our teachers gave us notes and notes and notes on the topic and articles/papers on the texts. Yours should have too, I will flick through it and note the websites and tell you.

We are doing post modernism in a class of about 15 people.. and i like the idea that we are a minority! (hopefully we can stand out abit!).. lol.. Those doing Post Modernism in 2004, which texts are you studying..?

We are doing
Italo Calvino - If On A Winter's Night A Traveller
Sally Potter - Orlando
John Fowles - The French Luitenants Women

 

[glycerine]

we're doing possession by a.s. byatt and adaptation for sure...not sure about the rest

 

[cheeky_panda]

adaptation - that would be an extra wouldn't it - i dont think it is on the list for prescribed texts - im doin adaptation in my extension 2. We are doing possession, olando and the french lieutenants woman?

ANyone have good notes on the flw??

 

[glycerine]

yeah i meant adaptation as an extra sorry... we're doing possession, orlando and dead white males

 

[punksk8er]

im studying olando, dead whiet males and the french lieutenants woman 4 PM. its interesting except 4 orlando which i think is possibly the most boring movie i have watched. Anyway ive been thinkin bout my suplementry texts. ive already chosen pulp fiction by tarantino band bossibly bohemina rhapsody by queen, but i was wondering does anyone have any good ideas on interesting PM novels to study. i think i should study a novel but i need to find one which im interested in.
