Methodology

In this subject, a methodology typical of the theory of literature, comparative literature and cultural studies will be used, focusing on feminist studies, gay and lesbian studies and queer/cuir theory. Dialogues are established with de/construction, crip theory, digital studies. Interdisciplinary dialogue with Law and Philosophy is encouraged. The contributions of the textual turn, the body turn, the affective turn and the ethical turn are also present.

The modality of the classes will be online and professors may teach in the following ways: 1) video conference classes, 2) course materials and bibliography sending, with periodic follow-up sessions via videoconference, or 3) texts and materials sending, with communication via email, that fully replace live classes.

The classes of the subject will be distributed in sessions and/or audio and video pills in which the professors will explain the content, on the one hand; and debates-dialogues or presentations by the students themselves, on the other hand. If, due to internet connection problems, some students would face difficulties in making oral presentations, the possibility of presenting a pill (audio or video) is contemplated, subject to prior agreement with the respective teacher.

The compulsory texts of the subject will be uploaded to the virtual campus more than 15 days  in advance so that the students can arrive with them read to the classes.

  • In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weight will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer themfeasible alternatives.

 

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
