Description:

"ENG 20400 Critical Theory at UCD; This module introduces students to the key theoretical debates and issues in the humanities, particularly pertaining to the study of language and literature. It demands careful reading of theoretical texts and close attention to a series of difficult concepts, but in return this module repays students' efforts by providing an indispensable grounding in the foundational vocabularies and conceptual tools of the most exciting and progressive areas of contemporary critical and cultural studies. By the end of the module, students should be able to: - Identify the key theoretical debates and issues as addressed in readings and classes - Analyse the potential uses and problems of particular theoretical approaches to language and literature - Begin to formulate a sense of their own theoretical assumptions and predilections with regard to issues in the humanities."
