GAUHATI UNIVERSITY

INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE AND OPEN LEARNING (GUIDOL)

Programme Project Report (PPR)

PPR ID: GU/GUIDOL/PPR/02 (Total no. pages 7)

Programme: Master of Arts (M.A.) in English

1. Programme mission and objective: The programme to be introduced by Gauhati

University in the ODL mode seeks to bring the learners to the domain of English

literature and aims to introduce them to various dimensions and aspects of English

Studies.

The objectives of the programme are:

To familiarize the learners with the established canonical texts , classics as well as

significant new works in English

To orient learners from diverse fields of study to the living dynamism of English

literature

To help learners gain a firm foundation in the practices of literary analysis

To cater to the ever-increasing demand in academic and corporate sector for English

educated community in the wake of global spread of English

To extend higher education in English literature beyond all conventional barriers, for

the creation of future teachers and scholars.

2. Relevance of the programme with HE's mission and goals:

Gauhati University was established in 1948 with a mission to revitalize educational

leadership, to set the standards for the production and dissemination of knowledge as

wellas to become an effective instrument of change in the society. With this broad aim in

view, the Department of English was established in 1955.

Master of Arts (M.A.) in English to be offered through ODL mode with the motto of

"quality higher education for al", is in sync with the HEl's mission and goals because it

aims to bring learners from various communities and strata -those deprived of higher

education due to various factors like limited number of intake in the conventional mode

of education in the Universities.--to the fold of English literature. Further, to maintain the

quality of education the curriculum as well as the syllabus has been designed keeping it at

par with the curriculum in the conventional mode, considering the specific needs and

requirements of the distance learners and keeping in view the aims and objectives of the

parent department.

3. Nature and target group of learners: Our target group includes-

1) Those deprived of admission in the parent Department of regular mode due to limited

intake capacity.

2) Those employed in various organizations who desire to pursue higher education as a

passion or as a means for movement up the promotional ladder

3) Drop outs primarily due to social, financial and economic compulsions as well as

demographic factors.

4) Job seekers.

5) Lifelong learners.

Gauhati University also has a provision in the ODL mode for lateral entry for those who

had to discontinue the regular programme after successful completion of the first two

semesters due to unavoidable reasons. Acceptability of the lateral entry provision is an

indicator of parity of the courses in regular and ODL mode. The curriculum is designed to

enable learners to fulfil their aims and objectives in a manner they deem fit and proper.

The curriculum is designed by a committee comprising of experts from the parent

Syllabus of M.A. in English

Gauhati University Institute of Distance and Open Learning

The MA English Syllabus of Gauhati University Institute of Distance and Open Learning

(GUIDOL) seeks to acquaint students with English literature against its conditions of

emergence — giving them a sense of the cultural, social, political and economic contexts that

produce literary texts and genres. While its core emphasis is on literature produced in

England, it attempts to give students a sense of the many other locations from which

literature written in English appears, especially following English colonization and the global

spread of English. For instance, the syllabus features papers on Indian Writing in English and

Writings from India's north eastern States. Since the concern of the syllabus is to establish a

context for the Indian student, even as it traces the development of English literature in its

English context it pays some attention to corresponding Indian contexts. The choice of

individual texts and Courses takes account of current interest in issues of gender, the

environment, changing societies and corresponding discourses. Much of this is taken care of

through the kind of teaching where the student's immediate social, cultural and political

context becomes an important consideration. At the same time, it is concerned to show

students the larger interactive background against which texts are produced, the

connections of England with other parts of the world, and the political and cultural relations

amongst countries across the globe. Therefore a significant aspect of this syllabus is the use

of supplementary historical/cultural material and texts by instructors in their courses —

material that does not appear here but will be made available at the start of each semester

to students in order to help achieve the goal of the MA Course to give a comprehensive, up-

to-date and thorough knowledge of the field. With these intentions in mind, the syllabus is

organised in the following way:

1. Each Semester is devoted to a period in literary and cultural history and an effort is

made to offer, as far as possible, a comprehensive understanding of the literature of

that period and its context. Students will have the opportunity to give undivided

attention to a large span of literary history and study it in some detail, examining

themes, forms, texts and authors. This engagement is designed to give students a

surer grounding and enable them to read the literary text with a clear sense of

chronology and depth as well as get a sense of how periods and ideas are studied

today.

2. Individual texts and specific courses will be taught in the light of historical

developments of the form (for example a postmodern novel will be representative of

postmodern developments in fiction and will be taught against a broad background

of earlier and later texts and theoretical and thematic issues).

3. At the start of a semester, students will be given a world timeline of texts and events

that is expected to aid in placing English literature in a global historical context.

4. Papers/Courses conform to the descriptions/definitions given in the CBCS

regulations with Core, Elective, and Open Courses. However, Value-Added Courses

are not offered. Each Core paper in the syllabus carries 6 credits and 100 marks

(80[for end semester examination]-1-20 [for internal assessment]).

2

5. Internal Assessment will be made through M.CQ based internal Assessment

Examination conducted before the final examination in each semester.

6. Questions at the end-Semester examinations in all papers will be both text and

context based and will take account of the themes that are underlined for each

period and paper. These will include questions requiring longer responses

demonstrating the student's comprehension of the ideas and texts taught, logical

organization of argument, and the ability to produce a sustained piece of writing;

and questions (which may be both information and idea based) that require shorter

responses.

Semester 1: 14 th to 18 th Century Literature

This Semester focuses on literary representations in the medieval, renaissance,

reformation, restoration and the Augustan periods in English literary history. Current

scholarship has established that there were rich exchanges between the Middle, Near and

Far East and the mention of this here is by way of indication to the student of what may be

referred to in reading the English text more productively. For instance, it is useful for the

student to know that even as we speak of the Elizabethan Renaissance, the Mughal Empire

was at its peak in India, and the English view of this land in that time was one marked by

wonder and amazement. The selection of English texts is determined by these contexts.

Themes: Antiquity, Politics, Self Fashioning, Science, Religion, Christianity, The individual,

Humanism, Nature, Love & Sexuality, The Body, Performance & Role-playing, Monarchy,

Governance, Money, Trade & Commerce, Travel/Journey/ Voyages, New Worlds,

Cartography, Architecture (the country house poems for instance may be read productively

with this theme), Nature, Education (School, University, the study of the classics), Food &

Fashion, Everyday Life, Race & Gender, Law, Justice, Authority, Liberty, Empiricism.

Additionally the various forms of literature and their developments in this time span will

be attended to.

Semester II: 19 th and 20th Century Literature

This Semester focuses on the literary periods that are traditionally classified as Romantic

Postmodern literature through a paper on 20 th c poetry . While many of the interests and

preoccupations from the earlier centuries continued, there was streamlining and

3

4

sharpening, and shifts that introduced new elements onto older ground. Politically from 1707, with the Act of Union bringing Scotland into the fold, the nation became

more closely integrated. The Whig and Tory parties and the often fractious exchanges they had over public issues made the eighteenth century a period of great political debate but also of radical political change. Britain emerged out of the earlier age of discovery to become a colonial power. Ideas of liberty, reform and social upliftment coming alongside the great political changes and an accompanying socio-political discourse brought about change in the way England perceived its internal responsibilities and those of its colonies. Notions of literature and art shifted and changed during these centuries, with each literary period manifesting unique explorations of different genres. The study of these centuries of literary activity is expected to give students a sense of the complex and rich explorations

of representation by writers in the cultural phases mentioned above.

Themes: Empire, industrialization, evolution, social mores, conduct, class relationships,

labour, education, feminism, publishing, printing and copyright, the literary marketplace,

nature, Romantic ideas of the poet and of poetry, the individual, imagination, the ordinary, the supernatural and romance, aestheticism, Victorian values. These themes will be studied with due attention to the literary forms in which they are expressed.

Semester III: 20 th Century and After

The 20 th century in English literary history has its precursors in Victorian England and

especially in a reaction to Victorian ideals and styles as represented in the literature of

that period. The aesthetic movement of the late 19th century with its basic thrust on 'art

for art's sake' brought about an alienation of the artist from society that can be seen in

the 20th century divide between high and low art forms and between the elite and the

popular. It also brought about the high modern focus on form and the jaundiced view of

the continuing realist tradition especially in the novel. It is a period when the disciplines

of philosophy (Nietzsche), psychology (Freud) and anthropology (Frazer) as well as the

visual arts introduced new concepts and a new language to speak about the arts.

6

Alongside these were technological advances and mass produced goods that made

modern life easier, and brought in newer forms of leisure like the cinema and radio,

medical advances, increasing urbanization and greater mobility facilitated by more

efficient and faster modes of travel. The condition of women and the work conditions of

the poorer classes (especially with the rise of labour unions) improved. Education became

more widely available. British domination over the colonies continued for a while longer,

though the World Wars brought in their wake material destruction, economic instability

and a general sense of despondency and waste that speeded the processes of

decolonization. Fascism and Nazism spread their tentacles over several European nations

and the Cold War between the USA and the erstwhile USSR polarised the world into two

large camps. In reaction to this was the coming together of many newly independent

countries in the Non-Aligned Movement. As the British Empire disintegrated a reverse

colonization began with immigrants from the erstwhile colonies arriving in Britain and

transforming its culture, language, racial composition and politics. While students will

already have had a taste of the impact of these developments in the last Semester

through the paper on poetry, papers in this Semester look further at the literature that

emerged in these conditions and to the expansion of the sites of English literature. Texts

are often those that have been translated into English or have emerged in these new sites

where English language and culture have been introduced (for example the paper on

drama has European, American, African and Indian texts).

Themes: Continuities and critiques of the Victorian past, the sense of a changed world,

migration, resettlement/displacement, cosmopolitanism and cultural hybridity, memory,

a new sense of human selfhood, Englishness, Nationalism, Feminism, Sexualities, War.

Cultural Movements: Existentialism, Phenomenology, Psychoanalysis, Socialism,

Naturalism, Symbolism, Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Impressionism.

Issues of genre will be addressed in each paper and questions will take note of both

formal/generic characteristics and developments, and thematic issues.

Paper 9 : Drama - 20 th Century (Credits: 6, Marks: 80+20)

This paper represents the scope and range of Modern drama, its locations of emergence,

initially in the great theatrical innovations in various European countries and subsequently

its manifestations in countries around the world. Plays in this paper will be studied keeping

in mind issues of form and technique, specific locations of playwrights, the intellectual

backdrop of modernism, and key statements about theatrical practice.

Paper 11 :Electives

Electivel: The Enlightenment (Credits: 6, Marks: 80+20)

The Enlightenment, which began in Europe and America in the 17th century and continued through the 18th, and which is commonly called "The Age of Reason", was understood

widely as a break from the past, an emergence from immaturity to maturity, in all aspects of life, social, cultural, economic, political, etc. The emphasis shifted from faith or tradition to

reason and a scientific temper was sought to be espoused as a departure from the

irrational, superstitious nature of the old world. The objective of this paper is to understand the intellectual and social climate in which this transition from immaturity to maturity was

achieved, and its implications for religion, politics, economics, culture and society. It has two

Sections, the first enabling students to acquaint themselves with critical assessments of the

Enlightenment, the second introducing students to some of the important texts that define

the Enlightenment. Themes listed in the general introduction to Semester 2 will be a way of marking the field for this paper.

Elective 2 : Modernism (Credits: 6, Marks: 80+20)

This paper looks at some key contexts and texts of Modernism / the Modern period. The early 20th century is a dynamic and often contradictory period characterized by radical

breaks from tradition and convention in all fields — social, cultural, political, literary, aesthetic, intellectual, and so on. New developments emerged in the arts and several

academic fields like philosophy, psychology and anthropology since the last decade of the

nineteenth century. The question of class raised by Marx proved to be a serious issue that

came to define the entire century. There was a deep preoccupation with consciousness and

the inner self in modern literature, extending into a perception of decay or stagnation in

modern society and a growing alienation of the individual. War, decolonization and

movements for black rights, gay rights etc also mark this period. Environmental concerns

became central to the period with several major manmade disasters. The texts selected for

this paper represent some of the foundational ideas behind modernism, and larger issues

and ramifications of these ideas may be discussed with reference to relevant literary texts

from around the world.

Open Paper: Writings from North East India (Credits: 6, Marks: 80+20)

India's northeast, geographically located at the margins of the vast nation, is a space whose situation cannot be encompassed within the straitjacket of the nomenclature that it has come to be identified by, given that there is a wide-ranging variety within the region in terms of culture, social structure, language, and everyday practices. This paper aims to look at the questions of naming, as well as represent the variety and the distinctiveness of the locations that are borne by the rubric 'northeast.'

background of English Studies in India, its institutionalization and politics, the problems of

pedagogy, and the debates regarding the canon and canonical texts. Modernity as it is

derived from the west, and the Bengal Renaissance and its implications in terms of the

traffic both to and from the west are issues that will be studied. The three sections of the

1 1

course are structured in such a way that students learn to read the texts prescribed in tandem with the corollary texts (to be provided in a yvutsrponmlkihfedcbaTSPMLIFDCBAbooklet. For example, significant

dramatic writings in the vernacular will be discussed as corollary texts), and develop

critical/historical thinking across geographical timelines and through the suggested themes.

The student will track, for instance, the influence of the nationalist discourse on poetry; the

self in relation to history; the gendered voice in the process of formulating itself in poetry

and fiction, and so on, through their engagement with both the prescribed texts and the suggested reading.

17 (A): Indian English Literature II (6 Credits, Marks: 80+20)

This second paper on Indian English Literature engages with post independence Indian

English writing. Having familiarized themselves with the genesis and evolution of English in

India and Indian writing in English from around the 19th century onwards in the first paper,

the focus here is on writing that emerges in newly independent India up unto contemporary

times. This will be studied in the context of postcolonialism: literatures as expression of

postcolonial Indian sensibilities. Much of the corpus of postcolonial post-independence

poetry / fiction / drama/ theory looks back to the past to create a space for itself and

discover its own voice(s); it grapples with the problematic sense of identity and selfhood

and looks both inwards and outwards as it encounters and engages with an increasingly

globalized world. The intervention of Indian writers in the current debates in literature and

theory indicates a growing consciousness of regional identities; the absorption and

resonance of popular culture as it is felt in the writing, or the politics and economics of the

publishing industry that impacts the emerging genres could be some of the filters through

which the student could negotiate with the given texts.

Open Course: Migration and Literature (6 Credits, Marks: 80+20)

Migration has always been a part of human life. Social scientists have called the post-World

War II movement of people around the globe 'the age of migration.' This paper aims to

capture the historical, social, political, and economic consequences of migration taking into

account instances and experiences of peoples from across countries involved in both

sending and receiving immigrants and see how these have influenced the writing of

literature. The nature of the concerns that migration evokes makes this an interdisciplinary

field and this course begins with a Section that offers essays representing a wide range of

disciplines. It invites attention to the specific historical context that frames the migratory

movements depicted in each country. In addition, it looks at ways that race, class, and

gender dynamics influence the composition of migratory flows.

Themes: Assimilation, Alienation, Strategies of Resistance and Self-Empowerment, Racism

and Colonialism, Displacement, Identity, Return and Re-Emigration, Partition,

Displacement, Mobility, Identity, Memory/Nostalgia, Anomie, Exile, Rootlessness and

Trauma.

This course is divided into two sections with section A focussing on different disciplines that

study migration and Section B focuses on literary texts that represent migration.

Section A: Migrations across Disciplines Marks: 30

16

Migration is studied across disciplines and each discipline looks at different aspects of

migration. This section aims to capture the historical, social, political, and economic

consequences of migration through a reading of essays by writers representing different

disciplines. In these essays the writers are attentive to the specific historical context that

frames migratory movements in various parts of the world.

Section B: Migration and Literature Marks: 50

In this section students will read the literature of migration in order to capture the essence

of what it is like to be a migrant; and be, or not be, part of a community, a nation, a

society—cut off from history and from a sense of place. This section offers a selection of

texts that carry insights into the nature of the migration process and the experience of being

a migrant. Literary accounts address issues such as place perception, landscape symbolism,

senses of displacement and transformation, communities lost and created anew,

exploitation, nostalgia, attitudes towards return, family relationships, self-denial and self-

discovery, etc and it will be the endeavor of this course to understand these issues as

aspects of literary experience.

with thirty seats in 1986 at time in which there were only a few institutions in the entire

country offering post graduate courses in Computer Science. The objectives of the course

were to produce Computer Programmers, Research Scholars, Teachers, Instructors,

Computer Professionals; i.e. to produce manpower for software industries, research and

educational institutions and other organizations in India and abroad and association of the

new generation in these fields and related areas. In 2001, a two-year (four semesters)

M.Sc. programme in Computer Science was introduced after obtaining approval from the

UGC with student intake capacity 15 per batch, replacing the PGDCSA programme. In

2005, the Department started another course MSc in Information Technology (MSc-IT)

together with the existing MSc program in Computer Science. Keeping in view the motto

of “Quality Higher Education For All”, Master in Information Technology (MSc-IT) to

The problem should be such that the students get a chance to explore one or two technologies in depth and grab good

command over those technologies after successful completion of the project. Repetition of the problems already

attempted by students of the previous years should not be encouraged unless the problem has exceptionally great research

importance and scope. Application problems, if found interesting and arisen at the demand of a particular situation, may

also be assigned; but typical information management systems with just two or three simple database tables and/or data-

entry forms are to be discouraged. The project may be done in other Institutes/Organizations with prior permission from

the concerned department of the College and in this case also one project supervisor should have to be from the

concerned department in the College. The work will have to be submitted in the form of a dissertation. Project
