ENGL 9017 - Genre, Adaptation and Hybridity


3 cr.
In this course we will study writers who create literature in more than one genre or who defy genre by destabilizing fixed systems of classification. Artistic combinations include poet/novelist, poet/musician and novelist/screenwriter. The course considers an author’s thematic and stylistic consistencies from one genre to another, as well as his or her reasons for choosing to write in one particular genre. Also, the course will address hybridity as a concept in identity and its corresponding multi-generic textual expression. We will consider theories of adaptation and links between originals and adaptations.
