School of English - AUTh

This course aims to introduce students to narrative studies and literary studies and ask questions such as: What is narrative? Why and how do we read/ listen to /watch narratives? How do we tell a story through words, but also images and sounds? What is narrative’s relationship with the different arts and media? What is the relationship between narrative and society, identity, history, and truth? Through a variety of sources, the course will approach various aespects of stories via the wider frame of narrative practice and critical reading. It also aims at creating the basis for a more specialized/targeted and interdisciplinary analysis of literary and film production supplementing and complementing in this way the first-year workshops on poetry, drama and fiction.
