Deskripsi:
This course explores literature in its current definition i.e. meaningful text as the (re)product of a certain culture. This includes the traditionally perceived literary genres (poetry, prose, drama, etc.) as well as their modern counterparts (articles, speeches, travel writings, billboards, games, media, etc.) The course concentrates upon the activation of power as it disperses into various forms of the “brick and brack” of culture. With the critical thinking skills acquired through the course, it is expected that students are able to offer alternative solutions to problems related to socio-cultural issues and the political economy of an era or of a nation, and to conduct research on socio-cultural phenomena.
