Prosimy zapoznać się z krótkimi opisami kursów:
prof. K. Ciepiela, English Grammar Beyond the Sentence
The goal of this course is to deepen and broaden the knowledge of the relationships among parts of the sentence, to understand how form and meaning are related, and to describe how sentences flow into larger pieces of discourse. This course presumes prior background knowledge of the English syntax on the part of the student and the material is not going to be completely accessible to students with only a rudimentary knowledge of English grammar. Grammatical constructions are discussed in terms of their form, meaning, and function in discourse. Students are expected to master advanced knowledge of English grammar but at the same time they come to understand the functional potential the system has in constructing larger stretches of language beyond clauses or sentences.
prof. A. Cichosz, Eald Englisc for beginners
This course of Old English as a foreign language will cover all the basics of the Old English language, giving students access to simple texts written in this language, and some more advanced literature (with the help of glossaries and dictionaries). You can expect language and translation exercises just like during a regular course of a foreign language, on the basis of online and printed materials, accompanied by presentations on selected aspects of the Anglo-Saxon culture and everyday day.
prof. D. Chansky., A Century of African American Women Playwrights
African American women have been writing plays at least since the Harlem Renaissance and the American Little Theatre Movement (1910s-1920s). Over the course of a century, Black playwrights have addressed racism, African American history, urban blight, a changing workplace, and Black American womanhood in a variety of styles ranging from so-called kitchen sink realism to comedy, fantasy, and abstraction. The readings in the course do not exhaust the possibilities for study but they will get you attuned to a rich trove of varied, important writing.
prof. A. Łowczanin, What has made the British British: fact and representation
During these classes we are going to have a closer look at various facets of British identity, and examine historical factors which have shaped it. The course will centre on three main issues: gender, class, and national identity. We will start by examining a short essay by Virginia Woolf to study the expression of feminist consciousness during the first wave of feminism and determine if the concerns she voices have any relevance for readers today. Essays by George Orwell and novels by Evelyn Waugh and Sarah Waters will be analysed as examples of post-war anxieties connected with the redefinition of class and social belonging. Finally, we will look at the problems of nationality and multiculturalism from the angle of colonialism, born with the idea of the British Empire, and postcolonialism, the consequence of its downfall. In this closing part of the course we look at how the British represented themselves in the colonies on the basis of two short novels by Ruth Jhabvala and J.M Coetzee, and test the relevance of Englishness in the novel by Hanif Kureishi, which successfully combines the problems of gender and identity, while grappling with the themes of religion, ethnicity, and a sense of belonging.
dr. J. Milewski, Queer Literature and Theory
What is queer? The term is notoriously difficult to define. It does not offer a stable meaning, but rather contests and invites critical exploration of that which is not normative, especially in the field of gender and sexuality. This course will center upon the contemporary notion of queerness, both in critical theory and in literature, helping students understand the former and apply it in their analyses of the latter. The classes will involve reading a selection of major works by American queer writers and seminal texts from the field of queer theory.
