Section Title:
Critical Theory:Made in Brazil
Section Info:
Meets with PORT 410 and ENGL 475. TITILE: "Critical Theory: Made in Brazil" This course aims at presenting an important school of literary criticism in Brazil, as it was developed at the University of Sao Paulo since the sixties in the works of Antonio Candido, Roberto Schwarz and others. The idea here is to investigate what has been the experience of the dialectic in Brazilian thinking about literature, which could function as a model or at least inspiration for other disciplines. The main concern will be to critically describe how literary form can crystalize social life. Depending on the reading skills of the class texts in Portuguese will also be used. Methodologically, the course will consist of close readings of critical writings accompanied by the literary works on which their insights are based.
