Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to encourage students to have an independent, critical and rational capacity of analysis, to train students in an engaged, informed and perceptive reading of a variety of lyrics in English, to provide students with the ability to compare lyrics of different kinds, and to teach them how to use theoretical tools and secondary sources in an independent and critical fashion. The students will also be encouraged to creatively respond to different kinds of music lyrics in English.
Osnova
  • This course explores the borderline between Anglophone literature and music, its delimitation and possible transgressions. Music lyrics of recognized songwriters will be viewed as poems whose musical renditions add new horizons to them and underscore the essential musicality of poetry. Themes, motifs and distinctive styles of the individual artists coming from various areas of the English-speaking world will also be analyzed.
