2021 Spring Term Julian Salanki — salanki2112@gmail.com
Content-based theme:
The analysis and evaluation of the aesthetical and philosophical content in well-crafted song lyrics.
Course Goals: Language analysis and presentational skills development. The goal of this course is to develop your knowledge of colourful, figurative language, creative expression and a higher intellect found in a selection of well-crafted lyrics. It is intended to help you identify, analyse and evaluate the aesthetics and philosophy in the chosen lyrics and such literature. In addition, it will give you the opportunity to research, analyse, evaluate, and present lyrics of your choice. Presentational skills and public speaking will also feature.
Course Description: This course will cover a number of songs made by a now-retired Canadian group called Rush. These songs will be analysed and evaluated thoroughly in class. In turn, this will set examples that you will use to re-produce your own similar analyses, etc. Class sessions will include activities which require active participation.
