Title: CRITICAL APPROACHES TO ENGLISH

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2020

Description:
An inquiry into what constitutes contemporary literary study: its subject matter and its underlying goals and methods. Students study literary texts of various genres, as well as literary criticism and theory; inquire into the nature of authorship and of texts; examine and expand their ways of reading, interpreting, and writing about texts; trace the relation of literary criticism to theory; consider the relation of literary study to issues of power; and develop independent habits of thought, research, discussion and analytic writing that are informed by literary theory and criticism.

In this section of English 300, we'll talk about ideology, hegemony, gender studies, Orientalism, ethnic and national boundaries, constructions of normality and race; authors may include Nella Larsen, Kate Chopin, Sandra Cisneros, Herman Melville, and/or David Henry Hwang.
