What are some of the fundamental theories about artistic unity and meaning? What relationships might we discern between aesthetics, books, plays, movies, artworks, and modern products such as hypertexts? How can critical theories (that is, modes of analysis) let you look more deeply into culture and the arts - and also help you look ahead to graduate school? Find out in this course! We'll learn some standard terminology, then read and discuss selections by critical theorists of western cultural history (Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Marx, Freud, Barthes, Foucault, and Landow). We will apply these critical selections to several target texts from different eras (Iphigenia at Aulis, The Tragedie of Doctor Faustus, City Lights [video], Lord of the Flies [video], and hypertexts). Students are expected to keep detailed notes about each reading, participate in discussions, and write a weekly critical response applying course readings to the target texts. Prerequisites: GE 101 Additional Fees: Readings include at least one hypertext (which may be free or may cost up to $25); students may wish to print out Web text materials and photocopy reserve materials (appx. $15).
