| Title: | Justdolit : a single tool to analyse most texts |
|---|---|
| Description: | JustdoLit is an online tool designed primarily for analysing literary texts but which can also be applied to other media. The tool is designed for students and teachers of literary and cultural studies, enabling students to produce comprehensive analyses. This system uses a four-dimensional method of analysis to explore texts, the four dimensions being: individual; society; metaphysics; and nature. The website provides a summary of the genesis and use of four-dimensional analysis, as well as a more in-depth introduction to the method and to each of the four 'dimensions'. Sample texts and analyses are provided, including explorations of: 'An Irishman forsees His Death' by W. B. Yeats; 'The Eagle' by Tennyson; and even the lyrics to 'The Show Must Go On' by Queen. This tool would be of interest to literature students (English and other) at university level as well as cultural studies more generally (the site touches on modern film in its discussions, as well as music and poetry). Teachers will also find this an interesting tool to suggest to students as an alternative to other methods of literary analysis. |
