Topics in Literary and Critical Theory

Course Description

An exploration of a range of thinkers, movements, issues, debates, and practices in twentieth- and twenty-first century literary and cultural theory. Examines how various theoretical discourses conceive of literature and culture, the subject and society, language and power, gender and sexuality, race and class. Explores such schools and fields as Russian Formalism, Marxism, structuralism, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, gender studies, post-colonial, queer, and media theory, but also encourages thinking across these artificial boundaries to examine shared problematics and intellectual heritages.
