【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
This seminar is for students interested in literature, literary research, and composition. What separates a strong reading from a weak reading? How do critics and theorists evaluate and discuss a text? What tools and methods do researchers employ to deepen our understanding of a work of literature and its context? In this course, we will be exploring these questions through reading, researching, and discussing a selection of modern and contemporary pieces of short fiction.

【到達目標 / Goal】
Over the course of this seminar, students will:
(1) develop advanced close reading skills
(2) grasp the basic theory and methodology of literary research
(3) develop the ability to discuss prose fiction in multiple technical and theoretical contexts
