Course summary

Both Literature and Media investigate how texts and different forms of popular culture impact on, and are impacted by, the world around them. On this course you will investigate the styles, techniques and artistic decisions behind various texts and media. However, you will also always be thinking about their relevance to the political, social and historical contexts they are part of. In your Literature modules you will have the opportunity to choose from a varied selection of periods and genres. You will not study only well known classics, but also expand your understanding by going beyond the canon to hear from voices on the margins of literary tradition. In your Media modules you will broaden your knowledge further by investigating the history, nature and impact of media. As with your Literature modules, you will go beyond a traditional western view of media to take a global view. You will also reflect on the power dynamics behind contemporary media, and consider how media responds to and impacts on the biggest political and social issues of our time.There will be many opportunities to go beyond the classroom and get more from your degree. This might include:-Getting involved with the writing, publishing and promotion of Neutral magazine-Attending talks and workshops at the annual York Literature Festival-Taking part in field trips, which could include an international trip in your final yearIf you want to get to know the Literature department, have a look at our @YSJLit Twitter feed, or visit our very popular Words Matter blog, run by a team of staff and students. You could also watch York St John Literature alumni Claire Fenby (also known as YouTube vlogger Reading Bukowski) speak about her time at York St John.
