The human body has been depicted in a wide variety of different ways across a range of cultural and historical contexts. It has been described, variously, as a biological entity, clothing for the soul, a site of cultural production, a psychosexual construct and a material encumbrance. Each of these different characterisations brings with it a range of anthropological, biological, political, theological and psychological discourses that explore and construct identities and subject positions. The body is at once a locus of invention and self-expression, and also an object of domination and control. In contemporary culture it is also located atthe heart of debates about race, gender and sexuality. This course considers the ways in which the human body has been a central object of discussion in literature from the Renaissance onwards and encourages students to explore the politics of bodily representation.  \nStudents on this course will explore the variety of ways in which literature has presented the human body by discussing a range of literature published from the early-modern period to the end of the twentieth","cbCaihxOWhQsj9Ck","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihxOWhQsj9Ck","pdf",2001100,83,"English","# Semester One\n## Body in Literature\n## Contemporary British Drama\n## Creative Writing: Poetry\n## Creative Writing: Prose\n## Discourses of Desire: Sex, Gender, & the Sonnet Sequence\n## Edinburgh in Fiction/Fiction in Edinburgh\n## Fiction and the Gothic, 1840-1940\n## Haunted Imaginations: Scotland and the Supernatural\n## Modernism and Empire\n## Modernism and the Market\n## Novel and the Collapse of Humanism\n## Sex and God in Victorian Poetry\n## Shakespeare’s Comedies: Identity and Illusion\n## Solid Performances: Theatricality on the Early Modern Stage\n## The Cinema of Alfred Hitchcock\n## The Making of Modern Fantasy\n## The Subject of Poetry: Marvell to Coleridge\n## Working Class Representations\n# Semester Two\n## American Innocence\n## American War Fiction\n## Censorship\n## Climate Change Fiction\n## Creative Writing: Prose\n## Edinburgh in Fiction/Fiction in Edinburgh\n## Gender and Theatrical Representation\n## George Orwell and the Politics of Literature\n## Her Own Life\n## Mystery and Horror\n## Poetry, Politics and Place\n## Queering Fictions in the Twentieth Century\n## Reading Science Fiction\n## Robert Burns and the Eighteenth Century\n## Scottish Literature and the Religious Imagination\n## Shakespeare: Modes and Genres\n## Writing for Theatre: An Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What credit requirement must students meet before enrolling in these third-year option courses?\",\"answer\":\"Students must already have chosen at least 40 credits worth of English or Scottish Literature courses in their Third Year.
