Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

CLT 389 is an introduction to theories and critical approaches as strategies for reading and interpreting texts, films, and other cultural objects. Students in this course will read a variety of literature and theory with an eye toward understanding what criticism's roles are, why and how the study of literature and culture (still) matters, and how they can develop their own critical skills based on their personal interests and concerns. This course teaches reading strategies that will help students to get to the heart of what they are studying, and very significant amounts of course work will be devoted to the art of writing the literary essay. How do you choose a thesis, what methods of investigation do you employ, and how do you synthesize your analysis? Required of all Majors in MLC, this course is also open to students with a Minor in an MLC discipline, or by permission of the Instructor.
