BA000147-Literatures in English II / Group: LI11 / 2015 - 2
Prof. Rodrigo Faveri Historical contexts: Realism, [Naturalism], Modernism, Contemporaneity. Thematic context: The relationship between humans and other animals. Analytic context: production, distribution/circulation, reception. Objectives: The main objective of the course is to reflect upon the role of the perception of reality, the conception of the natural that spams from that and the relationship that humans stablish with other animals from those two constructions. It will be done through the reading, interpreting and comprehending processes in literary works by authors from 19 th and 20th centuries. Methodology: Based on previous reading and initial interpretation/understanding (contextualization), the presentation of the main theme will be delivered together with a series of discussion topics. Subsequent writing manifestation will be stimulated on the students. These are the steps into comprehension and awareness of the content on the reading material: 1. Reading; 2. Interpreting; 3. Understanding; 4. Discussing; 5. Writing. *Each class will be based in this five steps structure of meaning elucidation being proposed. For more detailed explanation on the methods of interpretation used in this course, see Dascals articles in the reference section below. Classes will also bring summaries for the reading materials in focus at the time of the class. Subsequent discussion of the polemic topics of the text will follow. It should always be taken into account the fact that we are dealing with texts that participate in a certain communicative circuit, in which the context of production is in the beginning, passing through the context of distribution, and ending up in the context of reception (our own). Therefore, it is important to have in mind the historical existence of the work in question in order to have a complex perspective of its meanings. Evaluation: The evaluation (exams and participation) will be worth 90% of the final grade. The additional voluntary work will be in the form of a small research project to be presented in any form in a 15-20 minute session. The schedule for students presentations will be negotiated along as the proposals emerge

by the students initiative or the instructor suggestions. Deepening in one of
the aspects of narrative in relation to the readings may be regarded as the main course of the instructor suggestions to be considered by the students. Students will need achieve at least 60% of the total amount in order to succeed in the discipline. Participation in the reading group is optional. *Usual basic kind of question: What do you perceive in the text as relevant? How do you contextualize your reading and interpretation of the text? The questions in the tests will always be made with reference to the fictional works read in conjunction with the theoretical approach being used to interpretation. The evaluation activities will be: - (1) Midterm exam [30%] - (1) Final exam [40%] - Class participation (making questions, presenting ideas and discussing topics during the class) [20%] - (1) Additional voluntary work and/or reading group participation [10% plus] - (1) Retake test (if necessary)

Plagiarism warning Plagiarism is: (Adapted from Professor Paul Brians from Washington State University) 1. Submitting someone else's work as your own; 2. Copying something from another source without putting it in quotation marks or citing a source (you must do both); 3. Using an idea from a source without citing the source, even when you do not use the exact words of the source. 4. Any time you use a book, article, or reference tool to get information or ideas, which you use in a paper, you must cite it by providing a note stating where you got the information or idea, using ABNT parenthetical annotation. You do not need to cite material from classroom lectures or discussions. If you are not certain whether you need to cite a source, check with me in advance. 6. Duplicating someone else's notes to answer study questions is also a form of plagiarism. 7. Anyone caught plagiarizing will get the lowest grade (zero) in the whole activity (be it a test or other form of evaluation) and/or will be subject to fail the semester. Besides that, the case will be reported at the NDE (Ncleo de Desenvolvimento Educacional) meetings. (For the original source, see < http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/anglophone/492syllabus.html >)
