Deskripsi:
This course provides students with a basic conceptualization of literary and non-literary texts that cover distinctions, formats, styles, patterns, elements, and working mechanisms of both texts. The course proceeds in the light of conventional and modern perspectives; the former being traditional views on (non-)literary texts, the latter being contemporary insights which see (non-)literary texts as parts of active cultural products (thus including personal diaries, travel writings, media journals, memoirs, and the like). Students will gain a background knowledge useful to support their later advanced literary studies.
