Syllabus
This unit approaches the topic of literature as a special domain of 'the government of culture', which it explores through a range of literary texts and through cultural theory. Students read a range of works with a governmental inflection, and investigate them by applying concepts drawn from social and literary theory. They study historical accounts of the development of literary education as a form of moral training, the relationship of censorship and obscenity law to literary texts, and consider various policy rationales for literary arts funding, with the aim of understanding how government and literature intertwine.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the unit, students will be able to:
1. investigate the relationship between literature and society;
2. understand the historically mutable relationship between literature and governance; and
3. demonstrate developed knowledge of literary and cultural theory.
