Item A course in Contemporary British Fiction for Master’s Students of Literature and Interdisciplinary Approaches(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi-ouzou, 2024) CHABANE CHAOUCH SarahLiterature refers to an imaginative written literary text, especially poetry, drama and fiction. Writers can rely on different literary genres, such as realistic, romance, thriller, dystopian fiction, and speculative fiction. They also introduce contemporary themes including gender, history, multiculturalism, and nature. This course introduces some contemporary themes for Masters’ students. The introduction delves into the complex realm of postmodernism, elucidating its fundamental tenets. This lecture focuses on Linda Hutcheon’s A Poetics of Postmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction because it is the main theoretical framework that explains postmodernism. The first chapter delves into multiculturalism in The Buddha of Suburbia. It defines multiculturalism and explains its main concepts, elucidating its core themes such as racism, hybridity, belonging, and integration within British society. The second chapter deals with dystopian literature and science fiction, offering a compelling reflection of humanity’s fear of advancing technology. The last chapter investigates ecocriticism and climate change in Ian McEwan’s SolarItem Classical and Neo-classical Literature : Greek and Medieval(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi-Ouzou, 2024) KHELIFA ArezkiThe semester syllabus below is displayed in a chronological order, starting with Aeschylus and finishing with Aristophanes. The first lecture consists of explaining Aeschylus’s art by referring to his remaining works. His initiative in performative and aesthetic creativity was to be emulated and enriched by Sophocles. And always from a chronological perspective, readings and discussions of Euripides’s and Aristophanes’s plays will follow during this same semester. The reason for arranging this module’s program in a chronological pattern rather than any other is that it is intended to indicate some very significant aesthetic changes in the historical development of Greek Tragedy as art. As for the way all of these masterpieces will be read and commented, it is relevant to make reference to Aristotle’s aesthetic characteristics about Greek tragedy in order to make students re-explore the Greek myths and assimilate the inextricable links between the selected plays and the aesthetic principles of Greek tragedy as defined by Aristotle. Some of these principles, as explained in the first lecture/lesson, will constitute a core point to this module’s teaching over the whole semester. Other appeals to modern philosophical perspectives might also be made for the purpose of signaling effective influence of Greek tragedy upon modern literature
