In this course you will explore ethics in literature and the ethics of literature. Ethics in literature considers marginalised voices and perspectives represented in the literary work. The ethics of literature considers the relations that form or make literature, and can be viewed through the relations between: the writer and their work; between the text and reader; and between the writer and reader. These relations constitute literature and can be viewed as ways of approaching what this course names "literature's ethics". We will explore these literary relations, their ethics, through our practices as readers of Indigenous Australian literature.
