Title: THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO LITERATURE

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2023

Credits: 3

Description:
This seminar provides an introduction to three key lines of thought in twentieth-century critical theory—structuralism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis—along with theories that modify or reject them. In each case, we will begin with foundational texts and proceed through later developments, including, for instance, the emergence of gender theory and postcolonial theory from psychoanalytic and Marxist bases. In each case, too, we will focus on the translation of theoretical models into methods of literary interpretation.
