Study Notes
Introduction to the Study of Literature and Culture
- Study: Reading professionally involves analyzing theories, structures, contexts, and ways texts create meaning. Focus on fictional texts and their references to real life.
- Literature: Examined in this course as fictional texts, not just referential ones.
- Culture: Cultural studies examine practices, not just art or media. Practices are governed by unspoken rules, and cultural studies borrow concepts from history, linguistics, and sociology.
- English Language: English isn't limited to a single nation's use, and its terminology can be complex and global. Many countries produce English-language literature.
- Importance of English: The English language is heavily associated with colonization, power, slavery, and imperialism. It's tied to historical events like colonization and its associated power dynamics. Learning English necessitates recognition of its historical context. English's influence is still significant today, particularly through media.
- Reading Strategies: Quick reading for comprehension, careful examination of language, noting detail in texts, reading aloud for rhythm and patterns, and careful note-taking are crucial.
- Science of Reading: Our brains recognize patterns of letters and words to interpret texts, even when parts are missing. This ability is vital for reading and understanding.
