The aim of this module is to provide you with an understanding of four areas of study within the Humanities (Visual Culture; Film Studies; Literary Studies; and History of Ideas) and an outline of the way that they are studied at university. Many of the lectures are in the form of an overview of the subject or cover topics (such as Modernism) which are of relevance to more than one subject. While you must attend and participate in all classes, you need only write assignments on two of the four subjects meaning that you can effectively specialise if you wish. The module serves as an introduction either to one of the four subjects or to an overall Liberal Arts course or Liberal Arts-related course (such as the KCL Liberal Arts BA, Culture, Media and Creative Industries BA or Digital Culture BA).
You are assessed through a combination of an essay (30%), a mini-exam (20%) and a final exam (50%).
By the end of the module, you will be able to demonstrate the intellectual, transferable and practicable skills appropriate to this level of module and in particular will be able to:
History of Ideas
Religious Studies
Philosophy
History of Art
Literature Studies
Film Studies
General Arts/Philosophy
Religious studies/Philosophy
