"There" is a marker of pointing, precision and definition - but also one of distance and difference. For "there" is somewhere other than "here". This spatial and geographical Other is the main focus of interest in this course, which constitutes an exploration of a range of these other places - these elsewheres - in selected works of British, Canadian and American fiction from the last hundred years. In other words, this course aims to investigate important aspects of the past century by means of some of its different spaces in fiction.
The course revolves around the four main texts as listed below - by Hemingway, Golding, Ondaatje and Auster, which all have in common this investigation of a site of somewhere else. These texts describe a series of journeys and displacements and use their various elsewheres in order to address a range of different themes and issues. Hemingway's exploration of the African wild seems to raise questions of authenticity and originality. It presents the savannah as a site of power and primitivity. Golding's island narrative describes the marooning of a group of schoolboys on a desert island, and uses this displacement to investigate themes of civilization, savagery and brutality. Like an island surrounded by a roaring sea, humanity, in Golding's book, seems disconcertingly inhuman. Ondaatje's overtly geographical novel investigates issues of identity, nation and home. It is a text of belonging, borders and the borderless. And finally, Auster's latest novel articulates a series of spaces and regions in text. It constitutes a gradually emergent map of intertextual topography - and a site for - by then, probably - sore eyes.
Den studerende kan først indstille sig til prøven i bachelorprojektet, når samtlige andre prøver på de to første år af bacheloruddannelsen er bestået.

Den første del af semesteret består af emneundervisning, der foregår på hold, hvor centrale dele af et specifikt emneområde gennemgås. I løbet af emneundervisningen forventes den studerende at arbejde med skriftlige opgaver og/eller mundtlige fremstillinger, individuelt og sammen med andre. I samarbejde med underviseren udvælger den studerende et særligt aspekt af emneområdet som sit projektemne. Den sidste del af semestret består af individuelt arbejde med informationssøgning og udformning af det valgte projekt, med underviseren som vejleder.
