HIS4013M-2021-22-SEM2-A HIS4013M | Empires | 2021-22 SEM2 (Group A)
We live in a post-imperial world, where the legacies of the great empires still dominate the political and social landscape. Our relationship to the concept of imperialism has changed dramatically in recent years, and where once empires were praised and admired, now nations are becoming distinctly embarrassed or uneasy with their own imperial heritage. Yet they have shaped our own modern political landscapes, as well as those of the ancient, medieval and early modern periods.
In this module we draw upon Britain and Rome as examples of empires operating at different points in history. Whilst they may share ideas, they nonetheless operated in entirely different social, religious and political spheres. We shall consider their rise to power, their dominance over other polities, and their fall and defeat. We shall also reflect upon the imperial legacies offered by each, and how these were reworked and reimagined.
This module is designed to enable students to understand the experience of imperialism by comparing empires from diverse geographical and chronological contexts. It will allow for an understanding of the term ‘Empire’, and the importance of imperial powers throughout history. It will encourage comparative skills and source analysis.

LIT4005M-2023-24-SEM2-A LIT4005M | Theorizing Literature: Power and Identity | 2023-24 SEM2 (Group A)
This module takes as its premise that to understand the social value of literary texts, we need to engage with theoretical accounts of the different ways power can be accumulated, contested, and diffused across social groups. Building on bell hooks’ contention that to understand power we need to understand how systems are interconnected, the module takes an intersectional approach to discussions of power and identity.
We will be introducing you to a number of theoretical and critical ideas, concepts, and writers over the course of semester 2 in order to help you unpack and critique the ways that social, cultural, political, ideological, and physical power and identities are conveyed, complicated, interrogated and endorsed by a diverse range of authors. We will discuss the ways that power and identities are presented and contested in poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and plays. We will examine theoretical ideas about gender, sexuality, race, class, disability, and national identity as well as the intersections between these categories.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the module, you will be able to:
1. Critically reflect on using basic theories and concepts as a means of interpreting literary texts;
2. Communicate knowledge of the use of basic theories and concepts in relation to literary texts and criticism
3. Develop an accurate and reliable vocabulary appropriate to the study of literary theory, identity and power.

LIT5004M-2023-24-SEM2-A LIT5004 | Literature at Work | 2023-24 SEM2
This module uses experiential learning, reflection and literary engagement to help you to clarify your own values and begin to consider potential ways in which you can build on these—and the transferable skills developed throughout your degree—in your life after study. It is particularly interest in exploring:
- The relationship between work and identity in literature, culture and a range of “career” contexts.
- The roles literary study might play when planning for and engaging in life after study; for example, how it can help you to clarify and articulate your values; how it might equip you with widely transferable skills such as analysis, synthesis, comprehension and expression across a broad range of registers.
- The function of critical reflection techniques in both literary engagement and continued professional development.
- The various and specific ways in which you are developing your YSJ Graduate Attributes across all aspects of your study.
