€9,150 /Yr

Of course, students will learn to read critically and to apply a range of theoretical perspectives - from structuralism and post-modernism to feminism and post-colonialism. But students will also study literature's visual language: film, television series, comics, illustrations, and more. 19th Century novels were often illustrated and Game of Thrones fans have undoubtedly read the books and watched the HBO series - and the one inevitably impacts the other.

From a societal perspective, students will examine why some books have entered the literary canon and others have been marginalized - and the culture that has promoted that difference. In fact, questioning the culture around them will become a key part of your lexicon: students will become more self-reflexive, questioning where their opinions originate, as well as broader issues like political oppression and their involvement in it.

Literature and Society aren't only about reading - it's about writing, too. Writing well academically, but also writing creatively: finding student's own voice, learning how to give and receive feedback on their work, and getting an understanding of the publishing process.

Uniquely in the Netherlands, it focuses on literature, with only a small linguistic component. It's a program for avid readers and critical thinkers: for all those who want to understand the story behind the story - in society as in literature.
