Description

A number of recent studies in literary and cultural theory have focused on issues such as the nature of reader-text interaction, the complex of processes involved in the production (writing) and reception (reading) of texts, and the culturally constructed nature of readers and writers.

This subject utilises students' responses to 'literary' texts, and their writing/rewriting/transformation of parallel text as a basis for reflexive analysis of the processes involved in response to literature and the necessary connections between reading and writing.
