授業概要 | Why do we study academic writing? Why do we read and discuss literature? What can we learn from doing these things? When we study literature, or any subject in the humanities, one key thing we are learning to do is make an effective argument. An argument is a way of using language in order to change or influence the way another person things. For example, perhaps your friend believes A is true, but you think B is true. You think your friend is mistaken, so you try to persuade your friend that A is wrong and that B is correct. You do this not by saying “B is wrong! A is right!” That will persuade no one. Instead, you summarize your friend’s belief in A, then show where and why A is wrong, and where and why B is correct. It is a process of summary, explanation and persuasion, with each step of the process using evidence and analysis. In the case of literature, we add interpretation. Your friend thinks a story means A, but you think it means B. Like the above argument, in order to convince your friend, you use summary, explanation and persuasion, along with evidence and analysis, to show that the story can mean A. |

授業の方法 | In the first half of the semester we will slowly and carefully learn why and how to argue. In the second half of the semester we will turn our attention to analyzing and interpreting a short story. In other words, the first half teaches the basics of argument; the second half applies those basics. Feedback will be provided in class or online when assignments are returned. 事前に授業担当教員の許可を得た者については、遠隔での参加を認める場合がある。Blackboard に配信する課題を提出することで代替措置とする。そのほか詳しいことは状況に応じて別途指示する。 |
