Credits: 3

Description:
Description:
This is a required course for all English majors.
We will probably use a textbook such as Theory Toolbox written by Jeffrey Nealon and Susan Searls Giroux. The description of the book is fairly accurate, and it is indeed my hope that, "drawing its examples from the social world, literature, popular culture, and advertising," The Theory Toolbox will offer you "the language and opportunity to theorize" yourself about what and how you read as "texts" in the world around you (hint: EVERYTHING is a text!). This book will be supplemented with essays drawn from various theoretical approaches or schools of thought that have contributed to the discipline of English Studies, such as New Criticism, Feminist Criticism, Postcolonial Theory, Marxist Theory, Psychoanalytic theory, Poststructuralism, and the like.
We will also probably read a novel or two during the course of the semester, and view a few films, which will be used to examine and apply some of these theoretical approaches
