Presentation Options:

1.   Identify, illustrate and explain what you consider the single most important feature of ‘modernism’ or the ‘literature of modernity’ .

In your talk, you may want to reference at least one major text encountered on the module, and commonly discussed aspects of modernism (such as those mentioned in the ‘aims’ section of the module handbook - see below).

2.   Select ONE major literary text encountered on the module, and discuss it in relation to ONE contemporary or near-contemporary ‘source’ in the Modernism: An Anthology textbook.

In your talk, you may want to contextualize your texts in terms of authors, groups and historical events, as well as commonly discussed aspects of modernism (such as those mentioned in the ‘aims’ section of the module handbook - see below).

3.   Discuss  a  translation  of  a  text  encountered  on  the  module,  exploring  what  the translation may contribute to understanding and appreciation of the original.

In your talk, you may want to refer to a variety of existing or ‘canonical’ translations and  the  contexts  of  their  production,  as  well  as  commonly  discussed  aspects  of modernism (such as those mentioned in the ‘aims’ section of the module handbook - see below).

Self-assessment

After the presentations are complete, you will be asked to complete a brief self-assessment, reflecting  on what you  did  well, what  might  have  gone  better,  and  what  you  think  you learned. Yourself-assessment will not contribute towards the final mark, but will be reviewed and may be referenced in feedback from the module leader.

Educational Aims of the Module

This  module  introduces  students  to  literary  modernism  and  other  literary  responses  to modernity in the first forty years of the twentieth century. Through close readings of a range of texts, the  module aims to  help students contextualize  modernist writing as an artistic response   to    a    period    of    unprecedented   change,   connecting   the    radical    stylistic experimentation that  characterizes  much  of this  writing with the  historical  changes  that transformed European society in the early-20th century – from new technologies, wars and pandemics, to the advent of mass democracy and women’s liberation.

Assessment criteria

Module   learning    outcomes   (see    below)   and    the   standard   XJTLU    marking   criteria. Presentations are assessed on: adherence to the time limit; the coherence and cohesion of the content, including any visual aids; the understanding and critical application of relevant concepts;  and  the  overall  clarity  and   communicative  efficacy   of  verbal  and   nonverbal communication, with particular reference to the presentation and interpretation of primary and critical sources.

Learning Outcomes assessed

Students completing the module successfully should be able to:

A.  read  and work  critically with  literary texts  in  English  and  in  translation,  reflecting  the diversity of ‘modernist’ literature produced between 1900 and 1940

B. relate the effects of the texts on the reader to the techniques used by the author, and in reference to the seismic social changes of the early-twentieth century

C. reflect critically upon the methodologies and terminology used in appraising these texts 

D. structure a coherent, critically informed, and theoretically reflective analysis of selected texts and specific passages
