ENG-4 Love Stories:
           The Discourse of Desire 1800- the Present

Lecturer: Dr Jens Kirk
Course description:
"Before Romeo and Juliet there was Tristan and Isolde" reads the advertisement for the recent film Tristan and Isolde and Roland Barthes once said that “every other night, on TV, someone says I love you”, suggesting that the discourse of desire is omnipresent in our culture. And, indeed, while most of us are ignorant of the discourses of law or medicine, we can’t escape love in our own stories, in culture, or in literature. Utilising a range of theoretical perspectives, this seminar examines both “real” and “fictional” love stories, investigating the following issues, among others: What is a love story? What is the relationship between love and reading and writing? Why do we have and need so many love stories? What is the relationship between love and personal identity?
Assessment: This course may only be assessed by a project exam in combination with the 20th Century Literary Trends course (see above) .

Basándonos principalmente en la obra de Sanz de la Tajada, L. A. (1994). Integración de la identidad y la imagen de la empresa. Desarrollo conceptual y aplicación práctica. Madrid: Esic Editorial 1, esta asignatura pretende afrontar el análisis detallado y profundo de las relaciones entre las estrategias de comunicación y la imagen institucional de las organizaciones y empresas, tanto públicas como privadas.
