Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. The classes will take place online and will combine synchronous elements (probably biweekly) with asynchronous elements. This course explores how subjectivity has been presented in the British literature in the past 100 years. Although the main novels explored are from Britain, the theories we read and explore cross geographical and other borders to explore how to write affectively, and how to write about affect. We will explore what affect means for various different theorists. We begin by exploring modernist affects and the writings of Virginia Woolf – extracts from her autobiographical ‘A Sketch of the Past’ and a novel Mrs Dalloway. We move on to post-war literature and postmodernism, and read Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea and extracts from her autobiographical Smile Please. We then end up in the present moment, reading Joanna Walsh’s break.up and Zadie Smith’s ed essays. In the final part of the course, we explore contemporary terms like metamodernism and autofiction. Throughout the module, we will explore how subjectivity can be written affectively, and what is the role of authorship and lived experience in writing affectively and about affects. We wonder about whether literature as such is driven by a desire for affective connection. The aim of the course is also to highlight the continuities between feminist theories and affect theories, and postcolonial theories and affect theories. One of the central authors who will be studied in this module for understanding affect and its relation to feminism and postcolonialism is Hélène Cixous. Dozentin: Eret Talviste
