Prof Anne Freadman| Subject Overview: | There are many genres of non-fiction writing; studying them requires a combination of the techniques of literary and cultural studies, and opens up into the relation between language and society. Some of these genres are personal and some of them are public, and many of them can travel between these two poles. Depending on staff availability, this subject will focus on (a) personal journals, or (b) journalism, or perhaps (c) a combination of the two. Students will study both how to read, and how to write in these genres, as well as the uses that are made of them and their implications. |
|---|---|
| Assessment: | 2 x textual analysis exercises (35%); 2 x writing exercises (35%), submitted regularly through the semester; 1 test (reading and writing) at the end of semester (30%). |
