48564	Lecture-Discussion	C	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	104 English Building	Bales, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/19-05/01/19 Section Info: On the books, this course promises to introduce you to the basic terrains of literary criticism, or more specifically, it promises to offer a survey of the major critical and theoretical movements that have influenced the study of literature in the last half a century, taking you through a whirlwind tour of new criticism, structuralism and narratology, deconstruction and poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism, queer studies, Marxism, new historicism, cultural studies, critical race theory, postcolonial studies, and reader response. This particular section of the course will indeed introduce you to the above, but it will do so, with the literary text always at the centre of the discussion. In other words, you will read about the emergence of a specific theoretical movement, and then you will read a short story or novel or folk tale and analyze it such that you yourself may practice the critical trend you have just learnt about. In some cases, you will also read an essay that models such an anlysis so that there will be an already existing template for your practice. Finally, the course also asks that you read and analyze film versions of the texts we will be reading. Thus, popular media and film criticism will also be a part of the critical/theoretical trends that you will study.
