ENGC 7006 - Approaches to Literary Theory

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course provides an introduction to many of the literary and critical theories that have shaped contemporary and central intellectual conversations about interpreting literature and culture. No prior knowledge of theory is required; however, enthusiasm for the challenge and, correspondingly, discipline and diligence in performing all course assignments (reading, writing, and discussion) are definite musts. In following the structure of The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism, we focus on structuralism and poststructuralism, Marxist and cultural studies, feminist, gender, and queer theory, and race and postcolonial studies. Along the way, we attempt to hone skills of argument, critical analysis, and interpretation.
