This unit introduces students to the important notion of literary forms and genres which provides a complementary way of approaching literature to the previous semester's unit. In this unit, students will be encouraged to explore the concept of a literary text by analysing and studying a range of modes including the short story, short prose fiction, poetry, intergeneric writing and the concept of orality and textuality. The theme that the texts will engage with is that of Writing the City which includes texts from different historical periods and cultures. -- Course Website
