Preliminary skills and knowledge required 1. To know major stages of foreign literature evolution as well as dominant aesthetic and literary trends and tendencies within the world literature. 2. To use selected literary terms accurately. 3. To apply skills in analyzing literary texts.

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with a range of methods for the intermedia analysis of literary texts by exploring the specific nature of the interdisciplinary connections between literature and photography. The course focuses on the artistic features of how photographic texts function in literary works, drawing on a corpus of classical, contemporary, and modern literary phenomena from specific countries in Western Europe, Latin America, and the United States. In particular, the course involves the analysis of photographic discourse in the selected literary texts at the contextual, artistic-compositional, narrative, intertextual, and intermedial levels of their organization. Photographic text in the works selected for study is examined in connection with the cultural-historical, social, and aesthetic factors that mediate the artistic specificity of these texts, as well as with the distinctive photographic practices of their authors. The course is structured diachronically, specifically within theoretical and methodological connections to the history of foreign literature, literary studies, and, to some extent, translation studies, which contributes to deepening the skills of literary-critical analysis already acquired in previous courses, expanding the ability to interpret literary texts with distinct intermedia and multicultural components, as well as the practical application of the pedagogical potential of the acquired body of knowledge, skills, and competencies in future professional activities.

The course includes the following forms of academic activity: oral responses, contributions to class discussions, short presentations using audio and video materials, taking notes on literary-critical sources, presenting individual projects, and a final exam (which includes multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions). Instruction is delivered through lectures and practical sessions, and also involves the completion of individual projects and independent study.

The course final mark is calculated as a sum of ongoing assessment points and does not require any other forms of final control. Ongoing assessment is provided by class activities: oral personal responses, additional responses, class discussions, mini-presentation involving audio-visual materials (max 75/min 44 points); abstracts of literary and critical sources (max 6/min 4 points); presentation of individual projects (max 7/min 4 points) and final test completion (max 12/min 8 points). Total mark is max 100 \min 60 points. The students who do not meet the standard required for the lowest grade (min 60 points) will have to be assessed by completing self-study works and final test. Final point correlation scale According to 100-point scale Mark according to national scale 60–100 Passed 0–59 Fail
