ENGL 3044 - Body Culture Text

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

The broad aim of this course is to look at texts and topics that raise issues of embodiment and identity using contemporary theories and methodologies from literary and cultural studies. The course is organised around literary texts and cultural topics and the primary focus is on examining these texts and topics. However, students are expected to read widely in literary and cultural studies and to situate their analyses of texts and topics by engaging with theories, methodologies and debates that are introduced in the course. These theories, methodologies and debates will be concerned with identities and how they are constructed in relation to some or all of the following as they relate to the body: race (including whiteness); indigeneities; gender; sexualities (both heterosexualities and non-heterosexualities) and body modifications.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Weekly lectures will introduce students to important
    theoretical knowledges and cultural debates around embodiment and identities.
    Lectures will be recorded and posted on MyUni. This will enhance access and
    flexibility for many students, and will support the learning efforts of,
    students from non-English speaking backgrounds, including international
    students.

    Weekly seminars will be devoted to in-depth discussion of
    lecture materials, and to close reading and discussion of the set texts
    inspired and guided by student leadership, with a view to expanding
    students’ knowledge. Seminar leadership will involve in class discussions in both
    small and large groups in order to facilitate greater participation in
    discussion by all students. In the context of both small and large group
    discussion, students will have maximum opportunity to articulate their thinking
    and will continually learn from each other.

    Writing activities will allow student to research, process, reflect on and write on texts, topics and ideas presented in the lectures and seminars.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
