KAU Doctoral Courses is a database with doctoral courses at Karlstad University.
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:
- give an account of the blasphemous counter text as a literary mode and of its features and characteristics,
- identify theoretical issues of relevance to the blasphemous text and independently elaborate on these,
- demonstrate considerable skills in advanced literary analysis,
- give a detailed account of and critically analyse dominant theories and academic movements in blasphemy research, and
- relate these to the general theory of genres and modes in an informed way.
The aim of the course is that students substantially develop their knowledge of the theory of genre and modes, with an emphasis on the blasphemous text as a counter text, further develop their competence in literary criticism and their skills in analysing and interpreting literature. The course deals with blasphemy as a textual and rhetorical mode through the study of literary texts from different epochs in relation to the texts or ideological systems that they challenge.
