culture. Different genres are meant to highlight creative diversity as a hallmark of this canon. The students should be able to locate its specificity as set against the prevailing norms but also to register its crucial contributions to US literature and culture.

Additionally, the term «new ethnicities» is contextualized. Classical and revised psychoanalytic theory serves as a launching pad for considerations of processes of «subjectification», identification, desire, identity building, the tensions between the individual and collective identities and the slippage between the ethnic and the national identity. Critical race theory accompanied by various ethnic studies approaches provide indispensable models for reading texts (fictional, visual and material) from various ethnic corpuses (notably, Asian American, Chicano / Latino, Amerindian, African American). Aim: Students are encouraged to understand and discuss how psychoanalytic and cultural theories bear on our understanding of important concepts such as identity, subject, gender, collectivity, ethnicity, nation. Further, critical articulation of these points serves not only to elucidate salient aspect of US culture, but also gives students a foil for considering parallel processes in global context.

The course introduces the students to the basic theoretical

framework of lexicology and its application in lexicography,

paying particular attention to the word as the basic

vocabulary unit and its relation to other lexical units.

The focus is on the analysis of various phraseological units

in English (collocations, clichés, idioms, phrasal verbs and

proverbs) with contrastive insights in relation to Croatian.

Special emphasis is placed on the metaphor, which is,

according to contemporary theories, the chief motivating

force that underlies fixed phrases and idioms. Metaphors are

organized in a particular thematic group (e.g. emotions,

time, work) or by their lexical component (e.g. animals,

59

Objectives of the course:

Compulsory reading:

Recommended reading:

body parts, food, clothes).

Students are required to analyse the semantics and syntax of

idiomatic expressions and do assignments concerning the

organization of dictionary entries.

Students have the opportunity to learn a large number of

phraseological units and their use, frequency and function

by reading and analyzing various texts, as well as examples

taken from the British National Corpus. Special attention is

paid to the problems of translation of idiomatic phrases from

English to Croatian and vice versa. Students are also

introduced to the theoretical framework necessary for the

making and use of dictionaries, as well as different types of

dictionaries.

3. LINGUISTIC SEMINARS Course title: Linguistic Seminar in Syntax

Professor: prof. dr. Milena Žic Fuchs

Instructor : Irena Zovko Dinković

ECTS-credits: 5

Language: English

Semester: VIII. (Spring)

Status: Elective

Course form: 4 hours of seminar

Preconditions: The students have to pass the exam in English Semantics and Syntax

Exam: No exam

Contents: This seminar deals with coding (mostly morphological) and behavioral properties of grammatical relations using the examples from various natural languages. Coding properties include case marking, verb agreement and the position of elements in a sentence (word order). Behavioral properties include a number of constructions which target particular grammatical relations, such as subjects or direct object. These constructions include imperative and reflexive constructions, relative and interrogative clauses and sentences with embedded clauses. The relations in the sentence are analyzed within a framework which puts semantics at the core of syntactic analysis, dealing in detail with different semantic relationships in a sentence and with semantic roles of verb arguments. Aside from simple clauses, the students also analyze complex sentences, not only in the so-called nominative-accusative type of languages, but also in ergative languages or those that make a class of their own. The students get ten to fifteen assignments where they have to determine the coding and behavioral properties of the language in question by analyzing a certain number of sentences and the semantic relationships that are at the core of syntactic analysis.

61

Goal: The goal of this seminar is to critically examine the stereotyped attitudes about language, which are based on one's own cultural and language experience, and thus give a fresh and different angle on syntactic and semantic analysis of various linguistic phenomena.

Status: elective

Type of course: 4 periods, seminar

Prerequisites: Semantics of the English Language

Assessment method: none

Course contents: The seminar introduces students to the practical considerations of the knowledge of semantic theory, acquired during the previous years of study. They are given the opportunity to explore different types of meaning analysis, from both structural, as well as cognitive-functional approaches. The course will deal with issues relating to the analysis of sense relations such as synonymy and polysemy, approaches to meaning analysis such as componential analysis and semantic field theory, as well as to the creation of dictionary entries. In addition to lexical meanings, attention will be paid to the 'semantics of syntax.'

62

Objectives of the course: The objective of the course is to familiarize students with different types of meaning analysis. They will be expected to formulate their own semantic descriptions based on the given theoretical approaches and methods of analysis, developing a critical stance towards them.

Višnja Josipović Smojver ECTS credits: 5 Language: English Semester: VIII (Spring) Status: obligatory Course type: seminar (4 hours) Requirements: No special requirements for taking up the course Exam: No exam Students' obligations: Each student must give a presentation on one of the

relevant topics of her/his own choice. The students' presentations can be done individually, in pairs or in groups of three students. Apart from the obligatory literature, which serves as the starting point, students must provide their own auditive or/and AV materials illustrating the points made in their presentations. Students are also required to attend the classes regularly and take part in discussions during other students' presentations.

Course description: The course starts with the introduction of the notions of

dialect, accent, referent accent, standard and substandard varietiy. The types of English pronunciation taken as referent accents are Received Pronunciation and General American. Through students' presentation on relevant topics

63

of their own choice, particular accents of English are dealt with: southern and northern English accents (with emphasis on the systematic differences between the linguisticsouth and north of England), Welsh English, Scottish English, Irish English; particular American-English accents with emphasis on the difference between the northern and southern varieties; Canadian English, Australian English, New Zealand English, Indian English, African English, and the English of the Far East.

Course objectives: The main objective is to develop in students a sensibility for variability in English pronunciation, as well as in pronunciation in general. Students learn to listen to the original English discourse selectively, paying attention to regional and sociolinguistic variability

on the phonological and phonetic segmental and suprasegmental levels. After completing this course students are expected to be able to recognize and scientifically describe such phenomena.

Number of credits: 5

Language of instruction: English

Semester: 8 (spring)

Status: elective

Type of course: 4 periods, seminar

Prerequisites: All basic linguistics disciplines

Assessment method: none

Student obligations: Individually or in small groups, students write a seminar paper (about 20 pages)

Course contents: At the beginning of the seminar students are introduced to various phenomena on the suprasentential level, or text. The elements discussed are those that influence the basic characteristics of text, particularly the extratextual ones such as context of situation, context of culture, Gricean maxims, sender, receiver, as well as intratextual elements, those belonging to the category of text cohesion. Further,

64

texts from the domain of communication technologies are analyzed with an aim to examine to what extent the traditional discourse analysis is able to explain the phenomena arising in the new modes of communication. 'Written' and 'spoken' texts are compared in order to point out the differences found in the language of communication technologies. Examples are analyzed from both English and Croatian to observe cultural differences.

Objectives of the course: The objective of this seminar is to introduce students to the basic notions of text analysis, i.e. the suprasentential level. Theoretical knowledge is applied to the specific characteristics of texts found in communication technologies. The analysis of these texts enables an insight into the creation of new communication rules and rituals.

3. GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN ENGLISH SPECIALISING IN TRANSLATION

LENGTH OF THE COURSE, TRACKS AND ACADEMIC TITLES AW ARDED: The prerequisite for the graduate programme of English specialising in translation is the completion of the undergraduate programme of the studies of English (the B.A. programme). The duration of the Graduate studies of translation is four semesters, and the programme is available as a single or double major). The title awarded upon completion: Master of Arts in English - Translation.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME:

The main objective of the programme is to form translators/interpreters as mediators between languages and cultures, experts at conveying information and contents from one language to another, as well as at creating and editing texts. The objective of the programme is to help future translators acquire, in addition to high proficiency in English and Croatian, broad general knowledge. The success of this programme presupposes a well-designed integration of theoretical and practical courses, i.e. theoretical knowledge and skills, so that theory will rely on practice, and practice gains from theoretical insight. These objectives may be successfully attained only in small interactive groups where everyone learns from everyone else, and the teacher acts as a moderator guiding the process towards the desired end.

The language of these texts is still relatively general, and the specialized vocabulary known to a wider circle of educated speakers. Translation will be done in both directions – from English to Croatian and from Croatian to English. Special attention will be paid to adapting the translation to the characteristic idiomatic expression of the target language, and to the norms which are relevant to a particular type of text and its style. Concrete translation tasks are set in imaginary communicational situations, which brings about the need of pointing to potential influence of extralinguistic and extratextual aspects on the production of the translated text. Course objectives: Developing a number of general and specialised types of kowledge and skills that are necessary in translation: linguistic and cultural competences in both languages/cultures, textual competences, translation competences and general communicational competences; improving the students' theoretical knowledge about the translation process and its components, acquired in the course Translation Theory, and acquainting students with the basic terminology of those professions where professional and scientific papers are most frequently translated. Required reading: The instructors will choose most suitable texts for attaining the goals of the course. They will coordinate their choice of theoretical and specialised reading with the instructors of the courses Translation Theory, Institutional Aspects of Croatia and the English-Speaking Societies, and EU and International Organizations. Students will use standard reference books (general monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, specialised dictionaries, dictionaries of collocations, spelling dictionaries), printed or electronically published, such as: Anić, V.

The language resources presented in this course are digital dictionaries and lexical databases, as well as computer-based corpuses which offer insight into a particular language use when other dictionaries are insufficient. Special emphasis will be put on parallel corpuses – compilation, alignment and use (which results in translation memory), as well as their use in the development of systems for statistical and exemplified machine translating. The language tools presented in this course will be those used for finding names and terms in texts, as well as those for machine aided translation. Students will also get acquainted with Trados, the most widely known commercial translating system. One part of the course will be dedicated to systems for machine translating. Course objectives: Showing students the possibilities that the computer offers in translation; acquainting them with e-dictionaries and lexical bases, as well as computer-based corpuses; train them to use various language tools for machine aided translation.

In the first part of the course, the cognitive view of translation is compared and contrasted with the communicative approach to translation. The central section explains cognitive linguistic notions which are essential in establishing translational equivalence (such as figure/ground, conceptual metaphor, categorization, etc.). These notions are exemplified on a corpus of primarily English-Croatian and Croatian-English translations. The last section of the course deals with the translation of grammar and translation of culture. Course objectives: Upon completion of the course the students will be able to recognise potential translational problems primarily relating to grammatical and cultural issues. This will raise their awareness of the relation between the target and the source language. Compulsory reading: Tabakowska, E. (1993). Cognitive Linguistics and Poetics of Translation.

TEACHING PRACTICE (10 ECTS CREDIT POINTS)

Teaching practice is a very important part of the programme, like in most initial teacher

education programmes at European universities. Although teaching practice carries less ECTS

credit points than in many European programmes (e.g., in Finnish and Swedish universities

teaching practice can carry 22 ECTS credit points, in Spanish universities 15 ECTS credit

points, and in some Austrian universities – the University in Vienna being a case in point – it

amounts to 27 ECTS credit points!), it is designed and structured so as to adhere to the basic

principles of teaching practice applied in European universities. Teaching practice is the part

of the initial teacher education programme in which students acquire the competence and

skills necessary to apply scientifically validated insights into the language learning and

teaching processes (both those connected with the subject discipline and those connected with

educational sciences) in the classroom in an appropriate way. Research concerning the

96

position of teaching practice in initial teacher education has shown that a lack of structured

and guided teaching practice results in a segmented knowledge that the student cannot

successfully operationalize. Therefore, teaching practice is an integral part of this graduate

degree programme.

AIM: developing practical aspects of teaching competence through personal experience of

teaching English as a foreign language; seeing the relevance of theory (provided in the

relevant courses) to real-life teaching; developing a feeling of professionalism; developing a

sense of professional responsibility; developing the ability to self-evaluate own teaching

competence.

STRUCTURE:

The teaching practice component consists of a practicum (at the Faculty of Philosophy),

observation of teaching, student teaching and independent student work.

Practicum is held once a week (one hour of instruction per week, which totals 30 hours of

instruction) at the Faculty. Its aim is to train students in focused and reflective classroom

observation, in assessing effects of different teaching strategies, in making lesson plans, in

raising the students’ awareness about those aspects of their developing teaching competence

that need to be improved. In the practicum students analyze teaching practice journals, video

recordings of English language classes, simulate teaching sequences, self-reflect on classes

they taught and create teaching materials.

Observation of teaching (30 hours of instruction) includes observing teaching performed by

mentor teachers in schools and by other students taking their teaching practice in the

particular school. Every hour of observation is preceded by an introductory conversation with

the person teaching and is followed by an analysis of the observed class. The student keeps a

journal of observation according to the criteria set in the practicum.

Student teaching includes two aspects. During teaching practice the student teaches a total of

50 lessons: 20 of those are carried out in different classes (groups) in order to gather

experience of teaching English at different competence levels and under different conditions.

The remaining 30 lessons comprise teaching three classes/groups (10 lessons per class/group)

in order to gain insight into the developmental aspects of the teaching and learning process

and in order to develop a feeling of professional responsibility for the pupils being taught.

Students are systematically monitored and assessed by their mentor, while some aspects are

97

discussed in the practicum too. The average student workload in preparing and analyzing a

lesson is estimated to be around three working hours per lesson taught.

The student compiles a portfolio which includes all documents professionally relevant to his

or her own teaching competence. These documents include samples of lesson plans made by

the student, mentor's evaluation of the quality of classes the student taught, self-evaluation of

the student's teaching competence, samples of lesson materials made by the student, teaching

practice journal and, optionally, a video tape of a class taught by the student.
