【Course Objectives】

This course will have two goals: 1) to introduce students to the study of comparative literature and 2) to read various literary works written in English and compare them.

【Course Contents】

In this class, students will develop their understanding of comparing texts and of comparative literature. Discussion topics will include, but will not be limited to, gender issues, class conflict, and racial/ethnic conflict. Students will read texts from American literature, focusing on the genres of Modernism and Post-Modernism. Students will be asked to draw comparisons between specific stories and poems as well as the characters and the situations in the stories. They may also make comparisons between the authors that wrote the stories and poems.

It is strictly forbidden to use AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude, CoPilot, etc.), auto-generated translations (e.g. Google Translate, DeepL, Linguee, etc.), and other types of technological "cheats" to complete classwork and reports; students who are caught using AI will receive a zero for the assignment and may be ineligible to pass the course.

【学生が準備すべき機器等 / Equipment, etc., that Students Should Prepare】

Students must use a laptop PC or tablet (ipad, surface, etc.) to join the Zoom class. Students are NOT allowed to join on their cellphones, due to problems with technology used in the classroom. Students should bring earphones if they join from campus because they will speak out loud and listen to their classmates during discussions. Students must join from the designated classrooms or their home. Students are not allowed to join Zoom from other locations, such as club rooms, cafes, outside, etc. because the internet becomes unstable, it is noisy, and disrupts the class.
