Learning outcomes

On completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1.Construct clear and coherent arguments about the evolution of the novel as a genre.
2.Analyse novels using recognised methods of literary and fashion criticism to substantiate and illustrate those arguments.
3. Competently evaluate critical references in order to support their argumentation.
4. Discuss about literary texts in relation to literary conventions, history and culture.

Program

The aim of the course is to provide a critical-methodological introduction to the study of English literature and culture during the 19th , 20th and 21 th century.
The course will analyse fashion’s mythic dimension and suggest that fashion is a language in itself. The methodological tools offered by fashion studies will be applied to the analysis of different novels in order to explore the impact and meaning of fashion in past and contemporary culture, and to investigate how fashion’s mythologies are constructed and disseminated through fictional texts. It will also examine how fashion, as a form of fiction, can be said to constitute a “power technology”: fashion can consort with hegemonic norms as a regulating force that can incite conformity, but sometimes resistance as well.
