Major literary works we will study in the 2010 session

We are now in the final stages of preparing the Memory course for the 2010 session. It looks like we will have groups of about 5 students from each of our three partner programmes at University College London, University of Aarhus and University of Lisbon. During the coming term, starting January 11, we will be discussing Julian Barnes' novel England, England and Joseph O'Neill's Netherland. As in last year's session we shall introduce the study of cultural memory with the Chicago World Exhibition, and we will also be discussing the film, Babel, and the relationship between new media and new conceptions of media by looking at digital sites of memory in Second Life. An exciting 10 week term is ahead of us.
