The aim of this course is to introduce a selection of contemporary literary trends, categories and notions. The lectures focus
on theoretical points of departure of postmodern British literature, American literature, postcolonial literature, as well as some
tendencies in children?s literature of the English-speaking countries (especially the controversial question of the canon).
Students will work with texts by theoreticians such as Brian McHale, Linda Hutcheon, Patricia Waugh, Michel Foucault,
Stephen Greenblatt and Edward Said.
