Course Aims

'The Art of Life Narrative' is an English course that introduces students to the theory and practice of life narrative in diverse forms. It combines a thematic focus with an exploration of key concepts and ideas such as memory, identity, gender, history, place and language when discussing questions of forms and narrative strategies. Students will develop critical analytical and interpretative skills through exploring various literary and cultural productions, such as auto/biography, personal essays, memoirs, diaries, graphic narrative, documentaries and video art produced in different cultural and historical contexts. This course emphasizes students' self-reflexivity and engagement with their own experiences when exploring various life narratives and composing that of their own.
