The discipline introduces the modern theory of literature and the methodologies developed within it for the analysis of an artistic work; main problem-thematic clusters in contemporary Anglophone literature. The course allows students to learn new categories and concepts related to the theory of literature. It involves reading original texts or fragments of texts. The subject of the academic discipline includes the analysis of examples of artistic prose and drama of contemporary Anglophone literature, which is seen through the prism of modern interpretive models and actualizes various contexts of meaning creation. Within the course, students, in addition to collaborative tasks, do individual tasks – they need to conduct the research, and its results are presented during the colloquium at the end of the semester.
