ENGC 8013 - Psychoanalytic Theory and Criticism

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

In this course, we read many of Freud's major papers, ground-breaking and innovative studies in relational theory, and the most important essays of Lacan's Ecrits. In this way, we investigate the three major schools of psychoanalysis, namely, classical Freudianism, Object Relations Theory, and French psychoanalysis. We also read works that interpret important dimensions of human experience and contemporary culture by the light of these same psychoanalytic perspectives. Students are responsible for oral presentations that discuss a theoretical concept or set of concepts and that apply a given psychoanalytic perspective to a literary text or a cultural issue. Students also write a seminar paper in which they develop a sustained critical psychoanalytic reading of a topic (literary or cultural) of their own choice.
