The B.A. in English offers a three-fold approach to the study of literature, media, and visual texts. First and foremost, we train students in the careful observation and analysis of these texts: their use of language, sound, and visual images in creating meaning. For example, how do elements of a text such as imagery or metaphorical language shape an argument?
Second, we stress the connections between how textual meaning and the cultures in which texts are created and read. We explore how what people were doing, thinking, and feeling shape how they create and interpret texts at different times and places. How do social categories such as class, race, or gender influence the creation and interpretation of texts?
Third, we emphasize the importance of theory to the interpretation as well as production of texts. To this end, we read a sampling of the most influential thought about how literature and media function in culture to create assumptions, ideas and emotions about the world.
