Course Outcome (COs)
SL.NO. | NAME OF THE COURSE | COURSE OUTCOME |
1 | Core Course 1: [EN010101] – Up Until Chaucer: Early Literatures in English | At the end of this course, the student will be able to make senseof the major themes in Ancientand Medieval English literature as an expression of Anglo-Saxon culture and society as it emerges into a Britain-consciousness; also, the student will be equipped to access and understand the personal experiences of people living in a society very different from our own. |
2 | Core Course 2: [EN010102] -Literatures of the English Renaissance | Objectives:The course is designed to familiarise the students with the literature, thought and culture of the Renaissance period in England, a historical watershed marking the transition from the medieval to the modern. It is also designed as a theoretical/critical reading of the era and the texts in the light of recent theoretical interventions like New Historicism and Cultural Materialism which had a special interest in Renaissance texts. Representative works of the period have been selected with a view to instilling in the students a capacity to appreciate Renaissance writings bearing the stamp of radical changes in the outlook and ways of life. |
3 | Semester 1 – Core Course 3: [EN010103] -Literatures of the English Revolution/ Enlightenment | This course familiarizes the learner with the English literary texts which reflect the austere Puritan ideals of the late seventeenth century, the neoclassical vigour of the eighteenth century considerably influenced by the philosophy of the Enlightenment and the perspectival shift manifested in the transitional literature towards the end of this era. |
4 | Core Course 4: [EN010104] -Nineteenth Century English Literatures | The course aims to familiarize students with the fundamental premises of the Romantic Movement and Victorian literature, their theoretical and ideological frameworks, and the major trends and offshoots across various genres. A rough time span of one and a half centurywhich witnessed an initial flowering of Romanticism, followed by the rapid growth of industrialization, scientific thinking and materialism all of which find expression in the texts chosen for study. |
5 | Core Course 5: [EN010105] – Literary Criticism | To familiarize the students with the key concepts and texts of literary criticism ever since its emergence, and to provide theoretical familiarity with the range, approaches, and mechanics of critique. |
6 | Core Course 6: [EN010201] – Modernity and Modernisms | To familiarize the students with the literary trends of the early twentieth century in the context of the sensibility of literary modernism in the wake of the World War. |
7 | Core Course 7: [EN010202] –Postmodernism and Beyond | This course aims to acquaint the learners with the postmodern works of literature which defy categorisation and prove to be experimental in nature, subverting what is conventionally revered as the norm. The learners are to be familiarised with the eclectic dimensions of postmodern thought as reflected in these literary works in which the boundaries that demarcate the different genres are often blurred. Such literature eludes fitting into the rigid frames of nomenclature and rejects the concepts of objectivity, absolute truth and the notion of the stratification into the high and the low culture. Further, it is keenly perceptive and critical of the underlying ideologies that nurture oppressive institutions. The emphasis is on acknowledging the heterogeneity of thought and articulation. |
8 | Core Course 8: [EN010203] -American Literatures | This course seeks to introduce the students to the most important branch of English literature belonging to the non- British tradition, The course attempts to provide detailed information to the student regarding the processes and texts chiefly responsible for the evolution of American Literature as a separate branch possessing characteristic features which sets it apart from others |

13 | Core Course 13: [EN010303] -Body, Text and Performance | The objectives of the course include facilitating an understanding of the basic structural, thematic and theoretical patterns which govern the poetic process, especially in its relation to the performative or the theatrical. |
14 | Core Course 14: [EN010304] -Literature and Gender | The course seeks to highlight the historic, thematic and cultural concerns that literature attempts against the backdrop of gender issues. A theoretical framework is provided whereby gender issues are examined, paying special attention to the fundamental political, religious and social issues that shape gender relations, thereby viewing gender as a fluid rather than a mere fixed hetero-normative Male-Female concept. |
15 | Core Course 15: [EN010305]-Ethics in/as Literature | The main objective of this course is to familiarise the student with certain ‘ethics’ that narrative fiction has adopted across centuries, continents and languages. It is expected that the student will be introduced to the various ethical, formal choices that schools, influences and narrative devices have upheld so as to shape narrative fiction into its present expressive plurality. |
16 | Core Course 16: [EN010401]-Cultural Studies | To introduce students to certain interpretive strategies commonly employed in Cultural Studies. Emphasis is on overt interdisciplinary approaches to exploring how cultural processes and artifacts are produced, shaped, distributed, consumed, and responded to in diverse ways. |
17 | Core Course 17: [EN010402]-Postcolonial Poetry | To introduce the students to the diversityof poetry coming from the erstwhile coloniesof the European Colonial Empires. To clear the ground from where the student can see how, beyond the general discursive constellations, there are regional specifics that ‘in a hybrid mode’ negotiate issues of sovereignty, language, race, gender, identity and place. |
