Comparative Literature with a Year Abroad - BA (Hons)
Comparative Literature transcends national and cultural boundaries, offering students a global view of literature. You investigate literary movements, genres and themes in literature from the classics to the modern age.
Our programme offers modules on Classical Literature, Romanticism, Realism, Modernism and Postmodernism. Genres studied include the novel, the short story, science fiction, tragedy and the epic, with a particular emphasis on how literary forms have evolved in different cultures, and linguistic traditions. For example, what makes a tragedy by Sophocles so different from one written by Shakespeare? How has the genre of science fiction developed across Europe? What are the similarities and differences between a novel by Charlotte Brontë and one by Gustave Flaubert?
Themes explored in our modules include freedom and oppression, film adaptations of literary works, gender and sexuality, travel, the body, childhood and adolescence, and vampires in literature and film.
You do not need to be able to read a foreign language to take a Comparative Literature degree as we study translations into English of a great range of major literature from other countries alongside literature originally written in English. On this programme you also spend a year abroad, studying (in English) at one of our partner universities and gaining different perspectives on the literature you are studying.

Comparative Literature at Kent was ranked 2nd in the UK for the percentage of students who found professional jobs after graduation in 2015 (DLHE).
Course structure
The following modules are indicative of those offered on this programme. This listing is based on the current curriculum and may change year to year in response to new curriculum developments and innovation. Most programmes will require you to study a combination of compulsory and optional modules. You may also have the option to take 'wild' modules from other programmes offered by the University in order that you may customise your programme and explore other subject areas of interest to you or that may further enhance your employability.
Stage 1
Possible modules may include:
CP311 - The Tale (30 credits)
This literary-critical module deals with a wide range of selected international tales ranging from antiquity to the present day. The module addresses issues such as the development of oral folktales and fairytales into written forms, and discusses various short prose genres including Aesopian fables, myths, folktales and fairytales, as well as tales of the fantastic, 19th century art-tales and the modern short story.
The framework of discussion comprises a general survey of the issues that face the comparatist. In the course of the module students practice different methods of literary analysis, including close reading and comparative analysis by examining story-motifs and story-structures, and by considering symbolic meanings in the light of psychoanalytic concepts. Students also explore questions of transmission and transformation (e.g. how stories and motifs travel from one culture to another and alter in shape and emphasis) and questions of genre (for example the fantastic). A selection of critical texts on narrative devices and patterns, on psychoanalytical, structuralist and feminist approaches to the fairytale and on genre theories are studied in conjunction with the primary texts.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP305 - Freedom and Oppression in Modern Literature (15 credits)
The twentieth-century imagination was marked by a spirit of doubt, especially of the Enlightenment faith in reason's capacity to advance mankind to happiness and freedom. In this module will be discussed some classic fictional explorations of freedom and social, political, religious and racial oppression which have had an international impact. These texts will be read as works of literature in their own right as well as contextualised with the ideas they question and propagate: universal happiness, human liberation, and morality without God, personal and political freedom, the self and its responsibility.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP306 - Guilt and Redemption in Modern Literature (15 credits)
The 'knowledge of good and evil' is unique to human beings. It informs the individual's conscience and determines the moral systems on which societies are based. The violation of moral codes is expected to induce the experience of guilt, while the lack of any sense of guilt is considered to be psychopathic. As the manifestation of an internal, and sometimes also external, struggle of varying intensity, guilt is an almost universal concern of literary texts; as is the quest for redemption, the alleviation of guilt and despair through atonement, forgiveness or denial. In this module, we will analyse and discuss literary texts which explore the frequently fuzzy edges of the experiences of guilt and redemption as a human quandary and as perceived against changing conceptions of morality. Texts included in the reading list engage with questions of personal and collective guilt incurred with hubris, cruelty, the violation of animal rights, and genocide, etc.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP317 - Childhood & Adolesence in Modern Fiction (15 credits)
Who and what is 'a child', and what is adolescence? This module examines the representation of childhood and adolescence in a cross-section of texts from modern literature within the context of World Literature studies. Students will pay close attention to the rhetoric and techniques of storytelling woven around these themes, as well as to relevant socio-political debates, while also examining how these specific texts function across cultures.
The module encourages students to find innovative approaches to the topic, and at the same time invites them to explore the relationship between literature and childhood and the joy of reading often associated with childhood and adolescence.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP318 - Introduction to Contemporary European and Hispanic Cinemas (15 credits)
This module will introduce students to a wide range of films produced in different European and Latin American countries between the late 1980s and the present day. The module will focus on prevailing trends and dominant themes in contemporary European and Hispanic cinemas. The aim is to make students aware of the place which cinema has played and continues to play in the cultural life of Europe and Latin America, its importance in establishing national and supra-national identity, and the ways in which international relations are expressed through film production. The module will begin with an overview of European and Latin American cinema, and then will be divided into geographically determined sections (United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Poland, France, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Cuba) before being brought together again in the final conclusive lecture. The course is also designed to provide students with basic film terminology, as well as with basic tools for cultural analysis.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP319 - Post-War European Cinemas (15 credits)
The course will introduce students to the study of post-War European cinema and will contribute to student's historical, aesthetic and conceptual understanding of this cinema. The course will examine a number of the principal production and aesthetic trends of cinema in Europe from 1945 to the late 1970s. The main aim is to introduce students to the work and contexts of production of important European filmmakers from a range of national cinemas. Thus the module will look at Italian Neo-Realism, British Ealing comedy, Swedish cinema, French New Wave, New German cinema, and New Spanish Cinema. Among the topics of the course are: the notion of European 'art' cinema; the notion of the 'auteur'; European realism; the relationship between European cinema and Hollywood. Students will also become familiar with basic film terminology as well as with basic tools for cultural analysis.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP323 - The Romantic Movement (30 credits)
This module focuses on the development of the Romantic movement in Britain, France, Germany and Russia. It begins with the work of eighteenth century writers such as Goethe and Rousseau, and then explores their influence upon British, French and German writers of the early Romantic period (Blake, Chateaubriand, Kleist). The middle part of the module mainly concentrates upon British Romantic poetry, grouped around themes such as art, nature, politics and identity. The final part of the module examines how Russian writers, such as Lermontov and Pushkin, responded to the legacy of their Western counterparts. There will also be exploration during the course of the module of sub-genres such as the Gothic (Walpole, Dacre, M. Shelley), the historical novel (Dumas) and the confession (de Quincey). The work of painters, such as Fuseli, Goya and Turner, will be available as a resource via Moodle.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP324 - Classical Literature (15 credits)
This module offers students a wide-ranging grounding in classical literature as a basis for the further study of Western literature within a comparative framework. Major works of ancient Greek and Roman literature are studied in order to enable students to appreciate the literary engagement with the following in the classical world: myth (including the stories of the Trojan War, Oedipus, Jason and Medea, and the founding of Rome); the relationship between human beings and the gods, between the sexes, and between the human and the animal; and the journey motif. Themes explored included sexuality, violence, conceptions of justice, metamorphosis, and madness. The module introduces students to some of the major genres of Western literature (tragedy, comedy, the epic), and considers how these were theorized by Aristotle. It also encourages students to reflect on questions of cultural transmission, and on why the myths represented in classical literature should have proved to be such a rich source for the literature of the West.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP325 - World Literature:An Introduction (15 credits)
This module introduces students to some of the most influential theories of World Literature, which are studied alongside a selection of literary examples. The theories include Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's reflections formulated in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Goethe coined the term 'world literature' [Weltliteratur] to describe the international circulation and reception of literary works in Europe. In the course of the module, we reflect on the relationship between national literatures and world literature, and on the ways in which the literary market facilitates and complicates transnational exchanges of ideas. In addition, students are given the opportunity to hone their close reading skills by studying a selection of ancient and modern world creation myths. These include texts from the Near East, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. The module offers students the unique opportunity to analyse in detail different ways in which cultural backgrounds can shape literary productions, and how stories, motifs and themes travel across national boundaries. In the course of the module, we discuss key literary terms and concepts, including fictionality, literariness, translation, the canon, and the various modes of reception and circulation that shape our understanding of world literature.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).

Stage 2
Possible modules may include:
CP510 - The Text: Approaches to Comparative Literature (30 credits)
This module is designed to give a theoretically-grounded understanding of Comparative Literature and its methods. Students will have an overview of the brief history, fundamental debates, theories and different areas of focus of the discipline of Comparative Literature, as well as learning about the important schools of literary theory that are relevant to Comparative Literature.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP644 - Creatures of the Night: Vampires in Literature and Film (15 credits)
This module introduces students to a range of nineteenth-, twentieth-, and twenty-first-century literary and cinematic representations of vampires from different cultural backgrounds. It explores the reasons for the abiding allure of the figure of the vampire both in popular culture and in literary fiction. The module examines the ways in which vampires function as polyvalent symbols of specifically modern preoccupations, for the emergence and popularity of vampire tales is intricately bound up with the advent and wider cultural ramifications of modernity. What do vampires represent in each of the works discussed, and what hidden desires and anxieties do they allow authors and filmmakers to express? The vampire is an allegorically highly potent figure which is suspended between life and death and between animal and human existence. Vampires frequently serve as foils to discuss more contentious matters, in particular questions relating to sexuality, gender roles, class, immortality and the desire for everlasting youth, being an outsider, and addiction. Texts and films to be studied include John Polidoris The Vampyre (1819), Théophile Gautiers Clarimonde (1836), J. Sheridan Le Fanus Carmilla (1872), Bram Stokers Dracula (1897), F. W. Murnaus and Werner Herzogs Nosferatu adaptations (1922 and 1979), Angela Carters The Lady of the House of Love (1979), Neil Jordans Interview with the Vampire (1994) and Stephenie Meyers Twilight (2005)
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP646 - Prize Winners (15 credits)
The award of literary prizes is a highly potent tool of cultural policy that frequently determines the wider national and international impact of a literary work. As such it is of crucial relevance to the study of comparative literature in a number of ways: the award of literary prizes reflects the beginnings of the successful or, as the case may be, the (ultimately) abortive formation of literary canons; moreover, it affords insights into processes of cultural production and marketing and reveals in which ways political and economic agendas are tied up with these processes; it also offers a perspective on transnational and transcultural aspects of the production and reception of literature and indicates shifting notions of the social function of literature and the writer; literature is thus understood as a cultural product in ever changing contexts which is frequently subject to external forces of which literary prizes become indicators or even 'enforcers'. This module will investigate with the methods of literary and cultural studies the development of a number of major literary awards which have achieved global significance, among them the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Man Booker Prize the Prix Goncourt (This list may be modified according to precedent to accommodate the topical relevance of individual award winners in the future.) Seminars will develop a historical perspective by scrutinising and analysing award winners of the past and their most recent counterparts in their different production and marketing contexts as well as in changing reception contexts: seminars will include the close reading of individual works as well as their critical reception, and the analysis of marketing strategies in various media (e.g. reports in culture magazines, reviews, displays in book shops, translations, etc.); final winners will be interpreted in the context of the respective long and short lists from which they emerged; historical developments will be taken into account, for instance by investigating 'forgotten' prize winners in comparison with those who, largely through the agency of academic intervention, 'made it' into the canon; the module thus also offers an insight into the history of the discipline of literary studies. (It links up logically with the C-level module CP321 Literature and Nationhood)
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP524 - Fiction and Power (30 credits)
This module looks at a group of politically inspired novels and films, some of which were produced under the totalitarian regimes which held sway in Europe between 1917 and 1989, others deal with Latin American political unrest, the Middle East conflict and the Islamic revolution in Iran. Most explore ways of challenging and subverting authoritarian power structures and of articulating a critique in what Bertolt Brecht called 'dark times'. But we will also focus on less obvious negotiations of fiction with power, especially with respect to the various forms of power to which these texts are subject and in which they participate. The approach is comparative in two senses as the texts range historically and culturally as well as across genres and language barriers (Arab, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian and Spanish)
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP532 - Latin American Fiction (15 credits)
This course introduces students to the fiction (novels, novellas, and short stories) of some of the most influential twentieth- and twenty-first- century Latin American writers. The module ranges from Borges to the extraordinary literary phenomenon or explosion of the 'Boom generation', the post-Boom novel, and the recently acclaimed Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño (all studied in English translation). The course offers students the unique opportunity to study a fascinating corpus of literature celebrated for its creative innovation, fictional games, puzzles, labyrinths, fabulous and supernatural events, multiple storytellers, and magical realist writing. The course also addresses questions of gender, class, and social, cultural, and technological changes, as well as representations of identity, subjectivity, time, space, and landscape.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP533 - The Sonnet (15 credits)
Since its inception in the thirteenth century, the sonnet has proven to be one of the most enduring poetic forms in western literary history and beyond. Associated, since Petrarch, in particular with love poetry, more recent transformations of the sonnet have not only explored new thematic ground but have continued a constant process of experimentation and innovation within the formal constraints of the genre. In this module, the poetic form of the sonnet will be explored from its very beginnings to the present day. Moreover, sonnet cycles, such as Shakespeare's or Rilkes, will be studied as examples of the thematically guided expansion of the form. In addition to the printed poetic texts, attention will also be given (where applicable) to their artistic transformation in the visual arts, performance, and music. Sonnets to be studied will include samples by poets such as Petrarch, Ronsard, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Gryphius, Lermontov, Borges, and Rilke as well as lesser known and more unconventional poems.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP534 - Modern Arabic Literature and the Middle East (15 credits)
The module introduces students to one of the richest and most stimulating eras of Arabic literary innovation and aims to link literary processes of transformation to current political changes. Exploring how recent Arabic fiction prefigures the 2011 Arab Spring revolution, the module offers students the opportunity to study these works in English translation by analysing creative trends and movements that currently resonate around the region. In addition, the module explores how these emerging Arab voices negotiate links to the past in relation to texts such as The Thousand and One Nights. The module combines the methodological approaches of comparative literature, the sociology of literature and postcolonial theory and explores concepts such as cultural identity, gender, diaspora and historiography.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP627 - Science Fiction: History and Innovation (30 credits)
This module examines the development of science fiction from the second half of the nineteenth century to its current global status in both serious and popular culture. It explores how science fiction has developed via the interaction of different genres, different media and different national cultures. The module begins with the work of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells since their fiction is at the root of international variants of science fiction. Special attention will be paid to the comparative analysis of science fiction from the Americas, Western and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Consideration will also be given to the relationship of literature to film, especially surrounding topics such as aliens and alienation, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, dystopia and apocalypse.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP629 - Rethinking Gender: From the Bronte Sisters toEimear McBride (30 credits)
This module investigates the representation of love, desire and the body in a selection of texts by women writers from different temporal, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In particular we will look at the way representations of love, desire and the body reflect the respective socio-cultural contexts and the situation of women therein, how these writers deal with themes such as love, desire and eroticism, and what aesthetic strategies they use to tackle them. What models of feminine behaviour are celebrated or criticised? To what extent are relevant representational conventions adhered to or transgressed in these works?
Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre for example provides a complex representation of a split and conflicted female identity, torn between demands of the body, passions, rages and desires, and the demands of the mind, the spirit and the intellect. This conflict is externalised in the form of the characters Bertha Mason and Helen Burns, alter egos which Jane has to overcome and reconcile. Jane Eyre will offer a useful touchstone for other representations of female figures caught between social conventions and desires, and their attempts to come to terms with them.
Students will be asked to engage with the siginificance of images and representations of women proliferated through literature. These representations provide or question role models, perpetuate or problematise stereotypical versions of feminine goals and aspirations. Furthermore, emphasis will be placed on close readings of the various works, and students will be asked to pay close attention to cultural differences and variations, and to examine how the conceptions and representations of love and desire changed in the course of time.
The selected fictions allow a comparative examination of a wide range of different perceptions by women writers of the body, of gender, identity, love, desire and sexuality and the way these reflect the respective wider ideological framework. Close readings of these texts are complemented by selected references to a body of feminist literary theory.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).

Year abroad
Going abroad as part of your degree is an amazing experience and a chance to develop personally, academically and professionally. You experience a different culture, gain a new academic perspective, establish international contacts and enhance your employability.
On this programme, you spend a year abroad between Stages 2 and 3 at one of our partner universities. For a full list, please see Go Abroad. Places are subject to availability, language and degree programme.
You are expected to adhere to any academic progression requirements in Stages 1 and 2 to proceed to the Year Abroad. If the requirement is not met, you will be transferred to the equivalent three-year programme. The Year Abroad is assessed on a pass/fail basis and will not count towards your final degree classification.
A foreign language is not required as the teaching language is English, but tuition in the language of the host country will be offered if possible and it is recommended that you take advantage of your stay abroad to learn and/or practise a foreign language.
Possible modules may include:
HU503 - Humanities Study Abroad Module (Year) (120 credits)
Spending a period as full-time student at an overseas university, students will follow teaching and tuition in their own subject areas as well as choosing from a range of available courses in the Humanities. The curriculum will vary according to the partner institutions. Additionally, students will usually be offered to take language classes and/or courses on the culture of the host country.
Credits: 120 credits (60 ECTS credits).
Stage 3
Possible modules may include:
CP513 - Comparative Literature Dissertation (30 credits)
The Comparative Literature Final-Year Dissertation is compulsory for Final-Year Single Honours students of Comparative Literature. Joint Honours students may also register for this module, but it is recommended that only students with an average of 65 per cent or higher do so. The module convenor will establish in an interview that JH students are not disadvantaged by taking CP513 before giving them permission to register.
The module is predicated on independent research activity. It is the third and final core module of the BA programme in Comparative Literature and builds on the skills and experiences acquired through stages 1 and 2. Stage 3 students write a dissertation of 8,000 words on a topic of their own choice. The topic must be on a literary or related subject and must have a comparative element. The final-year dissertation gives students the opportunity to satisfy their intellectual curiosity by individually and independently researching a large-scale project of their own choice. Throughout autumn and spring terms students are given guidance by a chosen supervisor, but the rhythm of research, the writing and frequency of meetings between supervisor and student is left to the individual student to determine. The SWIPE undergraduate conference will give students a chance to discuss their and their fellow students' work and to test some of their ideas in a larger context.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP518 - The Book and the Film: Adaptation and Interpretation (30 credits)
This module seeks to explore how novels and plays are adapted and interpreted for the screen. We shall be looking at how certain texts lend themselves to multiple reshaping such as Laclos 'Dangerous Liasions' and Henry James 'The Turn of the Screw', both of which have been adapted for the screen more than once. We shall also analyse lesser known works that have gone on to become feature films, such as Arthur Schnitzlers short work Dream Story, filmed as 'Eyes Wide Shut'. Adaptations directed by widely recognised filmmakers such as De Sica, Max Ophuls, Kubrick and Pier Paolo Pasolini will also be examined with a view to eliciting and understanding their particular approach to, and filmic vision of, written texts.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP502 - Fiction and Power (30 credits)
This module looks at a group of politically inspired literary texts, comics and films, some of which were produced under the totalitarian regimes which held sway in Europe between 1917 and 1989. Others deal with the Middle East conflict, and the Islamic revolution in Iran and Mao's Cultural Revolution in China, or power relations in other contexts. Most explore ways of challenging and subverting authoritarian power structures and of articulating a critique in what Bertolt Brecht called 'dark times'. But we also focus on less obvious negotiations of fiction and power, especially with respect to the various forms of power to which these texts are subject, in which they participate, and on which they reflect metafictionally. The approach is comparative in various ways as the texts range historically and culturally, as well as across genres and language barriers (Arab, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Greek, Polish, Russian and Chinese)
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).
CP641 - SWIPE Undergraduate Conference (15 credits)
The SWIPE (Student Work-in-Progress Exposition) undergraduate conference module is designed particularly for undergraduate students working on their final-year dissertations or other extended coursework, but is open to all third year students. The conference will provide students with an opportunity to conduct independent research. In addition, it will give them a chance to discuss their and their fellow students work and to test some of their ideas in a larger context. The conference aims to foster the ongoing academic dialogue within Comparative Literature, the disciplines joined in LLB and the School of European Culture and Languages as a whole as well as with the larger scholarly community of the University of Kent at Canterbury and its other campuses. By giving students an opportunity of being introduced to, and partaking in, one of the prevalent forms of professional academic dialogue, the SWIPE conference is designed as a preparation for students further participation in exciting academic debates and to invite them to consider the challenges and opportunities of postgraduate studies. At the same time, it will serve to hone transferable skills useful in students professional careers in other sectors of public life (organisation, presentation, communication and the demonstration of self-confidence). To ensure a certain thematic coherence and provide students with some orientation while still leaving them a wide-ranging spectrum of thematic concerns from which to choose their subjects, a specific, but not limiting, conference title will be chosen every year (to be advertised in the current stage 2 and 3 handbooks). Titles like Violence, Love, Death, Silence or Resistance are envisaged. Students participation will not be limited to the six workshops and the presentation of their paper but will also include the complete organisation of the conference; with respect to the latter, the module convenors role is restricted to giving guidance, advice and, whenever necessary, help.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP647 - Prize Winners (15 credits)
The award of literary prizes is a highly potent tool of cultural policy that frequently determines the wider national and international impact of a literary work. As such it is of crucial relevance to the study of comparative literature in a number of ways: the award of literary prizes reflects the beginnings of the successful or, as the case may be, the (ultimately) abortive formation of literary canons; moreover, it affords insights into processes of cultural production and marketing and reveals in which ways political and economic agendas are tied up with these processes; it also offers a perspective on transnational and transcultural aspects of the production and reception of literature and indicates shifting notions of the social function of literature and the writer; literature is thus understood as a cultural product in ever changing contexts which is frequently subject to external forces of which literary prizes become indicators or even 'enforcers'. This module will investigate with the methods of literary and cultural studies the development of a number of major literary awards which have achieved global significance, among them the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Man Booker Prize the Prix Goncourt (This list may be modified according to precedent to accommodate the topical relevance of individual award winners in the future.)

(It links up logically with the C-level module CP321 Literature and Nationhood)
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP652 - Postcolonial Images of Africa and South Asia (15 credits)
This is a module about the intersection of colonial power relations, anti-colonialism, postcolonialism, feminism, and identity politics in literature from 1940 to 2010 which interrogates the influence of imperialism on a sense of self. It considers the writing of a number of women and men from Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, India and Sri Lanka in a range of genres from the Francophone and Anglophone traditions (short story, essay, novel, autobiography). In light of the complex relationship between coloniser and colonised, we consider the political activism of many of these writers, as well as the ways in which their politics are articulated in their writing, whether fiction or non-fiction. We also examine to what extent this literature is representative of other postcolonial concerns such as nationhood and national consciousness, hybridity and assimilation, and exile and alienation within the larger context of cultural theory. Particularly significant is our interrogation of the violence inscribed in both the colonial system and the colonised's fight for independence as seen from the psychoanalytical perspectives of Frantz Fanon in Black Skin, White Masks (1952), A Dying Colonialism (1959), The Wretched of the Earth (1961). Studying the primary and secondary texts in English, we bring awareness to the reading scene of the translation process as an important development in the transnational study of comparative literature in our global world. In so Doing, we acknowledge the significance of indigenous languages and dialects as signifers of subjecthood in conflict with the coloniser's language. By exploring a variety of anti-colonial resistance and liberation discourses in relation to the development of current postcolonial thinking, the module also offers an insight into the history of the discipline of Colonial and Postcolonial studies.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP655 - Don Juan and Casanova: The Art of Seduction in Literature - Music and F (15 credits)
Don Juan and Casanova are archetypes of the male seducer who, in the Western European tradition, stand for different interpretations of excessive passion. Don Juan hunts for virgins, nuns, and other women who are difficult to get (in that they belong to other men). Meticulously, he keeps record of his conquests. Casanova, in turn, was attracted to the easy accessibility of moments of intense pleasure, which, although within potential reach to all, only few knew how to enjoy. While Casanova slept with everyone but took interest in nobody, Don Juan's quest is also motivated by the hidden desire to find a woman that would be his equal. In this module we shall chart the metamorphoses of these two almost mythical figures since their emergence in seventeenth-century Spain and eighteenth-century Italy to explore the relationship between literature, music, film, and the erotic within different cultural and historical contexts. In our close analyses of plays, novellas, poems, philosophical texts, opera, and film, we will focus on notions of modern individualism in relation to narcissism and solitude. In addition, we shall also engage with theoretical concepts related to speech act theory (J.L. Austins How to do Things with Words), Judith Butlers thoughts on gender as performance, Sigmund Freuds observations on sexuality, and Jacques Lacans description of ego-constitution.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP656 - Shakespeare's Afterlives (15 credits)
How have twentieth-century writers across the world negotiated and appropriated Shakespeares omnipresent cultural influence? How have they revised, reinvented, and reimagined his legacy in Europe, Asia, and the Americas (North, Central, and South)? This module focuses on a selection of Shakespeares most influential plays (Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, and The Tempest) in order to examine how their thematic, historical, and cultural concerns have been transplanted to a wide range of global locations including the Caribbean, Germany, Japan, a farm in the USA, and the Argentine Pampas. The module also engages with theoretical notions related to the act of appropriating Shakespeare, including the theory of intertextuality, the Benjaminian concept of the afterlife of a text, and Genettes study of the palimpsest as a text derived from a pre-existent text. In addition, the module will reflect on issues of race, gender, and cultural identity embedded in the adaptations of the bard in the various world contexts in which his work has been complexly modernized and redeployed.
Credits: 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits).
CP659 - Comparative Literature and English & Linguistics in the Classroom (30 credits)
This module will provide the opportunity for third year undergraduates to gain valuable transferable skills by giving them some first-hand teaching experience in a primary or secondary school classroom. Each student will spend half a day each week for one term in a local school under the supervision of a specific teacher, who will act as a mentor, and decide the tasks and responsibilities of the student. The weekly university sessions and school work will complement each other. Therefore, attendance to university sessions is crucial as it will also give the students the opportunity to discuss aspects related to their weekly placement and receive guidance.
They will observe sessions taught by their designated teacher and possibly other teachers. Initially, for these sessions the students will concentrate on specific aspects of the teachers' tasks, and their approach to teaching a whole class. As they progress, their role will be as teaching assistants, by helping individual pupils who are having difficulties or by working with small groups. They may teach brief or whole sessions with the whole class or with a small group of students where they explain a topic related to the school syllabus. They may also talk about aspects of University life. They must keep a weekly journal reflecting on their activities at their designated school.
Credits: 30 credits (15 ECTS credits).

On this site of Dutch vivariums, they show pictures of beautiful setups with
artificial tree limbs. In the descriptions they talk about bending plastic
pipes with torches and using some kind of epoxy mix attached to replicate bark.
It seems to also hold moisture where cork does not.
I think it is obvious to all, that to grow ferns as epiphytes, it needs to be
in a greenhouse or a large terrarium. I doubt anyone was suggesting that the
coffee table in the middle of the livingroom would be a great place for ferns
to be clinging to bark. It's great that everyone is thinking about this topic.
Davallia's, Polypodium's, Humata's, Microgramma's, Lemmaphyllum, Asplenium's
and Pyrrosia's all look great growing vertically or horizontally on a
substrate that is suspended.
Keep brain storming,
Gary L.

Jamiebryant: mind blown!
Dex: very nice stuff. That Faconnable is nice; just wish it wasn't orange.
38R: love the tie, jacket (suit?) And shoes. Just not together. Scale of the dots makes it not quite right for a suit somehow (just mho), and the shoes are so formal thet seem over the top with a conservative fit. All just mho; again, I love the pieces individually.
And to the new guy: nice things in general, but I think Barrell was right about the orphan -- in fact, I think most of them are. Brooks brothers orphans (other than black fleece) and most others should be avoided. True top tier stuff, like Kiton or Brioni, can be picked up in orphan form.
+1 on Jamiebryant... Wow!
Don't agree on the shoes. Spectators are not too formal. They're a spring / summer shoe, though, so I'm not sure they go with a dark suit. Maybe a light gray, lighter-than-navy, or gray seersucker.post #65367 of 1387283/8/13 at 9:45amQuote:

Dear friends I had the most delightful time in Settle. The weather was
perfect! No rain, no clouds/smog/fog and no Judy. The mountains were beautiful.
There were 24 extensive beautiful gardens competing for awards. The
winning one was probably my favorite. I was surprised at the small use of
water in the gardens. One of the speakers touched on that as they talked of
trends. Seems gardeners are tired of water garden maintenance. What do you
think? The other big talk was gardening is on the down slide. A survey was
taken of 21-36 year olds and they don't garden, have no interest in gardens and
do not fore see having interest in gardening. Since the midwest is always
slow to catch up with trends, I am assuming we will still see a good year this
year in the greenhouse.
Color trends seem to be white, pink & lime green. Containers are still
big. The size of the containers seemed bigger, bigger mix of plants included
lots of shrubs, small trees and particularly conifers. Many of the
containers were sq and still lots of hi glaze but in dark colors.
I attended 9 seminars on various topics. I heard both of D Hinckleys.
Especially enjoyed Sean Hogan also.
I did purchase plants and packed them in my luggage as my friend always
does. I purchased a sm Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Baby Blue' for a trough,
Leucothoe fontaneslana 'Rainbow' for a container, daylily 'Destined to See' and a
yellow dahlia tuber. Also got a couple art items one of which is for a
neighbors birthday.
Oh my the weather has been extremely cold since returning home. I
believe we broke some records again but this time for the coldest weather on
record for a given day. Our furnace failed yesterday when it was below zero but
after two service calls it was restored. Today the garbage disposal died.
Tomorrow it is predicted to be warmer and that should bring better happenings.
I am trying to catch-up on all your chatter. Andrea, I am so sorry you
didn't find happiness in the midwest but you would not have known had you not
tried. I wish you well.

I'm trying to set variables with a Perl5 regexp pattern, such as :
This doesn't want to work and always returns 0 (zero).
This probably comes from the {} and $ that are inside the regexp.
Is there a way to disable Jelly evaluation before setting the variable,
so that it would be sent
'as is' and Jelly would not try and evaluate it first ?
Something like "evaluateAttributes(boolean)" at the Tag level that would
be checked by Jelly before
trying to evaluate, or something like that ...

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Quantum Sarah on Elias Khoury's As Though She Were Sleeping, which is translated from the Arabic by Marilyn Booth and is available from Archipelago Books.
Here is part of her review:
Elias Khoury's As Though She Were Sleeping (Archipelago, 2012) is a love story, a family tragedy, and a journey through Levantine cultural history. Considering the radical stance of Khoury's other works – notably, Gate of the Sun, the first "magnum opus" of the Palestinian people – this novel is a more conservative project. The year is 1946. Milia, an apolitical Beiruti dreamer, leads a "double life": by inhabiting her dreams as fully as her waking life, she can speak with the dead and prophesy the future. Mansour, her wayward Palestinian husband, flees the harsh reality of his country by burying himself in sensual pleasures: ancient poetry, Milia's beauty, and Levantine cuisine. As political turmoil in the region escalates, Milia finds herself increasingly trapped by impending catastrophe and fears for her newly-conceived child. To cope, she turns to the dream world for insight, trekking backward and forward in time to converse with deceased family members and saints.
As Khoury explores Milia's life and dreams, he points to the many paradoxes of living in the "holy land." After all, this is the same soil where Cain murdered Abel. Its inhabitants inherit not just a rich cultural tradition, but also a dark and complicated legacy of madness. Mansour discovers that ". . . he had begun to loathe this land in which he lived. Can anyone truly live in a country saturated with legends and miracles and prophets? This is a country that drives anyone who lives here insane, he would think" (241). And Milia becomes increasingly obsessed with the fantastic tradition of fathers killing sons. Abraham planned to slaughter Isaac; God sacrificed Jesus; Milia's grandfather Salim nearly murdered his only son with a thrown rock. Will Milia's son be next?

"We lived in Harlem just, like, at the beginning of its gentrification, but my mom had our apartment since she was 18, she worked a retail job, but she worked on commission, so she made like, maybe, $75,000 or $80,000 a year, but our rent was so cheap since it was, like, rent-controlled, so our rent was, like, $300 a month for a two-bedroom apartment, so we always had extra money. I grew up very spoiled... like, I had everything: I had computers, I had videogames, I had dress-up clothes, I had lipstick, I had heels – not like, actual heels, play heels – I had dolls, I had birds, I had hamsters. My mom did a good job of keeping me stimulated."
So you can't really do the... "'I've come from the ghetto and it's really hard' thing? Well, I came from the ghetto, but it wasn't hard for us, y'know what I mean? Because I lived on the block with kids who were, like, crack babies. I had other aunts and uncles who lived in other parts of Harlem, and I'd go with my cousins and we'd be out on the street, y'know. I had a healthy juxtaposition of, like, good and bad."
Here we have Azealia Banks in her own words, transcribed from a recording I made in the plush schmoozing room above the White Cube gallery in Hoxton. The 20-year-old rapper, whose irrepressibly jaunty – and equally salacious – chant "212" is a weird paean to her native island, has come to rest on our sceptr'd one. She told me that, "like, Europe and the UK have just been sucking me up", and that she was currently living in London – though when I pressed for details she would only vouchsafe, "South-west."
But the important word in the above is "juxtaposition", because this is one smart young woman. "212" may contain such apparent solecisms as "I just wanna sip that punch with ya peeps and/ sit in that lunch if ya treatin'/ Kick it with ya bitch/ who come from Parisian/ She know where I get mine from and the season," yet when I asked Banks for an exegesis, her tone was professorial. She told me that "212" was largely recounted from the point of view of a hugely self-confident Manhattanite, whose street smarts and farouche attractions lead her to be pursued by all ages, ethnicities, genders and orientations, until the point in the song where she considers what a waste of time this gnarly hurly-burly is.
Professor Banks was poised, unflappable and utterly unembarrassed when it came to explaining the distinction between the c-word and the k-word (the c-word spelled with a k), both of which bedizen her lyrics. Apparently the former is soi-disant "nasty vagina" and therefore a synonym for "bitch", whereas the latter is gay argot for the desirably feminine. Properly corrected, I ventured that possibly her material was more acceptable on our foul-mouthed side of the pond than in her own linguistically correct homeland. But Professor Banks nixed this, saying there were always going to be haters everywhere. I thought I'd been doing pretty well at engaging with her outré material, but when I mused that I probably wasn't the ideal audience for songs such as "212" and "L8r", Banks observed tartly that half of her fans were, like, middle-aged white guys. I suppose I could've bridled at this stereotyping, but she speedily set me straight, pointing out that for a long time her songs existed only in the iTunes libraries of record-company execs.
Banks's sound has now broken out from this digitised ghetto: she has been seized upon by NME and recently finished its multi-date tour with other hot new acts. After 45 minutes in her presence, alternately infuriated, charmed and deeply impressed, I told her: "You're going to be huge – but probably first you should consider being normal size."
She is indeed a rearview-mirror dingle-dangle of a woman, but her ego is huge. She's also extremely beautiful, yet she's no ingénue: she attended the LaGuardia performing arts school and cut her teeth early doing musical theatre with the Tada! Youth Theater. When, in the course of our talk, she burst spontaneously into song, I almost swooned at the coloratura and melodic purity of her voice.
I would say look out for Banks in the future, but that would be more of a solecism than any of her k-words, because it will soon be absolutely impossible to avoid her.
Azealia Banks's debut EP, '212', is out next Sunday
The sunglasses
Gemma Hayward says: Cat-eye sunnies are the shape of the season, so top marks here. The hot-pink shade ties in nicely with the ultra-feminine look for summer, without watering down Azealia's punchy personality.
Hugh montgomery says: From her twitter feed to her sunglasses, (totally Gary Larson's Far Side, btw) Banks's casual battiness puts all those "I'm Mad Me" pop tarts to shame.
The jacket/top
Gemma says: A vintage-style shearling jacket dresses up this simple cartoon T-shirt a treat – part of Banks's signature style is adding pizzazz to the most unlikely of pieces.
Hugh says: Effortlessly eclectic. Should we compare this to a summer's day, it would be one soundtracked by rare funk cuts and featuring unfeasibly convivial games of park Frisbee.
The shorts
Gemma says: Those who dare to wear a pair of classic Daisy Duke denim cut-offs usually do so because they know they have great legs. As far as that goes, there's very little to add here. Bravo!
Hugh says: Because, come rain or shine, there's a never a bad time for denim hotpants when you're in training for the role of festivals queen.Reuse content

Hi, I Need help to redirect jsp url request from apache 1.3.6 to weblogic 4.5.1 with query string. We have two firewalls, behind the first firewall there is a first apache server. From the first apache server we are connecting to second apache server which is behind the second firewall, the second apache server needs to talk to a weblogic server which is also behind the second firewall to process some jsp stuffs. Example: from first apache to second apache the URL is http://secondapache.com/jspfiles/login.jsp?id=100&name=abcd, when this request comes to second apache, we need to add a URL redirect from the second apache server to weblogic server because all jsp stuffs are in the weblogic, the url for weblogic server is http://weblogicserver.com:7001/jspfiles/login.jsp. Please help me what I need to add into second apache server httpd.conf file. Our environment is: First Apache Server is 1.3.12 version, Solaris 2.7 on separate machine. Second Apache Server is 1.3.6 version, Solaris 2.7 on separate machine. Weblogic Server is 4.5.1-sp7 version, Solaris 2.7 on separate machine.
