fascinating language as it has advanced to its present form.

The Structure of Modern English course has been designed to intr oduce students to the sound,
structure, and meaning system of the English language. The course provides an orientation to both
the theoretical and practical components in the study of the structure of language. The internal

options to suit th e capabilities of advanced and intermediate students alike. As a graded course, it
is structured in a way that allows learners to progress from a basic comprehension of dis crete
elements of language such as sounds, syllables, words, phrases and clauses to an understanding of
language at the level of discourse. It is comprehensive in that it pays adequate attention to the
structure of language in its spoken and written form, and addresses both literary and non-literary
discourse. Overall, the course is desig ned to enable students to understand the formal aspects of
language, develop a vocabulary to discuss the structure of language, adopt a methodical and
scientific approach t o the study of language, and slo wly but surely increase confidence in their
ability to use and describe language in all its varied dimensions.

Objectives of the Course:
1) To enable students to understand Modern English in form, function, and mean ing.
2) To familiarise students with basic concepts in the grammar and linguistics o f Modern
English.
3) To develop the ability to analyse the structure of Modern English in speech and writing.
4) To enable students to distinguish between a variety of regist ers and discuss the syntactic
and stylistic characteristics of literary and non -literary discourse.

Outcome of the Course:
At the end of this course, students will
1) have developed a scientific approach to the study of Modern English.
2) have a cquired adequate knowledge of the rules of grammar and linguistics.
3) be able to understand style and usage in a variety of registers.
4) be able to apply their knowledge of la nguage to improve their proficiency in English.

Course Title: Introduction to Cultural Studies

Preamble:
Cultural Studies is a fledgling discipline that draws its inspiration from and is structured around
existing critical and theoretical foundations. Learners are enco uraged to interrogate existing
structures which determine representations of class, caste, gender, sexuality among others in order
to identify the privileged section of the binaries, the rationale for its existence and thereby attempt
to develop strategies to dismantle or implode the power structures that continue to perpetuate.
Cultural Studie s involves the critique of both cultural texts and practices using diverse
methodologies and critical theories.

A fairly nascent area of study, Cultural Studie s is an approach to studying culture that draws on
both social sciences an d humanities. Dr awing from diverse fields, cultural studies is a
nondisciplinary study involves diverse fields and a range of academic traditions. The lack of a
stable core, presents opportunities for the application of a range of critical perspectives all owing
for the po litical implications of the culture that involves the culture of the majority or mass culture.
Cultural Studies involves the four core areas of hegemony, semiotics, d iscourse and struggle over
meaning. Since Cultural Studies involves the st udy of cultural texts and practices of the majority,
it serves the important role of interrogating the power and control exerted over the majority by
the minority, provides opportuni ties to interrogate and dismantle structures of power and hence
becomes re levant as an are a for study. The most significant learning outcome of Cultural Studies

professions providing opportunities for employment.

Syllabus for TYBA Paper IX -A
Course: E lective Paper
Course Title: Literature and Science
Course Codes: UAENG506A & UAENG606A Preamble:
Literature and Science are two different aspects of the human mind and both the areas
had always been perceiv ed as two completely diverse fi elds of a cademic discourses which
actually is far from being true. However, Literature and science go hand in hand if we look
closely. Both emerged as a consequence of curiosity. Literature is born as a product of
imagination and curiosity whereas science is born a s a product of experimentation and
curiosity. Although both are considered different, yet they’re closely related. It is said that
science or its requisite elements concern with the facts, reasons, causes and effects whereas
literature also deals with the same but in modified forms and therefore the bond between
literature and science is truly indissoluble and cannot be denied at all. We are living in the era
where science and technology has become a matter of lived s ocial reality, a matter of dail y
consump tion. If literature is the mirror of society, then mirroring today’s reality will definitely
include an element of all pervasive science. Science has become the culture of twenty first
century and science -fiction the refore, has become its folklore . Scienc e-Fiction as a genre of
literature mixes literary art, scientific and philosophical speculations while evoking a sense of
wonder and thus functions as a fertile ground for interaction and integration of the two
seemi ngly different academic discour ses. Thi s course, therefore, is designed in such a way that
it provides an understanding of the complex relationship between Science and Literature and,
in the process, improves the dialogue between literature and science. I ntroducing Science
Fiction as a literary genre and its various components along with the recurring themes, ideas
and issues commonly dealt with, the course intends to build a compact base for understanding
the most popular genre of the twenty first century . Keeping in mind the vast dive rsity of the
genre, the course makes an attempt to be inclusive while choosing the representative stories
across the world. The immense popularity of the science fiction movies and texts is a testimony
to this statement. Ther efore, to keep up with the time , it is i mperative to include this most
popular genre into our academic syllabus.

Page 52

Syllabus for TYBA Paper IX -D
Course: Tri bal Literature and Culture
Course Codes: UAENG506D & UAENG606D

Preamble:
The study of tribal culture and literature has rightly gained momentum across the world and
has become an essential part of literary studies. Tribal Literature is one o f the crucial branches
of protest literature. It reflects the cultural diversity and can vas of a life distinct from the
mainstream. The abundant genres of tribal literature showcase tribal values from their
proximity to the environment and their agony resu lting from the conflict with the socalled
modern world.
It is important, therefore, that tribal literature and culture are introduced to undergraduate
students to encourage the research and translation of this vast area of study. This will lead them
to explore this hitherto neglected knowledge domain. Subseque ntly, they will understand a
different world from their own and generate an empathetic perspective towards that world.
This course has been designed to familiarise students with tribal culture and literature, not just
in India, but abroad as well. In Semester V, students will be briefly introduced to basic
concepts in the study of tribal culture and will study glimpses of tribal poetry and short stories
from across the world. Semester VI focus es on Indian tribal life and literature with critical
review s, poetry and a novel.

Objectives of the Course:
1. To familiarise students with tribal literature and culture in India and abroad
2. To acquaint students with the genre, tribal studies, as an independent discourse
3. To provide students a perspe ctive on the changing world of tribes through their literary
work
4. To facilitate interdisciplinary studies by helping students explore socio -cultural as well
as economic aspects of tribals' live s
5. To promote translation studies in tribal literature.

Outcome of the Course:
By the end of the course, students will be able to
1. Comprehend the life and literature of tribes in India and the world
2. Appreciate tribal literature in its ric hness and variety
3. Develop a renewed perspective about the different worldviews of tribes in India and the
world outside
4. Explore the variety of possibilities of research on tribal studies
