ARTS2042: The Business of Literature has been revamped and is on offer in Term 3! It was previously called Literature and Power.
The course aims to orient you to the diversity of opportunities open to those who work in literary industries, including writers, publishers, and translators, with a focus on international texts and practices. It draws on a range of practical, theoretical, analytical, and creative skills and approaches to examine the ways that literature and the literary are embedded in social, political, economic, and aesthetic realities in a range of global contexts.
At its heart is a focus on the machinery of writing industries from Asia-Pacific to the Middle East and the Americas, which you will examine through a series of case studies and with the guidance of practitioners from fields such as publishing, translating, and editing. It will equip you to participate in a variety of careers in the field of the arts and humanities.
